is it me, or are you guys completely drunk? 😅
you smashed that martini
He definitely ate that olive?
I have S23 ultra and every time I look at the moon I don't take a picture, SAMSUNG made it weird.
And what in heaven do you mean fastest laptop 😂
A weekly Cocktail Hour With Chelsea and Tony is the way to go.
I’ll drink to that. ❤
Agreed 💯😂
Yea, let’s make it a thing 😅
It’s a daily cocktail hour-but they only post once/week 😅.
Back in the day the used to do News, Booze, and Reviews. I loved that format. They would talk about news and critique images sent in by viewers. It would be great to see them bring it back.
I've been subscribed to the channel for I think 10 years now and I've probably watched 90% of you content that isn't long format user guides. I love the nerdy techinical insight that Tony brings to the channel as well as the more... normal perspective Chelsea adds, but if I'm being honest there can often be a feeling of awkward scripted-ness. That said, this felt like the most genuine, most relatable, most enjoyable and entertaining vibe I've seen on the channel ever and I loved it! You two have moved from the "hey wouldn't it be cool to run into those guys in public and chat about photography for a bit" category to, "I'm carrying a bottle of Tito's with me whenever I'm in the great Connecticut area because we're going to hang out and have a blast." Haha. I don't know if you guys are able to be as relaxed without drinking (and shoot I hope I'm not suggesting you need to drink to be fun peole - not at all) but this is a couple that could be good friends. Merry Christmas and happy new year to you both. Cheers 😁
Tony should have a drink every episode. LOL Hearing him buzzed never disappoints. 😂
"i love megapixels, man!!"😅
I bought my Z8 about 6 weeks back, an upgrade from my D800e. I'm absolutely blown away by how much better this camera is. None of the other Nikon mirrorless offerings had me excited enough to pull the trigger but all the reviews for the Z8 convinced me over and over again that THIS was the right time and it really was.
Funny. Upgrade? Incomparable the two cameras. It‘s like an upgrade from a Beetle to a Ferrari, if you like fast cars.
@@wallystellmacher6794 Beetle to Porsche not Ferrari....its the same family like Nikon to Nikon
Greetings from Germany
@@robertblaschke4851 korrekt!
@@wallystellmacher6794 the d800e is no Beetle my friend, it's a muscle car. the DR of that camera is still unmatched by any fullframe camera in 2023 including the d850. I sometimes still shoot it side by side with a GFX 100s, and it keeps up in DR. 90% of the way at least.
@@Juventinos the Nikon D800e is from 2012. 12 years ago announced. That time a great camera for pro users. Still a good camera for most situations. But not comparable to modern pro cameras. Just my opinion.
What an irreverent, goofy, utterly entertaining presentation. You guys should have Martinis on a conveyor belt. Thoroughly entertained! 🎉😂
Thank you guys, being a Nikon loyal user for nearly 50 years it’s good to see them come back good. Also good to see you two so relaxed ! Perhaps a future style of presenting 😂😂
Got my Z9 as soon as it was launched. It is a different camera now and deserves (in my “unbiased” opinion) your award!!
My favorite part of the video is the bond you two share. And the end of the video was great. 😆
Merry Christmas, God bless.
I was having a bad day until I watched you two. Great show, I’m in a great mood now. Keep up the good work.
First of all, the milk carton graphic was a really nice touch! Also, Chelsea going all-in with her jazz scat session gets my vote for best musical performance on a youtube photography channel of the year award.
It's not just the z9, Nikon has improved, firmware updates on those old mirrorless cameras have been pretty good too
Exactly. The firmware updates on my z6 over the years have pretty much brought that camera close to the Z6ii level. It's nice to know Nikon continues to support their older cameras with updates. I bought a z8 a few months ago and will be interested to see how the updates evolve in comparison to the z9
Z6II and Z7II don't have a good working AF-C with real tracking
@@obrys5494 My Z6 did quite well in wildlife photography
Despite the critics of the youtubers, the A6700 is such a nice camera and customers love them. We got so much good feedback.
The thing is, that thing does it all for an affordable price and costumers directly understand this. It is a fully production camera.
What you youtube guys are talking is so far away from what is the need of costumers. This camera startet with such a negative hype, but people understand that it is bullsh*t what you’re talking. Blah blah blah rumors. It’s the most asked camera besides the A7IV, when we‘re at partner stores or on trade shows. Thats the reality and is so far away of being a flop.
THANK YOU!! These ppl are weird. This camera is a beast. My photog club almost exclusively use this camera.smdh.. so sick of these bandwagon snobs.🤡🤡🏌🏽🏌🏽
Those Maven filters are awesome. I have two sets and there's no going back from this kind of quality now.
