Plis conect bluethooth dji rs 3 mini to lumix s5 🙏

@@francoismasuabi thx 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have a feeling it's done on purpose to create hype... I haven't found anyone who has actually been able to buy the Sony version anywhere 🤣
Lol...The brands are pulling out all the marketing stops and pushing out unique products because the competitions is very fierce at the moment.
This is dope
thanks bro
Great tips. Thank you
Thank you. Your Welcome.
Thanks, been looking for this!
Your welcome
I agree with you about the battery.
To this day it is a problem. And it's press is still outrageous
Nikon 24-3000 2.8f 🔥
That's on the Coolpix P1000 right?
Interesting to hear your thoughts. I have bought the Voigtlander Nocton 40 mm F1.2 lens to use with the Zf. It's manual focus and has an aperture ring - for the traditional photography feel.
I haven't yet had the privilege of making use of one of those lenses. How are they to shoot with?
@@francoismasuabi It's a good sharp lens and works well with the Zf with its aids to manual focussing. It's a bit more prone to flare than the Nikon lenses but I enjoy using it.
s line and non s line, have the same flange distance both are mirrorless design lenses
Hey man. Yes I found that out afterwards. I pinned a comment stating my errors and directing everyone to a specific link. Had to learn the hard way😅
Why? Because the 1.8 is even better.
Yes, that is true. I have the 24-70s which does a brilliant job, so a 35mm with a much wider aperture will fit in nicely.
Great video. I wonder if the new 35mm F1.4 Z lens would be the lens you are looking for. It doesn't have the super sharp clinical look. There is an additional control ring where aperture can be controlled. And it's reasonably priced.
Thank you very much. I saw it yes, it still need a little more vintage to it, one can still tell with the 35mm that it is a modern lens when with the aperture ring.
More of these types of videos 🔥🔥
Thank you for this feedback. I will definitely try to do this more. Appreciate it
I've never owned a Nikon, but this camera is so interesting. Do you think it would do well with the 180-600mm attached for wildlife?
you will appreciate it from the get go. It will Definitely do well with the 180-600. It is only 14fps for stills, so that would need to be considered, is it fast enough for what you planning to capture?
@@francoismasuabi Yes, I don't shoot birds in flight, or anything that would benefit from over 14fps. I shoot wildlife/landscape/street with a Canon R6, using tele and vintage lenses. I think the Zf would be a jump forward for my m42 lenses, but maybe not benificial for wildlife given how good Canon's AF is. One thing that puzzles me is why the ISO dial doesnt seem to go to the lowest ISO setting (50). Is 50 a non-native ISO?
Yes, the 50 can only be achieved by setting the EV to either 0.3 or 0.7, so even thouigh it is stated as feature, not native to setting. The Canons Autofocus is Definitely on point, not so long ago did a comparison with EOR R/RP and Nikon Z6ii, and the canons won in that regard. didn't make video on that though, but was good to be able to confirm side by side.
I think this is better than z6ii and what most ppl need than overkilled z6iii
I agree. This might not be for everyone, but if I had to choose, this would definitely be the one I go for.
Great camera 👍💥
It really is
USD prices, * $700: Tamron SP 35mm f/1.4 Di USD Lens for Nikon F * $600: Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.4 Lens * $700: Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S We should ask Tamron why the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.4 is so cheap.
You are not the first person to mention Tamron as the reason behind this. I have been trying to something that links the 2 but have come up empty. Any info to share so that I can look into this more?
Your simple Milk-maid bill doesn't fit here. Nikon Z 35/1.4 - 11 lens elements into 9 groups, incl. 2 asph), Tamron 35 F1.4 SP - 14 elements in 10 groups, 3 aspherical, 4 LD (low dispersion), BBAR-G2 coating.
@@francoismasuabi It was partly the agreement between Nikon and Tamron in 2022 where Tamron would not compete. It seems that having Tamron make the f/1.4 lenses fits that. The 17-28mm f/2.8, 28-75mm f/2.8, and 70-180mm f/2.8 lenses were made by Tamron. I think that has been widely acknowledged. I have also talked to Nikon and Tamron reps, basically together, and they acknowledged the f/2.8 zooms were made by Tamron. The Tamron rep also said that they made other lenses for Nikon.
@@marcp.1752 Your simple mind seems unable to grasp the idea that Tamron might make a new lens for the Nikon badge.
@@UnconventionalReasoning As long as you don't show a matching Tamron patent, its just hot air from your simple mind.
Thanks from Colorado
Your are most welcome.
Smooth!
Thank you
Have you every been in a similar situation? Lets hear it!!
Thank You Francois!
You are welcome!
Why is it so cheap? It’s a Tamron. Great price.
This is an interesting statement. Where can I read more about this?
Tamron had the the best 35mm f1.4 lens for DSLRs, their 35mm was as good as Canon 35mm f1.4L II...if it's simmilar to that, it would be awesome...but I think it's simmilar optically to 40mm f2...which is still enough for lot's of people...we will see. :)
It is not a Tamron. Totally different construction and MTF charts.
It is a Nikon design.
Correction, see update on S-line, all the information you need right here. Thanks to @jkldb4815 for pointing it out. www.nikonusa.com/learn-and-explore/c/products-and-innovation/s-line-a-badge-of-honor-for-nikkor-z-lenses
S line and non S line lenses don't have anything to do with flange distance and inner mount diameter, the S line is superior because of the lens coatings and special glass elements
Thank you very much for pointing this out, I have pined a comment with a link to the S-line information to ensure correct information is shared. Appreciate the feedback.
