Danyyyel got a reaction from ArashM in Nikon Zr is coming
The more I think about this, the more I think it is a confusion between the release two days ago of the Silver ZF and that ZR cameras. No one predicted the Silver ZF and it is the only camera in the Nikon lineup that has a combination of SD and Micro SD card. It is too much coincidence, they must have mixed from their source. The likes of "Hey Nikon has a next camera with have SD and Micro SD, and it was the Silver ZF". For those that don't know the Nikon lineup. The Nikon Zf is a retro style FF photo camera that was in black only. And Nikon just this week, released a Silver version out of nowhere.

Canon Should try any current Lumix camera for hand held IBIS work. They are very good and there is a good portion of what I shoot now where I don't have to be on a gimbal!

Car wobble can be prevented by IBIS lock. Most of the heat comes from CPU and CFe cards, not sensor.

How is this marketed as a hybrid when its C line and the teaser today show it on sticks with a top handle on a film set? For all we know this won't even do stills like all the other Cxx/Cxxx. That would be ultimate cripple hammer lol.
This is clearly an FX3 competitor and the FX3 isn't much of a hybrid. It can take stills but it's cumbersome compared to the A7Siii. The absence of an EVF and possibly mech shutter will damper most serious photogs. Another thing to consider is the absence of IBIS, that would be a big mistake imo but Canon took it off the R5C and no C line camera has it.
Also just saw the teaser on Instagram, it adds "Open your World" another hint towards open gate!

R5II is still mainly a photography camera with its 45MP, ergonomics and eye-AF control EVF. It has great video specs but no fan, line skipped 4K60p.. I'd imagine the C50 would have limited stills, maybe e-shutter only, no EVF, cine OS.. not to cannibalise R5ii.

Open Gate alone is a major game changer. 6K RAW / 32MP stills make it a serious upgrade for hybrid duties.
Now stuff like triple-base ISO / DGO sensor & NDs would make it epic but I still doubt that'll happen.
That said if you're happy with FX3 or locked into Sony, see this as more pressure on them to up the ante on FX3 II.

Why should it be a issue if you shoot raw? If its raw, the data is there.

Danyyyel reacted to ND64 in Switching to the Nikon Z8
Just keep in mind to get "cool" cfexpress cards. Z8 has no serious overheating issue, unless you put a card that consumes a lot of power. There is huge gap in efficiency between some of these cards that nobody talks about (one of the reasons a reviewer says I got 1 hour and another says only 20 minutes). Angelbird CFe v4 1TB is rated 3.75w, but v2 that is slower is rated 2.4w. v4 sustained write speed is 2100MB/s (insane in such a small package) and v2 is 1300MB/s, meaning you get 60% higher speed for 56% more power consumption, which I don't think a good tradeoff, considering 1300MB/s is already fast enough, and I dont think you take too much 8k60p shots at highest bitrate.

They also fixed their horrible n-log view assist. Nikon is really killing lately with their value for money, firmware, and camera offerings.

Yep, seems that it is not a Canon or Nikon, apart from the Viltrox, I don't think Canon or Nikon would showcase their camera with a third party lens, and not a full autofocus Canikon lens.

Clearly, it's the DJI camera that they've been on the cusp of releasing for about 3 years now.

Danyyyel reacted to Ilkka Nissila in Nikon Zr is coming
The Z6 III likely has a similar optical low-pass filter as the other models of the Z6 series which is reported as one axis only, so if there are high spatial frequencies on the other axis, these can cause moire or other forms of aliasing. Stopping down the lens to smaller apertures (such as f/11, f/16 etc. or using other means to soften the lens, such as a front filter) should eliminate the aliasing (including moire) if it does occur. The cause of this phenomenon is that the adjacent color filter array pixels can get different light (including different color of light), causing an interference pattern to form. Attenuating the high spatial frequencies optically should resolve the issue (and is the normal way to solve the issue). A thicker (two layers) optical low-pass filter on the sensor has the issue that the blurring is always there even though for some subjects (that are random enough not to cause problems) you might prefer the higher sharpness of the weaker, one-axis OLPF that the camera probably has at the moment.
In video, moire can (in some cameras) be caused by line-skipping, e.g., when going for a high frame rate mode, this is common with some cameras to achieve 4K120, but on the Z6III 4K120 is achieved by cropping to DX so there is no line-skipping and there should not be any additional aliasing or moire happening due to the use of that mode.