Can you two bring adult beverages to every podcast? This was a freaking riot!
😂 I haven't laughed so much from your videos in a long time, and I have certainly not heard Tony's high pitch voice like that ever. More drunk Tony and Chelsea content!
Really digging the tipsy Northcrops….. lucky for you, I agreed with most observations. Except for the a6700. I think it’s great value for the money, given that it shoots 10bit 4k60 and there are a lot of nice apsc lenses out there for not too many dollars.
I am qualified to pass that judgment as someone who doesn’t own any Sony or apsc gear 🤣🤣
Given that my two cameras are a Nikon Z9 and Nikon Z8, I appreciate your choices. However, it's important to acknowledge that most of the better cameras from the major brands are capable of beautiful images. I'm a big fan of your "How to Create Stunning Digital Photography" book and recommend that to those who are trying to improve their photography with the gear they have.
The z9/z8 and Zf are amazing bodies. I shot both the zf and z9 last night at a concert for a wide/tele combo setup, and.. wow! I used to shoot sony, the a7r4 and a1 were my bodies then. With theater lighting the sony metering would fail. The awb would fail. Basics! They focus on high end specs so much they neglect the stuff nikon figured out decades ago. Now, with sony the cool thing is it didn't matter because I could easily setup the camera to ride iso/wb with some dials. I made it work. But with nikon, I just leave it on auto wb/iso and it nails it. It's such a load off. And this is personal preference but the handling is so much better. I never hated the sony ergo, but the nikon menus are like luxury menus compared to sony's dollar store menus. There are things I really, really don't like about sony bodies (love their lenses though) that will never be fixed by a global shutter or a million fps. Those are nice, amazing features, of course. But if you can't meter or wb for shit in changing light, what good is it?
I have the ZF and it's a fun camera to shoot with. The autofocus is a great improvement over the Z6II and older models.
I'm glad Nikon has been improving on their cameras and they are here to stay. More competition is better for us consumers.
I am leaning to buy the ZF. How wud it do to photograph the stars I wonder, as I love to get some milky way shots every now and then
@@ibrahimzain9472 If 24 MP is enough for you, the ZF will do just fine. The bulb mode is also on the physical shutter dial, so it's easy to adjust your shutter time.
You guys are smart and charming! Fun! and good info- love your opinionated info. Happy Holidays friends.
I'm pretty sure you guys (looking at you Tony) had a couple before you started filming. Thoroughly enjoyable video. Happy holidays!
Sony A6700 is NOT a flop! You just had higher expectations I guess. Also, Canon can release all the best wildlife/sports cameras they want but as long as RF mount is closed, I am not buying Canon.
Switching from the Sony a6000 to Nikon Z5 back in 2021 (rather than another system) was the best camera decision I’ve ever made. At the time Nikon was behind and not getting a lot of exposure for their mirrorless offerings - and I got their budget full frame camera. So glad I did because it was the easy gateway down payment for me into the Nikon system to the point now I upgraded to the Nikon ZF when Nikon finally caught up and seems to be hitting home runs with great cameras and a fantastic range of quality lenses. 👍🏾
I don't think that was Tony's first adult beverage of the day. 😂
You two are a SCREAM when you are drinking! I'm still laughing about the Jazz Guy & at the end when Chelsea was chanting for Tony to eat the evil olive & then ate it herself! You guys should do this [have an episode w/Martinis] more often ;) Finally, Happy Holidays!!!
Wow! Nikon is back! A few years ago... people were forecasting doom for Nikon. I always liked the color rendering of the Nikon much better than Canon and especially Sony
Sony has improved hugely
I think the doom risk is not yet gone, too early to judge 🙂 The problem is that Nikon became good only for their topmost two expensive cameras, which many (pros and hobbyists) don't need or don't want to afford.
For some (e.g. wedding photographers), large and heavy camera bodies are distinctively disadvantageous. For many hobbyists (esp. those landscapers who like hiking) (or who want to be more inconspicuous in cities) as well.
Unless Nikon SERIOUSLY trickles down goodies from the Z8 to their neglected but important middle class models, to become more competitive there finally, they are still candidates for long-term doom 😱(or at least for a continuation of their current market share loss).
The other (somewhat related) problem with Nikon Z is, that they almost only invest into their expensive top-tier "S Line" lens class. For that, the same is true as said before for the Z8/Z9.
For example, many portrait/wedding pros want 1.4 lenses as their sweet spot, also for acceptable weight (to carry for many hours). 1.2 is simply not acceptable for them. 1.8 lenses on the other hand are not really a substitute for missing 1.4 lenses, neither.
