Nikon is a meme of sorts on the youtube camera community but it's a shame because they have been making some nice cameras, especially recently. Glad that you aren't joining the hype of hating on Nikon, cause these photos all look great. Just shows it the photographer, not the camera :)

Jokes made by Sony and Canon users, mostly because they know how good Nikon really is. It’s just their insecurities showing, so they use jokes to deflect what they are hiding deeper down. I would never worry when comparing photos from Nikon and Sony, as Nikon algorithms produce far better colours and finish then Sony. Canon on the other hand do produce lovely colours as well.

@@HoLeeChit11 after using all three this is my verdict in terms of colours. You can achieve the same look from every single one. So if you shoot raw then it makes absolutely zero difference. If you shoot jpeg and don’t edit. Canon takes the top spot. For the image straight out of camera. That being said. If you edit the picture profiles on both the Sony and Nikon you can achieve the same tones. Everyone has different preferences but the truth is, there’s no difference like you said. The Sony handles well in low light which is a huge plus for me. The Nikon (I’m going out tonight to see what I can do) the canons I’ve used do well but still slightly behind Sony in terms of (dynamic range) in video but the canon straight out of camera colour wins if you don’t know what you’re doing. If you do then all are exactly the same.

The fact that you did all of that with a kit lens is amazing. I'm a new Z6 photographer and to see that my images can look like this out of the box with some color grading is inspiring.

The kit lens though is an S series lens, that's 1000$.. it's like Fuji kit lenses for the X-Tx series, they are not kit lenses as in cheap etc. They are kit lenses for being packed with the body, but it's fully professional equipment :)

Damn, that first shot of the Mercedes with the motion blur is INSANE.

Nice to see you testing out the Nikon Z6 mate! I do notice some difference in quality with the sony ones, but I guess that's just me. The edits are so nice and that shot of the girl crossing the street was by far the best of the video in my opinion :) That pedestrian crossing is becoming as famous as the one of the beatles if you continue to shoot all of these epic shots at that place!

Thanks very helpful. Im a Nikon hybrid shooter Im trying to make a choice between the Z6 and the A7C. Not decided which to go for yet.

Great video, looking to get the Z6, if you see this what camera settings do you use for shots like the one you took of the car passing the parked car, for the motion effect, mainly shutter speed I guess

Have you ever tried shooting like this with a Fujifilm camera? Would be fun to see a video like this where you use an X-T2 or 3 (because the way the screen flips to allow portrait/vertical photos is amazing to me (so quick!)) with the 56mm f1.2 and the 90mm f2.

Epic🔥

Dude the way this camera took your processing looks amazing . I love how the colors look on the Nikon, not as blue as the Sony . Also , did you sharpen the images more than usual or you think that’s just the Z lens? I was debating between Sony or Nikon . The aiii Sony I noticed is not as yellow leaning as the aiv. It’s also a bit more rich in color imo. With Nikon I noticed the 6ii and the 6 are not as blue tinted as the z 7’s. I heard someoke say the original z6 looked different then the 6ii. I gotta do lore research bc i feel your photos here show the potential of the processing. It looks so deep and rich tbh I prefer this over your sonys, they all look nice but I fee this combo you used here looks fantastic , it’s very deep in color but also very sharp, atleast on your videos it seems like the sharpest shots Iv seen so far

New to the channel but I love this concept, addictive viewing 👍👍new sub here

Pretty cool! I love street photography PoV's. Although, what I find strange (and at times irritating) is the fact that every time there's a youtuber with a mirrorless camera, they'll take portrait orientation pictures while using live view only. It does help that we can see the settings/handling on the gopro footage, but still it bugs me for some reason (maybe because I started with reflex cameras? no idea...)

I started with a d7000, portrait is for instagram purposes. As landscape images get cropped more and portrait at 1920x1080 takes up more real estate on the feeds. Using the screen is purely down to the fact it’s firstly way easier, secondly for the benefit for the video, if I am shooting client work I normally use the view finder. Hope this helps 🙏

@@Opticalwander Thanks for taking the time to reply. I just recently started checking out PoV photography videos (loving yours so far, by the way), and found it strange that out of 5 or 6 different photographers/youtubers, all of them were shooting mostly portrait orientation. As for the live view, I do use it for tricky shots, but otherwise find it uncomfortable and doesn't get me in the mood to photograph (rather the other way around - I'd only use live view when not in the mood (except again for those tricky shots)). But hey, in the other hand, I do appreciate it in the videos, so we can see what/how you frame. So I have mixed feelings about the whole thing haha! Anyways, keep up the cool content. And have a nice start of the year. Cheers,
