Yeah considering my experience with the latest Sony product and knowing what I know now, I'd probably of invested in all Sony stuff and never invested in MFT. But hey I put up a new video of a GH5 from 7 years ago doing its work if anyone wants to see MFT still has a place in our world. I have Gh5 and Gh6 and after learning how to properly use them and get the effect I want the camera body is really not that big of a deal. I'd rather have a 5k in lenses and 1 body over 1 good body and 1 lens.

The only way to test if Nikon is the superior system is to use the Z8 or Z9. Better everything than the ZF, by a light-year. BTW, what is the obsession with Zeiss?? They aren't great, most of their lenses are older, lacking modern technologies. I'd take a newer Sigma any day, even a Tamron. Sigma & Tamron are killing it, stop the hate! Forget the Z6III, spend a bit more and get a used Z8, report to us your findings. If you want me to get you an excellent condition Z8 for $3000 USD, hit me up I'll cover the cost and ship it to you. Good luck my rat brethren.

This makes sense considering that Nikon is really much more of a photography-first company. Maybe the RED acquisition will improve things, but I bet they will continue not to focus on things relevant to Casey's particular needs. That's something people new to channel probably don't get, Casey's recommendations do have some overlap for photography, but are really all centered around a very specific set of applications: wildlife telephoto video, vlogging centered on his face, and slow-motion goofing. I don't do even one of those things and I still love this channel.

Found this channel a couple weeks ago, I'm hooked. Re the Nikon vs Sony colors-no one ever believes me, but you can render the point moot by $ponying up for a ColorChecker & making a dual illuminant profile-better color than any brand camera & you can match the colors across cameras. Just gotta put in a few hours work to make the profiles, & have a light than can do cool & warm color temps.

Lets be honest, you want back into good graces of Panasonic, yes only their G9M2 and GH7 has 4k120p with PDAF autofocus still manual focus on the 1080p240 and 1080p300. But what about the potential Panasonic S2 thats 'rumoured' to have 4k120p full sensor readout, then you get A7s3 performance perhaps not as fast sensor readout, but you get best IBIS in business, panny colour science which has improved a lot, natural profile is tweaked specifically for strict Japanese TV broadcast so it gives as natural looking colours as possible. And it probably will have that silly LUT feature from S9 considering GH7 got it. But then if you pick L-mount you can either use Sigma MC-11 adapter for very good AF performance with Canon glass, or you will be only left with a Sigma telephoto lens since Panasonic themselves only has the 70-300mm OR you can get LEICA Vario-Elmar-SL 100-400 f/5-6.3 yes Leica makes a full frame super zoom for L-mount!

With my 24-70/4S it really can be pretty dang wobbly with VR enabled. I basically have to keep it above 1/200s. One time I actually feared the footage might give people motion sickness... Not even kidding. Happens with my 7-200/2.8 as well, at least around the shorter end of the zoom range. But with tele lenses? 600mm, handheld, no problem. At least until my arms give up... Personally I'm not mad about their current focus on telephoto lenses though. I don't vlog, I shoot animals at our zoo. But versatility in that regard would be be nice. Knowing that I don't have to fight with my gear if I don't shoot video in the telephoto range...

The Nikon skin tone is redder, but the question is... are YOU red? How can we know the truth?

I'm so glad you survived the electric shock.

The z6iii will probably try to beat the a7iv and lumix s5iix. It will be a hybrid camera around 2.5k (hopefully not more). It will not compete with the a7siii. And to be fair for 3.4k you can get the z8. No flippy screen tho so thats probably a no for you.

The topaz stabe to me was slightly more stable, slight crop, image still looked nice with 3d pop. Not worth the wait though. I guess it depends on the shot and context you film though. In a pinch it might be good for a music video to polish the turd I accidently filmed.

G9ii with 100-300ii is undefeated in wildlife imo. I mostly shoot birds though

I also do the white piece of paper trick and it works really well

what i learn from wasting my money for few years, if you want to make some vlog or walkaround style video just buy osmo pocket3. and about any other situations? most of cameras(released past 5 years) do their work perfectly if it equipped with inbody or lens stabilzation. I make my video with pocket3 when i film walk around video. When i make some b-roll type video, im using bmpc4k with tiny panasonic 12-32mm OIS. Im sure you could cover most of situation with these two settings. by the way im filming with d-log and BRAW and do some minimum grading with davinci resolve.

Curious if you have your ZF set to have VR linked to focus point? I ask because Nikon mirrorless cameras typically don’t have the edge of frame wobble like canon. If you have the ZF set with the link on, then in video the camera stabilizes the center of the frame. It’s a photo setting that affects video.

Valid argument, but what will 6-12 months look like with the Red acquisition. Whatever’s coming out by Nikon is the last of Nikon alone. If they are smart they will start integrating Red tech and hopefully close that gap. They don’t want to end up like Olympus

I agree that you focus too much on pop. Focus would be the wrong word for manual lenses, because they are often out of focus. Nothing ruins pop more than being out of focus. I would prefer it if you kept the manual lenses to a minimum and went for good autofocusing lenses. Add some zing in post and I'm sure most viewers would notice the clean sharp footage.

You're sampling such a small selection of Nikon lenses; it hurts! I shot ML Nikon for several years and none of those lenses stayed in my bag. The 24-70F4S, 24-120F4S, 20f1.8S, 85f1.8S, 26f2.8, 100-400S, and a few others are that much nicer than what you're using. I know they aren't great for vlogging use. You can get a $150 Neewer E to Z adapter and use your e-mount lenses on a Z, with a slight hit to AF-C. Nikon could really use some more lens options, and a wicked APS-C or ZV FX competitor. So far the rumors aren't very exciting for the Z6III when compared to my A7CII. I hope I'm wrong. The Z8 and ZF weren't for me, and some of the UI choices (limitations) are a bit of a concern.
