Jordan's conclusion sure is feeble as audio can be directly recorded to a Ninja V or use a preamp

like the  US $100 Saramonic Smartrig+ .

It's Northrup. And the Z6 seems to have a pretty damn small buffer in it also.

Large buffer is less of a necessity because the write speeds to cards with XQD is much faster.

Kai tested it as well

Vimeo's court case has been bleeding them for nine years already,according to this link given by

"Olikmia" and  "It took YouTube nearly a decade, and well over $100M, to eventually settle its DMCA lawsuit."

For those that don't have the energy to watch the video the conclusion was basically: people dont like to blurry backgrounds.

There is a massive "sampling " problem here he says his survey participants were "52 average non-photographers"

Tribesmen from Papua New Guinea ,Kazakhstan horsemen ?????his video would have been much more fun if he included some of their interview material.

Also interesting. It is a little outdated, but Fuji makes Tons more money with the Instant Film than they do with real digital cameras. I would of never guessed.

Canon doesn't seem able to compete with Fijifilm skin care products either-perhaps included with the 5D MkV ?

On the other hand, this is quite impressive, shooting wetland birds at 120fps via the FTZ. It is almost certainly the best video AF available currently for F mount lenses. 
He only shows it with the 500mm prime, which is a lens I can confidently say I will never have. It would have been interesting to see it with the slower zoom lens. Living close to some great wildlife havens, I would love to have a useable, affordable video solution

The two new 70-300mm AF-P stepper zooms are getting quite good reviews and much faster auto focus than their

predecessors

Some of the best "beard tracking" I've ever seen.

Z7 what's inside ?

quote:"Another unique aspect: the cover glass of the Z7’s sensor is about half a thick as the Sony’s, coming in at 1.1mm. This means the Nikon will have better performance with adapter lenses right out of the box. "

Sony users discovered adapted " rangefinder wide angle lenses" have "image" problems on A7 bodies

Does anyone know if the Z6 and F mount adapter will meter ai/ai-s lenses?

Sorry but I'm just baffled by Pannys attitude here, I mean the rep won't even confirm what the 24-105 aperture is..?!!! or anything at all for that matter.. notice by the end of the interview, the rep is the one holding the mic to Dave.. SMH.

I'm sure the S1 will have good things for video but with virtually zero information aside 4K60p, i find this the most cringe worthy camera announcement as of late.

I also find the lens alliance thing a bit confusing.. the whole system just kinda sounds thrown together and rushed in a last ditch me too effort.  

Looks like Panasonic are facing the  reality that their high pricing on GH5 and GH5S is not justified any more .GH5S is nearly the same price as Nikon Z6 !

Sony sold off a lot of their Olympus shares and now only hold 5 % it doesn't really give them

much "clout".The story I heard was Sony wants some of the medical/endoscope market

Nikon would be very very foolish to give up on DX, seeing as that is where the vast bulk of their sales are.

 

Nikon have just given the D3400 a huge upgrade ! a better battery and 30 gms lighter so it now gets named D3500.

just in time to discount those D3400s for XMas

Sigh, high end pros just fucking up the technical details again. If you're looking for it (well, I'm not! Just randomly stumbling across it), you seem to just see this every day over and over. 

 

I bet you haven't been using "The four second rule" !

And that is what I really want to see, a DX mirrorless! Hopefully comes out this summer (or "winter" as you guys call it), as I'd still probably have to wait another 6 months after then for grey market prices to soften.

Nikon are "overdue" to even give some indication what their future "DX" plan is.They will need something pretty special to even match

the video abilities of Fuji's new X-T3.
