Chris looks like he’s finally living out his radio DJ dreams.
Love to see Petapixel invest in their content creation so strongly. Looking forward to see where this podcast goes!
I can rarely sit through an hour-long podcast for anything. But I found this to be quite interesting. Thanks.
Chris's room setup looks like he's going to do an unboxing for you today
Instead of Gerald... It's Chris Overdone
I can unbox things with multiple different colors in the background too! What color would you like for next week?

There are still tons of RUclipsrs for camera reviews but there is always something special about Chris and Jordan, in addition to their knowledge and experience, their voices are so comforting, now Jaron's also.
This is the best thing this week on RUclips. Nice to see you in a podcast
Well at lest the Death of DPreview triggered the creation of something absolutely brilliant. 🙏
It's great that you're doing a podcast. It's nice to see that Chris and Jordan are as witty and sharp minded as they appear in videos, also in more candid format like this. Jaron complements the duo well as a host, which is great. It's already starting very good and judging by how group podcasts tend to go, it will get even better as time goes. Nice!
...but please set your layout properly. Seeing PetaPixel logo off center in between frames triggered my OCD.
Awesome first podcast; I truly enjoyed it! Looking forward to seeing how this rolls out.
I loved the OM System partnership. And had no idea about their rugedness and testing process! Let them invite you on a tour or interview so we get to know more. I wish they catch up to the big brands in technology and capability. Would love to see x1 per brand video where you explain in a nutshell an overview of the different systems, including main bodies, lenses and adapters. You did a similar thing in a 1 hour podcast for another channel. And I absolutely loved this format. You three have a great bond, and it's a pleasure to listen to in a more free and less scripted format. Grab a beer next time or do it at an outdoor bbq etc. :) - have fun whilst recording the podcast.
So grateful to see a podcast with you guys! Brings me joy!
I’m usually skeptical of sponsored content but this is good! Also kudos for landing OM Systems as your sponsor. Have high hopes from them after the fabulous 90 mm macro.
Great to see PetaPixel continuing to expand to new media! Just subscribed to the podcast and gave it a 5-star review
Yay, thank you!
Great show guys. Very informative and humorous! I recently got an OM1, so good to hear the Chris uses one too. Good luck with Fuji 🤔. looking forward to your next show. Best wishes to you all. 👍
Nicely done guys. I look forward to the next one and kudos to how you treat your sponsor. I still have big hopes for a micro 4/3.
Welcome to the podcast world! Excited for this guys! Great first episode! Also, sponsored by OM Systems!? How did you land that??! Lol
I hope this is a regular treat!! Great episode!
Enjoying the relaxed and very informative format. There are other important perspectives beside price point and feature lists.
This was a very entertaining and informative podcast. For the first one you guys were pretty darn relaxed. Hope you keep it going.
Didn't know I needed a photography podcast in my life. Good move 👌
Great podcast, guys! Looking forward to the next one
Niiiiiice! A new addition to my favorite podcasts!
that intro is actually very cool lol
Love the podcast. Looking forward to more.
Loved the podcast!! Can't wait for the next one 🙂
Can you guys please review diffusion filters? There are so many different brands now that it's hard to decide which one would work. Is it possible that you guys review the Tiffen Black Pro Most and the Moment Cinebloom filters?
Great podcast!
Canon put chips in their printer carts so you cannot use 3rd. part ink.
The intro is amazing!
Well done. And so few comments still, just living thru the birth of a future legend podcast :)
Entertaining and informative. Good first show
Wanted this for many years!! Also: THANK YOU for timestamps!
Yes finally a podcast!
That was an outstanding presentation! My interest was held from beginning to end. Hats off to all three commentators!
One more thing: it’s a Z not not a Zed. Ha! Ha!
Really appreciate that you mark all different news in the timeline! Keep it on
I really enjoyed this podcast, please keep them coming. In regards to the Nikon Z 8, as a D750 user, it finally made sense to me to purchase it. Nikon had lost sales to Fuji (X-T5) and Panasonic (G9) during my hiatus. I love to shoot wildlife but the Z 9 was way too big and the Z 6/Z 7 underwhelmed me. I LOVE my X-T5 and the portability of the G9 but really look forward to using Z 8.
