I will wait on this upgrade until Davinci Resolve supports Pro Res RAW! Still an amazing and under rated camera without it though!

[@jamesryan1939]

The z6 keeps getting better, I have been shooting RAW with it for a few weeks the quality is amazing.

[@SMGJohn]

@@grooyam There no such thing as "need" there is only "wants" I am not saying RAW video is bad, in fact its amazing but its kind of clean looking, its not like Magic Lantern which has that organic film look and sweetest highlight roll off I ever seen from a camera.

I get the anamorphic look by using rubbish lenses covered in my smudged up fingerprints.

[@sharpenednoodles]

Can't get over how good the RAW anamorphic footage looks!!

[@greenmedic88]

Maybe someone in the comments can answer this one: what was the point of the CFX firmware update and using CFX cards if RAW recording is only capable with an external recorder writing to SSD? And then maybe someone can answer why is Kai using Nikon anyway? Did anyone actually switch to a Z6 for video production because of the RAW upgrade as the cheapest(?) solution for shooting in RAW?

[@markshirley01]

He owns a Z6 personally.

[@flickrchannyuk4396]

Hi Kai, love the BBC (Brit Born Chinese) reference, awesome my friend :-)

[@nielsm.2147]

Got the feeling that this channel is more about filmmaking than photography nowadays. For me being a photographer..that's a bummer. Even though your content is superb!

[@timmyssweet]

... Nikon camera PLUS the Atoms recorder equals RAW. Why have we become accustom to external raw recording? I think that it defeats the purpose of a compact camera, a lot. ... cracking review thought, as always.

[@TaipeiGeek]

Imagine the processing power and the cooling capabilities these small mirrorless cameras would need to record 4K RAW internally. I'm sure someone will figure it out, but I doubt that it won't come with any downsides.

[@TheJudge064]

@@TaipeiGeek it's already been done on the sigma fp, with like you said significant downsides.

[@wabbit688]

Its because of the ProRes Raw licensing. The licensing fee of in body RAW video recording is high Thanks to RED patents. Adding that in the camera would add up the cost significantly

[@danielvilliers612]

WOW 1 year ago a camera like this would cost you about 40 K and today people are complaining that it is too big. I mean it is smaller than the typical dslr and a Flash on it.

[@TheJudge064]

@@danielvilliers612 what? We had the bmpcc from 2018 which was actually a bit cheaper. Sure it's an innovative camera that brings raw to a camera that can shoot photos well too, this being one of the greatest hybrids, but what you're saying is just false.

[@jamesdecross1035]

So, I have a question. Does anyone make camcorders, anymore? Something about the ergonomics of using a DSLR for video looks to be truly cumbersome.

[@brucegarethgeorge]

Yeah there some. Panasonic, Sony, Canon etc all make them

[@YakAlmighty]

Yeah I recently bought a used FS5 for that reason, couldn't be more happy with it

[@kidthorazine]

Yeah there are plenty out there on the market. Or you can get a cage with grips.

[@typoded]

yea but for some reason they're designed with a hyperzoom lens in mind so they all have tiny sensors and shitty image quality. i can't imagine who buys these things other than broadcast television channels

[@julienbrable3045]

@@typoded If you're talking about broadcast cameras yes : they surely have pretty damn little sensors (1/3 or 2/3 inch) but there still are C200, C500, panasonic EVA, Sony FS5, FS7 with S35 or FF sensors. You should definitly check them

[@KAREKINFPV]

I honestly wish Nikon would stop fooling around with this HDMI raw output crap and get to business by releasing a CinemaNEF! Imagine NEF adjustments but on video. Mind Blown! They are making steps in the right direction though.

[@ectoproductions]

That Z50 looks REALLY good!! Way better than any Canon equivalent!

[@tidave1984]

You did not make any anamorphic video in this test. The sirui 50mm lens is made for crop sensors. You have to put your video camera in crop mode. Then stretch your image from 1.33x to anamorphic.

[@Simoneister]

Anamorphic doesn't necessarily mean widescreen, it just means the recording is distorted along one axis. While yeah, traditionally anamorphic lenses have been used to film widescreen content on standard-sized film/sensors, some people want to use anamorphic lenses for the glare and blur effects. And this lens seemingly covers that purpose well for 16:9 full-frame content.

[@generalben]

How does using raw output affect the battery compared to N-Log? I found I went through three camera batteries and three atomos in a day's shoot.

[@chumleyk]

Seriously? All this faff when you could get the Sigma FP if you don't already have one of these Nikons. This Nikon 'solution' is a bit 'bolted on' and half assed.= and should be FREE. Don't be a sucker.

[@thebrowncrew]

I was so disappointed in the camera. The the files are not for professionals. The production artists I worked with said the files don't mark the cut.

