[@Garychamp18]

Great video guys and a great review of the new Nikon. Love these types of videos that ye make. Can’t wait for more👍🏼

[@joshuafarr3144]

So stoked for all the upcoming videos!

[@darrelljohnson7052]

Thanks--- because of this tutorial, I definitely got to go to Ireland! Subsequently I've been watching a lot of landscape tutorials by Thomas Heaton and now I'm falling in love with that particular genre for my photography... wish me luck.

[@ChocolateHabanero22]

I'm subbed to Thomas too! Wow what a coincidence! :)

[@twosheafilms]

Nicely done as always Patrick!! l LOVE the scarf protip!!

[@antoine5944]

Two Shea Films very great video ! Nice view and mood !

[@madsrosenfeldt8573]

How did you get that poor resolution out of the medium format? scanned the print instead of the negative? used a flatbed with focusproblems?

[@jeepjoseph9036]

I am about two minutes in but medium format? It's a d850

[@stiofanmacthomais]

Mother of all that's holy, I won't recover anytime soon from seeing you drive straight through the roundabout at the start of the video. Nonetheless, enjoyed the video and always enjoy seeing my country through other's eyes. Nice job! Happy New Year you guys!

[@FStoppers]

Haha, I still don't know how multi lane roundabouts work. Do you stay in the outer lane only when you are turning off the immediate exit and use the middle lanes when you need to go further than 90 degrees? I seems the easiest way would be to make them all one lane and there isn't the confusion of the two or three lanes.

[@datinbin]

rsa.ie/RSA/Road-Safety/Education/Road-safety-tips/Using-roundabouts/ Same rules all over Europe, invert for driving on the right in France etc.

[@EDHBlvd]

Tom Breathnach they did exactly what your instructional video shows a 0:17. So what is the complaint about.

[@karlblake4596]

@@EDHBlvd they didn't look right

[@ortoapp]

My heart was in my mouth when she ripped through that roundabout looking the wrong way. Cool review though!

[@Immortal__]

absolute idiot driver. should have done her research on how to drive on the other side. easily could have all died at that moment in time.

[@scannan]

enjoyed that…glad you guys had good craic on your visit (and lived to tell the tale after blasting through roundabouts and your mad antics on the edge of the world in county Clare)…hurry back soon

[@WhittyPics]

Awesome review. Thanks for confirming my thinking on how these cameras compare to medium format. How does the image quality compare when you go below the base ISO? Does it get even better or does it degrade like when you go high?

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Great video: informative and funny. Maybe in your next one, you add portraits too? Even after asking that I will add : one of the great parts of this video is that it does not focus on portraits

[@FStoppers]

I tried to get Kirsten to do a portrait but she wasn't feeling it....I did shoot her in the last video we did with the D850 only it has the 70-200 lens.

[@iglyduckling]

At 15:10, what camera did you use to film yourselves? The background was in focus, I hate panasonic AF since they're not that good, looks like you need articulating screen and dual pixel from canon for better self recording vlog footages.

[@Sean-dl8ym]

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at around the 22:00 mark when he's by the cliffs and castle?

[@Diddy291]

Hi! I am thinking to get d850 for wedding video shoot . What lens will be good on budget? I have dx 50mm 1.8G and 70-300mm Nikon. Are they good for video.

[@aaronli6401]

Patrick your face is never focused, it's always the background in focus. This review is fun to watch tho.

[@dtmcreativemoments1395]

I have a doubt sir, Sensor Pixel Area 18.88µm2 only for Nikon d850 Compared to other brand it's low.. Want to know this sensor pixel area affect the image quality? Plz reply

[@aaronjenkin]

Thanks for the video, looking forward to more content from Fstoppers!

[@mohitaphale7712]

I am also interested in the travel bag you carry. Can you tell me which bag is thay?

[@RoseMaiden19]

Random and rather unrelated question, I know, but can anyone tell me the name of the track played in the video beginning at 8:43? TIA!