Please go through Jorden's video setup, his quality looks amazing! I would love to know what camera he is using, lens, lighting, and how it is connected.
I used the Sony ZV-E1 in 1080/30P webcam mode. Lens was a Sigma 28-70mm F2.8 @ F4. Mic is the Sennheiser Profile USB, and lighting was an Aputure Amaran 200X with a big-ass softbox.
Worth mentioning that the camera did overheat as we were wrapping up, so I'd expect a new setup next week.

@@PetaPixel thanks!!
Great to see Chris and Jordan doing live chat again a bit like the camera store days , roll on more petapixel pod casts
Thoroughly enjoyed this video! 😎👍🏻
Great idea to make a podcast! I had the impression that - at least on the ios podcast - the voices of Jordan and Chris were different to in the videos. But maybe it's my brain that has to adjust to not seeing your faces 🤷🏽♂️ Anyways, GREAT stuff and looking forward to your xs-20 review ;-)
Jordan & Chris, thanks for the air pollution!
Some funny and interesting content here, thanks guys
“It’s a rig-a-marole!” 👌
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always 👍🤗
Very interesting discussions. I never had any trouble with third party batteries in Fujifilm and Olympus cameras. However, since moving to Leica, I stick to their own batteries, despite the cost. Part of the reason is that third party batteries to fit most Leicas aren't readily available from makers that I trust and have used before.
A podcast!? Lovely.
Fujifilm already saying there might be delays on the X-S20. They only seemed to send out cameras to small channels early. I’m thinking about preordering one as a X-S10 owner. I hope you do a review at some point
I'd love to see Chris with his room lights set to green
That's one vote pink and one vote green.
Maybe just a tad on the long side but great content and thoroughly enjoyable.
Much better than Sharkey James. I've been waiting for something like this. Thank you.
I gave this a thumbs up.
Great trio vlog, would like to see Jordan help out the other boys with their colour science on camera, Jordan looks fantastic.
Just listened to the podcast, love to know you read *all* the comments. 😉
I’d love to see a video covering your storage workflow. Do you always shoot videos direct in-camera to SD / CF Express cards, or also on external recorders like the Ninja V+?
Do you then transfer footage to internal storage on your MacBook, or an external USB drive for editing?
Once you’ve shot and edited an episode, what do you do with the original footage? Is it transferred to external SSDs, hard drives or even tape?
Do you only keep a copy of the final edit or all the raw footage?
Thank you guys, I was informed and entertained!
Jorden, Your shot is how I wanted to look in my work meetings. Casual news guy. I've never seen it done to perfection like you did here, outside of a studio. Now I can stop trying to figure it out. Sorry too perfect for my face, not that YOU didn't pull it off.
Chris, Canary Yellow. We all know Jorden set up your podcast camera.
Jaron, nice to meet you. You look normal.
Jordan did not set up my podcast camera.
this is awesome, also chris's set is very nice, is he running his own youtube studio on the side? lol.
I just wanted a dedicated workspace for the show, and of course to elevate any zoom calls!!😂
Thank you for posting. The big elephant in the room (besides the price), which was glossed over during the presentation, is a battery life of 2 hours.
Would love to have the index available in my podcast app (pocket casts). It's a bit long of a format and I am not equally interested in every topic. But doing mini-episodes for each topic may not be the best for other listeners. Not sure what the solution is, just raising the issue. Does anyone know of a podcast app (say for Android) that provides an index of topics in a podcast and the ability to select one or skip to it?
Thanks for the suggestion. We'll add in at least a timestamp index so you can jump around in whatever app or platform you use to listen.
Jordan and Chris should have their own company, be their own bosses.
Photography market is being eh, mmmmm, problematic right now
I never thought I would say this, but this is better than DP review content.
Enjoyed the chat about Macs. I have a pc and use Lightroom Classic (stills only no video) and am wondering if a MacBook Air with 8G of ram will run it ok? Finding new Nonoise brutally slow on my Dell Laptop. Thanks!
