Incredible piece of cinematography! Great coordination, camera path, and, of course, flying.
This put a huge dent in YouTuber Tony Northrup's prediction that Nikon was going under.
I don't understand why this can't be done for the first generation Z6 and Z7.
Stills market is shrinking, and video market is expanding. You do the math.
Kiwisnap: Personally I would rather they just sell video cameras to video people and stills cameras to stills people.
I do not want and never use any of the video stuff that is in my cameras. An iPhone has more than adequate video in the unlikely event I want it - or I can use my GoPro.
@Kharan, Very true! The stills only market is getting smaller and smaller every year.

@SteveAnderson No, homework on the camera manufacturers part. The complaint is their preamps are noisy. There is really no excuse for that when inexpensive preamps which are very quiet are readily available for them to use. The bottom line is the camera manufacturers have been lazy.
Judging from some of the comments here, it sounds some people are still using rotary dial phones. Who doesn't shoot at least some video with their camera? You guys sound like you are 100 years old.
tkbslc: Man, do you guys go onto articles about bikes and say, "who cares, I drive a car". If you don't care, then this article was not for you!
@enrique santa, Then go buy a 1990s DSLR. There is no video at all.

@Steve, Who says it is going to cost "$50 or $500"? They have very inexpensive high quality preamps on a chip now. That can't cost much. It just takes some homework.

I am not carrying around two cameras.
Couldn't agree more with this article. Also how about some quieter internal audio amps?
Another reason not to buy Sony products. I have zero respect for Gannett.
I've really enjoyed my Z7. These firmware improvements make me want to continue to invest in Nikon equipment.
Nilangsu: Nikon mirrorless already has excellent AF performance. The impression of inferiority has been created by Youtubers who have not gone deeper than seeing the admittedly flighty and seemingly non-sticky AF rectangle who is not evidence of actual AF accuracy. Please see this link below where the very good bird-in-flight AF of Z6 and Z7 is documented.

I use Sony AIII and am very satisfied with it. That camera has a lower success rate in this comparison. It also suffers more in poorer lighting than Z6/7.

One has to remember how Youtubers make their money. They are not Consumer Reports. They make their money from advertising. If they can make more money by being controversial and biased, they that's what they are going to do. I've seen plenty of Youtubers who started out with good intensions, but sold their souls to Google. There are a few good ones left, but not many. Money corrupts.
paul simon king: Apple will soon be making cars with the Same repair strategy I expect.
No third party repairs will become the norm for premium brands’ products across the board.
A premium brand does not want its products seen anywhere not working e.g. car by side of road with hood up. It has a reputation to maintain and controlling repair is an essential part of keeping control of quality and marketing the brand.
I expect Rolls Royce etc already do this. Extending that policy to the rest of the range is a logical step for any image conscious manufacturer
It doesn’t surprise or bother me that Apple started this with the iPhone
It should bother you. Who owns the product, you or Apple?
Drapes: I liked my Note 3 but eventually changed to Note 10+ because some apps would run on the old device. Still can't understand why Samsung is sticking with the curved edges for their ultra range (can't get a proper screen protector to fit)
No use having sexy edges if you have to put it in a box to protect it.
I hope they do have another ultra Note in the future with a flat screen.
Having a s pen for the S21 doesn't make sense ... who is going to be carrying around an s pen by itself ??
I have a Note 9 with a curved screen. My screen protector works fine.
SantaMaria: Want the S21 ultra.
The S20 ultra main 108mp camera already offered FF IQ. This sensor is even bigger with 3x DR!
Who wants to lug around a FF camera?
Because a FF camera is enjoyable to take pictures with, and I can take pictures in the sun without guessing what i am taking pictures of.
wcan: "...For all the new features, including the DaVinci Neural Engine, stereoscopic 3D tools, additional Resove FX filters, Fairlight FX audio plugins, HDR grading and more, you must purchase DaVinci Resolve Studio..." Does this literally mean that for the free version the feature set is identical to Version 16?
@Mr. Bolten. VLC Media player isn't a command line program on my computer.

@Mr. Bolton, Have you tried transcoding it with VLC Media Player (open source)? I know some Windows users had problems with H.264, and I saw a video where they re-encoded it with VLC Media Player. One thing that was key was using AAC audio.

@wcan I guess you missed this in the article. "Of course, the free version doesn't include all new features, but it includes a lot."