Danyyyel reacted to MrSMW in Nikon Zr is coming
How can it be luck?
That's approx 100,000 frames of photography and approx 15,000 5-15 second clips of video (plus another 60 hours of static capture).
For the photo side, that has been with; Sony A7RV, Nikon Zf, Lumix S1H and Lumix S1RII.
Video, Lumix S5II, S1H, S9 shooting Vlog with LUT baked in. (Except S1H which has OLPF but no facility to bake in LUT).
It's just my experience, - what can I say? You have experienced something else, but that doesn't make my experience invalid.
What are these cameras of yours that are moire prone?

Danyyyel got a reaction from Jahleh in Nikon Zr is coming
I mean the aim is not to use those 4-5 last stops and put them back at the base exposure, but it tells you that a 3 stop underexposure is still good, meaning your noise floor would still be much better than a camera that would be stuck at 2. Somebody else who likes to do technical test on Nikon cameras has an interesting test between the two, because he was intrigued how could the z6iii that was so criticized for the DR, while the S1ii got so much praise while using the same sensor. For me without the DR boost, the S1ii is still reaching 9 vs about 7 stops of latitude in the case of the Z6iii. The only difference for me is the 9 vs 12 ms for the sensor readout. And I hope Nikon give us, at least the S1ii DR. I already se a z9 which has 14ms sensor readout, so 12 ms is good for me.

Danyyyel reacted to IronFilm in Nikon buys Red?
Maybe the Sony 18-110mm cine zoom with an E to Z Mount adapter?
They do.
At least two big factors:
1) there are a tonne of Sony E Mount users, now they can very easily transition over to RED
2) Nikon will bring better AF to RED than Canon ever would have

Excited to try these. RED color (or maybe RED-ish color) for Nikon is a win in my book. The fact that these work on my 6 year old OG Z6 is awesome. That camera truly has aged like fine wine.

Danyyyel got a reaction from Juank in Nikon Z6III is coming.. as mini Z8
IF I was you, I would wait a little bit until a CineD lab test. As shown with the Z9 test, between synthetic benchmark and real life latitude test, the result can be very different. Same for the Sony Burano which with the Z9 scored poorly in the imatest test, were for Nikon about the highest Sony based sensor camera with 8 to 9 stop (Even better than the Sony Venice 2), and The Burano, which with its 10 stops latitude, is the first camera to equal the original Arri Alev sensor.

Danyyyel reacted to Benjamin Hilton in the worlds of arri and red are shaken by bm
Too true. Arri targets the feature film and commercial industry. Those industries have absolutely no incentive to use BM or anything cheaper. The rental cost of an Arri is one of the smallest line items in their budgets. Why would they experiment with something that saves a few bucks on the rental when they have years of experience, trust, rigging etc all geared around their usuals cameras of choice? You technically could shoot a movie with a BM camera or an FX30 or a bunch of other cameras, but why would you unless you need something small for a specific shot? It's like saying your such and such street car can go the same speed on a drag strip as an F1 car so they're going to dominate the F1 industry here pretty soon. Um, no. Why would they?

Danyyyel reacted to kye in the worlds of arri and red are shaken by bm
This was true with RED and yet it barely made any penetration into the industry.
It almost makes you think that the image coming out of the camera isn't the thing that determines the fate of the brand.....

Danyyyel reacted to MrSMW in AI = lower lens prices? Or complete collapse of lens market?
Well I own precisely zero fast lenses as in primes such as 1.4 or 1.8’s and moved exclusively to zooms recently.
I prefer primes, but the reality for my work, is I tried juggling them for far too long but the simple reality was a typical zoom covers at least 3 prime focal lengths with simple rotations.
OK, other than a few exotics such as Canon’s RF 28-70 f2 monster, faster than f2.8 zooms do not exist and I am over using any lens above 1kg and most of my zooms are ball park 500g or under.
AI could certainly adjust DOF to be even shallower, but you know what? I am also over ultra shallow DOF and f2.8 is just fine thanks!

With this logic, which I'm not arguing against, AI would kill the smartphone market first. Why should I upgrade my $1000 phone when I can update my camera app for $1.9 per month?

Nikon a bit naively, have a very conservative (Contrasty) Nlog which make it look very bad compared to others on DR test. On CineD on its Nraw test, it scored very low in the Sythetic DR imatest results. But It shines in the truer real life latitude test. In their the Z9 is better than every Sony camera by at least half if not 1 stop better DR. +4 stop above and - 5 stop lower. In fact their are big surprise in this test, from Canon baked in NR RAW, that makes it look good, but once you have real life latitude it falls apart... except for their C70 with the DGO sensor. The biggest surprise for me is the Venice 2, at least a stop bellow the Z9!!!

This is the normal bitrate, they have a higher bitrate one, it at least give you the capability to shoot raw at what used to be normal h264/265 bitrate.
