Wait wait. I thought I’m supposed to hate all gear .. isn’t every feature ever just a gimmick? Shouldn’t I only listen to Facebook forums form anonymous and yet still generic accounts? You’re confusing me sir. Nothing makes sense anymore. Up is down. Cats and dogs are living in harmony. What am I even doing?
Nice video….it is always so unfortunate looking at the comments and seeing people so butt hurt over someone’s opinion regarding anything that that doesn’t match their opinion. You chose Nikon and some of the folks in here have pea brain comments that show their own signs of weakness. This was your opinion based off of your use case after using the different cameras. Keep doing what you are doing because I have never noticed any bias in your reviews like i see in so many other UA-camrs which puts you near the top in my book.
Why not? The thing is, you get a lot of cheaper full frame alternatives with cheaper lens selections, but if you use ultra fast lenses, you are good to go. Weddings aren’t very demanding of AF, as long as you don‘t overshoot and try to capture everything what happens in a second and the XT5 is a pretty good video camera as well. I don’t think you will benefit from the Fujifilm major benefits, because from my point of view, you should shoot raw and won’t find really good JPG recipes and the dials aren’t the best option. If I just buy a camera to shoot weddings or portrait, I would buy a cheap LUMIX S5, 50mm F1.8, 28-70 F2.8 and a Godox V1. You can also build this setup with Alpha 7 III or other brands. The reason for LUMIX is, that it’s good enough for wedding (of course not for any type of sport) and you can program up to 10 custom settings - even with the button mapping. So you can preconfigure every situation in camera from indoor, group, outdoor, macro, flash e.g and set buttons, ISO range, silent, min. shutter speed, self-Timer, set the aperture value to F1.8 / 8 which is very handy. If that’s your private camera too and you enjoy using the camera, than Fujifilm is hard to beat. And you can preconfigure a lot of this too. AF is very good, but sometime unreliable and you should consider carefully which lenses to choose. The 27mm F1.2 or 35mm F2 are very fast and accurate, the 16mm F1.4 or 56mm F1.2 are only reliable with slow moving subjects - but it’s hard to get most of the shots in low light.
I use the XT-5 as a companion to my film camera and deliver in the same section of the gallery. Make sure you have multiple batteries and don’t shoot Ch if you want to switch film sims
My wife has the Z8 which I use for my solo stuff, while I second shoot with the Z6II during our weddings. I love both cameras, when the time comes would the Z6III be better for a second shooter or just commit to double Z8s ?
GRRR you have said something that doesn't align with my own beliefs and that makes me angry so rather than better educating myself on other systems I'm going to assume that you've sold out and Nikon is paying you more than Canon. *Insert GIF of Nun from GOT saying shame through the streets* Do better Taylor, do better.
If you get the Sony a7IV, just be sure and get the extended warranty and two camera bodies (seems any paid pro would have a backup body anyway), for if/when the mechanical shutter crashes (sadly, often a lot sooner than it should)… 🙄 Hope they fix that with the a7V. The Nikon z6III does seem like the best choice for weddings at this point (for a reasonable price anyway, otherwise yeah Z8, or a1 II).
Yay Nikon! Still rockin' two Z6ii's along with the Nikon 24-70/ 35/ 50/ 85/105 & Tamron 35-150 (thanks to your recommendation) and I have never been happier with my wedding kit over the past 12 years of shooting :) Debated switching to the Z6iii for the better autofocus but for the time being, I am comfortable using focus points to make sure my subject is sharp. 🤘
I'm honestly a bit skeptical of Taylor's take on the newer Canons. It seems like he's cool pumping up Nikon since he has a history with them and let's be honest, not too many sony hype beasts are considering a switch from Sony to Nikon. But he doesn't seem too keen on talking up the newer stuff Canon puts out (prob trying to keep sony happy). I went from an A7RV to the R5 Mark II and have been blown away. From a complete user experience standpoint it is miles beyond the Sony. The screen and viewfinder experience are much more natural, the ergonomics are on a different planet, SOOC results are incredible (huge time saver). I owned the original R5 and R6 when they first came out and can tell you for absolute certain the new products are significantly better. Lens prices are comparable to Sony as well and have much more character imho. Slightly used R5II's are going for like 3500 now which is just insane. Love love love Nikon also btw can't go wrong there either.
As an R5mkII user I'm like "Can I speak to your manager, sir" I haven't had a lockup yet but hopefully the R1/R5mkII mark a turn for Canon's firmware insanity.
40 seconds in, decided that that was all the enabling i needed to get the a1ii😜 Jokes aside, in terms of image quality, do you have a preference between the a1ii and a7rv?😇thanks for another cool video :)
I’ve used the heck out of my R6 original, mostly adapting EF L glass, and have had ZERO problems so far. Definitely looking forward to what an R6 mark iii brings to the table.
Great call! Nikon is the new King of Kaizen. I could never rely on the Z6ii for AF so I jumped to the A7IV, couldn’t stand the screens so jumped to the A7RV… which having 26mp in Crop Mode gave me essentially 2 cameras in one… and I love it. But, you are correct, the Nikon files are so nice to work with in post (or no post with Jpegs). I would’ve moved to the Z6iii, but I need more MP’s. If the Z7iii has the same form factor, I may have to return to my roots… I’ve shot Nikon the majority of my life (found your channel with the 24-120 lens review), and they have built out a beautiful eco-system (as has Sony). Thanks for the unbiased review Brother!
I have been using nikon first.. then everybody said canon is superb..Then I bought canon...😊😊. Meanwhile everyone started shifting to Sony.. and I bought an a7iv last month... with sigma 85 1.4... But still not convinced with colour renditions from it when compared to Nikon or Canon... Now have all three brands .. Now in the dilemma of which one to sell😢😢😢

