$599 IS exp for a tripod lol crazy

Nice Job Will. All excellent recommends. I love my Maven magnetic filters. Also, the Tiffen double fog filter is a must have for Astro.

I wanted the EP-5B but with USBC to connect direct to the power bank, unfortunately not available direct from Nikon. Third party needed

Very interesting I got INIU Power Bank, 65W 20000mAh …50$ cad for my Zf

Thanks! I used my Z5 for astrophotography and get good results.

PENTAX K1 best camera

Here's my take, having owned the Z7 II and now ownig the Z8, I'd say the Z7 II is really the better camera if you're talking just landscapes. IQ is a bit better particularly if you have to shoot at higher ISOs (although this is not usually the case for most landscape photographers or shots). But when I compared my shots between the two cameras I feel that the Z7 II just has that slight edge, particularly at lower ISOs in terms of dynamic range. Now whether that really is of significance, probably not, but if I had to choose one or the other for my landscapes, I'd probably be inclined to go for my Z7 II, partially because it's also smaller and lighter and pretty much AF speed and video are irrelevant for landscapes. So if you're considering one, I'd get the Z7 II for $2300 as that's practically a steal IMO. If you shoot various genres, the Z8 may be a better option as it is a more well-rounded camera that is suited to many genres (particularly sports and wildlife) but the Z7 II I feel it's specialty IS landscapes.

U should have waited for the Z6iii

Hey there, i just traded my Zf in for the Z6iii for the better ergonomics. But… though i am not a big video guy, i just need an all a rounder camera for wildlife (flying, running, and stills) and for MAINLY landscape. I am not a professional, but i like good quality images so i can print and post on social media. Will this Z6iii (even though so many people say DR is bad) would it be good for a wildlife, nature, and MAINLY landscape camera (mainly landscape)? I don’t have a big budget, just want a camera that is great for what i do

Nice video, WillChaney!! I concur- I love my Z8 and lenses. I especially love: 1. Class leading dynamic range 2. Base ISO 64 3. Starlight 4. Auto focus on infinity 5. Built in intervalometer 6. Image quality and sharpness 7. Auto WB is always spot on. Anyone looking to get an all around best mirrorless camera, should def consider the Z8.

Nice review Will! Love my Z8!

How much better is a z6ii than a d5600

can a flash be used while taking pixel shift shooting shots?

Clear and concise explanations. Thank you.

The Z5 is the perfect camera for Astrophotography. Big pixels and low read noise. I modified my Z6ii for H-Alpha and get better reds or Hydrogen signals now.

Great video. Now that you have covered almost all the Z camera series for night photos, what is your favorite for this type of photography? Thank you.

I saw the article that petapixel posted for this and wanted to say thank you! My pictures came out really well from your recommended settings. Thank you!

Thanks for giving us a great starting point. Trial and error can often mean poor results in the relatively short span of a fireworks show.

I know it's been two years since you recorded this but you're a life saver! I just got the Z8 You are my definite favorite person to work along with.. You explain and speak so well. Astro is my passion and I hope you keep putting up more information for the Z8! and night photography tips. Thank you so much for your work.

does this apply to z5o as well?

Please do something about the echo on your mic 🎤 settings.

I love night shooting and this will give me another Genre to my Miky way

Really good info, and timely for me. I’m going to shoot my first fireworks this Saturday. Would you recommend using a B, C, or D on the Z8?

I wonder whether you had any issues related to heat distortion / heat haze and bad air quality? All of them negatively impact the image quality in a substantial way. I am in discussion with other nature photographers and they too experienced similar issues.

This background music kills everything. Makes it hard to follow this great content your giving.

I bought my Z8 a few months ago. I'm very happy with her. It was almost a pain to abandon the canon that I had been using for years, but every day I realize that the decision was correct.

You mentioned a tracker mount video… maybe for deep sky… Have you progress on that topic and are you using Stellarium to find the subject?

Great I did not think about this option! But for Astro photo it’s a no go :( It seems 1sec+ it’s disabled… Nikon should allows it if you on purpose need this… Astro photo + tracking mount

Used tripod are also great options, old and heavy… Or if you have a telescope tripod that also is great.

Great! 3 fixes

15k is what I don’t like 😅

Yea! Just sub Finally Nikon Z tips and tricks… I am planning on starting soon with some Astro photo

I wounded after you freeze the focus in manual… Did you check with a Bahtinov mask?

simple lol thanks

Its still a POTATO. Can't even record video on both card slots? Whyyyy? All cameras in this price range can. Same with z8 and z9. Same problem.

Nice vid thanks! Subbed.

Sadly not any good for wildlife photographers, especially birds and birds in flight, so I'll pass this one ...

love the new camera the screen is the worst part from a photographers stand point. good for content creators who need to see themselves though which makes sense.

pass ... not a photo camera

Just looking at the Z8 and doing some research. Wonder if anyone with a Z8 on firmware 2 tried to use this pixel shift technique to capture the Total Solar Eclipse back in April? I shot it with a D850 but, after learning about the Z8 and pixel shift, wondering what 'could have been' .....

Greatly helpful video, if only I could cut through the irritating background noise - none of which can be removed by changing the iso 😂

I bundled that with my Z6II when I changed ecosystems in Dec 2022. It now stays on my Zf most of the time. It is a fantastic lens!!

I have a Z9 after having a D500. I had a vertical grip on the D500 and ending up preferring to use it with the grip since I found that I often needed it but didn’t have it with me. So I left it on. It was heavy with the grip. So I bought the Z9 and I love the versatility and the fact that I have never had a battery issue as it lasts forever. I shoot a lot of wildlife and have long lenses, including the 800z. I find the weight of the Z9 and its size is actually a plus using long lenses. I think the Z8 with the grip is actually larger and heavier than the Z9. However, it’s really a matter of what type of shooting you do. If I was a landscape photographer I would prefer the Z8. I do find that when I shoot photos of the kids or family events with my 24-70 or the 70-200, the weight of the Z9 becomes quite noticeable after a while. I am waiting for Nikon to upgrade the Z9. Maybe a global shutter and even better performance. If they offer one without a built-in vertical grip I may go for that to save the weight for when I don’t need to shoot vertically. It certainly is great to have two outstanding cameras, the Z8 and Z9, to choose from.

This is a fantastic all-around lens, following Nikkor tradition. It's extra reach requires the larger barrel than its 24-70 sibling It's not marketed as a cine lens, and as such, its focus breathing is minimal. It also has a function ring that can be configured as a non-click aperture control. For a wider, faster lens, there are so many third party that are lightweight and inexpensive.

Thanks for this review. It's good to see one that is backed up by lots of real world use.

Nice review my favorite Nikon z lens. It can do everything. Ultimate travel lens if you still want S line quality photos.

Great lens. Paired with the 14-24 is a bit heavy for lugging up hills and mountains but it is too hard to choose between them so I take both.

Thank you sir!! Very helpful.

Same conclusion for me , the Nikon Z 600 mm F4 is very expensive I have bought the Nikon Z 800 mm F 6.3 very easy to make pictures handhold , and in the Netherlands almost 9000 Euro's cheaper
