Tesla is a visionary company founded by a visionary leader. Nikon is a conservative company and just aims to produce “reliable” products despite being behind its competition in terms of innovation ...

Looks surreal! I wonder how it would look when we have better HDR displays. The highlights being blinding orange and the shadow being deep.

Nice shot!

Z6 50mm f/1.8 S — sooc jpg, portrait picture control It is partially backlit so should look much better in a HDR display after processing the RAW.

Ah, I went back and expanded the photos. You are correct about the “pop” that we get using 50mm. The microcontrast is amazing.

:) 50mm looks massive

To see advantages of 50mm f/1.8, you have to use it at f/1.8 and with suitable subjects that require f/1.8. Random test shots won't show anything, unless you pixel peep.

It is simple. Just ask yourself: do I want to cry once or cry every time.

I spent $2099 for my Z6 back in early 2019 and received the FTZ and 120GB XQD card(along with the Nikon bag) for free. So, assuming the FTZ would have cost $250 and the XQD another $200 back then, ...

I meant to quote and respond to another post, but what you said makes sense.

Video captures the temporal dimension and also sound/audio/music, while stills only capture the physical dimensions. With easy video sharing these days, it is a no brainer. I could capture, edit, ...

Yup, regardless of overheating from Canon, Canon (R6 and R5) blew open the pandora's box with internal high quality video recording. I understand that stills-only shooters do not care for video and ...

Canon R6 does internal 10bit for $2500. No need for a $6000 camera for that feature. If Nikon thinks that they can isolate video features to a >$4000 camera, they will not get traction in video.

Forget about big and bold steps, Nikon cannot even do internal 10bit video. Time for Nikon to really get into moving video features up to par with the competition.

Please do not reveal the secret. Delete the post immediately.

Nikon Z (at least first gens) LOVE tree branches over people's faces. I can imagine it to be a useful feature for botanists and tree photographers. There should be a setting to "deprioritize" tree ...

Perhaps the long FL shots are so ubiquitous now that anything with a bit of environment makes for a relative unique shot. In movies/cinematography, typically there is an “establishing shot” for ...

Okay perhaps not the typical “birding” photo, but using 50mm S lens wide open. I did get quite a few in-focus shots in that burst. Vignetting is pretty pronounced. Sooc jpg

I use both 50mm 1.8S and 20mm 1.4 ART for videos(lifestyle and family). 50mm is perfect for environmental video/portraits outdoors while 20mm is perfect for capturing clips/moments indoors. If ...
