Man, I miss these two guys.

I'm a C-5 quadriplegic with limited arm and no hand function that relies completely on the touchscreen to take pictures so I'll be taking the upgrade to the Z6 from my Olympus system. It was brilliant to use in the store with all the functions usable right from the screen and I got one right away! I have wanted to go with Sony so bad and waited for so long but their touchscreens always sucked, not even a touch shutter function which I absolutely need. They still look like great cameras but in the smartphone age i don't know how hard it is to throw in a decent touchscreen on cameras you don't have to use it if you don't want to.

Nick Rath hey! Me too!! I’m technically a C4 SCI, but I’m a functional C5. Rear-ended while at a red light. I’ve enjoyed using a Z6 with the wired remote shutter release to trigger by holding it in my mouth. Great hobby, and glad to see other tetraplegics shooting stuff 😬 My main system is still Sony e-mount, as I’ve got a TON of Zeiss and G-Master glass. It’s lame 😒 (hehe) that they haven’t yet integrated full touchscreen capabilities on A7/A9 yet. I mainly use an A7ii, because they make a great, tiny little shutter release that’s about 2” x 1” and super easy to hold with your mouth.

This is a brilliant review!! Informative, funny, entertaining and most importantly based on real world usage!! This is why I always enjoy watching reviews by Kai!!

I got mine in Tuesday and shoot primarily with a D4. The reviews here is spot on. I don't have any native lenses, and uses the adapter with all my lenses. I can say the focus is good not as fast as my D4 but it works. I'm happy with my purchase and glad I held off for a Nikon Mirrorless. I have way too much glass invested in Nikon to change over..

The Sony has a dedicated exposure compensation dial. That's a wonderful thing to have. You 're right about the white balance, Sony's pics always look a bit cold.

The native 24-70 f4 on the Z6 was a dream to shoot with during the launch event here in Brisbane. Although i really wanted to play with their new bokeh beast! (not available)

Great review man

I'm ordering one of these for video. I will pair it with a Gh5s and an Atomos. I already have F mount glass that I speed boost with the GH system. I mainly want this for gimbal mounted AF. IMO this is the first Nikon camera with usable video capabilities. It won't replace my other cameras but hopefully, it can do that one job. BTW, watch out for those spearmint rhinos

So many new cameras. So many choices.

i really like the z6... a very sensible choice indeed

Canon fanboy here. That Nikon is a good camera. A really really good camera.

Mmmh, the reason, why the Z6 focusses better than the Z7 might be due to the Z6s Pixels being bigger, and so the Phase-detect Pixels being bigger as well.

I'll freely admit I've hit analysis paralysis with all these damn cameras nowadays. I've been 'deciding' for like 4 years. To be fair though, I'm really dumb.

Thought you and Lok were the cutest couple on KZread 😂🤣😂

These older videos before 2.0 firmware release in May2019 sought to be redone or pulled down because the AF is completely different and now is a very suitable replacement for any action DSLR. I recently sold my D850 because it was getting so little use after getting the Z6 and the funds generated from that will add a Z7 to the kit.Low light focusing is now better than DSLRs and action and burst is as good or even faster than the D850. The Eye-AF works well but for a portrait photographer it is not needed but it seems to be popular with new camera owners. Based on handling, XQD reliability, ergonomics and menu, great EVF, build quality, focus peaking accuracy, AF- speed and accuracy, weather sealing, IBIS performance, color, low light high ISO IQ, video performance, connectivity, and access to S lenses I can't think of a better camera currently on the market for long term return on investment. The Panasonic S1 is well made with good weather sealing also but heavy and large with very expensive lenses but suffers from only having contrast AF

@stanspb763

@@mostafa1996mazyad I bought a Z7 originally because the country where I live now had Z7 imported but not yet at that time any Z6. I had high res in the D850 so really wanted the the faster and lower light capable Z6. The dealer I get my gear from was willing to trade the Z7 in for a Z6 when it became available. The manager threw in a 35mm 1.8 and 50 1.8 S lens to cover the difference in cost. I had the Z7 for 3 weeks and used it daily and got the first Z6 available in the city. The Z6 has been my primary camera for 2 years and love it. I sold the D850 because it just was not getting used. Occasionally an art director will insist on larger files in studio work so I still had the D800 but for all studio or field commercial shooting and all my personal shooting has been on the Z6 which I love for its reasonable file size, low light performance, and DR. Now that the Z7 2 is officially announced I am interested in adding the Z7 2 and finally selling all my F mount cameras and lenses. The S lenses are so good that I never use the F mount. The Z6 with 85 1.8 S actually delivers better images than the excellent D850 with even the best F lenses.The Z mount allows corner to corner resolving power that was just not possible with the small diameter F mount. That is the reason Z cameras consistently produce better images than the Sony cameras due to their small deeper flange on their mount. Canon and Panasonic have also gone with large diameter flanges but they have deeper flange distance than the Z mount so have a harder time matching the corner to corner performance of the much lower cost S lenses. So, to be fulling in the mirrorless camp with a large collection of excellent S lenses it is time to add a Z7 2 for higher pixel density for product and other studio clients. My paid work really fell off this year since Covid arrived so selling off the F lenses will cover it and a 58 0.95 with enough left over for the stellar 70-200 S 2.8, probably the best zoom every made

Like the sunglasses 😎

This camera out shoots my D4 with frame rate and autofocus accuracy.

