At times your body, arm or hand are obscuring what you are doing. You need to be on the opposite side of the table to the camera making the film. The viewer will then be able to see everything clearly. Run the video again and you'll see this for yourself. Hope this helps.

My first thought was of not being as sharp as you hoped, maybe set the timer to eliminate still touching the camera as the shot is taken

Great job looks like the one I copied from Bear Mountain Builds, I added wheels to make it portable.

I built all my work benches from pallet wood and peoples dumping furniture on the side of the road, total of five. Took time finding the wood for the legs. I used pocket holes for the joinery much stronger than butt joints. You have made a good start on a wood working shop. Look forward to seeing your next next project.

Tooth pick piece too.

Love your quick simple videos, you should do more!

Hi just a quick question your lighting system re red and blue bulbs was it ordinary lighting system. Also loved your photos too. P. S a friend has given me some shells so I would like to experiment with them.

I wish I could do this to my floor joists but I got like a hundred of them

fun stuff!! 💪🏼💪🏼 creativity & fun always makes for a good day!!

So handsome amazing work

So handsome

I like this video so professional

Your so handsome

So handsome and knowledgeable

Sucks.

That looks absolutely amazing

So handsome

Lucky you I placed mynorder on day 1

Thanks for sharing your process! I chuckled when you said that wasn't as sharp as you thought. I seem to be constantly saying that about my photos. :)

your lucky i placed my order on launch day and still nothing

Hi there. I'm from the UK but am visiting India. I ordered my Z9 a week earlier and got it, indeed, after a week. Interestingly they sell it here without the (separate) charger but they include FTZII. Lens prices vary from the same as the US to as much as 15% cheaper in the case of the Z70-200mm (a great lens)

Hope everyone gets their camera. I'm not an NPS member. I ordered my camera Oct 30th, 2021 from a Nikon Authorized dealer (but not a camera store). I received my camera less than one month after delivery started on Jan 23rd, 2022. The store I ordered from is a large company but told me they do not sell a significant number of high end bodies (although they offer Sony, Nikon, Canon, etc). All I can say is my friends are still waiting and hope to get the camera this month or in April. Just growing into organizing the camera for the way I shoot and of course it has made a huge difference. For those that say (and I have friends who do): You can get these shots with a DSLR (D850/500/D6), I say of course you can, but I can consistently get them nearly every time out. For action/wildlife/sports (in my humble opinion) and for Nikon shooters the proof is in the shooting and experience.

That was quick. It seems that Nikon is putting the US ahead of other markets. I’ve been waiting for over 2 months here in Sweden.

Hello Timothy, That was quick must be one of the quickest, Mine took 5 weeks which I was very surprised as I did not order it till midJanuary, after hearing so many peoples are taking months I was thinking my Z9 would to, great work Nikon.

If you lived in S Africa >> you can start expecting your Z9 in Oct 2022 Onwards

I ordered mine from B&H on October 29th....Still no word. Non NPS member

Really interesting Timothy enjoyed it definitely give me some room for thought no fancy gear simple and well explained thank you

2022年一月，看来你的预测正逐步变成事实。尼康已经收缩产品线，只专注于专业用户。而你就是专业用户，你所想就是他们会做的事。

Speak to the Chip Makers !!!!!

Join the crowd. Most of us that pre ordered prior to Nov 5th are not likely to get our hands on them much before the summer, especially if you did it through B&H, which I did as well. It's been a debacle with NO communication from Nikon that our orders will be satisfied any time soon. So enjoy the first have of 2022 like most of us and keep using what you have. Because we won't see them for some time to come.

Strange to see anyone taking a Jared Polin review seriously...🦘

looks like a great camera.

I only care will the Z9 fit my hand as well as my old D3 and the AF interface is intuitive.

To much money for this retired nurse,I will keep using my d 750 & be happy with that!

Although I have nothing to back this up, I wonder if the sensor in the Z8 might be larger than full frame, like the sensors in the Fuji medium format cameras. It appears as though a slightly larger sensor might fit in the Z mount. If it happens, that would give Nikon the widest sensor range of any camera manufacturer (correct me if I'm wrong about that). The D850 was a game changer for a lot of folks; a medium format Z8 would continue that legacy.

This is why I still keep my D810. If I get a Z, it will not replace it, it will merely be an addition. Right now during the pandemic it makes no sense for me to buy another camera, as I am mostly stuck at home.