[@thanosmanolis7783]

Nice vid just one question , the image at 04:48 is taken straight out of the camera or it has been edited?

[@MuhammadFaysal]

please tell me the track in the background which was played at 21:45

[@yeong32]

Hi can you I ask you what brand is the green straps that you have it on your camera? It looks great, I would like to get one for myself. Thanks!

[@FStoppers]

I honestly don't know. I just grabbed an old strap we had sitting in one of our cabinets. I just didn't want to walk around Dublin with a D800 badge on my camera strap but normally I do use the OEM straps. -P

[@seanmolony-redstickastro238]

Thanks for the great video. I just bought my D850 and am trying to learn all that it does. I'm coming off a D750 and I was wondering if you have any videos to help us familiarize ourselves with all that it does and how to set it up. The manual I printed is like 3 inches thick and I suck at reading manuals. Thanks Sean

[@iglyduckling]

Thanks Pat for spending time for a real hand on review, unlike so many other channels, they all stay in studio talking about specs!!!

[@spraypainter48]

I enjoyed taking the trip with you, thank you for posting and information about the Nikon 850 great full frame camera, I have the Nikon 500 which I need to learn more about it, I subscribed to your channel to learn more about Nikon cameras

[@MyJeanf]

Great video I am really enjoying the videos. I have always enjoyed the BTS but in between it was disappointing that there was less content . However your new content is great . Glad to see fStoppers are back in action.

[@gabeaux]

Great video Patrick. Kind of wish you'd gotten a better experience of Galway though, it's a bit nicer before 12am ha ha!

[@FStoppers]

We were there for 3 days I think? It was amazing. We ate at Michelin rated restaurants and enjoyed all the shopping and touristy stuff. We just happened to arrive in Galway the night of some infamous "Christmas Party" the colleges all throw. Basically it's the last night everyone is in town before the holidays and the streets are crazier than normal.

[@gabeaux]

Good to hear! Galway's my home town so I hoped ye got to see a bit more ha ha

[@mrmachine5632]

pronounced Gawlway :)

[@yoyoz333]

when you said "It's no Sony A7"..how would you compare them? what aspect did you like more on the Sony?

[@James-gz6iq]

Very insightful review, great job!

[@antoineveling2650]

Patrick, can you explain Nikon’s new radio flash system please? Can I still use the D850 to fire my 910 flash by IR as a slave if I use my 600 as the master flash on the camera? Just wondering if I have to now change all my Nikon flash units...

[@FStoppers]

I honestly haven't owned a speedlight since the SB800. I went Profoto and continued to use my Nikon speedlights and then bought Yongnuos because they were as good and super cheap.

[@antoineveling2650]

Fstoppers Thanks for following up my question. Cheers.

[@vanessap2814]

what camera you used to shoot this video?

[@kenyonandchris]

What's the depth of field effect on the time lapse footage starting at the 22:51 mark?

[@FStoppers]

I was waiting for someone to notice that. I actually screwed up and missed the focus somehow and so the whole image was soft. So I took one of the still images I had and masked the castle into the 4k slightly out of focus timelapse. It came out pretty cool with a sort of tilt shift lens effect but it's a combo of soft timelapse with a sharp 46mp still photo blended in.

[@Immortal__]

6:35 whats the name of this music?

[@whatathon]

Very entertaining review! Thanks so much!

[@NathanYounghusband]

Fun review! I was in Ireland last year and it was very enjoyable to see your experience :)

[@scruvydom]

That's a poor ass scan of the medium format shot

[@kennethwilliamsinc]

Kudos to your female friend for even bringing out the infamous Contax medium format 👏🏾 Great real world D850 review as well.

[@cuentamedenuevo7399]

I like a lot your video and I watch over and over again. Don´t pay attention to some few pedantic comments below. The video is good but, most important, it is fun and inspirational and it helps a lot those like me who just got the D850 and are still getting used to it. Thanks again for sharing and for the good mood!

