- Welcome and welcome back to this channel, this is Jay from Alissa & Jay. Today I am excited to share, some of my opinions about several different cameras and lenses that we had the opportunity to play with during the ZoomCamera fair in Thailand. This fair happens every 6 months - once in March and again in October of every year. So if you are someone like me who likes to play with the latest and greatest cameras and lenses and if you are staying in Thailand, you can consider visiting there. Since I have a lot to talk about, I split this entire experience into multiple videos. This video is just one part of a series of videos yet to come or already available in the playlist. You can check out the playlist on the channel “ZoomCamera Fair March 2024”. Now let’s get to the content.
In this video, I share my opinions of the photos I shot using the 50mm F1.2 lenses from Nikon and Canon. I shot these photos on the left using Nikon ZF with Nikkor 50mm F1.2 and the photos on the right using Canon R6 mark ii with Canon RF 50mm F1.2 lens.
In my opinion, these camera and lens combinations perform great. The sharpness is very similar. The autofocus was close to perfect. It comes down to the user preferences and let’s talk about that.
Weight and balance:
Nikon ZF weighs 40 grams more than Canon R6 mark ii. The Nikkor 50mm F1.2 lens weighs 140 grams more than the Canon 50mm F1.2. The Nikon combo weighs 180 grams more than the Canon combo. This weight will be significant during a full day of shoot. But surprisingly, I noticed, that the Nikon ZF with 50mm F1.2 lens is much more balanced than the Canon R6 mark ii with RF50mm F1.2. which felt front-heavy. So, I would totally go with the Nikon combo.
Handling:
Of course, the Nikon ZF doesn't even have a grip to hold while the Canon R6 mark ii is a comfortable-to-hold camera. Still, I would rather use a Nikon 3rd party grip for the Nikon ZF combo as it feels much more balanced.
White balance:
The Nikon produces warmer images while the Canon produces cooler images. Which one you like, it is up to you. I like the images from the Canon while my wife like the images from the Nikon.
If it were me, I would go with the Nikon combo as I am a Nikon fanboy. The Canon combo is no slouch. I love the images out of the Canon combo and it was quite pleasing and sharp. You will not go wrong purchasing either of them. It is just your personal preference.
Weight info:
Nikon ZF: 710 grams
Nikkor 50mm F1.2Z: 1090 grams
Nikon Camera + Lens: 1800 grams
Canon R6 mark ii: 670 grams
Canon RF 50mm F1.2: 950 grams
Canon Camera + Lens: 1620 grams

#Nikon one 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey iam planning to buy nikon Zf for wedding photography what do you say about this or suggest me a better than this in the same price range.
Depends on what your focus (Photos or Videos) and lens selection is. Lens selection will heavily impact your decision.
If I were to plan on shooting wedding (photos) I would consider Sony for today.
There are some downsides on choosing ZF + Nikkor 50mm F1.2 for wedding photoshoot. Although it is great and balances well, I would rather choose it for a portrait shoot than wedding shoot. Yes, both are different. In portrait, you will have more freedom to plan your photos but in wedding, it's more of planning for the action. I wouldn't choose this combo. There are better options. I would go with Sony A7cii (/ used Sony a7iv) + Sigma / Sony 50mm F1.2 GM, as this will be a much better combo in terms of weight, handling and AF. If you fancy 24mm / 85mm focal lengths, Sony GM lenses are a much preferable options compared to Nikon ecosystem. Perhaps, if you want zoom lenses, Sony ecosystem offers 24-70mm F2.8 GMII. Or if you want to stick with Nikon, you may choose Z6ii / Z7ii used as they offer better handling to hold the heavier lenses throughout the day but the AF is not as good as Sony. Canon lenses, even though equally sharp, it is just as heavy as Nikon's. I wouldn't look into any other brands.
For Videos, I would consider Panasonic S5ii / S5iiX. Next option will be Sony A7iv used or a7Cii. Every camera in this price range have 4K 60FPS crop.
Nikon ZF, although is a great camera, I would never recommend it as the only camera to carry on a wedding photo / video shoot. It is highly capable but you can keep it as a B-cam.
Hope you can weigh the constraints on the wedding shoots and evaluate your buying decision.
Such a nikon fanboy 😏
Lol.. hahaa..
On 1:00 you can see the blotchy colour on your wife hands on the nikon side
I guess it is user error? I should've exposed it a bit darker.
The blotchiness because of multiple lights together. If it were exposed a bit darker, you will see the sources.