Let’s get an Apple Vision Pro / Fujifilm X-S20 review.
Excellent podcast
I still have my Mac Mini M1 and I edit in Prores Raw all good
GREAT!!! Another podcast to listen to!
I'm glad about Nikon.. I love their equipment AND hate to be ripped off.
I bought 2 Watson EL15c recently from B&H as that page on the site said they were compatible with my Z8. When I placed & tried both in the battery compartment without turning on the camera I got a non-compatible screen warning. I sent them back to B&H in exchange for the Nikon OEM 15C. Live & learn😒
I'm curious if the Z8 is somehow more sensitive to this battery issue? I've used third party and Nikon batteries with my Z7 and never have an issue.
I think it has more to do with the fact that the Z 8 is a 8K camera, that is expected to get a little hot.
Lithium batteries don't like hot.
It is not like they will burn, but there is a chance of them expanding i volumen.
Not a good thing inside a camera.
Also, the "I never had an accident. Why should I wear a seat belt?" is a known fallacy.
Just saying 🙂
Blocking 3rd party, no matter if batteries or lenses, is plain bullshit.
Is that not considered a monopoly?
Depends if they have a patent
Good podcast… My only gripe is when people say that a certain computer is overkill. It’s never overkill. Unless your grandma. Imagine buying a Tesla and you can never go over 60 miles an hour. And you said to yourself - well, I’m never gonna drive over 60 miles an hour. That’s complete BS. I have the top-of-the-line Mac Studio ultra… And I don’t regret a single moment. And when I need the power, it’s there!
I am so glad you guys are doing a podcast. There isn’t really a good photography podcast out there.
The only one that actually needed introduction was not introduced. Lol. Anyway, I like this format!
A MacBook Air (13 or 15) question: is the base 8 GB RAM model good enough for a photographer using LR or Capture One (Fujifilm X-T5 compressed Raw) or should I upgrade to 16 GB? (currently using M1 iPad Air)
Good question Michael - my thoughts are, yes it would be fine enough initially - however as the months and years go by the software you are using will become more powerful and nuanced - thereby slowing “older” machines. This must be is occurring now with your current Mac or you’d not be considering moving up.
In short, consider a few years out and add as many upgrades as you can afford with memory, drive space and processor. For example, the base MacMini is good value today but would be a good workhorse in a few years, I think not - and logically speaking - it can’t be.
The other consideration, a higher specked Mac will sell more easily.
Why do you need to upgrade a practically new computer? Keep your current computer for at least 5 or more years. I still have my 2009 MacBook Pro. I added more RAM 8gb then a 1 tb hard drive. Recently I had to replace the battery.
@@bngr_bngr I don't have a computer right now, just an iPad Air. It's great in many respects but not for extended editing or culling.
Really enjoy the Q&A segments of "Never Read the Comments."
It's too bad that OM System doesn't still make and sell the Pen F. That was a cool camera.
I have been waiting for your Fujifilm xs20 review as well. I saw hundreds of small channels reviewing it so I am very surprised and suspicious why you didn't get it? I have noticed all videos taken with it have very distinctive pink tint on faces. Photos look very good but this pink faces stop me from even considering it. They say Fujifilm has great colours and 19 film simulations. Maybe, but I want just one picture profile in which my face looks like human face not Barbie. I might go to the camera shop to try it out as I love the form factor and 6k open gate. My first digital camera was Fujifilm point and shoot so I am not prejudiced. I have canon M50 and I am used to realistic colours on my face. I don't think it's too much to ask. If I want create artistic portraits than it's fine.
Re: "The track record on 3rd party batteries is pretty good", that's not really that simple, or simply not true. I bought 3rd party batteries and they didn't preform well. The seemed fine at first, but then they would die out of the blue and only last half or less of the time an original battery will normally last. I'm on Canon and Panasonic cameras. I have Canon batteries that are 10yo and still use with very small performance decline. My third party batteries were all under different brands, not fake Canon or Panasonic.
