15:20 - I commented a year ago to not get scammed by Nikon. Video is an after thought on Nikon, same for all other systems except Panasonic. I know you were drawn in for the wildlife telephoto options but it's not going to be as good as you hoped. Maybe I'm wrong but I doubt it. I hope this donation will help you recover a little from this mistake. You should have stuck to your Sony 200-600. Master rapid S-LOG exposure, HDR Wheels tone mapping in Resolve, etc. Oh well, I tried lol.

[@SMGJohn]

He is gonna be on life support after the Nikon vampire has been sucking his soul dry of dreams and hopes.

[@BackusCreativeImaging]

​​@@SMGJohn I know he wants to be happy with it but I'm not positive after that horrendously shakey red wing blackbird footage at 24fps with whatever other Nikon camera he was using. You shouldn't have to do slow motion non stop to avoid camera shake. It means the camera system sucks for handheld video if telephoto shots can't be stabilized reasonably well at a normal real time playback without anything more than IBIS.

[@BackusCreativeImaging]

​​​@@SMGJohn Bro he probably still has the Panasonic 200mm f/2.8 MFT lens hanging around. Yes, manual focus isn't linear with the teleconverters but with the 1.4x that's 560mm equivalent with f/8.0 equivalent toneh (with f/4.0 exposure) which is only like 2/3rd stops less toneh ability than this over priced Nikon prime. A difference yes but he could have saved some money and got a GH7. Or go all out and try the Olympus 150-400. I'm sure the Nikon lens itself is good but the camera system is gonna irritate him so much.

[@SMGJohn]

@@BackusCreativeImaging The GH7 would be great, although I do agree that no PDAF C-AF in anything more than 1080p 150fps is a huge bummer. The Olympus 300mm lens actually works really well on the G9M2 I have despite no sync stab, the IBIS in the G9M2 actually lets me handhold the darn thing, same cannot be said about any other camera system, specially the Sony he has is far shakier then what I can do with the Oly prime telephoto. And the Olympus 150-400mm F4.5 is, its a lens I covet a lot, my God, nothing like it exist. 300 to 800mm constant aperture? And gorgeous Olympus optics? People sleep on Olympus they have 3D pop to Kingdom comes with their primes, specially the 75mm F1.8

[@BackusCreativeImaging]

​​ @SMGJohn I've been manually focusing for 10 years, so the lack of PDAF at the higher frame rates isn't a big deal for me (although it will be nice when they get that sorted out on future models). Unless a critter moves really fast, I can manually focus quickly and rarely miss. But I agree with you that it's not ideal. I own the 200mm f/.8. I'm glad to know the 300mm f/4.0 stabilizes nicely on the G9 II. The Olympus 150-400 should in theory stabilize quite well with just IBIS only on the GH6, G9II and GH7. It'll probably be better than Sony's Active SteadyShot EIS on the A7SIII. My only issue is the 150-400 doesn't have a manual focus clutch, and Linear Focusing in the menu on Panasonic is only compatible with Panasonic lenses (I think). So I'd be stuck with non linear manual focus. That's the only thing keeping me on the fence with the 150-400. Aside from that, it's among the best wildlife lenses. I might try it out someday anyway!

[@SummersSnaps]

I for one am glad for videos like this. We all get caught up in spec wars and miss the real criticisms of gear which is the practicality aspects, which arguably can be more important to the results and enjoyment factor.

I have changed systems and have handled enough through my life. So far this is how I rate ergonomics: 1. Olympus 2. Panasonic 3. Nikon 4. Fuji but they have so many different bodies it's hard to say without listing them. 5. Sony 6. Canon It's funny how smaller companies always have better controls. As if they compensate for the lack of IQ, sensor size, AF speed etc.

[@quintecent8903]

Sony A7RV is quite ergonomic and A9III is really excellent.

[@Mentos18]

@@quintecent8903 I do believe they are now a bit more, but just before these models they were so bad, that I could not use it for a prolonged time. I have small hands, but even with them the grip vs 24-70mm f2.8 was unusable - would get indentations on my fingers. Anyway, this is subjecting, because might be bad for one and perfect for another

[@Jviotr]

Christopher Frost’s review is pretty fair. I don’t think he’s particularly for/against Nikon. 100% agree with the mode dial gripe. I prefer the Z5 with the non-locking dial on the right side. I can do everything with one hand holding the camera, and I have never accidentally flipped the mode dial without a lock. Very handy for switching between stills and video as I prefer manual mode for video, aperture priority for stills.

[@chicagolionsyouthrugby8083]

"I'm a slim fingered bitch" 😂😂

[@skyrunr]

When I had a Z50 and Z7II, it was harder to go back to the Z7II after having all of the controls, including playback (like EVERY other camera on the planet, including most point and shoots) on the bottom right. The Z6III having it on the right instead of the left is annoying, but manageable. Just let us remap whatever button we want to. It is nicer when they match the picture, but they could design buttons or stickers to address that. ;)

[@lilnape2604]

Nikon is killing it. Z9 > A1, R3. Z8 > A7R5, R5. Z6iii > A74, R6ii, A7S3. Canon’s turn next. We’ll see what they bring to the table.

