    Save Nikon! I LOVE the drama. Nikon recorded a big sales increase with the Z9, Z8, and ZF, but hey, you made me click on your video.
  • @highsidephoto
    Save Nikon? Not sure Nikon is in need of saving but, OK. LOL
  • @Perunalum
    Nikon has the greatest staple of glass in the industry and you can use all of its legacy F-Mount glass going back generations.
  • @bubby372
    Been shooting Nikon since the 70's. i would never think of using any other brand of camera.
  • Most mounts can be adapted to the Z mount so Sony having more glass is irrelevant seeing that you can adapt their glass to the Nikon Z camera anyway.
  • @maxpovey6877
    I really think you and most people online are misunderstanding what Gerald undone says about the dynamic range of this camera. RAW codecs are always going to be noisier than compressed ones, the reason other manufacturers are getting better numbers is because they're applying in camera NR then compressing that further. Gerald said himself with a little bit of NR in post the Z6iii falls in line with other similar mirrorless cameras
  • @waveland
    The last time I checked file sizes, NRAW is similar to BRAW which is similar to ProRes 4:2:2 HQ in terms of bit rates. Now ProRes RAW has crazy big files. That’s a very different situation. As far as the cost of cards, a 512GB CFExpress card runs about $130 these days, but try buying a v90 SD card of the same size. Those are north of $500. CFExpress has become very affordable.
  • @JasonLorette
    They are going to sell a literal crap ton of these cameras...I can't wait to get my hands on one!
  • @arndtbc
    Kyle What Z lenses are missing in the line up? Nikons been around long time ,glad "young people" are coming around.
  • Bro y'all need to stop the crap that Nikon needs saving, they've been doing just fine recently...and you can't expect them them have a comparable lens line uo to Sony just yet. They lens they do have are excellent though
  • @KushVasa
    You said Sony gear is cheaper than Nikon? Did i really hear it right ?!!
  • Hey, thanks for the video. I previously owned a DSLR and would like to switch to a mirrorless camera, but I only use it for photography. What are your recommendations? in terms of brand and model? cheers
  • What camera do you use day to day? and how long did you use the camera.
  • Hi, how is the autofocus compared to the Zf? Is there much difference between them?
  • @LeetechMedia
    Name a popular or widely used lens that isn't available for the Z mount? Lens size is a plus because Nikon doesn't skimp on quality, like focus breathing. If this camera had a Canon or Sony label it would be all over YouTube as the greatest at that price.
  • @franktv992
    Can you test the delay on the HDMI output please? I’m thinking of getting 2x of these for vmix streaming ..
  • What was your experience using the adapted Sony lenses on the Nikon? Curious to see if using lenses like that viltrox 16 is worth it :)
