No. 7 reason is quite impressive. I switched my lens from autofocus and manual focus and I love when manual focusing, the focus square changes from red to green when the subject is in focus. I really like the Expeed 7 processor that is in this camera.

Enjoy it

What I just realised is how beautiful the Shutter Button really is. Let me explain. First I used decoupled AF and had a Soft Release Shutter Button attached to it. But without a strap it's a struggle to operate with a Back Button AF one handed ... and it's really unsafe, even with the Smallrig Grip. So I reconfigured the AF back to the Shutter Button but it was impossible for me to hit and hold just focus. I was more likely to immediately take a picture. I already was about to give up because I thought the Shutter Button had no noticeable first step for the AF which annoyed me a lot. But then I tried without the Soft Release Shutter Button and what can I say ... I'm never going to use the Soft Release Shutter Button ever again. Not only that the AF step is noticeable, it is such a satisfying feeling to use this metal and polished Shutter! That's something I wasn't used to anymore ... the closest to it was maybe my M9 and the X-Pro 1. But most of the time I had used modern SLR's, DSLR's and Mirrorless. I did not expect that I could ever enjoy a Shutter that much and now I think that I probably just didn't realize it on my M9 and X-Pro 1. If you like engineering and the combination of used materials in any shape of form, you'll know exactly what I mean :)

Welcome

How do you get the focus continue to track the subject in manual mode???

I just had my hands-on on a Zf during my visit of a local Nikon show room and I love it. I own a black Zfc with the original hand grip from Japan, so I was really curious to see how it compared. Surprisingly, it was lighter than I anticipated and easier to hold without the grip than the Zfc. I'm so crazy about this camera, but I also am not sure, because the Zfc is so much smaller and lighter with the 16-50 DX lens and the 26mm pancake which I usually use with it. I also think selling it so early is wasteful, as I will lose value. On the other hand... life is short...

@TouchLifeStudio

7 ай бұрын

Well, if you do end up getting the Zf, at least you don't need to buy another lens as you can use your 26 mm, which is actually was made for a full frame camera, like the Zf :-)

Can you use the new battery in older cameras?

Nice video and great summation of the many upsides of the Nikon Zf. I think if it weren't for the ergonomics and/or I just had the extra money, I would definitely get this camera - I would love to have it as a walk around camera - but I would need it to double as an event camera. I know you say that as a B camera for events with the Small Rig grip it would suffice, and I agree, it would suffice. But that said, the Z6III is likely around 6 months away and I think that camera will have everything this camera has (except the charm) and also some more surprise features that we are not aware of yet. I expect the Z6 III to be a break out camera for Nikon - I think the Zf is just a small taste of what is to come. The only rational reason that Nikon has/is taking this long to release the Z6III (arguably the most needed camera in the entire line up) is because they must be making a masterpiece to clearly out do the competition at the $2500 price point. I think it will have a full vari-angle screen (like the Zf) but also be probably 30-36MP, it will do full frame 4k 60 (maybe 4k 120), and have all the other new features of the Zf (i.e better IBIS, manual focus assist, pixel shift etc.) But also, I think it will have some surprises - not sure what, but maybe an ultra fast stacked sensor (like Z8/9 - not MP but in speed) and who knows what else. I also expect its ergonomics to be similar if not the same as the current Z6 II - maybe with one or two additional function buttons. All in all, I think the Z6 III will likely be the ultimate event photography camera and so I find myself waiting for it and for now will suffice with my Z8 and my Z6 II as a second camera (poor me lol). But, as I mentioned, if I did have the extra 2k to spend, I would buy this camera in spite of what I have said here - just because I think it is so cool and reminds me of the old days shooting with my Nikon FE 2 - It would be fun to have this for walk around, travel and general fun uses. For pro work, I will stick to the cameras that are designed with those ergonomics in mind. Once again, Vitalli (spelling?) nice video. I find your channel to be interesting and entertaining. It is nice to get the perspective of a fellow practitioner as opposed to the opinion of a random KZreadr which there is so much of now. Thanks again :) -PD

Thanks for the kind word, PD! Yes, the Zf camera is not an everyday work horse and certainly probably takes the last place when it comes to ergonomics. But when it comes to everyday, in a bag camera, it defiantly meets that need. And thats what I wanted to have camera on me more often. My Z9 and the Z6II is not something I want to bring around. As far as Z6III, I agree with many of your points and I think it will be something special and will check boxes for many event photographers. I hope it will NOT exceed 36 MP and I would love to see Nikon implement the Sony’s new screen which tilts and swivels, but I’m not sure whether it was pattened. .

If you are a pro wildlife and sport photographer, you would preferably use thd z8 and z9. But this camera has still fantastic focusing speed, low light and nice frame rate to be useful doing some action photography. You will need a cage/grip, not the best, but much better than any camera we had at this price before in ff. Lastly video with 10 bit log on this sensor will also be very very nice.

You’re not wrong but I don’t think it’s that bad with the small rig grip. The main reason for me is that horrible articulating screen, that’s made for KZreadrs not photographers.

The small fast prime lenses are still not available, which defies for me the use of this camera. Take for instance the 50 1.8. it is massive. But the fz is a beautiful camera tough.