[@ADPX24]

I recently upgraded from a Nikon 810 to the 850. Have you heard or experienced that the ISO settings are different. If I were out on a bright day with my 810 I would be at 100 or lower. With the 850 I might be at 200-250 ISO with the same light. Wondered if this is just the way it is or if there is something I am not doing correctly.

[@daniellightfoot4462]

What music did you use starting at 6:27 ? Great video!

[@nineeast8730]

Great review. I'm getting a D850.

[@robhat86]

Great video. I enjoyed the balance of technical real world usage and just having a good time in a beautiful place.

[@heitorpergher]

Such a great review. The best one I have seen in a long time in youtube.

[@michaelglickman]

what strap are you using?

[@rolandrick]

Thanks for this cool and informative review! The zoom at about 8:43, you didn’t use the in body time lapse, but interval shooting and did it in post, did you...? And: Happy New Year 2018 🎉🍾🥂🎈

[@FStoppers]

None of the timelapses here were taking with stills in interval shooting, they were all taken with video only. I hate making timelapses from stills.

[@M31glow]

Great review! Keep it coming

[@willmaister]

Which lens did you use?

[@TerryOwensBansheePA]

Great review in real conditions. Looking forward to the next one.

[@LyleMcCalmont]

I've been using the D810 for a while now and I love it. I've had no plans to upgrade...until I saw this. Thanks for the informative video and I love the bit when you and the girls discover you have a nice suite, I'd be the same.

[@FerCerealz]

I noticed a poor battery performance myself initially. But after doing some manual reading, I realized that the Bluetooth and WiFi functions are on by default. Once I turned off these two features or simply placing the camera on airplane mode, the battery life lasted longer than my D810.

[@galtidea]

Interesting review. I noticed most of the 'selfie' video shots you were totally out of focus. Is that because of a setting, or the camera doesn't work properly?

[@elvinlewis4233]

lol! I really enjoyed this video. Lauren was a delight, and I loved the way you guys interact together. Nice.

[@mohdfirdaus9050]

Great content. Keep it coming!

[@YousufMaimoon]

What camera strap is that ?

[@antonoat]

Nice to see a camera review done by a competent photographer! cheers

[@grahamehorne2137]

I would love to see the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 G2 reviewed on the D850 by you, I am fortunate to recently have acquired this combination and NEED to know if its normal when in VC Mode 1(and only mode 1) for the viewfinder to jump/change composition a split second after acquiring focus, no ones reviews seem to mention this "problem", or perhaps my lens is faulty as the symptom stops after re-focusing a few times but returns if the camera's turned off and back on,,,Help should I return this lens ? PS great review, love your work.

[@FStoppers]

The previous video on our channel has this exact combo. I think it's normal for the VC to show a movement in the view finder in that mode. One of the other modes removes this movement but I think it's a little more power hungry from the battery. It's well documented online though; nothing is wrong.

[@grahamehorne2137]

PS cannot find the specific vid you mention !

[@djiatro]

Beautiful presentation mate! cheers

[@nolaPIC]

great video! why the iPhone is always focusing on the background an not on your face!?

[@thedavidshots]

Sup man for the jitter with the electronic stablisation did you have VR on the lens on at the same time?

[@FStoppers]

I think I did have it on but it wasn't working or not working well. For that test in the library I def turned off the VR on the lens but for the rest of the video I think it was always on

[@thedavidshots]

Fstoppers ok i see because sometimes stabilisation fights each other

[@thedavidshots]

Fstoppers and yes Bluetooth snapbridge whatever better off just not working well

[@CastFromTheHip]

Very well thought-out video, nice job!

[@bmkq2007]

yup i noticed the battery performance is weaker than the D810 and yeah also the focus peaking in 4K is disabled and can't use it and that sucks. But have you tried the AF fine tuning in camera and how good is it ?

