I really love the shot at 4:45 - beautiful glassy reflection off the right of the world trade center, and the boat neatly crossing the light patch in the hudson. I also like what you did with the warm edit.
Amazing! I’m saving up to purchase a Z6II and I can definitely say that the comprehensive videos you’ve done on the Z system have helped to make me more sure of my decision. Loving the videos!
I just tried the a7IV, a7RIV, R6, GFX50Sll, Z6ll and the Z7ll few days ago when I was deciding what to buy. I loved the GFX50Sll the most but the GFX50Sll would just break my bank, especially with how expensive lenses are for that camera... The next camera I loved the most or I should say two cameras, were the Z6ll and Z7ll. Absolutely amazing, although I wish they had better Eye/Face AF, other than that I have zero complaints! I was constantly eyeballing the new a7IV because of the Eye/Face AF but I realized that I won't be needing it that much anyway, so I ended up with the Z7ll and am now waiting for it to arrive! Got a grip, two additional batteries, 35, 50 and 85 with it and I'm now debating whether or not to spend my money on the 70-200! :D! If I had went with the GFX50Sll, I would have money only for 1 lens and that's it...
In my opinion there is currently no real reason (SD card maybe) to go for a version 2. Get a used Z 6 I. It's a steal with the newest firmware. Spend the saved money for lenses.
I've had my Z7 since Late December 2018, I think I'd started to take the image quality for granted - These shots are incredible and totally show off the richness the Z7 brings to an image. I tend to shoot landscapes, time for me to find a nice cityscape! Thanks for the inspiration Omar, it's a priceless gift, and you have given it freely 🙌🙌
Ohh so happy you got a Z7 too. Ive been a big fan of yours cause of the fuji stuff but i recently sold my xt4 and went with the Z7, no regrets so far and now that my fave channel is rocking a z7 too is double good news for me!
Fantastic city scapes Omar. I don't know what I liked better, the amazing photos or the super smooth background music! Keep up the good work, you're videos are always compelling.
First high MP camera was the D810, then added the Z6 (gen 1) and fell in love with it, added a z7 (gen 1) and really enjoy all three now. The Z's do leave the D810 wanting sometimes, but what a great trilogy of cameras.
Hello Omar. Thanks for sharing the pictures. I also went not too far from where you was in Hoboken and took some wonderful pictures with my Z7 back on October of 2020. I hand the Z 24-70 at the time and did two panoramas. The NYC skyline is an awesome sight. Keep safe.
Great shots! I replaced the d810 by a z7 and couldn't be happier with the image quality, video capability, ergonomic and image sharpness. Also, eye focus for portraits works really well in the current firmware. Great ROI if purchased used.
Thank you Omar for this night seen !!! From Lourdes France ! I just remember me with my family visiting NY and the twins in 1982 , when I see you your face a bit anxious and interrogative , I have a 40 years flash back ... I appreciate your humorous job !
Just Wow....... These images are Amazing bro... Great job 👌👍 This video is quite inspiring. I too have the z6ii and the D810... but If I'm being honest... using the mirrorless system has spoiled me. I now find it hard to use the DSLR as my backup for higher resolution, and I've been weighing on whether to get the z7 or z7ii
Omar, my whole family has been hit with the stomach bug, but your video brought me some Joy and peace. Absolutely relaxing seeing you work this magic, delivering stunning pics. I jokingly called you Fujidaddy, but don't take it too personal. I love how you raised my interest about Nikon :) keep rocking, you are awesome!
I just ordered the Z7. I was torn between it and the new Sony A7IV but I have been a loyal Nikon shooter for years and just could not jump ship. I figured the New 3.40 Firmware update will make the Z7 focus right on par with the Sonys now... Great Video!! You got a great sense of Humor. Keep it up!!
Really enjoyed this video, and I felt your pain about the noisy traffic at the beginning! All the shots were cool, but those evening shots were killer, especially the wide-angle and panoramic shots.
Hello, Omar. Impressive pictures. I like the boats in the composition, they add a lot. Maybe it was just me, or youtube pixelation, but I got a impression the sensor needed cleaning. I guess I saw some stains at 4:51 .Amazing shots, bro.
Wow they look amazing! I’m happy to have found your channel. Makes me want to get out, so much to learn and I love cityscapes, especially at night. I have to go to NY again!
Love the colours in that low-light cityscape at 5:57 Omar. I did notice that your camera sensor may have some dust spots on it-I saw them on a few images.
Ahh that ISO 64 on the Z7. What a great thing to have and if I’m not mistaken, then only mirrorless out of the big 3 and Fuji that can go that low. I’m sure that Z7 slowly become your favorite. I regret not getting it over the Z6 for my wife.
@@ogonzilla luckily she’s content with the Z6 now, saying she only shoots once in a while compared to me, which is weekly. If she shot much more, that would be a different story with a completely different camera system for her liking.
Hi Omar! Been watching your videos for several years now and love the spirit and openness of your presentation. These pix of the New York skyline are wonderful!! Keep shooting and telling us about it!!