Which fuji camera you recommend for weddings?
Omg I can’t believe you said this!!!!!!!! You’ve sold out.
The Nikon DSLR glas used market got so cheap, I see no reason to upgrade at the moment.
@@vanessameddles2240 that’s great it works for you!
Yes
You are thumbnail
Any lock ups or bad stuff from like the R3 canon
I didn’t experience any on the r3
Thoughts on xt5 for weddings?
I didn’t use it for a wedding when I had it, but I believe it’s John Branchs go to camera. He’ll have a lot on his channel about it

1:23 fish eye for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The R6 was terrible ! we had return ours because they kept shutting down and we shoot stills ! and used native lens , fast cards .
My wife has the Z8 which I use for my solo stuff, while I second shoot with the Z6II during our weddings.
I love both cameras, when the time comes would the Z6III be better for a second shooter or just commit to double Z8s ?
One of the best camera comparison videos out there

Do better Taylor, do better.
Loving my Sony A7R V. A workhorse.
@@samcvisuals also a great option! Nice end of year discounts on it as well
I love my Nikon z8. Had a Sony A7IV
And what's your experience of your new z8?
i love my z6iii :D my first mirrorless camera :D
is the course dedicated better for you style - minimum lighting gear (outdoor & indoor)?
Yah, the flash course is pretty minimal for gear. I really don’t use a lot of
@TaylorJacksonPhoto I really like your style! But Here in Israel we have so much sun, and contrast. Can it still be good for me?
The flash course is more for indoor weddings so I wouldn’t say it’s the most applicable sadly
Agree with the Sony screen, but not the viewfinder.
The best camera is the one you can afford 😅
That’s why I took budget into heavy consideration for this video. DSLRs are still great though. And the glass is very very reasonable now
Nope, that's YOUR best one.
Great video.. Thanks for the tips. How is Nikon's auto focus (eye auto focus), has it improved from previous models?
The a7 iv is the first 'affordable' Sony that I feel is ergonomic to use. But I'm from reverse land so what do I know (Nikon)
Upgrading to a7iv ❤
If you get the Sony a7IV, just be sure and get the extended warranty and two camera bodies (seems any paid pro would have a backup body anyway), for if/when the mechanical shutter crashes (sadly, often a lot sooner than it should)… 🙄 Hope they fix that with the a7V.

I’m hopeful it stays this way! I didn’t have any issues the r5 II. Just the r6 II and r6.
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Now that 28-70 F2 needs a diet in 2025.
@@TaylorJacksonPhotomy R6 bodies were mega stable. Never had an issue. R62 bodies frequently lock up when using adapted sigma lenses
@@JoshuaMcTackett Happy they treat you well
Nikon for the win!!!
Lockup king: Fujifilm. Had this with the XH2 and XH2s on a regular basis. No matter what lens or card used. Sold them.
That’s a bummer to hear. I feel like the pre production version I had was the most stable version
40 seconds in, decided that that was all the enabling i needed to get the a1ii😜
Jokes aside, in terms of image quality, do you have a preference between the a1ii and a7rv?😇thanks for another cool video :)
I love the RV sensor. I haven’t spent enough time with the a1 II yet to do a proper comparison though
@TaylorJacksonPhoto thanks!! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts after you've had some time w the new camera :)
I have a Nikon Z5, And I hope next year I'll get the Z6III.
I’ve used the heck out of my R6 original, mostly adapting EF L glass, and have had ZERO problems so far. Definitely looking forward to what an R6 mark iii brings to the table.

Oops I was going to buy the wedding packages but I have a canon so should I not then???? 😬
Gorgeous pictures thanks for sharing I enjoyed it ❤
Subjective as top photographers swear by their own choice of brand
I don’t use Nikon as a main kit
As a hobbyist i love Nikon but the Nikon cameras and lenses are huge compared to Sony and Fuji. I have an A7RIII and I'm always looking to Nikon 😅.
Some people won't use a Samsung, i won't use a Nikon. YES TO SONY!!!! As always, love your content. Great video.
Where does the Nikon dislike stem back to?
What a horrible comparison video. Clearly, it's the Nikon sponsorship speaking, and not actual honesty.
He's not sponsored - you're just for some reason upset and loyal to a brand for some weird reason.
Haha I shoot Sony
🙂👍