Oh hell yes! Strap in folks! An hour of PetaPixel Goodness? Yes please!
This was a really enjoyable podcast. Chris, i recommend changing your colors to match the episodes sponsor's colors so as to keep that money rolling in. Looking forward to the next episode and seeing Petapixel thrive as so many photocentric media companies are disappearing.
What even is OM Systems company colours? I feel like I should know.
@@niccollsvideo Black, unfortunately 🤣
@@thomasa.243 I'll just pretend they still use Olympus blue. Then Chris kicked off the the episode with the right colours.
@@jeffreywrightphotography Ah, yes. Loved that Blue and "Sun-yellow" colour combination. OM System is a bit boring in comparison and unfortunately they were not able to get the name "Olympus" for "personal image and video capturing devices".
Ouch, the Apple Headset is way too expensive...
was that a lytro in the opening cartoon?
At 42min, yes, the “new” Mac Pro does seem confusing, but I think it’s still the “same” top performance Mac Pro. As long as you consider the (rumored) Apple Silicon hierarchy of chips: 2x Max -> Ultra, (rumored) 2x Ultra -> Extreme chips. The problem appears to be that the M1 UltraFusion crossbar did not fulfill its duties and became a performance bottleneck for the Ultra, and given that technical glitch and shortcoming, Apple was no longer in any engineering/marketing position to release the double-crossbar required for their (rumored) 4x Extreme chip. I.e., the Mac Pro has no M1 Extreme nor any M2 Extreme chip to boost its performance above and beyond the Mac Studio. Given that situation, I am happy and proud for Apple to have released the M2 Ultra Mac Studio alongside the hobbled Mac Pro, despite the marketing confusion/backlash, because it enables the rest of us to get a tuned up Mac Studio.
This theory about the Mac Pro going beyond the “same” should bear fruit when the 3nm M3 (?) Apple Silicon arrives, I hope. If the M2 UltraFusion crossbar overcomes the M1 Ultra GPU performance bottleneck, then Apple engineering will (in theory) have what they need to design double-crossbar (ExtremeFusion?) Apple Silicon. So for the next generation 3nm Mac Pro, we should see a machine that doubles the performance of the Mac Studio, assuming the NG Mac Studio does not also sport a M3 Extreme Apple Silicon as well (I am guessing not).
On a further note, that NG (hypothetical) 3nm Extreme chip will (according to rumors) have revised GPUs with ray tracing, more RAM (guessing: Ultra 192GB->256GB?), faster design CPU/GPU/NE for performance boost, faster performance (5nm -> 3nm), and lower power, lower heat. The upcoming iPhone 15 will presumably demonstrate the benefits of the 3nm process. For the NG Mac Pro, an NG Extreme chip will have 2x Ultra estimated 256GB memory. So the NG Mac Pro with 512GB will be at 1/3 the 1.5TB of the outgoing Intel Mac Pro. That extra memory will bring the NG Mac Pro much closer to the workload of the outgoing Intel RAM-wise, as well as raising the bar for all the AI LLM hotness going forward.
So despite current Gen1 appearances, I think the Apple Silicon Mac Pro will still retain a unique spot in the line up as the top performer, and for more than the niche the current “confusing” Mac Studio par configuration demonstrates. Fingers crossed.
Leaf shutter is one of the main reasons I bought the Q2
Hello Jaron 😁
I’d love your opinion on AI tools and photography competitions. At what point does something stop being a photo and become something else?
Stupid Nikon, first encrypted White Balance, now this? Nice podcast, thanks! :-)
I do not completely agree with Chris at 1:00:10 when he says that "[The Z8] isn't like the D700"
The Z8 is VERY much like the D700, in almost all aspects.
Both the D700 and the Z8 are just smaller versions of their flagship counterparts released about a year prior (D3 and Z9), with still a pretty high pricepoint and a very profesionnal target audience (From Nikon themselves about the D700: it was supposed to be a better secondary camera to a pro shooting a D3 that didn't want to have to pay for a second one, kinda replacing the D300 in that role).
