Why Every Creator Needs To Be Paying Attention To Nikon

[@RanftEvan]

Hope this gives some more context to the Nikon switch. If you didn't know about the new Red x Nikon Lets this is a direct link to nikons website help y'all out www.nikonusa.com/content/red-luts

[@kennethdavis5230]

I am certainly not a professional photographer, but I recently picked up a Zf to check it out. I have used mostly sony and fujifilm until now and am blown away at how much I enjoy the camera and the images that I get from it. I only have one Nikon lens so far, but am using the megadap adapter to utilize sony lenses and it works pretty well(again, maybe not professsionally, but for me it works great). I really like having that flexibility between the 2 systems. Long story short, I think you are on point. Nikon is making some really good moves.

[@-grey]

I did the same with Canon. I think maybe there's a reason they are the original big players. They are just great at what they do. 😂

[@AshBashSneakers]

Nice to have you on board.. Nikon z system has missed having a lot of big creators showing what it’s capable of

[@karyleianawildernesscapes]

Agreed!

[@panzer3279]

Sony gave free cameras to most creators, that's the reason. But obviously Nikon was struggling before Z9 launched, so that's also a reason.

[@bydennisheck]

I think it’s absolutely brilliant that you’ve made the switch to Nikon. I used to feel a bit like an outsider whenever I used Nikon, even though I switched years ago, purely for photography. The colors, the dynamic range, and the overall feel of the images that came straight out of the camera always appealed to me so much more. Over time, I’ve evolved into multimedia as well, and I noticed exactly what you’re saying-that Nikon has caught up in many areas, such as the autofocus system, which works brilliantly in the newer cameras. Autofocus was perhaps a minor weakness in the past, but now it’s outstanding. I absolutely love it because I’m a big fan of Nikon-the lenses are fantastic. And when you look at third-party options like the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, which is built using Nikon’s patent, you can see how incredible the current lineup of lenses is. I’m really excited to see what’s next and super happy that I can stick with Nikon, as I’ve always loved the cameras for their handling and build quality. Thanks for your objective reporting!

[@patrickmcmahon818]

I’ve been with Nikon since the 90’s from film to digital and now mirrorless. Been there when they were on top, when they were lagging behind, and now with some fantastic gear. These companies all seem to leapfrog one another and they’ve all gone up in quality. Current I have the Z9 and Z6III and switched all my F mount lenses to Z mounts, but honestly I tell anyone who’s looking into cameras today to go to your local camera stores or places like Best Buy and check out all the cameras. See which one fills your needs and feels best in your hands, who has a menu system and button layout you like and most of all, what you can afford. All the top companies make great cameras nowadays and like you said in your video, some are better at pics whiles others are better at video and a few do both very well. It’s a great time for photography and video creators. Excellent video!

[@JohannBauermeister]

I'm a Sony shooter (film and video) and am watching what Nikon does closely, they are the most innovative brand in the space at the moment...

[@FieldingSmith]

I think with Nikon acquiring Red and Panasonic getting Arri to tune Arri LogC3 for their newest camera, there are a lot more interesting options in the market. Rumors of DJI developing a FF camera (maybe L-mount?) could also be disruptive. But if I was to switch from m43 to FF, right now it would be Nikon. Probably a Z6iii and a Z8 (unless they release a Z7 upgrade soon).

[@RanftEvan]

Yeah I’ve heard that about DJI as well. It’s an interesting time on the video side for sure. Bitter sweet for me tho cause photography is where my passion is and where i started. Thanks for the input!

[@bryanwiththeheart]

I dropped my Z6 onto some rocks and it then it fell into a lake, completely submerged for about a minute. Two years later still clicking just fine. Then the back screen started to get all scrambled, until my wife dropped it out of the back of our car. Screen fixed itself and we're back to new again. It's a robustly made camera and great value.

[@lesliewachter1275]

@@malikdhadhalinux I still use my Z6 despite now owning a Z8 and Zf. TBH, if I don't zoom in, which of course in those situations the Z8 will show more detail, I really can't tell which image was taken by which camera.

[@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

Canon and Sony fanboys are trying hard to bash Nikon on the internet. Now that autofocus is not an issue anymore they focus on small differences in dynamic range at the Z6 III to create insecurity at potential new Nikon customers. It's really obvious that they try to make Nikon look bad. Tony Northrup and Jared Polin are good examples of Anti-Nikon bias.

@@JojoJoget I’m not saying that camera manufacturers listen to working photographers. I’m clearly stating that you should take camera purchasing advice from working photographers who use the gear day in and day out, instead of the talking heads on KZbin who shoot with the cameras for an afternoon and tell you if they’re good or not. Evan is a WORKING photographer. Jared Polin and Tony Northup are mostly hobbyist photogs at this point.

