Every single one cripples in some degree or another everything they are putting out for no apparent reason other than they can. It's just fucking weird! 🙄 Agree! I don't really fancy much of what's on offer. I'd think about getting a video only cam, but the blackmagic is M/3 or bloody eos mount. The z-cam has similar caveats. AN d besides I dont mind being pampered now and then with an auto mode that actually works. Or Ibis. Or autofocus. Oy vey! I think I better think it out again Zeng 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony going to be outselling them 10 to 1 at this rate. My thoughts too... It looks like the 'Expeed 6' processors can't handle 10-bit video compression, otherwise surely they would have 10-bit internal recording by now? What have they been doing, processor development wise, for the last two years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyyyel Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 The z7 60 fps 4k is 93% of the frame, it is the world upside down at Nikon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyyyel Posted October 14, 2020 Author Share Posted October 14, 2020 I have been advocating for Nikon for ages. I am utterly disgusted by this, I hope they are feeling the heat as the backlash seems to be loud online. For me the Z6 is such a wonderful camera and they have so much potential, I just did this video with the Zlog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volumetrik Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I can live with the promised 4K60 APS-C crop, but the lack of internal 10-bit is absolutely disappointing. I could even do without internal N-Log if the 10-bit internal had a flat picture profile. I still cannot believe it. Nikon lenses looks superb, ergos are nice and they introduced the new batteries with improved autofocus, but somehow lack 10-bit internal ?! Geeez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timotheus Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Didn't see this before, but external BRAW seems like a pretty big deal? https://www.slashcam.com/news/single/Nikon-Z6II-and-Z7II-with-Dual-Card-Slots-and-for-t-16118.html Again, I would argue that for the price point they are pretty good.

It would be if Blackmagic recorders were not complete and utter garbage. I owned the 12G and it had horrific input and output lag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bowgett Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Is the Z6 II's 4k60 actually APS-C? Everyone's talking as though it is, but this part of the press release makes it sound like it's full-frame (emphasis mine): "Building on the vast pro-caliber video capabilities of the Z 6, the Z 6II is capable of recording 4K UHD video quality with full pixel readout, demonstrating the advantages of mirrorless technology. The camera is capable of a variety of frame rates, including 4K UHD 60p with full pixel readout, which is planned to be available in February 2021 via a firmware update."

ac6000cw Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 From the Nikon US website for the Z-6ii: Quote This is what a hybrid still and video mirrorless camera is meant to be. 24.5MP BSI sensor and high-speed shooting with the buffer capacity to match. 4K Ultra HD video at 60p*. Outstanding low-light capabilities. Next-generation autofocus. The power of dual processors. Two card slots. Tons of creative features. Flexible power options. Compatibility with a vertical battery grip. Wireless connectivity with smartphones and laptops and so much more. *8-Bit and DX-crop mode only ...and for the Z-7ii: Quote It’s here. Bring the Z 7II’s superb image quality to your video work. For maximum definition and flexibility, record 4K Ultra HD at 60p*, 30p, 25p or 24p. Or create silky smooth slow motion sequences with 120p Full HD. *8-bit and FX format (93% of sensor UHD coverage) only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSMW Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 On Nikon’s own website it reads 4K 60p at 8 bit AND DX-crop mode. In multiple places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arant.joseph Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I've been sitting on the d750 for many years now. Overall it's a wonderful camera, but I have been waiting for Nikon to give me a reason to upgrade. Still waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing really touches that sensor and DSLR AF is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
