The only difference between older cams and the new, are the lenses. Lenses and higher pixel count make the images sharper. Other than that, as far as colors and ability to capture great images, it’s the same and more importantly, it all depends on the photographer. 🥃🥃

I have 3- D200's. They are great. They give me all of the classic features needed and none of the "Crutches" that people think they need. I love mine and don't see a need to downgrade to a new camera. I really wish more people would keep converting to mirrorless so I can get more stuff cheap, mainly a prime lens and maybe another body or 2... no magnesium in the new cameras, just a bunch of plastic.

All Nikon products thus far have been great compared to other manufacturers. That said, when it comes to features and type of work at hand, I believe different cams with different features are required, thus I don’t think discarding any era of cameras then and now is wise.

I wanted to get into photographing again, something I did in school when we could borrow equipment. I bought two defective D200's for 20 bucks a piece and one of them I just needed to fix the shutter on, with some tweezers. I kind of love it but it does have some show of age, but I think this will do me well in re-learning photo and teach me what I search in a upgrade later on. Got a adapter so I can use my grandmothers old Pentax K lenses and they work well! I think it's a good camera if you find it for cheap nowadays and you wanna to some art photography as a hobby.

Same sensor I think

aps-c aspect ratio is same as that of "full frame": both are 3/2

Great video! One nitpick. You said you need more resolution and went full frame for a different aspect ratio. DX and FX has the same aspect ratio, just different sizes. If you want to get a different aspect ratio, you would have to go to micro four thirds system (4:3 instead of 3:2)

This was my first camera in 2018. I loved it. I just sold it last year because the shutter was giving me issues. I was very happy with the images I got from it and I'll probably buy another one, just to have since I still have the box for it. I used to call it the tank. That thing is solid and heavy. I now have a D600 and D750, and I'm loving them.

As far as computers go @rdcoff and apple, I would wait for one more generation or two. The reason is that apple just got into their chips and they are working out their kinks with software and incompatibilities with 3rd party. If you want to use FCPX then I understand you rushing into it. But if u can bare with premiere or Davinci Resolve, then I would go that route instead. For less than $1500 you can get a strong laptop or pc to do the work, and when apple is finally ready in a couple of years, then I would jump ship. That’s what I’m gonna do. Hope that helps, just got word from Nikon that once again, my Z6 motherboard will need replacement, and the D810 is still running solid! Go figure 😂🥃🥃

Hello Edward, Thank you for writing. I'm looking into the matter of getting the software editors to yield ISO and white balance from the Nikon Z6/Ninja V output. Seems to me that only Final Cut Pro X, I guess can read the metadata, or some such thing. I'm a PC guy, and the Dell G7 looks interesting, and the price is not too bad. In my mind I'm looking at Mac Book Pros (not M1 Chips) and the Asus Zenbook Duo. Clearly these are a big jump in price. Again - What is the final word so far on the software side for those non-operating editing features (ISO, WB)? Really, I just want to build a solid PC and have laptop for lighter work, but...; never did video before in a serious way. I really did appreciate all the work you put into your shows..helped me a lot. Staying tuned. More to follow. Cheers, -Rob

Hey Rob, so ProRes raw is still in the works all around but much better. If you want all the features unlocked, then FCPX is the way. Premiere only gives you exposure compensation for now. But, I have used ISO and WB on Mac with the Z6, and the WB does work, but there is no actual gain or improvement from using ISO. If you clip your footage, iso isn’t going to bring it back or take care of the footage noise. Nikon needs to put in some work still I would say for dual native iso implementation. If you capture the footage right, then it doesn’t matter which NLE you use. But the Mac, does seem to give you better color read out. Which I’m sure will always be the case since it is an apple coder. Hope that helped to make up your mind. 🥃🥃

@rdcoff

3 жыл бұрын

I'm thinking from what you said, for this Z6 camera, that the Apple solution makes the most sense for white balance and perhaps betters color in FCPX and that, really, forget about the ISO adjust in post as it won't help anything. Now, are those M1 chips good enough for editing 4K video? Also, there is the comparison with the slightly older Intel Apple machines that will be discontinued.. If I wanted to shoot N-Log exclusively, I'm presuming that still only FCPX would allow the white balance in post to work. Right? You know, if I locked the WB down first and got the exposure nailed with the Ninja, then the work around in Premiere and or Resolve would be fine. Guess that's what you're doing?

Nice review of this great DSLR, even in 2023. However, I disagree with you regarding ISO 800 as a max. I like the rendering of the CCD sensor event at 1000 or 1200 ISO. I believe it gives character to the photos.

Welcome onboard Marcus. I am big fan of prime lenses. Don’t care if they are vintage or new. Just love the quality of image they produce. You can score 50mm f1.8 full frame auto focus for less than $100 on eBay. Lenses I would recommend, any of this in 2.8 or better. 24, 35, 50 and a 105mm

It STILL IS the best camera on the market

My D200, even my D100, does a much better job with Colour, Contrast, Clarity, Brightness than any of the Nikons that came after it. My newer Cameras(D800, D810, D850) cannot duplicate that regardless of how the Picture Control is set, nor can it be easily fixed in PP. It likely comes down to the older cameras used a CCD, while the Post D200/D2* cameras use CMOS.

I have a very hard time with the D810 when shorting handheld. So I understand your pain. But any other system I have used, it’s pretty good. D200 or otherwise. The Z system is excellent, so I don’t think that’s going to have the same issue. I wonder if it’s the lens electric contacts that go bad with time. When I first got the d810, it was sharp as can be, overtime there was no comeback.

I don't agree about not using higher ISO and I get good images at 1000 ISO when necessary. I don't subscribe to the need for noiseless images at 6400 ISO on modern cameras - it is possible, it works, but it has no character. I have no interest in video, so for me the D200 is still relevant today.