[@costergumede9457]

I agree mate.. The history of Nikon cameras is indelibly great to erase..I can say without fear of contradiction that since our Film days, Nikon has been on the zenith of photography... therefore, Nikon users shouldn't sweat the little stuff mercenaries disguised as pros of photography..

[@enjoygary]

LUMIX s5iix is the best hybrid camera right now for the price. 6k Open gate, best in class image stabilization, record directly to SSD’s, Leica’s color science, built in fan, proxy recording, frame I.O integration, in body anamorphic desqueeze. There’s more and it only cost 2k dollars.

[@mikeR39]

Use one all the time and it is not enjoyable for photography. It’s great colour though and stabilization for video. I still favour a7iii even for photo

[@-grey]

Leica's colour science? I had heard that one before. I'd love to see it in action.

[@Chopper153]

Well, it's a great video camera but a terrible photography camera

[@enjoygary]

@@-grey yeah a KZbinr compared his leica to his lumix and the photos were indistinguishable from each other

[@enjoygary]

@@mikeR39 I think the Sony cameras are better photography cameras, but the Lumix are better video cameras. That’s just because the Sony’s take images very fast probably faster than anyone else but it’s not a huge thing to consider unless you are doing sports photography.

[@bailey.nt86]

🎉 you will love it, it's an amazing camera. The biggest thing for me was getting use to no mechanical shutter. It was really weird the first few times shooting in regards to not feeling and hearing that shutter slap. It literally feels like the camera isn't doing anything, especially if you turn the fake shutter sound off 😮

[@briancarlisle2534]

Man, this is such a good video. Very informative, thanks so much. I’ve recently traded my Zf for the Z63, haven’t had a lot of chances to use it, but so far I am happy with it. I don’t do video’s but if I ever get into videography, I think it’ll do well. Have you used the Z63 for still and landscapes? What are your thoughts? I kinda miss my OM-1, inbody stacking and ND ability was awesome. Maybe Nikon will one day add those to their stuff.

[@ismaeltiscareno445]

Totally agree with you. Nikon acquiring RED was kind of a big surprise. I'm really waiting for them to announce a free or paid video editing software something like: Davinci Resolve Nikon already has Studio NX Photo editor for free and I think it is improving. Another thing that you forgot to mention is that Nikon Z lenses have almost zero focus breathing compared the Sony lenses I've used. And that's a big plus for video.

[@russellwright9961]

Right!!

[@atxrich]

Couldn't agree with you more on your take about Nikon. I've been a Nikon shooter for a long time and I'm glad they've been able to right the ship (starting with the Z9) and step up with the camera technology. I've sold off my DSLRs and moved to the Z mount, first with the Z5 and now the Z6 III.

[@ohanatraveladventures]

Nikon since day 1

[@RanftEvan]

💯🤝

[@karyleianawildernesscapes]

As a life-long Nikon shooter -- D7200/D810 & now Z9/Z8 -- I was worried for a bit that Nikon wasnt open-minded enough to open up the Z-mount to 3rd party manufacturers, I 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 jumped ship to Sony. But when they did, I became reinvested all over again. For myself, that was the bigger factor going forward in the future. Nikkor lenses are amazing...but so are Tamron/Sigma/Viltrox/Laowa, etc. My current go-to combo: Z8 + Tamron Z 35-150. Unbelievable versatility!! I cant wait for whenever Sigma starts dropping Z-mount DG DN Art lenses...hopefully soon!

[@JacobVersus]

I just bought a Z6iii it’s amazing, what a beast.

[@rf.photographs]

Been a Nikon user for 13 years, starting w/ the D3100. Years down the road, D800. Avoided the mirrorless word until 2 years ago with the Z6II. Some GAS pickups since then: FM2n, F100, F80, and D200 (CCD niche 🤩). Upgraded to the Z6III this past weekend to venture in the videography creative space and L😍VE it!! Autofocus is SUPER sticky, stabilization is rock solid, FULL FRAME 4k 60fps -120fps (when need it). Excited for Nikon's direction in the industry.

[@loco46m]

I went from the Canon R10 to the Nikon Z30 because I loved Nikon, but back then their mirrorless cameras were still kind of experimental, and I needed more from my camera, so I switched to the Fujifilm X-S20. Fujifilm has had a lot of trouble with autofocus lately for some reason, so this video makes me want to switch back to Nikon.

