Face and eye detect works fine on Z6 FW 3.4, and probably as good as Z6 II on latest FW. The real issue for me is Z6 is not that fast on AF and hunts often, but it also depends on factors like ...

I believe your safest bet is still trying to get an Intel 12th Gen and a RTX 3090. It seems Da Vinci might have some problems with managing VRAM (memory leaks maybe?) so you need a graphics card ...

No, according to the same site Z50 and Zfc have exactly the same dynamic range response, so probably the same sensor.

I have Nikon Z 24, 35, 85 1.8 S paired with a Z6. I really liked the 24 and 85 - both are super sharp lens, and the bokeh on 85 is amazing. That being said, at least for my copy, the 35 is a bit ...

I do expect to see Z6 III and Z7 III with mechanical shutters but I would assume mechanical shutters would be gone on Z6 IV and Z7 IV. An interesting question would be how many people are ...

For my part, 24 1.8 S, 35 1.8 S, and 85 1.8 S all allow me to use Auto, EFCS, or fully mechanical. The mechanical shutter switch over point for Auto is 1/320 or 1/400 (these are the speeds that ...

Just read from this thread that Nikon Z would disable fully mechanical shutter in menu and only allows EFCS and Auto when certain lenses are attached. Therefore, I am curious what lenses would ...

Updated my Z6 to FW 3.4. Banding is still present. The (rather extreme) crop below shows some noise with a row pattern. However, this sample is derived by pushing a very dark patch of the raw image ...

Updated my Z6 just now. Definitely tracks the eye/face much further and refreshes much faster. I don't have a Z6/7 II for comparison but I would say it's probably on par with Z6/7 II (sans the ...

I am very curious in hearing this. I do not work in camera/sensor industry so I have no idea how much the sensor costs, but I would imagine the one in Z9 costs no more than $1000. Just wondering ...

On jd.com, one of the top e-commence websites in China, Z9 already got 10K pre-orders. Note this is just one site. Not sure how many would convert to actual sales or how many are bought by ...

Honestly I suspect it would be surprisingly little. Slight eye/face AF improvements but no new detection modes such as cars and motorcycles and stuff. Some improvements on object tracking and ...

@Barney Britton. Could you please check with official Nikon reps for 2 things:
1. Why the effective resolution is 45MP while the sensor has 52MP physically? Where did the rest of the pixel go?...

I will start:
Z9: Fastest sensor readout (1/250-1/200 x-sync) in any DSLR/Mirrorless so they removed the mechanical shutter. 8K60p internal raw video recording coming.

Can't thank you enough Jim! Most of us won't buy this camera due to pricing but it would be nice to have REAL professionals looking into it to examine the image quality and sensor read out. Looking ...

Continuous shooting at 14-Bit lossless raw is 6 FPS. Rolling shutter at 4K full frame is 26.5 ms.
It seems Sony can always come up with ways to distinguish their lower end product versus the more...

Probably some form of HEVC/ProRes with 422 encoding for internal recording, with the support for 8K RAW on external recorders such as Ninja V+. I think it's more of a patent issue rather than ...

Z6 first gen owner here. Camera is a late build and has the latest firmware. They did not fix the banding issue on Z6. I don't think it's fixed on Z7 first gen either. The banding issue is real. ...

I am a LR CC user so I am not sure about how this works in LR classic, but in LR CC you can go to Preferences -> Import -> Raw Default and then change the option to "Camera Settings." I suspect ...