Omar, these are incredible images. I am about to drop the hammer. I’m just trying to decide on a 7 or 7II. It’s so hard and these beautiful images make it even harder!
Congrats on the new camera Omar. Nice photos, but since we are pixel peeping here I think the sensor of that camera needs cleaning. A lot of dust can be seen on some images 😉
First Z camera was the 7, added the 6II for the speed. Before that I got a Z50 because I wanted a cheaper camera for the motorcycle - and it has the same pixel density as the Z7. So much easier to walk around with, I get some good shots just because I have it in hand. Check for the latest firmware updates.
Got to agree with other comments, Absolutely Stunning photos, great camera the Z7, wonder if the Z7 II is better. You nail it every time, got to be my favourite RUclips photographer with a bit of humour thrown in. 📸📸👍👍👍👍
Holy smokes, that's insane! Beautiful shots Omar! Keep 'em coming... since traveling abroad is no option for me at the moment I'm quenching my travel thirst with such beautiful videos as yours.
Thanks Omar. Useful video which helped me decide to buy a used Z7 last month as a 2nd camera for safari to pair with my Z6ii. Intended to sell it on after, but now I'm selling the Z6ii and keeping the Z7 !! -love the detail and cropping ability of the higher pixel sensor giving more composition flexibility. After previously owning a Z6 on older firmware and 'upgrading' to a Z6ii in early '21, then going back and seeing what firmware v3.4 did to the old Z6/7 cameras AF shows me I should have stuck with original Z6. The difference in pixel count between 6 and 7 is much more useful than the AF differences between versions I (v3.4) and II (v1.4) -in my opinion. Only significant downside to Z7 over Z6 is less high ISO headroom..
It's a pleasure to follow your channel. Always happy when new content from you shows up. Humor and great visual art. I also have that combo - Z6ii and Z7. Greetings from Denmark
You should expose as far to the right as possible. As long as you’re not clipping any highlights, you can bring all that detail and colour in the sky back. And your shadows will be a lot cleaner as a result too. The more light hitting the sensor, (without clipping) the better. Great shots! :)
I usually dont like vlogs. But this was really good. Maybe because it was a calm approach instead of screaming into the camera what an awesome day it is and so on.
Hey Omar, thank you for these insights. And especially thank you for showing your location on the map along with the brief journey into the history, it feels good to be heard :-) And it was entertaining and interesting at the same time.
I enjoy this nikon content. Just more of the same thought process. One of my camera buddies shoots nikon, so it's interesting to see your point of view on it as well. I also am in jersey, I have a bunch of different fuji lenses than you do, if you ever want to try one out. Itd be neat to meet you. Keep up the great work, I rarely miss a video.
Great video my friend! I recently sold my Z7ii seeing as I purchased the Z9. Wish I would’ve known you were in the market for one, would’ve sold ya mine 😂 Anyhow, again, great vid. Keep up the great work my friend.
as a Fuji XT4 shooter, and one who doesn't want to leave Fuji, I've considered getting a Nikon Z7ii or possibly even the Z9, but really want to see what Fuji releases this year. Safe to say Fuji's AF will probably be improved and maybe there'll be a stacked sensor even, but it still may not hang with a Z9 or the other Sony/Cannon stuff that's going on
My eyesight is not what it used to be, so I've decided to sell my DSLR Nikon equipment for their Z system. My goal is quicker focus on portraits (i.e., kids and dogs) Is the Z7ii a good choice or should I bite the bullet and get the Z8? Thank you for all you do. I no longer buy new gear without consulting your channel. Keep up the great work!
Welcome to the Z7. You will not be sorry. It's so sad how all the fake news bad press about Nikon when these cameras were released hurt them for so long. Glad you like it. I've been shooting mine since the beginning of the Z system and wouldn't shoot anything else (I mean unless you handed me a Hassy X1d). And the nIkon glass, its just so good... I have been shooting mine on my RUclips channel for 3 years. It's so worth it.
Makes the pictures a bit soft. I had a D7200 (without AA) and the pictures are sharper compared to my Z6. You can see the differences at DPReview. Z7 vs Z6 pictures.
Really well done. I am surprised by how much that skyline has changed over the last 50 years or so. Could say the same about many cities worldwide of course. Just getting older…
This was amazing. Makes me wanna go out and shoot today. But we have a lot of COVID cases here right now, so I'm stuck watching videos.. which is still good. Lol
I have the z50 & z7 But I hope Nikon brings a new z model in the future, with the Quality in brightness in the dark like the z6, but in the same 45mp, and higher iso reachable.
Wow man. beautiful images. that one with the stadium in the foreground is masterful. that sensor is awesome!
Incredible sensor. Saw your owl video today. Z6II is insane
I really love the shot at 4:45 - beautiful glassy reflection off the right of the world trade center, and the boat neatly crossing the light patch in the hudson. I also like what you did with the warm edit.

