    (1) The Nikon HD240p is better than Sony's...Sony is less than full HD and it shows.
    (2) The animal eye-detect in the Z6III isn't *quite* up to the dedicated bird detect mode of the Z8/Z9, unfortunately.
    (3) The waveform monitor is an option for video, but not stills...it's buried in the video settings.
    (4) If you shoot AF-C with AF-ON set to ONLY, you don't need to switch MF/AF -- when you want to AF just press the AF-On, and release it to stop AF and revert to MF. That stops the AF from hunting and lets you revert to MF immediately whenever required. Don't use AF-F unless you don't mind risking the AF hunting...which it absolutely will do if you give it a chance. Same goes with Sony and Canon, trust me.

    The process of creating their own glass from scratch sets Nikon apart from most other companies, giving them a significant advantage in producing professional grade optics. This level of control allows them to fine tune their lenses to a much higher level, particularly for focal lengths beyond 400 millimeters and below 20mm.

      @@marcotropic because it clearly hasn't really been a priority for them, until their latest 35 1.4, at least. For now, Nikon seems to be far more intrested in achieving the best optical quality for a given target weight and well.... it shows. Unlike Canon, who seem to have (initially at least) decided to go for as much compactness and lightness without compromising optics too much.

    • @albertjimenez7896
      @albertjimenez7896 5 месяцев назад

      @@marcotropic I appreciate your reply. Your question piques my interest since it leads to a lot of speculation. Nikon has continuously proven its competence in creating small lenses, despite the constraints of the older Nikon F mount. Despite the release of the smaller and faster Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm F/1.4 Lens, Nikon's choice not to develop further lenses of this kind has perplexed many people. This lens is much smaller than the 1.8 prime lenses, and primes beyond 300mm are extremely lightweight, adding to the confusion. The release of the Nikon Z 35mm F/1.4 Lens demonstrates Nikon's ability to develop small lenses for its Z series, perplexing those who are unfamiliar with Nikon.
      Furthermore, it appears that the larger lenses' purpose is to facilitate future updates and compatibility with new items or technologies. This would also allow for more sophisticated functions, such as enhanced focusing and image stabilization. The lens construction incorporates larger and more potent motors and electrical components. In addition, optical experts and nerds believe that the Nikon Z mount "S" pro lenses may also be intended for crop sensor medium format cameras. The resemblance in size between the Nikon Z mount and the medium-format 645 mount has sparked speculation that Nikon may have concealed intentions to produce a camera that extends beyond 35mm.
      Finally, I understand and share your preference for smaller lenses. However, the need for video has forced each company to increase the size of its optics, resulting in a change in the dynamics of photography, with both benefits and drawbacks since everything in the world of photography is a give and take.👍

    Nice review and footage Kasey! It would be nice if they did add mode change functionality to the rear thumb wheel - for example, pressing one of the front buttons on the grip and turning the rear wheel changes mode, and when the front button is released, it reverts to whatever the normal function would be usually shutter speed. They could probably implement that with a firmware update. It would be cool to do that without having to take your eye from the viewfinder, especially with a 600mm beast lens. Looking forward to the comparison with the Sony setup you mentioned.,

    Happy for you man. Nikon is a hard system to walk away from. I had to bite my lip allot with my Z6 when everyone including you made fun of it and Nikon. It was the underdog that got me to a professional level with wildlife nearly overnight. As for custom banks, I genuinely dug deep trying to find it for you. Most are posting videos for photo menu dives thus far unfortunately. Message from my friend I mentioned stated.. "Create a custom bank A, B, etc.. and assign one to 6K and the other to 1080p". I am sure this doesn't help you at the moment, but I wouldn't give up on it being in there. I was still finding useful settings I didn't know existed 3 years into using my Z6. BTW, not sure on that lens, but allot of Nikkor lenses have an AF/MF switch on the left side near the VR switch. Seeing as you have memory buttons at the front of your lens, I am pretty sure you have the works on that lens. Memory is also very useful to avoid af overiding your manual settings. Also look into af range limit or whatever Nikon calls it. Can be very useful if you're filming something at distance with objects closer to you that could potentially trip up the AF.

    Yeah at 1080p240 is is obviously skipping lines. I think a7s3 will win there. I have seen pretty decent footage of 40mpx fujis at 240fps though, I wonder, maybe they are skipping the same amount of lines as 26mpx sensors, but since higher resolution they are able to retain more details?? Side comparison would be something I would love to see.

    Adjusting the dial left handed looks like a tonne of leverage on the camera mount. I wouldn't want to do that with a lens that size. There's a reason you get collars on the big lenses. Not only do they weigh more than even a big heavy camera body but they stick out a foot or so and the actual force it exudes is orders of magnitude more than its actual weight.

    I only have the -180-600 z on a z 8 top tip never hit 600 stay at around 580 seems sharp most of the time . Do you use the Nikon app on your phone to connect camera . Helps with bird watching you can see more of what’s going on when sat down low . The best tip if you do connect your camera to the Nikon app and it informed me of an upgrade on the menu asked do I want it to down load … Yep… it instantly starts to down load it So easy . Same with the lens told me up date available. Fun video you do …. Just started on filming it’s a great way to enjoy the camera.

    I don't really mind the placement of the pasm dial on my z63 (but I might if I had a huge lens like the 600mm) but what I find incredibly annoying is that it's always locked. Like that's so beyond stupid. Like Fuji does, let ME decide if I want it locked or not!

In the rare cases you move the dials accidentally, it will happen in the camera bag or when you're fumbling around with the camera. It would never happen while shooting, besides, you would always see the mode you're in on the screen or evf so you can be "100% confident" on what mode you're in.
