- This week I’m out doing some Bird Photography with the Nikon Z30. This budget mirrorless camera is not the first camera that might spring to mind when considering photographing birds and wildlife, but I wanted to set myself a challenge! Find out how I got on with this tiny, viewfinder-less camera!

Great morning and some pretty stunning images I'd say. I do find those screens a bit hard to see in the sunlight...but it could be these old eyes of mine too! lol Have yourself a fantastic week!!
No, not just you Bruce, I think they're not bright enough to compete with really sunny conditions. Thanks for watching, have a good one. 😊
@@Robert-Bishop I didn't find any issue in very bright condition
Great stuff bro, always watch and support your content..as you know
It's much appreciated too, cheers mate. 😊
Thanks for your input. My mind is set on the z30. i need it for portraiture and for general photography.
Great. I think it's a very capable camera for most applications, hopefully it works well for you. 😊
I use a Z7 and Z30 which is used as a backup/ small carry around. Never been brave enough to use it for bird photography so well done for getting such great shots. I keep forgetting it hasn't got a viewfinder and end up missing the shot. Great little camera though. Out of respect I replaced stupid with brave 😊
Thanks Alan - yeah, the one benefit of not having the viewfinder is how easy it is to slip it into a pocket and carry around. As they say, the best camera is the one you have with you!
Lovely❤️ i'm thinking about getting this little camera for nature photography 🙈
Great - I hope you get some good results. Thanks for watching. 😊
Once again nice video Robert, that looks like a great lens and the camera performed to the best results it could. I am very pleased with Nikon Z6 and just testing the Z24-200mm Nikon lens which I think is great. 🐕👍
Many thanks John. Yeah, the 24-200 is superb. I need to try the 28-400 now! Cheers for watching. 😊
Does the standard lens got a good zoom,i mean i dont wanna pay for another lens. Maybe a bridge camera will be better ,Canon powershot sx70 ,what do you think ? 😮
It's usually bundled with a 16-50 compact zoom lens. It depends what subjects you want to capture - if it's anything at distance I would suggest something else. The 18-140 or 50-250 would be more versatile for example. I only use Nikon, so can't help with the other brands I'm afraid. I hope you find something that suits your needs. 😊
Always dangerous territory buying a camera that does both video and stills. I have done this a couple of times now 😂. Sad news on the zv1 but the Nikon looks like it gives great results, I hope the video is as good as the stills. The buzzard shot was great considering this was released as a vlogging camera. (PS those swans were geese).
Haha, I know. I only realised when Andrea was watching it last night. I'd not had a coffee by that point! 😄 The ZV-1 just seems to have become hyper sensitive to light - it blows out in even a small amount of it - even at narrow apertures with the ND on. 🤷🏼♂️ Thanks for watching.
A great challenge Robert and you managed some good images with that set up ! Will you use the Z30 handheld or on a gimbal for footage? Schoolboy errors always the curse , if it's not firmware it's batteries or SD cards !! All the best and take care - see you on the 13th - no wait the 27th ;)
Cheers Andrew. We have a gimbal, but it's about 4 times the size of the camera, so we don't often take it. We'll just be using lenses with VR I think - and it does also have an electronic VR mode too, if we really need it. Yep, 27th now - calendar error! 😄
Teleconverter work with dx body? Can u share the one u use?
Yeah, works fine. I was using the Nikon TC-14E II. Thanks for watching. 😊
