Everything Wrong with the Nikon Z6

- I'm a photographer and filmmaker. This is everything I can tell that is wrong with the Nikon Z series cameras after using the Z6 for filmmaking.
I apologize for the clickbaity title, my goal is not to say that the Z6 is a bad camera. It's a great camera! Nikon missed the mark with what filmmakers need to make great content. My hope is that they might see this and fix some of the issues. Nearly all of the issues I have can be fixed with firmware updates which Nikon has committed to with this camera system. So hop on board and let Nikon know what you want in the next firmware update. THANKS!

Mark, nail on the head.
15 year Nikon loyalist here. I’ve been a professional photographer for some time. I started dabbling with video 4 years ago and wanted to do both. Then the Z series comes along. I thought this was it, I’m in hybrid heaven. I own 4 Z cameras. I really wanted 4K60fps in log format. Here comes the Z6ii. All I hear about is how it is able to do 4k60 raw. So I buy the camera and then wait 2 months for the update just to be disappointed that it only does 4K60 internally at 8 bit. So wait!!! I get 4k up to 30 FPS over hdmi 10bit Log (Fantastic) and the new camera stops there??? That’s it!!!Once you get a taste of 10bit color there is no going back. I’m not shooting one thing in 10 bit then going back to 8 bit just to get 4k60. Epic mistake by Nikon. I was so upset.
I love you Nikon it’s been a great run but I had to go to Sony for all my video needs. Please step it up! I really hope they don’t get left behind in photography as well.
dude. yes. upload. the end.
Totally get your complaints about the video features.
But I can't complain about the lenses. Even if the new f1.8 lenses are longer than its predecessors, they have much better image quality wide open than the old f1.4 lenses stopped down even further than 1.8 ... while costing about half as much.
I’ve heard very good things about the new S lenses’ IQ, I’m just surprised about the size. They create such big lenses knowing small lenses are possible (and standard for mirrorless) without giving an explanation. I just want a pocketable 50mm for travel.
Dude great video, but kill the music next time. 👌🏻
As a Nikon z6 user, I a approve this message
I like the nikon design. I actually don't like pancake lenses, they are a nightmare to hold. I wish the z6 body were a little larger.
I dont think the z lenses are the same as the f mount lenses, z lenses knock the f lenses out of the park and that's why the premium pricing.
I also admire the fact that nikon decided to bifurcate the professional filmmaker features from casual film making features. This makes the camera more affordable to a much wider section of the customer base who just want full frame 4k or full frame 1080p with decent slow motion. And if somebody wants professional tools then they can get a ninja v. I love the nikon colours, NOTHING comes even close. Z6 isnt the perfect camera but when i bought it with the 24-70 f4 lens and the ftz adapter, it cost was the least among it, fuji xt3+8-18mm f2.8 and gh5+its wide angle f2.8 lens.
Z6 is a practical camera that has cut some corners to keep itself within the reach of a large number of working professionals. And thats what makes z6, despite its shortcomings, special.
I absolutely love the Z mount lenses. I want a pancake lens for travel.
A firmware update could fix my only issues with the camera, otherwise it’s perfect.
It’s a photo camera with some video features.. and for that title it does deliver.. EOS R and a7iii does not do shutter angle or the 10 bit internal.. so the z6 is competing for a different consumer compared to a gh5 .. i think the z lenses are fantastic.. if you are complaining then you haven’t used the primes.. probably the old G lenses might suit you for video but for photography it makes a difference.. they are designing it for the next 10 years when the cameras may be having 50-80mpxl
I understand that they’re competing with a different market. My complaint is with that market really. Many filmmakers coming from DSLRs don’t know what they’re missing out on and how easy life is with shutter angle. Sony just released the FX3 cinema camera which also doesn’t have shutter angle. Cine camera operators are justifiably upset at the omission.
Being a d750 user for a long time, Z6 has made me start videography thanks to autofocus .. if it was shutter angle or any of the pro level of operation then I would have to start learning the difference and it would be a hurdle to just start videography.. i think that’s why the mirrorless cameras don’t have such features.. once you need pro features, you need to buy a cine camera with those features.. expecting everything in a mirrorless body for 2000usd is not right.. gh5 is by Panasonic and they prioritize video over photo.. they want you to finally upgrade to their cine line.. and people who are into photography don’t get gh5.. so I think the user of a z6 will be fine with it until he eventually needs pro cine features.. but I think that Nikon should start making cinema cameras like c300 and c500. It’s high time. People leave nikon once they get into video. Z6 is a good effort but Nikon needs to show the target customer an upgrade path or else they won’t invest into Z lenses etc if they have to switch brands after a while..
@@anfalshams I think telling a company that it’s okay for them to not include better software features because you didn’t pay much for the camera, is a terrible message to send. If you tried shutter angle you would love it. You don’t have to think about shutter speeds anymore, the camera sets the shutter speed based upon frame rate. It also lets you fine tune motion blur or adapt to flickering LEDs or anything like that.
Yes, I totally agree that they should create a cine focused product range that uses the Z mount. Upgrade paths and building the value of investing in the ecosystem is truly where a system like this will either live or die.
Wireless Go please.
The lenses are big because they do not focus breathe, a very important feature for video. Your pancakes will be compromised here.
