When I was first getting into photography years ago I found this man's UA-cam channel and I bought what I could on the used market on his recommendations and I can honestly say I was extremely happy with every single purchase I made and I value this man's opinion extremely high in the world of photography I love my Nikon I love my vintage lenses that cost next to nothing still using a DSLR in 2024 and could😅n't be happier
Shame he’s not making photography videos anymore
I love my Nikon D700 and D300 cameras. Will never sell them but keep them with all my film cameras.
Story time...I am a Truck Driver...been shooting for over 20+ years with Nikon bodies...picked up the D500 2 years and ago and fell head over heels in love! That camera is just AWESOME! Well built with all the features a pure shooter could ever want and then some...but it’s not a FX body and it’s time to step up to the big leagues and plus I need something a bit more robust due to my Sasquatch sized hands! So, I pick up a D4S and BOOM! Lust meets Love! My photos take on a new soulful look and feel...plus it’s built like a damn tank! I love them both and they are the reasons as to why I will KEEP shooting with DSLR bodies (as long as Nikon keeps making them like those 2) My D4S took flight within my tractor last week after I had to do some hard breaking...the only damage was a tear in the rubber eye cup and nothing else...LIKE A TANK! Give me D850 in a D5 body and I wouldn’t need another camera body EVER.
L. Walker See...this guy gets it! 2 legged idiot behind the wheel...just...wanted to be in my lane really badly :-(
Good quality glass matters most than any camera. And it is usually more expensive than the body itself.
Awesome video! Just recently became a fan of D3/D3s and own them after 13 years of not being able to afford them. :) They're amazing.
The best purchase that I ever made was my D4s. 16MP, full frame, built like a tank and a joy to shoot and carry.
Got a Nikon d3 coming tomorrow. Wanted one for years. Finally getting one.
Love my new d3.
I actually really like my D3X. 10 years old now. Got it used for £1k. Colours are golden!
they just pushed teh D3X too far in its build, ...$1000 euros? cheap!!!!
My favorite camera body is still my D3. Second is my D700 backup body.
@@KenTheoriaApophasis what do you mean?
I bought my d850 last year after watching this video ... d850 with 50 1.8 g on it is like peanut butter and jam ... those color wow 😯
D700. Still love it. A tank.
Exactly. I picked up a D3x (used) in August of 2015 for the extra megapixels for birding so's I could crop. Was not happy with it. Sold it (and a D7100) five months later to pay for a new D500+grip from B+H. Much happier. Still have the D500.
Para mi la Nikon D3s es la mejor de todas, por velocidad, por robustez, duración de la bateria,facilidad de uso.... y rendimiento a isos altos.
D3 is an absolute tank, just bought a D3s to replace it as a camera retailer here in the UK decided to have a pre-Christmas sale and dropped 20% off their "clearance" items, so got a 47k shots D3s for £520 ($660). An absolute steal!
My D3 has been the acomplus for my D800 for the last 7 months and it's been great but isn't the best example, she's a bit battered mind you, but has plenty of life left with a measly 190k on the clock. Just find the low-light on the D3 lacking a bit so thought why not?
Must argue the D800 as the best bang for the buck, mine was £430 with 90k and found another recently for £420 with 78k. A steal, considering the resolution, pro layout, pretty snappy AF and respectable low-light capabilities.
The D3s is still relevant in 2020, saw some raw images recently and my jaw dropped.
Hows jaw now..?
The D810 should be in that lineup as well.
As far as other manufacturers concerned I add the Kodak DCS6xx/7xx series (the one and only 35mm DSLR camera system out there based on the Nikon F5), the Hasselblad H3D-II series and the Leica M8 original (fastest shutter on any rangefinder camera) to the bunch of legendary camera bodies.
All of these were gamechangers and still are strong pieces of equipment.
Find yourself a lady who talks about you the way
Theoria Apophasis talks about his Nikon D4.
never gonna happen
Sure won’t.
Stay MGTOW and say no to hypergamy :D
When looking for a lady, my ideal would be an attractive nymphomaniac who owns a camera store.
Might take lessons here. However I'd end up opening one, then have her work under me. xD
One of my personal favourite cameras is the Nikon D3S which I still use among other cameras. I cannot find a specific video on the D3S. Have you ever done one? Or would you ever consider doing one in 2020?
