Hello Sir.. Your gallery is stunning.. Can you please do a camera configuration for Z5?
@ThePhotographyHobbyist Күн бұрын
Hello and thank you! I appreciate the compliment. I don't have the Z50 anymore (I have a Z8 and Zf) and I normally don't do camera settings videos, BUT I did do a few in the past for the Nikon Z50. The Z50 has fewer menus than the Z50 so maybe some of the things I show/mention in the Z50 video aren't exactly duplicated on the Z5, but they usually are, The Nikon menus on their Mirrorless cameras are nearly the same, but some of the more expensive models simply have more features available to configure. I think the Z50 videos show most of what I would have set in the Z5. Let me know if this is helpful. You can also use the contact link on my website if you have other more specific questions: www.thephotographyhobbyist.com/ Here are the Z50 settings videos I mentioned: Photo settings - kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJPGo5qfmJaUaMU Video Settings - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3zQZqGCfthlebs And a video that talks about my typical editing in Adobe Lightroom - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4unoZ6aZqihis0

Thanks for making this video. I’ve owned the Zf since last year and I love the camera. The ergonomics are the worst part of the camera making a handgrip absolutely necessary. I have every handgrip available for the Zf inclusive of a 3D printed one I purchased from Etsy. I would rank them as follows: #1 - Neewer for overall functionality, aesthetics, and the Arca-Swiss glides #2 - Fotodix for aesthetics because the handle is made from high quality wood has Arca-Swiss glides #3 - SmallRig for ergonomics if you like the sticky feeling of the grip, I didn’t #4 - Nikon’s official handgrip is the worst of the bunch. You can only find it on eBay because it’s only sold in Japan. It’s the worst ergonomically of all the offerings available. #5 - 3D Printed Handgrips are a crap shoot. I’ve found those made on Etsy to be unreliable because they never have the measurements right and they’re expensive. I hope this helps provide additional context on which handgrips are out there other than the Neewer and SmallRig.

I moved from Fuji xt5, xs20 to Nikon ZF and Z30. Could not be happier. For me, the xt5 needed a small ring grip to give a solid hold. But the Nikon blows the XT5 away in terms of focus, low light, and build quality. After 6 months, I had to send in my XT5 in for a full replacement of the board- the controls for shutter speed and ISO stopped working. Regarding the grip for XF I have both of these and like the small rig a little better at this point.

I have 3 batteries, all with a lot of life still left in them, so that is not the issue. This is a 2-year-old camera, my X-T2/3 have had no issues nor my X-PRO 3 in all the years since I have been a Fuji shooter, the ‘5’ is the first ‘dud’.

I think the only thing people are 'complaining' about with the Z6 III is a drop in Dynamic Range (base, up to ISO 800) compared to Z6 II and Zf, but it's not a huge loss (about 1 stop I think). Just depends on what you need/want and how much someone 'needs' to beat their files to death in editing.