Are you going for a Top Gear like style? If so you are killing it! THAT SAID, I've had the Z6 for a few days and I love it for the price.

Yo Kai. It'd be super dope if you started up a website and kept some lists of gear recommendations. Kinda like dpreviews list of recommendations based on use case or price range

The Adobe DNG converter will process Z6 RAW images. It’s beta and will expire the end of the year. Presumably they will have updated Lightroom by then. But it works fine. I have had the Z6 for five days now and have been using mostly manual focus lenses like Nikkor AI-S lenses. IBIS is superb on this camera, and with focus peaking through the EVF and the ability to quickly change between registered non-CPU glass suddenly this class of lenses has new life. Give it a try. Great for street and video. We don’t need auto-focus for everything 😉

Love the camara

Wow, didn't expect it to match the A3 in noise performance

LOL - makes a good review fun! Thanks!

I have a mint 80-200 D. Screw focus which seems exactly how Nikon felt about supporting D series lenses.

I shoot with a nikon d500 and d850 and bought one of my photographers a sony a7r3 which i was nervous about and i really warry about the nikon digitals.. im a diehard nikon man but i would definitely go for the sony a73 which is basically the same as our a7r3 the auto focus on the sonys is fast and accurate.

Awesome 📸📸📸

Great video Kai! Do you have any information from Nikon about what is causing such a delay over here in the US with the shipping of the z6 cameras? They are back ordered everywhere. Thanks for your time.

Honestly I feel Nikon did good with this entry into mirrorless and it is a strong contender for the mirrorless market. The eos r just doesn’t make sense with the current market. However canon did come out with much better glass, which is the most important factor when considering a system in my opinion

Honestly Canon would have killed it if they didn't neuter the video portion of the camera. Insane crop on 4k is just not ok this day and age.

On my D5 I have D25 AF-C with back button focus. I'm so used to back button focus that I sure hope the Z7 can compare. The fastest focusing lens on the D5 is the 70-200E or VRIII. Anyways my 200-500 is not that fast, so I wouldn't be using it to test focusing speed

Hi. I am trying to choose a camera. For my family pictures and videos. The choices are Nikon z6 or Sony a6600. I favor the Nikon for its sharper images. However my wife likes the Sony because of the compact lens available and lightweight. She thinks it's more practical. However I don't want to miss out on the best pictures. On KZread, I see that the image comes out very clear, but when I look at the LCD screen in the store or the viewfinder it does not come out as spectacular as the actual KZread videos. What do you think, what is your recommendation?

When the Z7 didn’t focus on the Sony, “Maybe it just didn’t want to, makes sense” I lost it!! 😂😂😂

I have the A7iii and it’s autofocus is good . I really enjoy having the eye AF , but man it does feel like crap in the hand and its buttons are small . If the Z6 had a better Af system I would have that instead . In the end it doesn’t matter just use whatever works for you .

I’ve always been a Canon guy, and I still am, but Nikon has always had better on body controls on their DSLRs

the z6-7 I'm sure are nice but nikon made some odd choices like the Z7 cost near enough the D850 yet only one memory chip place on the Z7. I think I will wait for the next generation.By then they will have more lenses two memory slots hopefully perhaps even a better sensor.

Are there any updates on how firmware can improve the autofocus? Seems like a pretty old fashioned thing for a camera to fall flat on at this price point.

Hello there, what do you think about eoshd for the sony cameras?

I think a7iii with canon lens would be a interesting comparison with z6 and f-mount.

Hey Kai, Tony Northrup stated in so many words that the AF in video on the Z6 is horrible. What is your opinion? Secondly, is the AF on the Z7 just as bad?

This is the right way of doing wildlife photography. I just hate people destroying the natural habitats of wild animals just to click their photos. (2f73)

I know it would be a major pain in the arse, but it would be absolutely wonderful if you could add in every shot what it was filmed with... just for educational purposes. Maybe it is not all that interesting for photographers, but as an aspiring videographer I would love to see the differences different cameras capture. (And I am well aware, that in fact to make sense, you would need to add the settings and lenses and all that malarkey, but just the camera would be a nice start).

Tickle that like button? I had to listen twice to make sure I heard right. :)

The best camera out there is the one you own personally.

So here's something.. If you're stepping into a pro level system while mirrorless being regarded as the future of photography, would you go for the Sony A7[fill in the blank] or an older DSLR system while Nikon and Canon catch up? Invest in old, proven tech with Canon or Nikon? Or jump into Sony which already has a mature mirrorless system? The nature of photography requires some sort of brand loyalty in that it makes the most sense to invest in one system. At first i thought this was a great time to be shopping but the more i over think it, the more i see that it's a terrible time to make a large investment in photography gear. Ahh!! I want to like Nikon mirrorless but i can see its just not for me.. Need something reliable for fast action sports. Just like the A7 and A7II were not the best at anything, I'm expecting the same to be the case with the first Nikon and Canon mirrorless systems.