[@clivemossmoon3611]

I thought this was a fantastic review. I love the open shutter time lapse. What's the max length of time lapse though? Hours?

[@JohnSansomPhoto]

One of the best reviews of the Nikon D850 I've watched. Plenty of practical and genuine insight. Thanks for sharing.

[@MrExel47]

Nice honest review. Thanks!

[@DarOSull93]

Fantastic video, from Cork myself did you fly directly to cork airport from the US? also the comparison between Galway and NYC was brilliant! Thanks

[@FStoppers]

Yes, Providence to Cork! Super cheap flight and as you can see, we had all the seats to ourselves.

[@Pinero626]

This was a very entertaining review!

[@wenc8796]

Fantastic video! Really enjoyed it!

[@MiBSuM]

Great video! I am not interested in any Nikon whatsoever, but I enjoyed the video very much. The comparison with analog mid format film was a very cool entertaining twist to it! Loved that.

[@johnsmith1474]

You have low standards.

[@MiBSuM]

Is there a standard for entertainment?

[@mbsuwaidi]

What’s the name of the song 1:52 ?

[@IslandFilmMaker]

Really good job putting this together! Nikon is back in the game. Look like a good allrounder for travel in all shooting situations, especially low light :)

[@josephcullen5872]

Hope you enjoyed Ireland guys! Shots look great, really impressed with that low light performance! Little weird how quick the battery cropped out

[@FStoppers]

The battery was half way depleted when I left but I figured even a half used battery would last half the day (they do for weddings at least).

[@petermgruhn]

Wait, did you actually show that shot with the fubar dof?

[@piyus1987]

Hi Patrick, liked the vloggy review.!, in time lapse mode I also had similar doubt until I found that interval = shutter speed + time between two shots. So your interval should always be greater than shutter speed ( I feel at least 1 second more) to avoid any time related gliches and buffer issues.

[@joeyalbergo]

Loved it! Thank you.

[@davewarren7693]

So were you using the Sigma lens with stabilization straight out of the box or modified using the dock? just curious since it is adjustable. Every review I read complains about the stabilization of Sigma lenses, but nobody states whether this is with modified settings or unmodified settings. The one reviewer that did test it in all 3 modes did find he preferred a modified setting. And his settings did match the equivalent Nikkor lens in the lowest shutter speed usable. Good video. Interesting about the battery since Nikon has introduced a new variation of the battery for the D850.

[@FStoppers]

We have not modified it at all with the dock (don't think we even have the dock). I just expect a lens to work out of the box but I understand you can get even better performance from small tweaks. Maybe our copy has an older firmware on it? Just never had this issue with another lens straight out of the box.

[@davewarren7693]

I can't disagree that Sigma should use a better implementation out of the box. But on the other hand, the dock is part of why one would buy a Sigma or Tamron lens. It gives one the ability to tune a lens and update firmware without sending it back to the manufacturer a la Nikon. Plus when the previously mentioned reviewer from my first post tested the Nikon lens he found the VR set to normal was unusable when tracking animals in motion. There was big time lag.

[@HirogaKatageri]

13:22 I thought I was hearing a car alarm outside my house, paused the video to find out that its from your location xD

[@robertfeliciano5723]

I love the recommendations to the engineers, hopefully they listen.

[@Tom-lo5rw]

Great job on this one. I like more of a real world review and to see the camera actually being used as most people would try to use it.

[@yoyoamgamg6179]

Nice review .. short sweet and sharp ...

[@DirectorsGarage]

If you want to shoot long exposure during the day, you need an ND filter. You don't need lower ISO if you bring an ND filter.

[@NealPageNPPHOTO]

Or a whole stack of ND's :) Like this situation- www.viewbug.com/photo/79914404 .. never improved so made the best of it.

[@jeffellis6544]

Yup. I’ve got a 10 stop ND. Let’s me shoot 2-3 min exposure mid day with sunshine...