I can see my building in a few of your photos 😊
Fantastic city scapes Omar. I don't know what I liked better, the amazing photos or the super smooth background music! Keep up the good work, you're videos are always compelling.
I have owned Z7ii since it's release. Stunning coming from XT-2 for landscape photography amazing camera.
I'm considering selling my Fuji gear (XT-3) for this.
This is around where I live, nothing more inspiring than waking up in the morning and see this on your way to work. Also the camera is amazing

Love my Nikon Z 7, too. Use it also for wildlife and macro beside my Z 6 I and II. Amazing dynamic range and resolution in lower ISO.
Incredible. Can’t wait for a wildlife test.
Hi Omar! Been watching your videos for several years now and love the spirit and openness of your presentation. These pix of the New York skyline are wonderful!! Keep shooting and telling us about it!!

Very nice, but you need to get 24-120mm F4s for those things, amazing lens.
Omar, these are incredible images. I am about to drop the hammer. I’m just trying to decide on a 7 or 7II. It’s so hard and these beautiful images make it even harder!
I just dropped the hammer on a Z7. with the new 3.40 firmware update i figured no need for the Z7ii. It will be here friday. I can't wait!!!
@@HighTones I owned the Z7 since it came out, I was going to drop it but with FW 3.4 I'm in love. It's like having a new camera
@@gabrielesartori3308 that’s great news! Makes the anticipation even greater!! 😀

This, one of the slower things I was to realise moving from dslr to mirrorless.
I'm looking forward to your comparison between the Z6ii and Z7 and when you prefer to use one over the other.
You showed us the best feature of the Z7. Thank you!
I usually dont like vlogs. But this was really good. Maybe because it was a calm approach instead of screaming into the camera what an awesome day it is and so on.
Thank you very much for all of your great content! You have quickly become one of my favorite photo reviewers!

Yes, I did enjoy this video Mr. Omar! Nice scenery, thanks for sharing.
Breathtaking shots.

That shot with the tennis courts in the lower third is amazing!
Man, makes me want to go back to Nikon.
Only if they had made the z6 a year earlier or so.
Great video Omar keep up the good work. Nice watching you . Wow
OMG I live in NY Westchester County, and I was looking for a pretty chill spot to take a photo of the NYC. Great stuff 👍
Wow!! Nikon should slip you a few bucks for that ad! Those are amazing images.

@@ogonzilla yeah im definitely waiting for fuji summit this may I guess it is, to find out what is coming out on the gfx line as well!

Starting strong on the videotitles to grow your channel.;-) Great video, for some reason I got inspired to do some cityscapes.
My Z7ii is about a week away! Already have the 24-70mm f/2.8. Can’t wait to start mating them!
Get ready for super sharp goodness.
Love my Z7 and love your night shots of Manhattan, stunning

Best image quality I’ve seen besides the GFX100s
@@ogonzilla Word…
the resolution on that sensor dust is fantastic!
That’s what I was going for. #art
Another awesome video Omar, think I spotted some dirt on the sensor , top left in the sky.
Discovered that as well. Cleaning needed
Beautiful. Congrats on your new Z7 (Well, used). They say Z7 does not have the AA filter in it like the Z6ii. Whatever that means. Fine shots anyway.
Makes the pictures a bit soft. I had a D7200 (without AA) and the pictures are sharper compared to my Z6. You can see the differences at DPReview. Z7 vs Z6 pictures.
Great vid. So, you recommend the Z7 I’m guessing. I’m buying one tomorrow.
As someone famous would say it's absolutely stunning!
Thanks!
Love those images. Miss the city
Great pics and video. Looking forward to you doing this with the 100-400 someday!
Amazing shots! (From my heart)
Gary Hershorn shoots from around that spot and he just got that reverse Manhattanhenge shot this week. He's really good.
Your night shots are epic
Fantastic photos, Omar!
Really well done. I am surprised by how much that skyline has changed over the last 50 years or so. Could say the same about many cities worldwide of course. Just getting older…
Love your NYC shoots. Those shots look great even on utube. So, next fall we see the vid with you holding up a used Z9?
That resolution is fascinating ! Makin me druel for a z7. So how much 4k video can you get on a 128gb card? Thanks for such inspiration
This was amazing. Makes me wanna go out and shoot today. But we have a lot of COVID cases here right now, so I'm stuck watching videos.. which is still good. Lol
I have the z50 & z7
But I hope Nikon brings a new z model in the future, with the Quality in brightness in the dark like the z6,
but in the same 45mp, and higher iso reachable.
Delish was the word that came to mind after seeing those pics.
Oh man. Super delish. Thanks for watching!!