[@quintecent8903]

Z8 only > A7RV in videospecs and high fps + readout & media (cfexpress type A isnt really cool tbh) In terms of pure picture quality, screen/viewfinder resolution, autofocus, dynamic range, battery life, stabe, lens selection, weight and menus the A7RV is better. Overall I think its a tie.

[@lilnape2604]

@@quintecent8903 yeah, that’s fair. I think it’s close but to me I’d take a z8. For these reasons…z8 has better autofocus for me (a7r5 falls apart with fast movement continuous tracking in my experience), I’ll take the EVF that doesn’t have blackout and doesn’t change resolution whenever af is activated. video will be a long list of advantages for Z8 we aren’t going there and I’ll allow it to be reduced to one bullet point… other Z8 advantages that are meaningful is top oled screen/ illuminated buttons (both useful at night), better color (imo), pre buffer, auto capture. The stacked sensor is the biggest differentiation. A75R is a slow, high resolution camera that excels in a a lot of areas but not everything (sports, wildlife, video). Z8 excels in quite literally everything. Half of the other stuff is debatable - picture quality (I’ll take Nikon colors, resolution advantage is obviously A7R5 as well as dynamic range by a tad ), stabe (put a long lens on and compare), weight (Sony cameras still give my hands craps, fingers rub because they are too small), menus, you like what you’re used to.

[@lilnape2604]

I made a reply but KZbin deleted it for some reason. In short, I think you could include other Z8 advantages. And some of those stated A7R5 advantages are subjective and can be broken down more ie EVF - specs only tell half the story give me the one that has no blackout :) The main differentiator to me is sensor… which allows the Z8 to excel at everything. A7r5 sensor limits it in a few genres. That sensor limitation is reason I have found the A7R5 does NOT have better autofocus. The A7R5 falls behind by a noticeable amount with autofocus when things start moving fast. Both are great cameras. And I think it’s close

[@keensoundguy6637]

The Z30 has fixed, large lugs with an oblong opening, while the rest of the Z series is like your Z6III. I assume you can remove the jangly piece leaving a small lug with a circular hole which would be more suitable for a system like the Peak Design straps, so it shouldn't really be a complaint, except maybe they could have put the jangly pieces in a plastic bag so that you don't have to be burdened with the task of detaching them from the camera.

[@stripes_in_raw]

If you use the lens with the lens foot upwards, remember to turn off manual focus in autofocus mode, that would be "a15" setting in the focus settings menu. And also pull the strap buckles up while inserting the cards.

I am looking forward to Sony having a better format than s-log 3. Honestly, I LOVE S-Log 3 for certain scenarios, like shooting in broad day light. I often shoots groups of people under the shade of trees with the background fully lit by the sun and it really saves the shots from looking like utter crap. That said, in hectic shoots I sometimes forget to turn off s-log for situations where it's really destructive. In any low-contrast scenario it ruins the auto-focus and in high ISO situations it introduces a LOT of noise. So, I vote for RAW or some other Sony format that can't be called RAW for legal reasons but is better than S-Log 3 for the next A7V and A7sIV.

[@Cotictimmy]

Custom Controls Kasey, start there and if you have trouble search it for other nature shooters/video shooters suggestion. Back button focus is also highly recommended. I would gladly walk you through it but sold my Z6 over a year ago, so it's a blur of half memories.

[@cameraconspiracies]

There is no custom control that will change from 6k 60p to 4k 120p and HD 240p instantly like the mode dial does.

[@filmstudiojapanDOTcom]

@@cameraconspiraciesYou can map it to your I-menu. On the Z50 and Z6 it is one press, and 4K24p and 1080 120p are next to each other so it's just 1)Press I-Menu and 2) either use the back dial or d-pad to get to the each mode. I think the back dial is what you're used to right? As for more wild life settings, though they do cater to photographers more, check out Hudson Henry, and Steve Perry as they have some of the most extensive Nikon custom settings walk throughs with many real world hacks that help allot when shooting birds. If the mentioned I-menu method doesn't work let me know. I have a fellow wild life shooter friend who is much more Nikon Savy that I can ask.

[@filmstudiojapanDOTcom]

@@cameraconspiracies my reply vanished.. but this is more simplified. You can either go to Controls or Movie and then Customize I-menu. Map "QUAL" to one of the boxes. Then you simply press the i-menu button (it remembers last position) and scroll with the rear dial or d-pad to get to the frame rate/quality you want. Since I am working with a Z50 it's just 4K24 and HD120 right next to eachother, so I imagine you have to scroll a few more, but it's pretty fast using the rear dial. I almost seem to remember a way to limit available video modes, but don't quote me on that. I highly recommend Hudson Henry and Steve Perry for wild life customization hacks. They are both very experienced, and though their focus is photography, allot of it will apply to what you're doing. BTW, I appreciated your reaction when you finally got the lens out of it's box. Nikon lenses are a bit special.