Sony has the most natural colors now, which is amazing. Period.
I just wanted to say a special 'Thank You' to both of you. For one you both fueled my knowledge leap with Stunning Digital Photography 7 years ago. And secondly you can genuinely tell how in love both of you are. I hope to find a wife who can enjoy photography as much as your wife does. Thanks for all the info and laughs. You're both doing a great job and help inspire all us amateur photographers turning into semi-pro or professional photographers.
Most fun Ive seen Chelsea have in a video in a while. It was nice to see.
amazing show! thank you guys! do one every day!!
Good stuff! I say bring back News Booze and Reviews.. Tony and Chelsea remember that? I loved it so much. Please bring it back.
For maximum effect, set your playback speed to .75.
Keep giving Chelsea drinks (makes fun content while I'm at work) , what's an dodgy olive between friends!😂
Historic moment...haha You guys are great...Love watching!...And I have the Z8 too!
I really enjoyed your video and I agree with the amazing work that Nikon has done with the firmware updates. I wish all the manufacturers would put that much effort into improving their software and user experiences. Repeat the format but with fresh Olives...
FANTASTIC!!❤️❤️ More martinis please! 😂 Great roundup, as usual! 👏👏
Nikon launched the Z8 on my birthday, so I had to get one for myself!😎
Happy it’s the camera of the year along with the Z9 due to the Nikon updates.
All I can say is it is the best camera I have ever owned and I can say I may have ran out of GAS. Well probably not for lenses though.
this was so much fun! More power to your channel, Tony & Chelsea!
Good idea to do like Chris and Jordan and do an end-of-the-year-awards video while drinking. Tony's giggling at the beginning was funny.
That was GREAT! You should do all your videos with a martini, olive and all. I have been a Nikon user for years. I currently have a D750 and D850 with many F mount lenses. Been waiting for a Nikon Mirrorless that would meet the Nikon standards of prior years. Sounds like the Z8 does that. Thanks for all the videos.
Had lots of laugh watching this. Thank you ❤
this year i got my first camera , have been borrowing z5 , z6ii from friends but i went with a7c with a tamron 28-200 and a viltrox 50 f1.8 and i cant even be happier , will get the 16mm viltrox this year
Too bad you didn't receive your Nikon Zf. I love this camera. It can do things that my $7000 Alpha 1 can only dream of: pre capture, focus bracketing, automatic selection of human or animal eye af and a lot more.
Great winners and I hope all the best for Nikon!
Someone should start the Northrup of the Year Award. Add a few categories like photography skills, on-screen charisma, hair luminance, and so on.
Come on, other photography channels. There's an opportunity here.
Love your videos!! Happy holidays! Yay, Nikon!
Back on your channel because of this video. Thank you from Frankfurt, Germany.
I love watching you two for the entertainment value. So many laughs. 🤩 Thank you. 🙏🏼
I give to this video "best video of the 2023 year " !!!
I watched the drone time lapse video! I'm not even really into drones, but I thought it was neat.
It is hard to argue with Nikon's Z8 and Z9 being named camera of the year. They have continually pushed the envelope with firmware updates for those cameras and shown that they could produce mirrorless options that lived up to the storied reputation of their famous DSLR counterparts. I thought the Canon RF 120-300mm f/2.8 L zoom would be somewhere in this roundup of best lenses of the year, too!
Love the Z8. Keep the improvements, Nikon!
Drunk Tony is a fun guy! Thanks for a fun video you two ☺
"The biggest flop" A6700 ?? " It didn't compete"?? Out of stock at Sony, a B&H top gift and top wish list item, were backordered for some time due to demand. A top seller for such a flop!! Do you always judge and get cameras based on rumors?? A very jaded attitude but I guess to be expected from one who gets practically every camera thrown at them or can afford them.
Man, the four of you are LIT! Especially the two Chelseas.
They had me at “wtf of the year “ award 💯💯
My Z 9 order was cancelled as well (apparently, it’s a systemic issue). I, too, was instructed to reorder but in addition, to escalate the processing and shipping, I had to call support with the new order number. I got my camera two days later.
Dudes.... Y'all are ZOOTED!!!😂
I'm so glad someone else picked up on this lol
You guys are adorable! 🫒
That phase one camera goes in a rig like an enlarger, and digitizes slides and negatives.
I haven't seen the waypoint video yet.....but I'm going to today. I'm a drone nerd as well and have played with the waypoints but look forward to seeing your training on it.
Thank you for validating my decision to buy the a7cii as my first camera lol
OMG. You two are in rare form on this one! lol. Great video!
