[@thomastuorto9929]

Really hard! Nikon kind of brought on themselves but they are only micro steps behind at this point. They showed their experience with that large lens flange mount but got the bad rap with their AF early on. Even the Z9 was iffy when first released. Much better now but still a little behind Sony & Cabon. Hopefully their lower price-point will keep them in the game.

So happy the Nikon Z8 is getting some love! Had to get two for my weddings. Definitely want to use it for video as well! When it comes to the menu you can create shortcuts in the "MY MENU" section to all the settings you'd like to go to quickly. Helps me when I'm in a fast paced situation.

No need to apologize for saying it’s a top contender for the one of the best hybrid. Internal raw! 8k 60! Come on. It’s friggin epic. Nikon gang standup!!!

[@DannyBatista]

@@contentm3893I’m not just spewing specs for specs sake. I literally use n-raw in day to day filming and holy hell. The level of detail and range I have with harsh scenarios - Chef’s kiss. It’s a data hog though but in happy to spend money on storage for all this dynamic range. The reason you don’t see much video work from Nikon, is because people believe what you just said and because of potato meme videos… could there be improvements? Hell yeah always.

[@DannyBatista]

@@contentm3893nice! I’m absolutely blown away by the raw capabilities of my z8. Noisy? Sure just like every other hybrid high mp cam. All I know is I’ll never go back to log h264 / h265 recordings and I’m making some of the best footage I’ve ever created. Good day my friend! Keep analyzing those charts and researching those scientific studies!

[@DannyBatista]

​@@contentm3893 From a user point of view who's been shooting n-raw for a year now, who uses it in various situations outdoor and indoor, for portrait work in contrasty scenarios, and studio situations with artificial light lit in the exact way I want, to food and restaurant photography in dimmly lit situations, it's definitely extremely noisy compared to something like a 12mp beast of a video camera like the fx3 or the ~24mp sensor of the z6ii. Compared to my z6ii, exposed properly on both cameras, the z6ii handles noise way better at higher iso (it's less visible to due to smaller noise size). Now, all that aside, I use noise reduction in Davinci religiously and am able to dial in even nasty noise, with incorrectly exposed shots that I may take in the heat of the moment. Since I teach a lot of photography and videography lessons in my private community and many many videographers have exchanged their raw and log footage with me to show them techniques, I've seen A LOT of different cameras' abilities. The z8 is one of the noiser cameras in low light scenarios even at the newly updated lo1 and lo 2 iso options (iso 200 and iso 400) from the new z8 firmware release this month. Dynamic range blows away anything that's just log on any camera footage from all brands I've come into contact with. It's like shooting raw photos on the z8 but at 120fps. So damn good!. Blown out skies? Never... Pulling shadows on skin tones to perfectly correct the light/shadow on a person. Impeccable. The ability to push color without it deteriorating... ubelievable.

I totally agree with you on Nikon cameras. I also own Canon cameras (80D) and I still prefer the Nikon color science better for a better start on the colors getting them clean and vibrant in camera. Jpegs are great out of camera when I don't want to do post, and Raw is easy to work with when I do more post work. I have the Nikon Z5 and new D780 (which has the Z6 sensor inside). I will likely upgrade Z5 with Z6iii when it comes out. Thanks for posting this review. Nikon videos don't get enough love but soon will be, the more people use them to make video.

I recently moved back to Nikon with the Z8 (coming from a R5C and C70 combo) and I absolutely love the IQ and working with the image itself! Found the provided N-Log conversion LUT from Nikon to have a very "video" look to it, punchy contrast and oversaturated colors. I've recently released my own custom N-Log to Rec709 conversion LUT built around the ARRI look, specifically the Alexa 35. Let me know if you'd be interested to try it out!

I have never understood the potato reference to Nikon. I shot Nikon for 18 yrs and switched after my Z6 years, not because of the camera, but because of lack of community of shooters. Not that many people were using the system for video and so not many people creating luts, or cages or the infrastructure that Lumix, Sony and Canon have. I so miss some critical things since switching to Lumix, but not enough yet to switch back. I am glad as a former fanboy that you had a great experience, and beautiful work as well. Well done.