[@Samtestetde]

What setting did you use. Unfortunately, I don't have the 12-bit activation. Which would you recommend for 8 bit log? Have a Z6 II and a Ninja V there also the 99 dollar package. Which file format would be best? 10 bit goes only with the update or?

[@stuCameraman1]

It's a dam shame! I had the nikon d90 and thought Nikons going to grab a big chunk of the market with DSLR VIDEO? But they didn't. £200 upgrade for raw? Isn't raw a natural process anyway for a camera....straight off the senor data? It just feels a little cheeky. And you need to grab yourself a Big.....Gold.....solid....Schneider Kreuznach vintage Anamorphic lens....the filmic texture will blow your socks off. BSC expo next week?

[@IAMDIMITRI]

If hat guy had problems with colors and you had problems with exposure. I'm guess the debayering was wrong for the camera.

[@KAREKINFPV]

I have a z6 and love it, but in my experiance no DSLR has a true "RAW" hdmi output. The "RAW" adjustments don't look anything near as good as a true raw like CinemaDNG or Redraw. The highlights are always greyed out. When you bring them down to a nice exposure the blacks get crushed. They're not even as good as a B-raw files. The Atomos Nikon setup is also a big pain in the ass workflow wise. It's hard to switch rigs or go from Glidcam to Gimbal to shoulder rig to tripod. Also I honestly hate the atomos interface.

[@Jwills3]

Every time I see a wonderful vlog like this, (thanks Kai), I feel a bit stupid for my buying decision I was Oh So Careful about when I bought my Canon EOS 70D. It's HDMI out puts out video with a brown border added around it. A bit crap, that.

When I am in the field, I agree. When I get back to the computer, I enjoy pixel peeping to see all the details in the images that I didn't notice when I took the photo.

Hi, we are buy Anamorphic lens for Nikon Z?

[@TheGeoDaddy]

Just got mine back from Nikon (free if bought the Filmmaker’s Kit back in February) and shooting my first ProRes RAW... From what I hear, 1 min = 3GB so not much compression... and FCPX doesn’t support it yet... you have to manually set the 202 and wide gamma... But this IS the “game changer” promised!

[@fredocorleone6043]

Way to learn how to use the product before hitting the record button.

[@Razor2048]

Why would anamorphic cause the loss of waveforms and peaking? I have never recorded in it before but I have edited such footage, and waveforms are still very workable, Peaking should also still work.

[@shlawchablaas]

I bought a Z6, it's my favorite image quality I've seen out of a digital camera. Extremely clean at high ISO, beautiful focusing experience with adapted manual lenses, IBIS works a treat. The only trouble was with non-Art Sigma F mount lenses and the FTZ-but with Z glass or recent Nikon F lenses, 9/10 strongly recommended.

[@Vikingdescendent]

You're describing my Fuji X T3.

[@ellarpc]

Vikingdescendent IBIS on the X-T3?

[@akschu1]

Which lens is it? I don't see a Sirui anamorphic for Z or F mount. Is this an adapted E-mount lens?

[@truthkeeperfilms]

No wonder the Z6 is selling out.. its a phenomenal camera for stills AND a SUPERB video camera. Nothing Sony has can match, neither Canon.

[@katlehoseisa213]

that rolling shutter though! Seen worse from better cine manufactures, would like to see a more in depth review with this cam. REALLY GREAT VIDEO! Thanks Kai!

[@ronineditor9920]

Does anyone know if there's an adapter to get the MFT version onto a regular Nikon F mount? Or a Canon EF? I want to get some of these for either a RED with a Nikon mount or a BMPCC6K with the EF mount.

[@mikeykramer5083]

How did you mount the Sirui?

[@GreenTekHaus]

Yes, please tell, because I see no mount for Nikon F or Z...

[@dustin3631]

Due to the Z's huge mount and small flange distance you can adapt nearly every lens mount out there.

[@GreenTekHaus]

@@dustin3631 are you saying to DIY and make it ourselves? 🤣

[@jdingers]

Apple's new product 3:00 the iDildo

[@Raevenswood]

one question I have that maybe someone here can answer for me is in regard to the Sirui 1.33x anamorphic … they are APSC DX so if the camera was in DX mode to film wouldn’t it take care of the vignetting that was shown in this video when cropping to 16:9 is mentioned? Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to film in DX so you can get the true anamorphic aspect ratio? EDIT: I realize why now … by shooting in full frame you can “squeeze” a little extra squeeze factor out of it since this lens covers a larger area than APSC.

[@youbecha64]

ha ha ha, $1000 camera, $200 software upgrade PLUS $3000 in lens and Atomos.

[@SilvergamerTranto]

Can you maybe to a comparison to internal recording? Because for me it's not just the update but the Ninja also, I don't want to pay almost 800€ if the difference is minimal ^^

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]