I love the fire on the mac. Makes me feel like I’m about to watch Owl Theatre
d3s. i got one for 350$. only because of you. it will arrive in 2 days. I'm already happy with it, because you said so. thank you ken.
D850 looks quite nice but I think I will stick with my D800. Just haven`t felt the need to upgrade since IQ is so excellent.
Exactly. I've purchased and returned almost all of the newer Nikons (D810, D850, Z6 and even Z50!) and still prefer the D800. Once I learned how to download custom picture controls, I was able to tune the perfect in-camera color (Fuji Film Velvia) without even having to make any color/shadow adjustment in any software later. And the button layout is still the very best. :)
@@joelcrow how do you control picture controls can you do it with a Nikon v1
this thread is interesting 🤔😏😅
@@joelcrow interested in learning how you get velvia from a D800! Could you please share please? Thank you
That table looks like Nikon pro service....
My Nikon D3s FAR exceeds my photographic abilities, and as long as it keeps working, I will never part with it.
I upgraded from a d3400 a month ago. Almost got a d7500, then found a way to get a new d500 for a little over $1k. Very happy I followed your recommendation!!!!
Hi greetings from the UK,I enjoy watching your videos have been a Nikon user for decades with the original F F2,F3,F4 F3 being my all time 35mm SLR.....I currently have a D800 with about 21000 clicks on it,love it but 4fps is not enough so I picked up a mint D4 with only 3,156 clicks for £780 or $982 yesterday can't wait to fire that shutter at 10 fps! keep the videos coming.
hi, Ken.I have d850 and d750, watching ur videos make me wonder how it feels to have one more d4s. Is it a good bargain to have a new d4s with 1k5 dollars in 2022? Thx a lot!😂
Ken, just found a D3 with 2500 clicks...$600!! Love your vids!! Thx
I spent hours shooting with fellow photographers with a D4vand a D500 at a low light soccer game.
We were all surprised to see how much better the high iso performance was compared to the D500. The D4 files at iso 10k were far better than D500 at 5k
In fact we noticed considerable noise at 3k in the D500.
APS-C is APS-C
the best of them still cannot beat such FF sensor performance of the D4.
# L E G E N D A R Y
thanks Ken for all your honest reviews and judgement.
my D3s still rocks like a vintage Lamborghini!
Never had any of the big bodies but the 850 is my fav camera of all time, so far.
Legendary Nikon DSLRs:
D500
D850
D3S
D4
Otokichi786 I'd add D700.
You forgot the D700.
D700 is amazing, but its not "legendary" by all criterion i can judge by
D7200
I still have the D850 and D3s. Used to have the D4 and the D500, and I miss them. All fine cameras.
Which would you rather pick today a D4 $1,000 with 75,000 clicks or D850 $2,000 with 76,000 clicks?
Nikon D800 is not here, and I'm glad.
Hello, thanks for all your advices! I have a good old D700 and a D4 camera, very happy with both and not looking for any upgrade. But I'm curious... Isn't the dynamic range on D850 much higher than on the D4? According to DxOmark yes, but can I have your feeling about this ? Many thanks!
I have a D850, I feel the same way. It's in my bag till I go in the ground. I respect your passion.
Have you ever tried m42 lenses on Nikon body? Don't faint on this question.
yes, some work, others hit the mirror
Lol!! I still use my Legendary D2x for beating the street trail!!
D700 is up there for sure
D850s are still constantly backordered but it seems the wait time is a lot shorter now. Hunt's actually had some in stock last week but they didn't last long. It seems you can get your hands on one in a couple of weeks now.
I got mine last week from Amazon. Took about two weeks from the time I ordered it.
I got mine from Hunt's, good people.
Recently grabbed a minty Nikon D4s with 200k clicks for 500 British pounds! I’m prepared to have it fixed in the future if possible :) it has been a dream camera I never imagined to own!! So far it’s been amazing! ticks everything I want in a camera
Ken, you're costing me a lot of money the last couple of years!
I've had my D850 for 4 days. Trying to get a feel for when I want to shoot it vs. the D500 and which lens should be attached to it vs. the D500. Loving it so far. But I'm trying to keep from using it as my "action" camera. Today, I just received my Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 Nokton. Can't wait to learn how to use it.
Interested to know your opinion on the Voigtlander 58mm. What do you think after using it for some time?
Love D810
I own the d500 on your recommendation and I love it. Currently saving for the d850 😊
I was saving up for the D500 but lost my job after 18 years there. Sucks.