The Z8 would not be a vlogging camera and should not be - flip out screens make the weather sealing inferior - If you really need to see yourself while shooting - get the Ulanzi UURig Vlog Customized Flip Screen - it fits in the hot-shoe and you can flip your rear screen to a perpendicular position to the ground and then the mirror in the Ulanzi displays the mage forward - works perfectly well for vlogging - for anything more serious in video you need an external monitor anyway. The Ulanzi is very inexpensive $12.95 - it also provides 3 additional cold shoes for mounting microphones or lights since you will be using the camera hot shoe for this device. It works like a charm - a great $13 alternative to lowering the build quality of the camera. With respect to you wishlist, I do not think that Nikon will make a mirrorless camera that uses the same exact layout of the D850 nor do I think they should. There are problems with the D850 layout - it requires two hands to operate many of its functions, which can be done better with mirrorless and one hand. What they should do is include more custom function buttons - for example if the Z8 had 3 custom function buttons on the front instead of 2 and maybe a couple more elsewhere on the body (if all custom buttons had the ability to be programmed to any function) then this would suffice for layout. Also, they should add the back illuminated buttons like on the D850, but that is likely what they will be doing as we already know the Z9 will have that from the images we have seen. Basically, the Z8 needs to be a Z7 with better AF (subject tracking - tech from the upcoming Z9) - the Z9 is claiming to have AF subject tracking that is better than the D6. If this is true then it will have AF that is every bit as good (if not better) than Canon and Sony. The Z8 simply needs to inherit this tech and the lurking AF issue is put to bed forever. I agree that 2 CF Express would be the way to go, back illuminated buttons and more customizable. Additionally, it should be a very high megapixel camera - just like the D850 was when it was introduced. The Z8 should be at a minimum 60 MP but I think the 80MP range would be best - assuming that they have the Medium and Small RAW options where you can shoot the sensor at say 45MP in Medium and 24MP in small - this way we have a choice and event shooters can use the small or medium while hight end portrait and landscape folks can use the 80MP. Additionally, it would be 35.2MP in DX mode making it a very respectable resolution for DX shooting - good for folks that want to attach a DX lens or use a FF lens in DX mode to get more reach. At 35.2MP we are talking basically D810 quality in DX mode - pretty awesome - making this camera the best 'all arounder' in existence - which is exactly what the D850 was when it came out. As far as frame rate goes - I think that 12 FPS is plenty as long as there is full time AF/AE and all points can be used - with NO blackout on the screen and very low latency. I watched an interview with a pro sports shooting recently and he stated that there is NO need for any frame rate above about 16 FPS as any competent photographer can get any shot at that rate for any sport. Anything more than 16 FPS he said was just for marketing purposes and I tend to believe this is true even though I am not generally a high frame rate shooter. If they do at least 12 FPS on the Z8 with no restrictions this should be good enough for this camera as the Z9 is the powerhouse for fast frame shooting, and if the Z8 will be pushing 80MP files 12 FPS is probably plenty. In video it should do 1080 up to 120 - if not 240 - and 4k up to at least 60 using the FULL FRAME - even if there is line skipping thats fine - its the DOF that most videographers want and the quality can suffer a little as this is not the camera you would get as a pro videographer - that would be the Z6II or the subsequent Z6III using Blackmagic RAW - so go ahead and line skip but do NOT crop the frame!!!. Also, 10 bit Nlog should be internal. The video should output to both cards for redundancy and with NO time limit on the recording - this limit is software induced and a relic of the past - Nikon lets move on - please. With all these additions the Z8 will be the best all around camera for Nikon (and really for any brand) and that is exactly where the D850 sat when introduced in 2017. Thus the Z8 - the replacement for the D850. -B

Thank you! I loved this video 👍

Appreciate the tips. Love the macro setup you have there. A great way to spend time during the lockdown?

The “High” in Lightroom HDR merge is not referring to quality of image but rather for ghosting removal when the images are stacked. Also, the Moon is not a gray scale image. There actually is a lot of color in the moon ranging from blues and purples to reds, oranges and yellows. Just Google color photographs of mineral deposits on the moon and you’ll see.

Your photos are amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I'm having the same dilemma Tim , I'm invested in Nikon and want a fast hi res fx camera , really hope the Z8 and Z9 satisfies that need , but at what cost ?

Inspiring work! Can't wait to try. Where did you get those very cool desk lamps with the coned shaped translucent shades? Love them! :))

Thanks for the great indoor photography series. The ease of set up and virtually endless possibilities are really helping me get out of my COVID funk!

What are the red and blue bulbs? Do they get hot? What light do you have under the aquarium?

Great ideas,thank u!

great inspiration!

My favorit is the shot at 3:21!

Your photos are fantastic and awesome.