Thanks so much for inviting me to what must be the most fun party I’m likely to attend over the season. Lots of information, of course, but so much laughter - especially those few *olive* moments. Have a wonderful time over the holidays! 🎉🥂🎄
What a hoot! I loved it, as I smiled and chuckled throughout the video. Your interactions and love for one another readily shows and it's much appreciated. Thanks for having the guts to do this video. Ciao! Jeff
I still want an a6700. But I gotta save my money so I can move. Maybe next year. Maybe the price will have come down. But, for the price, I still think it will be a great camera. I'm just a poor, retired guy. Otherwise, I would have bought it already.
Tony showing us how he landed Chelsea 😂
that was such a great video. its awesome to see you two having such a great time....BRAVO!!
the craziest thing about the phase is that while it has a removable back (the ix4 that's on every phase camera) you can't buy the camera without the back so if you already have one you still have to buy another back.
i called the zf as winner. close enough
Thumbs down for slamming the a6700. Sony isn't responsible for the rumors about it.
I thought it had to be the Sony A9-III for COY. I haven't heard much about anybody working on a global shutter, so when it came out I was shocked. After all, even stacked sensor cameras aren't at all common. A1, R3, and Z9 are the only ones I know of. I do feel like the Nikon Z8 and Z9 are probably the best "feeling" cameras of all, in my opinion.
That waypoint feature sounds cool...although I don't have a drone
I've got to try macerating old olives too!
I love my Z9 and the lenses
Hey, this was great! you two are really entertaining
“We’re fancy people”
“You have a rotting olive” 🤣🤣🤣
Love your videos
Thank you
Great video guys and happy about your camera of the year award. Go Nikon Z9!!!😊
You guys are the best, and I love that you picked «my» camera for professional camera of the year. if only I had the Nikon Z 600mm f/4 TC Lens to go with it. But vodka martinis are a shanda! The only martini is with gin.
lol. Tony and Chelsea a little buzzed are f-ing hilarious. (The imaging resource/jazz bit had me spitting out my coffee. 😂)
Looking at the camera of the year, Tony seems to really really want that Zf 😅
I absolutely love all of y’all’s videos. I just got back into photography and you guys have helped me get back on the right track with what products are the newest, latest and greatest. Thank you guys.
7:38 sKItTTyBOoPBbaPp 🤣🤣🎷📸
Thank you Tony & Chelsea!!
We need a video with Tony eating the olive!! Rigth now!! 😂😂😂
Hold strong opinions, but hold them lightly! If circumstances change, be free to change your opinion 🙂 WTG Nikon!
I have not always agreed with your choices but on this years review I feel you guys made great choices, in my opinion. Even thought I'm a Canon fan , I agree that Nikon has made great advancements especially with the Z8 and Z9. Personally I feel the R5 is still a great camera and can't wait to see what Canon is going to do with the R5 Mark II and possibly the R1, patience is a virtue. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year👍🎄
Great Show, as always 🎉.
You two are lightweights 🍸🤣
Oh-also-weren’t those two “accessories of the year” (the af adapter and magnetic filter kit) released like 2 years ago by different companies?
What great episode, thank you for the laughs 😂. I disagree with the A9iii being included in this year’s wrap up - I am not aware of anyone being able to purchase this for their personal or professional use.
15:00 Isn't Milford Photo near you guys? I got my R7 from them when they sponsored you guys. No one had them at the time and they were great and called me back.
Chelsea wow I was not expecting that!!
Get the full strength Vodka.
Thanks Tony and Chelsea for your inspiration. Merry Christmas guys
One of my favorite episodes ever 😂😂😂
The last few minutes are priceless!
OMG that was so fun😂. I didn’t even care which cameras got the awards. Youse should drink during reviews more often. And Tony- telling your wife you loved her as an excuse for not giving her the olive- priceless.
cheers guys good show hope your alright after the olive Chelsea.......
Hei, best regards from Norway.
First of all, I want to thank you for everything I have learned from you. The love you have for photography and the world of photography, is quite unique to me. You are doing a great job. Thank you very much!!!
What makes you quite unique to me, is that you always have these philosophical conversations. And you do not mind to reveal mistakes you have made yourself. Like we all do (Like in one of the latest videos from you I really enjoyed ,where you had a conversation about influencers - or as I call them, madluencers).
I feel you are down-to-earth and into what worries and occupies photographers Great job
Great job! love you guys.
尼康Z9是我买过的相机里最满意的一款相机，也是我用过的相机里最接近我理想中的一台相机
Great video... Enjoyed it a lot!