[@ccoppola82]

I have way too many cameras but I’ve been really thinking of selling 90% of them and just grab a ZF with a couple lenses and an M adaptor for my favorite Leica lenses.

[@GrainOnTheGo]

I think my Z8 is the most fun I’ve had since leaving DSLR and into Mirrorless. Ironically I had a Nikon D810 for a while when I had a DSLR, then went to Panasonic with a G85, then a G9 and finally an S5ii. Not to say any of those were bad but I was missing something. The Nikon Z8 felt like the ideal step I should’ve taken from the D810. Nikon is also just providing so much post launch support for all their cameras. I’m excited to see what they do going forward.

[@marqman05]

Great video, and I agree that more people need to pay attention and give respect to Nikon.

[@KevinMaschke1]

Fujifilm user here. The only brand that I'd be interested in switching to would be Nikon. The Z6III and Z8 are the most appealing to me. Only downside I see is the size and weight compared to Fuji.

[@itsjoetorres930]

Fellow Fuji shooter here as well and I just picked up a z6 iii. It feels the same if not slightly lighter than the h2s. Its def a switch you wont regret small learning curve but honestly great

[@jessejayphotography]

@@itsjoetorres930 X-H2S user here. My XF 150-600mm recently broke. I sent it in for repair but when I got it back the AF barely worked and the image was a complete blurry mess. I am not a happy camper. I'm sending it back in for repair under warranty and leaving FUJI. Nikon Z8 is top of my list. I don't think I will regret it.

[@GamerRadar]

About time, i love my Z6.. been considering doing Sony for awhile but i prefer Nikon's Z Mount and have started considering their Z6III or Z8

[@Ben_Stewart]

I got both and they both have pro and a few cons. either one will produce stellar video or photo.

[@TasteofTaboo]

Fun fact in Europe Nikon is quite often used in advertising and fashion.

[@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

You are right. Nikon USA has also announced a deal to provide USC Film Schools with cameras and lenses. This was published on their website on 30th of September as a press release.

[@JasonLorette]

I absolutely love my Z6III and I'm just scratching the surface of what I can do with it. I think that we will see a "Z-Mount Red Camera" with Z Cinema Lenses before we see a Nikon Cinema camera...but I've been surprised before.

[@russellwright9961]

I agree! It makes a lot of sense; once the Nikon engineers understand cinema, it'll be GAME OVER!

potential for some greatness with the merger of RED/NIKON.

[@Thirsty_Fox]

I've been Sony since I started with mirrorless back in 2011, and mostly stayed for the lens options and autofocus. If I were to switch it would be to Nikon, so long as their autofocus has truly caught up. They seem to have such great ergonomics and colour science. Sony is also dragging their heels on an A7V which I think is really needed to compete with these latest offerings.

[@Extrafresch]

It wasn't that long ago where I'd see the memes of people dissing on Nikon for whatever reason, but now Nikon has put themselves in a very comfortable position to be a very viable system choice for any new photographer that is choosing (or for an experienced photographer that is switching systems) between Sony/Canon initially.

[@denisnicholson2528]

Been shooting with Nikon since I started photography in 2018. One day i'll get a mirrorless, but i'm happy with my D500 and D700. I took a portrait with my D700 and 135 F2 DC a few weeks ago and the results absolutely stunned me. I had to stop my editing and just look at the image for like 5 minutes just repeating, "wow".

[@russellwright9961]

I 100% feel you on this! I still have a pair of D700s along with a D4S and the files are incredible. It's part of what I've built my career on. Prior to these, my first DSLR was a D90 and a D7100. The files from the D700 and D4S are amazing, to say the least. I don't own the 135 F2 DC, but still want that lens and the 105. I have a lot of Nikkor vintage glass that I use for portrait work and they deliver. I absolutely feel you though when you said, "I had to stop my editing and just look at the image for like 5 minutes just repeating, "wow".....this happens to me and I thought it was just me, LOL...

I have been with Nikon for decade through the ups and downs. They always come with great products. Sometimes you gotta be patience specially when switching to mirrorless was a huge transition. But the wait was totally worth it.

[@urosjovanovic3142]

When they switched to digital, first two generations of their cameras were solid, but not spectacular. The 3rd generation was the one that changed everything and they released amazing cameras since. I believe it's going to be the same with mirrorless. They made Z6, Z6ii, Z7 and Z7ii more like test models, and then they unleashed the beast - Z9, Z8, Z6iii are all absolutely top class cameras. Even my Z5 is an amazing camera for studio. I've been shooting with it for a couple of years now, doing paid work, and it performs like a much more expensive camera.