I do have the D7100 I bought used (7,200 shutter clicks) on craigslist (really nice guy sold it to me cheap) just before losing my job and I love it especially after Angry P's videos touting the D7100 as a good Dx camera.
I'm teaching myself photography via UA-cam since its such a great hobby now that I'm unemployed. UA-cam also has quite a few short, simple, yet effective videos by people who take the time to properly explain digital photography in plain english.
Angry Photographer has given good advice on what lenses to purchase and i have taken his advice on several of them; 60mm f2.8D, 70-300mm G VR, 85mm f1.8D, 35mm f1.8G DX. I would like to get the Tokina 100mm f2.8.
My photography has improved and am working more thoughtfully on developing that eye on how to frame out a picture thru the viewfinder and lens and learn how to properly understand and execute the exposure triangle. Now, learning about mastering light is a tricky mother....
Bought my first film camera, a Nikon N2020 in 1987, then went on to buy a used Nikon 8008S in 1993. As time went on, I realized I really sucked at photography and gave up. I still have those cameras... in mint condition, yikes!
In 2018, i picked up the hobby anew and slowly but steadily working on taking better pictures.
Photography was always something that interested me and now more than ever, I am patiently trying to live by this saying- " Nothing is gained without practice".
The d500 is a crop sensor beast!
I shoot amateur dog sports. If you had to choose between the D500 and the D4, which would you choose? I have a D300s, D3 and D7100 now.
Ccd is coming back
Love my D500, Thanks Ken for the recommendation!!!
I just bought my d850 for $2700, already love that camera
new or used? if new, where did you buy it from?
@@ItsWillLee used, found it on fb market
Still waiting on the D3X video. :)
Btw, can't find any tech articles on what actually made the D3S such a low light beast. They must have pulled out all the stops with regard to the SNR firmware.
Main difference between the D3 and D3s as well as the D4 and D4s is processing speed and video.
The D3 didn't have video, that was later added to the D3s.
The D4 is a great camera, but needed a speed boost to the auto-focus, which was accomplished by going to the Expeed 4 processor in the D4s. Also the D4s added 60 fps to the 1080p video over the D4 only having 30fps. If you're not a video shooter, any of the Nikon older professional cameras are work horses and well worth the money.
Jup the highlights are blown out on your head!😆😉
Love the video! Great content and information. I am saving for a Nikon D4s. I like how you did the snap at the end of the video and said "Peace out Girl Scout"
I agree with your thought on the Legendary D3/D4 however regarding the D500 and D850, as a pro wildlife photographer the D850 is the superior camera (If you have the glass for it) the slower FPS is a problem for some, but the AF is so good that as long as you know how to pick the right moment for a shot the 7FPS or 9 with the grip and D5 batteries will easily cope. The higher MP is gorgeous and the RAW files are superior meaning if ultimate quality is what you're after then the D850 wins and having used it for solid months in the field, working in the rainforest, UK and overseas on multiple assignments its the first camera I'll always add to the bag. For most people however the D500 is bloody awesome (price/performance) and the savings on the camera over the D850 allows for the purchase of some excellent lenses to pair with it, and of course as we all know lenses are key, that any camera with poor optics is never going to perform to the standards we are after. Cheers, Tom
I never had an issue with the FPS with sports/editorial, as a friend who shoots wildlife. I found turning off preview on all my Nikon DSLRs has helped with the FPS with the battery pack, EN-18C battery
What about D700?
I truely think the D500 is an insane camera, I don’t own it but I own a D7200 which is a lovely camera and the D500 is pretty much the perfected version of the D7200. I just love how the D500 has all the technology and image quality you’ll ever need in a APS-C DSLR. The only sad thing is that it has bad liveview autofocus but that’s the only bad thing I could think of
Agreed. Liveview isn't that great, but it's such a fantastic camera.
Looking to get a D3s for some events that I will be shooting in the future, most of those images are for instagram and Facebook pages so for the time being I might pick the good old D700. Think that will be plenty :)
Awesome comparison between the D500 & Sugar gliders. I own & love the d500 (partly because of your videos). Use to breed sugar gliders, cool little creatures.
I love my D3s and my D300s.
The d500 with 24mp ff will be a nice camera if nikon will make it... D850 is really nice but 46mp is too much... 24mp is a sweet spot... The d780 is a big NO..
