My simple answer to that is, you can use manual mode in any camera. But the joy of being able to track and subject when it’s doing the cutest thing ever out in nature… nothing can put a value on that

perfect confusion: there is no A7SIV in this world as of 18/7/2024

What lenses do you own

What should it be compared to from Sony?

@@FramesTM Currently not any model at the moment. Maybe wait for the new one.

@XDR2201 NO! At this point people deciding between the two should know what they provide. When Sony launches a new one, I will surely review that

That's a long way 🤣

Cf express card is more robust than 2 sd cards on the same camera…

The a7IV is no longer a contender in the price bracket. It is way behind the competition. The canon r1, nikon z6iii and lumix s5iix are way better for the price.

Haha

@@peterra2532 cf express overheats and fails like all cards. if you do pro video shooting and trust a single slot camera good luck.

😆

I am shooting with the same camera. The Nikon Z8. The lighting changes in the background that’s all

You get the dynamic range you get no matter how you use it

True. If I want the Z6III, I would just wait for the big discount that Nikon offers sometimes.

Strange indeed

And Nikon Just caught up to Sony’s 2018 release Sony a7iii in autofocus 😂. Nikon fanboys hate Facts so sad. 😅

Concerning dynamic range in video, the a7iv is the best of sony mirrorless camera, better than the a7siii, the new a7rv and the new a9iii…so this is not a « problem » to compare it with the z6iii Concerning photo’s dynamic range, same…I don’t think that the a7v will have more DR than a7iv You will never see internal raw on the a7v…so the z6iii will have the advantage for that In video, I don’t think that the a7v will offer something revolutionary, compared to the a7iv, perhaps 4k60 without crop but no more AF yes maybe we will need to wait the new a7v…but I don’t think that the difference will be significant

@@peterra2532 you don’t “think” you are going off your feelings. Not Facts. But it’s okay you can be a Nikon shooter it’s okay no problem. Just know Canon Sony and Panasonic have better autofocus dynamic range and value over Nikon cameras. But you can choose which ever just know those are far superior leading the camera industry atm.

@@alphaandomega2709 Currently I own a z8 and a lumix s5iix...in the past I have worked with the a7iv, a7siii, fuji xh2s and the r6mkii. In photos, the z6iii actually has less good DR than Sony, Lumix and Canon. In video it's different, the canon is limited with the c-log 3, the n-log is better, then above you have the s-log 3 and especially the v-log (the best)…but thanks to the n -raw Nikon takes the advantage, the quality of your images will be better than the competition which only offers 10bits. For AF, the z8 is similar to Sony and Canon, the lumix s5iix and especially the xh2s seem inferior to me.

@alphaandomega2709: I think Nikon creators and way more skilled than the Sony canon Lumix creators like you. They never had to change and they make money despite their inferior gear.

Nikon is on a strong ground. They don’t need my bias. Anyone bashing Nikon aren’t taken seriously anymore. So the role of a ‘Nikon defender’ is invalid now. I would definitely highlight things that Nikon do right because they do so much right. But the tone, if you notice has changed and will continue to do so

Welcome to the channel!

I always feel Sony autofocus is better when I am not testing it. Our perceptions played games with us. The reality is often different. The Z8 has been shown to do better af in birding than A1. So!

A6700 has AI autofocus that A7r5 and A93 have. A7iv doesn’t.

I agree. I have both the Z8 and A7iv. It's because the Samyang lens is far inferior to native Sony lenses.

@@TyLaiMD what

@@livejames9374 He is using the samyang lens on the A7iv, which is a 3rd party lens and not as accurate as a sony lens would be.

What you have gone for is an excellent set up though!

What the title says friend. That camera. There is no A7SIV yet

​​@@FramesTM he's talking about 0:08 honest mistake 2:43

Thank you!!

What about it

100%. The Z6iii is many leagues ahead. Megapixel is the only advantage on the D850. If you don’t need to crop more than 50% of the times then sell it and get the Z

Buy the Z8 to replace the D850, otherwise you may regret!

