Looks like it's only a problem with the nisi vnd 

why do you think sony owns autofocus, or that nikon licences it from them? 

Lol what. Only some of Nikon's sensors are Sony designed. Others like the z9 are designed by Nikon and then manufactured by Sony. 

I'd prefer more MP, and the tilt screen from the Z8 instead of the flip from the ZF. But I'm probably going to get this anyway. Hopefully they bring open gate and a new log profile too. 

Are you talking about the eoshd log thing.
 
It says "Gamma curve is similar to V-LOG / S-LOG / F-LOG style."
 
So you'll have to try a few 

Bit depth and dynamic range are different. Apparently n-log can only hold 13 stops. But tbf not many cameras are exceeding that anyway.

Are you able to repost?

Late, but I support xs20 over anything else, unless you have the budget for xh2s

Footage looks clean and with great colours, but not the best example of dynamic range considering the shadows/ blacks. But that could be how it was shot/ graded. 

Has anyone posted some footage from the Z8/9? I want to see what I can do with it in resolve now. 
 
Also probably don't bother competing with people charging $200

Nikon should've offered it to BM from the start. Even paid BM to use it. The amount they'd make in lens sales would be so worth it. And like you said: no one buying a BM would be considering a Nikon instead. Zero loss in potential sales. But Nikon's management aren't exactly creative thinkers. 

Nah I never noticed much difference shooting my G lenses with the adapter vs the Z lenses  

the rear screen is easily one of the best things about the z8. wish every youtuber asking for flip out screens would just fuck off. 

Good move. Most of the F mounts are really good. I'd just look at a 3rd party option for the 50mm. Nikon's F mount 50mm was never as good as their other lenses. 

Flog2 has an identical gamma curve to Arri Clog3, and the colour space is rec2020. So yeah it probably is one of the best log profiles around. Especially considering the support, and knowledge for Arri footage in the cinema & high end commercial space. 

What's the benefit of the Z9/ Z8 for video over the Canon R5. I don't know enough about the canon, but I thought it was meant to be a good video hybrid?

You might enjoy his comedy but it's a cop out to excuse his garbage reviews as comedy. 
Walking around the suburbs with a camera at arms length, squinting at a 3" screen doesn't qualify as real world usage or review worthy. 
lol actually that just tells you everything you need to know 

Just to follow up, in case anyone is reading.
Turns out it was definitely more my settings (which I had jiggered oddly to work around the old firmware). Setting everything back to stock then selecting continuous, area, sensitivity at 0, and speed at -4 and I'm quite happy with the results for moving images. Nice update!

Fresh firmware just dropped. Apparently huge AF improvements.

These are my top 3, and in this order 

Yes. I shot 5 weddings recently and it worked pretty well on all of them. This is the only one I've edited so far (a few shots were MF with an old nikon lens)
 

I've got the 16-55 f2.8 on the xh2s and the autofocus is excellent