I might add that the D700's pricepoint was 3000 USD, which is like 4100 USD adjusted for inflation, not too different from the Z8's pricepoint today.
I agree about the D750 though. It was their cheapest full frame camera at the time they released it, taking the steps of the D600 and D610 before, those were very much mid range cameras intended for everyone.
Never mind the Z8. The Z5 does more than most amateur photographers need.
This sounds more like Chris and Jordan are being interviewed by a 3rd party than an actual podcast. We need it to be like their year-end drunken wrap-ups where they let loose and are their real selves!
That's fair. I would definitely like to bring some of the annual best/worst flavor into the show. We record these in the morning but it's happy hour somewhere right!
Give it time.
Maarten Heilbron from RUclips who does wonderful in detail reviews, including many Fuji cameras recently pulled the plug because he could not get hold of product to review, what I have noticed is that so many big retailers (who camera companies have to look after) have gone the RUclips route like Camera Store did years ago. and have growing channels. so I just dont think you can take your brand for granted in this medium , camera companies are spending their launch Budgets carefully, the Pana S5 2 went to very cherry picked reviewers, some not the biggest RUclipsrs and had the camera to use as long as they were making content on it, Jared Polin did not get on.!
Channels with 100 subscribers getting a review copy is ridiculous.
PetaPixelPodcast... that's a lot of plosives.
I'm gonna add PowerParty to the end of that
Hi from Turkey
Battery blocking: 1) A run away Li battery is unstoppable for normal people as not many people/places have type D extinguisher (only way to stop a metal fire). Just look back at the Samsung Note 7 incident to know why we can't ship Li battery in checked luggage, and our power banks must be
Love it love it! Is there an RSS for podcast apps anywhere?
Here you go! anchor.fm/s/e3085708/podcast/rss
You could increase your audience if you offered an easy way to download an mp3 file. I gave up on this podcast because youtube is not a medium for audio podcasts, and your alternative podcast options only offer .mp4 files.
You're absolutely right and that will be fixed in next week's episode.
@@PetaPixel Give me a mp3, and you will get a lifetime listener. Mono, 44.1 files are best, but I'll take any mp3 available.
My Z5 is very picky with 3rd party batteries.
My Z6 will reject older 3rd party batteries, but most will work.
My D600 will take any 3rd party en-el15 I throw in it.
I've also got a 3rd party AC adapter that works with the D600/Z6, but the Z5 gives the same "unrecognized battery" error. (at least the Z5 can take a USB power bank)
I'm for gen AI and if you post something in the public space, it's fair game. As long as the results are transformative
I’d buy Nikon factory batteries if they still sold them for my camera.
which camera?
The headset will not replace a monitor, the whole display is 2160p, so you're not getting 4k resolution on a simulated monitor, text will have to be much larger
If Nikon, Canon, Sony, etc just charged reasonable margins on their batteries and accessories rather than gouge as hard as they can, it wouldn't be so terrible.
Great to have more of you guys! Love it! A little constructive feedback: I know taking sponsorships is important to make this financially viable, but I would encourage PetaPixel to avoid sponsorships from the brands who’s products are amongst those regularly being reported on/reviewed.
“Independent news outlet” is at odds with “accepting money from camera manufacturers”. Whether conscious or unconscious, humans are incredibly susceptible to bias.
PetaPixel is obviously aware of the value of independence as a source of social currency, so perhaps avoiding camera manufacturer sponsorships as sources of direct revenue would be better in the long run to preserve audience trust?
Thanks for the feedback! We do have this rule in place when it comes to review content. We are very strict with our reviews process and the editorial wall we have there. Additionally, the writing and reviews team do not have any interaction with the sales process.
😴
It's terrifying that Bebop spun off and shuttered all these companies to grab one magazine. Capitalism at its worst, destroying useful information and careers to position one already rich company slightly better.
Nikon should have told people... I was thinking of buying a new Nikon cameras and this lack of transparency just stopped Me from making that purchase.
Is it Apple headset compatible with wearing glasses?
It's not compatible with glasses. There are special additional ZEISS optical inserts for vision correction for those who need it.