Resolution of D850 (45MP) compared to Z 6iii (24.5mp) were not as dramatically different as it seems, if both had an OLPF. But the Z 6iii has one and the D850 has not. If both were the same then doubling resolution (think in PPI) means doubling a sensor of X*Y=MP becomes 2X*2Y=4MP. However the OLPF - introduced to help software in deBayerisation of the raw image - takes a lot of sharpness away that is not a problem at 24MP but 36MP and higher gets in the way. Compare in DxOMark Nikon's D800 (with OLPF) to the D800E (Eliminated OLPF) by having the sharpest F-mount lens on both. You'll be shocked to see the difference. Next compare a D750 or so to the D800 and you'll see that the impact of more MP on sharpness is less. Same applies between D800E and D850. The difference between a full frame 24MP with OLPF though and a 45MP without OLPF is huge. If you only shoot video that doesn't need the extra MP the Z 6iii is fine. If you frequently print very large where people can walk up to your prints, buy the Z 8. I migrated from a 24MP D camera to the Z 7 when firmware was at 2.0 to get rid of the OLPF that had caused me some color cast in stronger backlit scenes, and to get rid of 45 years of chromatic aberration with pro F mount lenses. Also tint differences are gone between "S" class Z lenses. Buy a Z 8 with FTZ as migration strategy and replace lenses one by one.

No. It doesn’t have that much in my case. What format you shooting in?

Hey thanks man

Nothing to explain. It’s all good

Of course

Well, for day to day normal video shooting the light 8bit video file is more than good enough with beautiful Nikon colours

Right

Thank you PD

🙏

Ok

Well time for the Z5II has come

Poor autofocus? Anyway have fun

@@FramesTM when compared to Canon, Sony and now Panasonic. Have a nice day 😄

Yes you’re right I did that wrong 👀

@@FramesTM I did not want to be rude :( If I would have been aware of how to send a Personal Message (so as not to criticize You) I would have said that to You that way.. ThankYou for an important and informative Video :) :) :)

No worries John! People are incredibly rude and then there are gentle hearts like you! 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you John!

85mm f1.2 is better lens.

58mm f0.95 is the best lens in whole z collection

Thank you so much!

Brilliant lens really

@@FramesTM tysm sir.

Thank you but how? The canon lens was just out of the box. But Nikon is 2.5 years old. The canon will become loose and more dust will go inside. And it’s lighter for a reason. The Nikon bodies feel like metal chunks. Canon? Really light fibre ones

Thank you!

Just kept the af on to 3d and allow the camera to detect the subject with wide area. If I see that it’s not picking the bird up, I would change the area to a small wide rectangle. That’s all

@@FramesTM do you use any back button focus setup or other custom buttons? On my R5 I have one back button set to bird eye AF and the other set to spot focus in case eye-AF doesn't find the bird. I'm hoping there is a similar effective setup for the ZF.

@bladerealm124 it’s really a budget camera compared to the R5. One thing Nikon keeps for the high end cameras is the subject detect over ride function. So that’s not there in Zf. I used 3D tracking on back button focus and it works flawless

If you want flexibility of shooting in picture profile and not ONLY in log, then the Zf is better. Both are good but Zf is more flexible.

Ya quite a lot actually

@victorlim5077 nikon rumor had a chart comparison of each camera and R6ii was just as fast as Nikon Z6iii. I wonder if the test was not done properly.

@@mlai2546 Gerald Undone did the readout test and the Z6iii was sub10ms. Very impressive. Most competitors are around the 14-20ms range.

@victorlim5077 the readout for Z6iii is quite impressive. I am just saying Canon R6ii also has a sub 10ms readout. But yet the rolling shutter is clearly much worse than the Z6iii.

@@mlai2546 I rewatched Gerald Undone's video on R6ii. The rolling shutter is 15.9ms unfortunately.

You’re probably right. Will have another look

The Nikon still does better than canon in high ISO and in video. However, I didn’t expect a DR hit.

@@FramesTM Yeah - I guess its a little disappointing but you can't have the speed with no compromise. The truth is that in today's world AI post production noise reduction is so good that it probably doesn't even matter for still if you shoot in RAW. It seems like in every other way, the Z6III is over delivering. -PD

@@FramesTM I bet the R6iii will take a DR hit when it moves to a stacked sensor. Hopefully Stack sensor tech will improve in the future.

I have never heard anything like that. It’s a stiff one.

@@FramesTM I just snagged it on something.