The 35 1.2 is still coming
This will be a beast of a lens when it comes out. Definitely out of my budget...for now
24mm f1,4 next?
That would be something, then again would be very expensive that lens.
Color grading givese a headache, still learning it, if one can get it right, it will definitely be beneficial
When starting out it can be a real pain, I learnt gradually, still not very good at it, but getting better slowly but surely
They are indeed smart in this approach 👏🏻. And this lens will not only attract the Z6iii buyers but also people with older Z bodies.
Exactly. Watch out for a lot of videos coming from various creators about this lens.
Jurre i wanted to ask you if i could come see how bright the light actually is...videos usually dont translate to irl performance.😺
Hey bro. No stress. You more than welcome to. DM me on Insta or Facebook to get my contact no.
I've bought Z 50 in the middle of 2024, installed firmware update, and I feel good.
It is a great camera. Yeah, the firmware update gave it that extra boost needed, definitely pushed it into a more competitive category
Nice
Thank you
Confused? See Caption ⬇️ In Camera White Balance is different from White balance you can set with external light source (LED). An external light source means to counter the lighting situation you are in. In other words, 3200k will be warm and 6700k will be cool. When shooting, we tend to set WB at 5600k or balance it in camera depending on the scenario. E.g At sunrise we set the WB in camera to around 3200k, this is at golden hour, to try and balance out the warmth of the natural light. At blue hour we will set the WB to around 6700K to try and balance the natural blue light. This is turned around when we using external light sources, at blue hour the light source will be set at 2700 - 3200K while at golden hour we set the WB to around 6700k on the external light. #tutorial #whitebalance #photography #filmmaker
Hello, i have Z50 now and i have never had a full frame camera, is it worth it to get Z6 II as counter account for half price ($947) in case give them my Z50 + set Nikon Z DX 16-50 mm f/3,5-6,3 VR lens? Thank you in advance!
The Z6ii is a big step up from the Z50, the censor is bigger (full frame), the dual card slot (though one is CF Express), the image stabilization is better for video, in camera and Electronic stabilization, 4k60 possible, auto focus is faster, low light photography and videography is better. If a good deal comes along to get one over the Z50, I would definitely go for it. And you can obviously still use that 16-50 on it without any issues. Another big win is that the batteries for the Z6ii is more readily available, and much cheaper to get. Most of the other Nikon's uses the same batteries.
Thanks for the info and honesty really helps me to make an inform decision on purchasing this unit. 100% enjoy that Retro Look!!! and the battery grip that saved your on the drop🤣
Your most welcome, glad I could set your mind at ease with what you need. 😂😂. It did, imagine brand new item dropped with the unboxing. Another great use of the battery grip🤣
I got it on 2012 never happy with the focus
And it is still working 💯 to this day? I haven't used it long enough to have experienced any issues specifically with focus. With the testing I conducted, it didn't really give me issues, obviously being accustomed to working with newer cameras, the response is much slower.
What Camera you shooting with?
We've all been there, hopefully the equipment survived
Not a nice feeling, fortunately only a few bent pins on the softbox, light was spared.
I'll buy myself one when I turn 21.
Too late now
awesome buddy, this review is really informative. Keep up the great work.
Thanks man. I am still learning to go into more informative reviews and keep retention up. Getting there slowly but surely
Honestly, I believe it's still a good lens despite its age. I'm currently watching many videos about this lens, to see if I can convince myself to get a used one for my dslr :D that VC is really good for low-light situations too
I think you have already made up your mind that you going get one, just the fact that you browsing. I agree, this is one lens I don't regret buying.
Think i need to join you on this one! Gonna be a mission😂
This taught me alot, and help give me a bit more confidence infront of the camera
Lookimg good❤
It's better than 250d ?
The 250d is a much newer camera, and is more of a hybrid. Where the 5D specializes in Photo, the 250d crosses over into the Video aspects aswell, with the 4K capabilities. Not only that, the technology in the 250d is much more advance. a 2012 vs 2019 camera, good matchup, the 250 would take the lead from a overall standpoint.
i sold my pocket 2 a year or 2 ago ,the 3 looks quite intriguing with its 1 inch sensor. excellent video.
Thanks man. In my.honestnopion this is one of those situations where you wait for the next one. I don't see that the upgrade from the 2 to 3 is such a mib stepup, besides the sensor and the screen. Might be wrong😂.
Is the upgrade to Pocket 3, worth it?
Like the watch collection
Thanks man. Gradually working on it.
Is Macro Photography dying?
I just bought one for $400 with 6k shutter actuations
That is a great deal for a great camera.
I fully agree. I've purchased the RS3 Mini and I don't like at all. It is far more better a RS3 standard. The half kilo you save is by loosing a lot of features, that they don't compensate. Thanks for sharing!
Exactly. The bigger gimbal is definitely a much better purchasing option, and gives you so much more options.
Great video man. Detailed. Quick. Unique too without the talking head. I just got one now, after spending a year and half with Lumix S5. My thoughts so far are that its a great photography camera for sure. Video, if you are good on manual focus, and can play around with Magic Lantern it will get the job done. I have an R5, and besides the flippy screen, I can't see much else, especially for things like landscape.
While the photo camera is really good (we know that), the author's pronunciation is awful.
Thank you for the compliment😏
@@francoismasuabi your pronunciation is totally fine man.