D3, D3s here. I`m going to get D4 as well. Great cameras!
not cheap though
@@KenTheoriaApophasis True :) My wallet hurts but it has to be done :) D3/D4 cult FTW! Bahahahahaha
They are now Ken, I just bought a D4 Mint condition with only 26,000 shutter count, plus 2 new batterys for £700
I had no trouble getting my D850. It said back ordered, but it shipped that day.
Ken, I have a D3s which I love. It is real work horse. How ever, I am thinking about switching to a D4 or even a D4s. Would you recommend the change - if I find one on a good price/condition level?
no, not really, the D3s is epic, i own one also..... bit better AF, and better SOOC output, but not for the expense, no
I personally wouldn't change from D3s to D4s also. (nor the D4)
Absolutely love my D500. I find myself using more and more as my main camera. If I just take one camera and a lens I grab the D500 and AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED.
Hi I enjoy a lot your videos and the vast knowledge that you share on them. As a Nikon D500 user for several years With more then enough FX glass for it I was wondering in your expert opinion which camera would you recommend between D500,D850 and Z7 for a overall good enough camera. I have no complains about my D500 but I was thinking about upgrade to a full sensor since everybody claims that a full sensor as the one in D850 and Z7 are better and with more megapixels. Can you please recommend me one of the three since I like Nikon and you are a Nikon expert. Thanks so much
I don't quite get all the hate the D3x gets. Is it just because it was expensive when it came out? Seems like you can't find hardly anything about it online, just people bitching about how expensive it was. I just picked one up for $630 bucks and I love the images it's giving me so far. Wish I understood all the negative flack it gets better though. Might be a good video for you to do. There's nothing for it by any other good UA-camrs and lots available cheap on the used market.
Θεωρία Απόφασις, πραγματικά απολαμβάνω τα βίντεο σχετικά με τις φωτογραφικές μηχανές :-)
I'm making a serious attempt at tweaking my picture controls on my D7100 and D7200 cameras for JPG plus lightroom profiles for RAW because I don't want to spend a ton of money on new gear just at the moment and everything coming out right now has some kind of flaw.
First off thank you for the recommendation of the Nikon D500. I am looking at the D3S as my second camera. What do you think about the D3S as a second camera?
LOL
All my DLSRs have always been Canons (40D, 7D, 5D, 70D), but here we are in 2024, and I'm about to pull the trigger on a Nikon D40X for its wonderfully "old school" CCD sensor and its lack of video capability and a self-focus motor. The more I learn about taking pictures, the simpler I want my camera to be.
Always love your videos because you are so honest.
how the iso compare to d3s and 850? like music concerts and dark photo shoots..
Good video. That Fuji you have looks pretty well built.
What about a D3X ($1200 today) for cropability (and all the great dials of the D3)?
Hi:
Ken never recommended buying a D3x, he did not offer any detailed explanation why not. I bought one $800 with 47K shutter counts about two years ago. Since I am not a pro so your purpose of getting one might be different. So far I really enjoy using it mainly for landscape and family photos.
You know why I like this guy, because he doesn’t lie or mislead like some of the fuckers on here so just to get free perks for themselves... he says it like it is. Add to that he has a very high intelligence.. he’s got my vote !!! I’m going for the D3s or D4 myself. Screw the 500
LOL Nikon D500 + wet dream=totally subscbribed..lol
I enjoy your videos, insight and realness. Keep up the good work.
Used to have a minty D3S, miss that camera. Only thing I didn't like was the totally different color output compared to my D700. Had to process the RAWs very differently. High ISOs were epic though.
Mark Pitsilos what does that Meaning I have shot with the D 700 using an old 3572.8 and I love the color saturation I am considering buying a D3 S and I have not use that camera but what does the output difference that you and the video maker talk about
So which one is the best for high iso performance and low light photography?
omarchafa - 850 - I use a D3s and D700 as well and the 850 outshines my other rigs for low light, also excellent for long exposure low ISO (64 base) in low light or with ND filters during the day - shoots 4K vid as well if you’re into videography
Upgrading to the D500 pretty soon. Getting it from Roberts Camera on your recommendation. Already bought a tripod from them and they are great to deal with.
Roberts!!! :)
Hey Ken! Thanks for tour videos!! I want to know what’s your opinion on buying a d810 with 120K shots for 950 USD?
Great video, Ken.
I already have a D500 with the MB-D17 grip.....should I buy a D4 with only 8K on the shutter for a good price? Or just wait and get a D850 next year?