[@chromaticvisuelle]

I started with a Nikon D3000, then D7000, then D600, few more years I switched to Sony a6300, then a7RII, then Fuji XT2. I liked the Sony and Fuji but I sold everything to get a Nikon Z6 and I'm not looking back! I love it! Reminds me of my years with their Dslrs, solid build, never had any issue with batteries, or cards. Solid performance! I really want a Z6III or Zf now!!!

[@paulaquipel7472]

[@BUCKSHOTSTV]

I’m moving from Fuji to the Nikon zf. I love the analog feel but Fuji focus and not considering a full frame is the main reason I’m jumping ship. My ex just ordered her first Nikon camera a few minutes ago as well. Jumping ship from canon and going to Nikon too.

[@j.f.1979]

The cheapest good lenses that you can start with a Z system are adapted F mounts...best of all, if you're a SONY user you can still shoot with a Z camera with zero issues

[@greenmedic88]

I wasn't expecting "fruits" from the RED acquisition this soon. My non-optimistic assumption was that it would eventually lead to a Z mount cinema lens line for RED cinema cameras, maybe some spillover tech in the software/firmware area in future Z bodies; MAYBE a firmware update in the Z9/Z8/Z6iii for a new N-Log profile down the line, but considering the RED 16 bit and the Nikon 12 bit massive gap, I wasn't running wild with any speculation or anticipation. While I think the LUTs are mostly beneficial to those currently shooting Komodo REDs and want to incorporate N-Log for B cam footage, I have to admit: I really like the RED LUTs over the standard Nikon LUTs.

[@cortanathelawless1848]

I'm purely a photographer and yes i feel most represented by Nikon. Like they meet my needs best by far. I get video is getting more important but i want hardware that still focuses on photography. The ergonomics are good, the colours are amazing. I dont get the hate. Also i don't get why so many people are trash talking them while from my experience particularly nikon DSLRs are still beloved and used by professionals.

[@__eugenelee]

Awesome video and agreed, I'm in the process of switching from Sony to Nikon (again). Curious to know how you edit your videos (they look so good). Every time I put in my prores 422hq nlog footage into premiere and then modify the clips to rec2020, everything has a pink/red hue and it's been driving me nuts. Also, exports always look off, even when changing the gamma to 2.2 (web). Any tips or help would be amazing 🙏🏻

[@timoteojosue9230]

Really appreciate your honest review. Some years ago for as I know Nikon had third-party sensors. Are the new line of cameras using Nikon own sensors?

[@DeRose05]

I am very excited for the future. I will likely upgrade from my z6ii to the z7iii (if they make it) or the z8ii. You are absolutely correct that the new lenses that are coming out are crazy good. I have been buying them bit by bit. I think I might go for the rebranded Tamron wide angle zoom, of the trinity, and spend the money on the Nikon 70-200. I would be very interested to see if a cell phone brand approaches Nikon/Red now as well. I would love to see Nikon in maybe a Google Pixel or Samsung S 2***.

If Nikon can get their cameras to focus as well as Canon, or Sony, it might do well. I have a buddy who owns the R6 II and bought the z6III thinking he would replace his camera. He kept the Canon and returned the Nikon because the autofocus while decent, was a couple steps back from the Canon (plus the video was quite noisy).

[@chromaticvisuelle]

Interesting, I wonder which lens he tried? Was it early a firmware maybe?

[@timeandtides8701]

Do any Nikon cameras have dual SD card video recording yet? The new lenses look amazing but this is a massive deal breaker if not

[@PavelGramatikov]

I love Nikon. I truly do. But if you are serious about video bear in mind that none of their bodies offer video backup to the second card slot. Not even the Z9. The only way you can do backup is using an external monitor recorder. I've sent them messages and emails but still no firmware update to fix this.

[@chromaticvisuelle]

Oh that's disappointing. Specially for the newer bodies (but I never had any issue with xQd cards, much better than SD cards)

[@judeemclaughlin]

Long time Nikon user but I have not tried video on them yet, I've been considering the Z6III if I decide to stick to video which would make it worth the investment. My iPhone is what I'm using for now. Although mu husband thinks I should update to the iPhone 16.

[@LuisFelipeBustilloVelasquez]

Nikon AND Lumix.

[@JojoJoget]

That’s quite a reach for investing into Nikon, if you wanted to get into cinema, you would already have, Nikon acquiring RED would have no bearing on it nor should it, AF in a cinecam isn’t a gamechanger. Not saying Nikon is bad but waiting for a Nikon cinecam is kind of silly.

[@allenschneider1847]

Do the new Z mount lenses have an aperture ring on the lense?

