Camera control board shouldn't report 65c in 8k recording. 

Imagine they release a firmware fix that removes their media alert limits. It will be the first official admission that they used cripple hammer. Its embarrassing either way. 

And work in harsh tropical conditions with very hard light, high temperatures and monsoon rains. Until now zero shutdown or any malfunctions. From all the Nikon bodies this is my most preferred body, at worst I keep it in its cage even for photos As I prefer a little bit larger bodies. Because it serves me so well in photos also even when I worked on Film set as set photographer, shooting between it and d810, I had no problem thinking I was looking in an actual viewfinder.
 
 
 

What I discovered is that most of camera reviewers are either incapable of distinguishing a high resolution image from lower detailed image, or just lie about that.  

And footnotes. 

Its also a journalism scandal.. among all those talking heads and early hands on public figures, only one guy tested it as a hybrid camera, which means combination of still and video shooting, in real world situation, and reporting any abnormal behavior of the device and answering people's questions with clear answers, politely. 

Almost nobody in its target customers buy that beast for video. And when it comes to still shooting there is no meaningful difference between D6 and 1DX. I don't know why you think every single camera that a camera maker releases should be a video workhorse. And a lot of video spec you assume "essential" is only appealing for a very small number of people. Honestly I've never heard a wedding photographer say "it would be nice if my camera had internal raw video recording". Most of them don't even know how to grade, and hate large files. I would instead bash Nikon for not offering cinematic picture profile, which is exactly what these people need. 

99.5% of people don't like a hefty heavy bulky camera. The public perception that a bigger camera take "pro" photos is already dying. And as someone who have seen many repair shops I assure you those attributes has nothing to do with "toughness" and durability. In fact in some cases Z6 internal components are more secured than D850. The only thing Zs needed was vertical grip which they gonna provide. Addressing dual slot also has no reason other than responding to internet hysteria.
But I agree with you about Z7 pricing. 

Its 2020 and we still beg camera makers to think more about practicality.

It puts buying the same lens twice because you forgot you already own it in the shade. That's for sure.
Good job the shop owner in Barcelona was an honest fellow, he could have played it to his advantage!
All the F1 stuff is done, and I've got race car fuel all over me... I am a bit combustable and face has gone red. That's what happens I guess when you have 150 laps each from 22 cars circling you for 3 days.
The GFX 100 is worth its weight in repeat lens purchases.
At least I can now stop buying cameras!
It's the end-game*

The only problem with 8k is codec. 

I've been playing around with it and can't fault it really. In fact for me, so far, it's been more reliable than Nikon's own FTZ adapter.
All my EF lenses have worked on it even old weird shit like Tokina 28-70 F2.6
It works well in video mode and has so far been far more reliable and bullet proof than Techart E-mount adapter for Nikon Z.



Going to continue to test but it looks like we did finally get that full frame 4K camera from Canikon.

Seems to get good reviews

"A must for colour blind photographers!"
Or colour blind cameras for that matter!

Must be some very wealthy sponsors involved, most artists I know don't have 1 million dollars a year to spend on stuff they don't actually need.
So if we are seeing extreme gentrification of the internet, with nothing but hipsters, then count me out.

Ha ha very nice Sony, now get back to work

Ironically I need AF in 60fps more than I need it in 24fps.

They had no clue its possible through HDMI, or worth the effort. It was Atomos idea. And S1H was developed long AFTER Atomos shared the idea with Panasonic. 

Adding a feature no other camera under $2000 has is not a disaster by any means. Because they did it finally:

Both the the delay and $200 fee is direct result of Apple-RED fight over that stupid patent, which didn't end up well for consumers. Bash Nikon for many mistakes they did that everything around was under their control. This one is not one of them.

Nope. The only advantage is that it doesn't need thick AA filter for native 4k, which is good thing. At 60mp, its not like real 60mp. HDR mode will look artifact free, but sacrifices resolution and noise performance. 

Is it your first day of visiting planet earth? 

Who are the judges? Can we ask them take an IQ test? Or maybe its too late for IQ test and we should consider MRI scan. I think some parts of their brain have serious issues.