Hey. Great information. Please suggest the lenses for D500 for regular photography by which I mean family weddings, functions and vacation.
I have way too many cameras but I'm loving my new addition, d4
Sold D810 but kept my D3 and 2xD700 and D800 but sadly they don't get anything like the use my Fujifilm X cameras do these days 🙁
Hey, Ken,
I've been watching your channel for years, and I know, you know almost everything about Nikon cameras. So, here is my situation!: I want to buy a new DSLR, and I have cca 1300$ for the body. I dont have professional glasses for Nikon, because I've been working with Canon in recent years. I usually shoot hockey and demonstrations (some photojournalistic jobs, you can see this in my account), and I want to have a professional Nikon body. But I dont know which is better for me: the D3S (with 28-70&80-200) or the D500 (with 17-55&80-200). Should I go to FF, or can I stay in DX for professional jobs? Thanks for your answer!
Hey Ken, I got a D610 earlier this year at a steal, should I upgrade or work with what I have? I also bought the Tamron 35mm and 24-70mm G2 lenses based off your review. I love them both.
courtney wright It depends on your needs. The D610 sensor and file size are fantastic, and although it's not ideal I've even used it for sports. For weddings, portraits, products, landscapes, etc. it's a fine choice. If it works for your needs you should continue to use and enjoy it.
Owning a d610 as well as a d850 I think I am qualified to give my 2 cents:
The D610 produces very good pictures, has an ok AF system and does most of the stuff well. The d850 has much faster autofocus which really becomes apparent with lenses such as the Tamron 70-200g2. The image quality is another level above the d610 / you can crop away 90% of he picture and will still see decent results. However the best part about the d850 is that the pictures come out of the camera so well that there’s hardly any post processing needed (at least from the pictures I took so far) so if you are earning money with the camera I would definitely consider the expense / same for nature / wildlife and sport photography. If you do portraits / street / travel mostly then maybe not
Hope it helps
The D850 is back in stock at most retailers. Wonder if the price will go down at all for thanksgiving and year end sales.
Just managed to bag a D4 with only 4500 acts. for only £1345 (incl of Spring discount) by a Nikon specialist shop in London #GRAYSOFWESTMINSTER
That's awesome. How does it compare to other nikon bodies you have owned/own?
What newer nikon camera compares to the d3s in the smaller body cameras like the d610 ? Nikon called the d3s a professional-grade camera but they don't list the d610 as a professional-grade camera but it's specs look way better than the older d3s . If a newer camera has better specs than a 10 year old camera why isn't the newer d610 listed as as professional-grade camera ? What makes the d3s a professional-grade camera and the d610 not ? Here are the d610 specs . imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d610/spec.htm . Would you say the smaller d610 is more advanced in every way over the d3s except for the 9 fps at 12 mp and compared to 6 fps at 24 mp . Is 3 frams per sec worth having half the mp's and not even 1080 p and the iso doesn't even go down to 100 it starts at 200 . I wish you would do a comparison of the d3s and the d610 . I have a Nikon D1h now and I'm thinking about updating . I have been watching the prices and the d3s are selling for around 600.00 now . Can I use the same lens I have for the d1h on either the d3s or the d610 ?
Just picked up a D3s with a shutter count of 750 (less than 1000) for $1000. Can't wait to marry it with my 100 F2 DC.
that's a nice deal
Is the D3s still worth buying today? As a way into FX without having to spend thousands on body alone.
Currently have a D7200, would like a FX but in truth don't have an endless budget for body and won't need a huge amount of glass.
Not to mention the Nikonos underwater cameras and lenses...
I still using my d700 and d300s as backup right now
My classics would be..
D500...
D300s..
D3Xs..
D800E..
There never was a D3Xs. Nikon did, however make a D2Xs, and of course the D3s and D3x.
Awesomeness! I have all the bodies you suggested.
Very informative one! Ken, what's your opinion about D700 in 2020?
You said on a previous video comparing the D700 that there was no need to buy a d3s if you can get a D3, “...why, why, why, why...?”
what is with nikon p900, so compact and such magnification.
I want a D850 😂😂 Stuck with my D700 until I have enough money (mainly wanting to upgrade for more detail in bigger canvas prints)
You aren’t “stuck” with a D700. You are blessed with a D700. Don’t sell it.
No true photographer is ever "Stuck" with any camera.