[@itsjoetorres930]

So some of the lenses have a control ring which you can set in camera to be Aperture and unlike some other control rings Nikon allows you to set the sensitivity of the control ring so I have mine set to low sensitivity and that way if my lens gets bumped my aperature won’t suddenly fly from 1.4 to 7 lol but instead I can control it and dial it in like I did when I would use my Fuji. It’s not as perfect as a dedicated aperature ring but it’s close and totally usable

Been a Nikon shooter for 14 years and I'll be honest, they're actually slacking. Not allowing third party lens manufacturers to make lenses for their FF Z cameras is ridiculous. Also, they're not very creator friendly. They don't really listen to their users. They're so far behind. I'm looking to switch to Sony but I'll still keep my Z8. Nobody can beat Nikon at their UI but they need to get with the times. They're still so behind especially in video.

Nikon is in your blood, bro.

[@Chopper153]

The biggest issue with Nikon is that they have offshored the production to China and Thailand. When I'm paying thousands of dollars for a lens or a body, I do expect them to be made domestically in Japan. Canon makes all their high end bodies and lenses in Japan. Sony is like Nikon, only thinking about profits.

[@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

This is a non issue. All Apple premium products are also made in China by Foxconn. It doesn't matter where the factory is located if you apply the same quality control standards for your company. The chips are actually coming from Taiwan at TSMC. That's how the modern world works. Only if you are very oldschool thinking this may be an issue in your head.

Purchased the Z8 and the old Nikon Z rec 709 was not as good at this current one. I'm exited to see how they will add on to what they currently have and even build Nikon Cine Cam I'd sell my FX 30 so quick LOL

[@RanftEvan]

Haha I didn’t want to say it in the video but that was my thoughts exactly. A Nikon fx3 or fx30… that’s the dream

[@RanftEvan]

That being said I think I’m going to rig out a z8 until then. Haven’t fully decided on that tho

"Creators"

[@heiser_bill]

I used Nikon for over 20 years, and a year or so ago sold my Z7, Z6, and a bunch of lenses, and downsized to Fuji. My formerly bursting at the seams camera bag has lots of free space, and it’s lighter to carry. I thought I might sacrifice some image quality in this switch but haven’t noticed that. The Fuji (X-H2) can be a little quirky but overall is more fun to use (it’s hard to put a finger on “why”, but it is). 🤷‍♂️

Im nikon shooter from past 9yrs but i feel jelous of Sony users. Becase of they have grt 1.4 lenses and amazing 3rd party support from zeiss n sigma. that means light weight yet pro glass and able to afford all the set of primes. Its not about jst the body always

[@csc-photo]

Been rolling with the Z8 and 26 2.8, super combo! Ultra portable!

[@RanftEvan]

Yes! I made a video about that combo. It’s really surprising how good the image quality is from that small lens. It’s what’s made me mention the part in this video about the z-lenes

[@Photogeek611]

Shhh keep it down man. You’re gonna convert all the hater’s and get the scalpers attention.😂

[@arunashamal]

Unfortunately only professional photographers and people with too much money are the ones who can provide attention to Nikon...They have ignored the beginners and amateurs! z50? a 5 year old camera is all you have for them? This is why Canon is always killing Nikon!

[@millerrd0725]

LUMIX s5ii and s5iix is way better than the z6iii and they both have better dynamic range and they cheaper. They are the true hybrid kings cameras

[@Jeka85]

DR is pretty much the same but RS is worse on S5 II and autofocus is much worse. Stills are way better on Nikon.

[@lefthandright01]

You left out one key feature, with their purcgase of Red, Nikon can also now loegally pursue anyone trying to create variations of internal raw compression...just like red did.

[@graphguy]

too big. That is why I left NIKON and went to Sony 8 years ago and still think it was the best decision I made in 30 years.

Another camera push ? Must be running out of content ideas .

[@andrewhoulihan7940]

Actually a great post for someone like me. Don’t they say if you make one person happy in a video it’s a success!! Why waste your time with comments like that?

[@chrismann5070]

@@andrewhoulihan7940 not a waste of time , it gave me something to do , while waiting for the washer to finish its spin , much like your content .

Nikon is not an English word; the world doesn’t end after America. There are other languages and cultures beyond that. It’s really not that hard to pronounce 'Nikon'

[@RanftEvan]

Ok

[@csc-photo]

Do you want us to say "Zed" in America too? Either way, people complain. Relax.

[@GG-zv9ku]

Nobody cares.

[@kuanishere]

oh wrong pronunciation, the world’s gonna end

[@Carthodon]

The company's official position is that both are fine.