[@cameraconspiracies]

@@filmstudiojapanDOTcom Thank you, but that's not going to work for 2 reasons. It's 10 framerates between 6k 60p and 4k 120p. And HD 240p requires that you exit out of N-Raw as well. I don't think there's any getting around this terrible left mode dial lol.

I still prefer using my D850. When I use my Z6ii with the automated autofocus modes I feel like I have to take way more photos just to get the same amount of keepers. (Especially if you're more than 15 feet away from your subjects) I do get lots of photos. Stick with the D5 for now, if you really want the Z6 line just wait like 6 months when the price drops like $500 and get the iii. When I know I have to get the shot right the first time the Z6ii is staying home, the D850 or my D3s is coming with me. They both rarely miss.

@@bailey.nt86 thanks for the advice. I am a spot and joystick autofocusser - would be nice to have decent face tracking though, but if the spot C-AF matches D5 then I'll be ok - plus more AF points, IBIS and silent shutter bonuses. I've got to rule out the Z6iii because of the DR and ISO problems Photons to Photos found - I need that low light performance from my FF camera. Z8 would be ideal but it's files are big and it's a bit pricey .

Fun, flaw-filled episode... Have a rockin' day!

[@thissidetowardscreen4553]

Kasey, I thought you would have shown the box more and read all the writing on the side. followed by your thoughts and feeling about the construction of the box. As you opened the box, you needed to flip through the paper materials and read them extensively. It makes tensions as we anticipate the camera, Then you pause before taking the camera out and tell a story about the future excitement said camera will bring. Hopefully, we get a more complete opening box video, but very good video, thanks for sharing your absolutely positive experience!

How does the grip rate compared to the best camera grip on the market... the GH6?

[@Vahagraphy]

Congrats bro.

[@jakesdewet3567]

Amazing that the real photographers, unbox, load the batteries, insert the cards with out getting an orgasmic feeling about the card door or card slot, get out and shoot pictures and show their pictures, the reason they bough the gear, no, today 99% of KZbinrs make their money from unboxing equipment, talk crap, give opinions and direct traffic to their affiliated links, show no results and rather wear a hear piece. The new world of camera industry, not photography, in the world of art we discuss art, not the paintbrush.

"my knuckles are dragging." Yeah they are.

For some good minutes of the video, I was worried that Nikon directly have sent this camera for you to review it. But then I understood that you bought it with your own money, so sighed in relief.

[@BikeStuffPDX]

I know that some people like it, but I find the small LCD screen useless. I had it on the Sony A99 and A99ii and used it maybe two times. That information is already available elsewhere anyhow and I look through the EVF most of the time anyhow. It seems to me like something left from a bygone era of film shooting. Can't see it if your camera is high on a tripod, can't see it if you're handholding a camera. Seriously! The main downside of having that screen is that it forces the manufacturers to place some of the dials and/or buttons on the left side, which I agree is just the worst. The left side should have no buttons or perhaps a custom button or two for functions that are important but aren't used frequently. Even so, I'd rather just use a quick menu.

[@iamionscat9035]

Yes! You did state the camera in video yesterday. You're awesome Kasey!

[@AANasseh]

I so understand his pain. What a dumb thing these camera companies do! The toggle switch is the best way to deal with this.

[@maneshmalla588]

guess those menu jump from 1 to next rather than page hop; why can't you use touch screen to skip past pages?

[@richardallan2331]

What do you think of the buttons on the front of the camera by the lens mount? I can’t think of a worse place to put them. I hate that.

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

Have to put myself in the right frame of mind where I need to take each comment with a grain of salt. Not a camera I plan to buy since I want more than 24 Mpixels. Liked the Z9 and Nikkor lenses I bought and kept for a year but decided it was too heavy and there was no Z8 yet or this version of the Z6III. Currently shooting with several Sony bodies like the A1 and A7RV and compact C bodies for travel and an EOS R5. Guess I will wait and see what the R5 II brings. Thank you and take care.

[@زهيرسلمان]

Do you recommend Sony?

[@stevenwaldstein2249]

@@زهيرسلمان Sony definitely has strengths I appreciate which why I’ve stayed with them. Canon, Nikon, and Fuji do too but even though I do own a APS-C body I’m committed to full frame. As I said I also like my Canon system and their L lenses but I think you won’t find low cost High Quality lenses in Canon these days ( just my personal opinion).

[@ngonzale3]

Why didn’t you rent?

Can't you adapt that prime to your Sony?

best z6 III review. we need some different voices

It looks like no shooting menu banks in it? 😮

[@cameraconspiracies]

No banks.

[@sorwerk]

It's great for professional video, it will save on one of the cards

[@WANTED91x]

I'm shook that the Z6 doesn't come with a charger anymore. I got one with all of my Nikon cameras and i think it's absolutely necessary if you have to charge more then one battery...stupid idea Nikon! I always put a long arca swiss plate on all of my lenses. Then they are easy to carry an you can attach some stuff on top of it. 🙂