I shot Nikon for five years from 2013-2018. I started as a portrait photographer. I had everything from the d3100 to The D750. My last Nikons were a D5 and the D850. I loved my Nikons. But in 2018 I switched to mirrorless as I was transitioning to video. I shoot corporate video now. At the time Sony had much better autofocus and video capability. I sold my all of my Nikon gear and lost about $5000 in trade in value between all of my full frame lenses and the bodies. By the time Nikon caught up, it was too late, I had switched camera systems and was fully invested in the Sony system. I still have love for Nikon though. Your footage looks good.

6:44 Among all the camera brands, Sony have won the social media battle, providing content creators a few things: light weight cameras, great auto focus, and flip out screen. Sony started earlier than the other their mirrorless journey and didn’t have a DSLR line of camera to protect. All of that gave them some advantages compared to the other brands which then had to play catch. Sony have a lot of fanboys on KZbins at a point that it’s rare that videos about other brands makes the 100k views. KZbin being a search engine and a social media platform will automatically prioritise contents which engage people’s. And unfortunately Sony’s videos generate more search requests, views and there are more mid size KZbin channels than other brands. So how to fix that? Nikon and other brands have up their social media game, help more content creators to grow their channel with more collab. Nikon needs to make their cameras more visible online in the face and eyes of content creators showing all what they’re missing using Sony’s or Canon’s cameras. I’m not talking about hiring some Sony shooter and KZbinr to make just one video with an awesome great sales speech for them. They need real content creator ambassadors. Using content creator which are first Sony shooter will not help them on the long run. They will make one videos then move on to their own business using Sony not Nikon.

[@BrittneyJanae]

It’s a lot of Nikon shooters on you tube that are ambassadors, but like you said it’s so many more Sony users that it’s a speciality to have a Nikon and search for Nikon. So they are going to have to do a big haul to try to be a focus when it comes to YT and content creators a like. It’s so bad because KZbinrs have talked bad about Nikon as if they are a bad product and a lot of people believe them.

Totally agree

[@ericwilliams626]

This is an interesting topic that I have paid attention to it for a while. The Canon vs Nikon DSLR experience started a lot of this and it really boils down to personality types, marketing, and simply attitude. Canon people who have committed to the brand don't wish to feel Nikon has anything they don't. That's the simple answer. People are prideful. I was introduced by Nikon to by brother and not in a big way, just the brand was good, blah blah blah. Then I bought a film camera. I used it and liked it. It wasn't until digital cameras came out that I renewed my interest and bought a Nikon basic, the an intermediate DSLR and started buying used lenses. That's when I saw the benefits, price of old lenses and quality of image. However, Canon people just can't get past themselves. They don't care. Someone recently said to me as the typical excuse, Nikon AF isn't fast enough. Ridiculous responses so they don't have to face the truth, they've been had. Now as far as video is concerned I equate why cameramen don't want to shoot on Nikon is this; It's like telling someone you drive an Infiniti. A what? An Infiniti. What's an Infiniit? It's a great car nobody knows about and why? Nissan doesn't market the luxury vehicles or any. They just don't. So the result is cultural perception. Shooters only shoot on what's popular and Nikon has never marketed their cameras to shoot anything and this has been the downside. I can't find anyone who will shoot on my Z6 so I can just direct. I won't shoot on anything else bc I refuse to spend the money or extra storage for nothing. So, now they bought RED they will get some recognition and perception of the brand to shooting production. In short, people are sheep and only use what is marketed to them. Nikon personalities are individualists who don't follow anyone. It's a masculine brand, period. Canon is for the soys of the world. Sony makes great products but they are the Apple of the digital world. Sigh. Lastly, why should I have to buy a Varicam just to attract a shooter? Just dumb. So I will sit and wait to find people who have their come to Jesus moment.
