Great comparison Josh! Honestly, I am most impressed with the Blackmagic out of all these tests haha. Zf is fun, but this also confirms how I felt about it for video. I have much better cameras for that purpose, but man is the Zf such a fun stills camera

Thanks Tyler! Yeah the BM cameras always do well with dynamic range. I agree, the Zf is a fun camera but you could definitely use it for video from time to time.

The blackmagic looks nice...i didn't expect it wouldn't be but I had forgotten how good Blackmagic actually is.

Nice work on this one Josh! I need to get my hands on that Nikon to play around with.

Nikon Zf does a great job, this is a still camera vs 3 CINEMA camera. So no surprise here, great comparison. Like you said this is not a camera to buy if you are looking only for video, but definitely more than usable if you need some video.

I really liked seeing the zf against big hitters like the Komodo and r5c (well also the bm6kff cuz it’s performance in the shadows was a surprise to me!)thanks as always Josh! I’m just a fan of all the systems and more shared today

Cheers, I have enjoyed this series. I bought a ZF as I wanted a lords of the ring camera, 'one camera to rule them all', I'm not a pro anymore and so can't justify lots of different bodies and so I'm doing my family photos on it, my hobby photo's plus running my KZbin Channel on it and for that IQ wise I think its up with the best of them in my niche. I know its not the best but as you say, it does a pretty good job of video.

Got my bmpcc ff today, very happy! I took it at a discount.... I bought it at the very beginning of the promotion and just took it away today. A parcel was sent to my country (Russia) for a long time (thanks to the sanctions, which in fact do not work but add problems), I had to send it through Dubai. We have these companies here that are engaged in such imports. As a result, together with all the consequences, I saved from 50 to 100 thousand rubles approximately. In dollars, this is about 500-1000 bucks. I'm very glad, I'm sitting smelling the smell of new technology ahahaha))

Great review Josh. ZF is definitely impressive! I could see it being a good cruise camera for both stills and motion. 🚢

Which brand of hybrid cameras do you recommend for a hobbyist in a relatively low budget? I think about the R8, Zf, S5II, etc, or the APSC ones like R10, Z50, A6700, XS20, etc. Or some others like that. - The lens situation isn't that important, i can use manual lenses, and for AF I can adapt my old DSLR lenses (I have Nikon and Canon) - The use will be mostly photo, but i want good enough video too - I need video files that are easy enough to edit in a basic laptop (core I5, 12° generation, no dedicated GPU, 32gb ram, short videos) Thanks for all the information you give to us

out of curiosity did you black balance the R5C before the testing?
@Josh_Sattin5 ай бұрын
Yeah I did that for the R5C, Komodo and BM.
@simonc47645 ай бұрын
Blackmagic 6K FF takes it over the Komodo in this test. I thought the Nikon ZF highlight is just a little better than Komodo but is bettered by Canon R5C which is better still by Blackmagic.

KZbinrs are divided over the 422 and 420, some says 422 while others says 420, but glad you confirm for 420.. wish it had 422... Can u do overheating test at 10 bit 420 at highest bitrate as im am looking forward for video work..
@Josh_Sattin5 ай бұрын
All you have to do is read the manual. It's 420 when recording the H.265 10-bit internally but you can get 422 out over HDMI. I hope to get some overheating tests done before my final review. Thanks for watching!

So strange, it looks like z8 is better, i thought stacked sensor will be more limited in DR.
@ThomazMartinez5 ай бұрын
Pls test with Z8/Z9

Unfortunately I don't have a Z8 anymore. It was a loaner.

No slr style camera with twisty display is photo centric... Just useless in pro environment.