[@RameshLimbu]

Hello which camera is good for bar or dance party for video ?

[@FStoppers]

I'd say the D850 or the Sony A7sII are some of the best. The Sony is the absolute best for low light but whatever you do, make sure you have a 2.8 aperture lens or better

[@RameshLimbu]

Fstoppers thank you

[@mrmachine5632]

Viewers intending on visiting Ireland need to avoid everything in this video, tourist traps don't even scratch the photo opportunities of the country....or the pubs.

[@TheOnceAndFutureDoug]

I lived in London for three years. Every evening with music I had with my friends had that song somewhere near the end. Every single one. Which is fine, it's a good song and one that if you sing poorly is still good.

[@BenRyanPhoto]

Absolutely loved the video Patrick. Great to see so much of my own country. It would definitely convince me to try a lot more video and time lapse with my own D850. BTW, you pronounced Galway wrong. The “al” part is pronounced like the word “all”... looking forward to the next 30 videos of January. Ben Ryan Photography (Dublin, Ireland).

[@FStoppers]

Yeah I know; I said it both ways on the trip. Kind of like how I still can't produce Dana White's name correctly time to time

[@whisperedstories5505]

Awesome review, just got a D850 and the Tamron 24-70 based on your reviews; keep up the GREAT work you all do! Thank you a thousand times over, having more photography fun than ever. Bring your videos to DetroitMI! #amazingstreetphotography

[@18gokulanath]

Camera strap is Awesome! Can you share me the product link? Thanks, Gokul

[@siranshawphotography6059]

What fun! Cheers Pat!

[@sandiegodavid622]

Patrick....it seemed that the weather got to you.......lol......dude you were in IRELAND!! Have a blast....enjoy the WEATHER...and go back again and again.

[@gollariddhi]

What's the strap on d850?That looks beautiful!

[@Jsfrog]

Eclectic, different, quirky but quite useful video. There are plenty of "straight" or standard review videos, and those are also good, but your content adds value. Thanks.

[@hiddenleaf2taka84]

I wish all camera reviews were like this! Good job

[@danny_fwsc]

how crazy those people are xD awesome! nice review of the D850! greetings from Germany

[@ahsan101]

Which iphone is it?

[@chryseass.5143]

Ha , that song at the bar in Dublin is Noel Gallagher's /Oasis iconic , "Don't Look Back in Anger." They were playing it all over the place in Britain as it became a bit of a theme song after the horrific Manchester bombing at the Ariana Grande concert last May but it has been a staple party song for years. It was lovely to see Ireland even in the rain!

[@aaronbpinto]

Can you share some travel tips with camera gear.. Thanks a tonne..

[@seamuswarren]

The D850 captures flicker-free timelapse direct to the 46mp sensor I suppose like recording video in short intervals. No flicker. I got a feeling this is a battery intensive process? Can you turn off the live view monitor during time lapse capture?

[@FStoppers]

Well for the most part, the LCD screen never lights up so I don't think it's drawing much power in general.

[@seamuswarren]

Fstoppers, Okay, so the LCD is not expending energy displaying black pixels during the intervals between frame capture. Thanks. 🙂

[@eskilvreb861]

Love your content! But waiting for the photographing the world episodes...

[@MayankBadhan]

Awesome video. Thinking about this camera for my tech channel

[@liverpoolpictorial]

Great video. I have a D810, but it's so tempting to go for the D850. Please come to Liverpool to do a review. The folk are the same as the Dubliners, because of our Irish connection, but our architecture is amazing. You'd love it.

[@ultraultraultra]

great review! thank you. anyway, didnt know Marion Cobretti is doing this nowadays. good to know, he is doing` well. happy owner of D700 here, but thinking, maybe in one time in future, i will grab this beauty too.

[@ChristopherSkow]

Good content and a good video. As a new D850 owner I found this informative.
