I think these comparisons (DSLR vs Mirrorless) are good. But like everyone I have seen, and I have seen a ton of them. The newer camera always wins the reviewer over. I get it, the new camera has better options, or it fixes something that the DSLR could not fix.
A couple of years back there was a well-known photographer in my area, that has done all types of photography for well over 40 years. Has an amazing studio and tends to be the first pick for photos in this area. I saw him at a shoot and noticed his main camera was a Canon EOS 1D Mark II, that's right an 8.2 Megapixel DSLR. I could not help myself, so I asked, why are you shooting with a 15-year-old DSLR. He kindly said, "I have no need to upgrade". Blew my mind, that someone that makes a living off his camera choose to stick with a trusty body like the 1D Mark II. But I would assume he mastered that camera and does not see a reason to move up in camera.
Given he doesn't work for a magazine or newspaper. But his work gets printed a ton more than other photographers. That is when it downed on me that the newest, latest, greatest camera's we see on these review video's get overhyped a lot of the times. So I slowed down and started looking at older DSLR's that would have some of the options the new ones have that I would "Need" vs wanted. And well the D4 is where I get most of those needs from. So I waited and found a really good deal on a used Nikon D4.
Thank you for doing these video's it helps others like myself see that the difference between a 10-year-old DSLR and a new Mirrorless is not nearly as far apart as it may seem.
Yeah the D4 is still a beast!! I've moved to mirrorless, but I also don't think everyone needs to. It comes down to personal needs and priorities in terms of how you wanna use the camera. :)
I can't get enough of SP in Japan. 👍 Good that I have seen the last Livestream with Samuel otherwise I would have missed this great channel here. 😀
Thank you for coming over! :)
We want Chika! Is she coming back to the channel? Nice video, btw. I love to see the different impressions from mirrorless and DSLR.
I'm trying to get her back! This request might encourage her. I'm also thinking of making a simple video where I just go through and compare the key difference for me between shooting the D4 and Z6 when it comes to urban photography. :)
How are those relevant to the previous comments? Are you just spamming advertisement?
Always therapeutic to see Lukaz shoot in the streets of Tokyo. I was thinking of having a video of shooting in lower lit areas in Tokyo.
I'm glad to be therapeutic, haha! It's good to spread positive vibes into the world. :)
I'm enjoying your photography videos very much, photography is a hobby for me ( by choice) and love seeing other parts of the world through others. I'm particularly loving your walks around the cities in Japan as I have many Japanese photographers following me on Twitter so it's nice to get another prospective and learning about the culture as well, so thank you and keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you like the videos! :)
Thanks for taking us with you on that interesting photo-tour again and explaining whats going on in your mind while searching and shooing. Ikebukuro looks superb for streetphotography at night, must visit it one day. You have a great feeling for atmospheric cityscenes, nice shots. Best channel, love it!
Thank you so much!! Glad you like the video!! :)
Thank you for the lighting tip(with the lockers)! I just ordered a Z6ii to replace my d750.
Awesome!! I really hope you enjoy it! :)
Love to see a video with all 3 cameras, showing why you would use a particular camera for a particular shot, their strengths and weaknesses for a particular shot, etc.
Thanks for this. All my Nikons are film, but I still enjoy it because the camera/lens settings are generally the same, regardless of brand.
..Joe
Thanks! I want to do that but I also don't want to go back to shooting the vlogs with a phone. I'm thinking to get a Z50 so we can shoot videos of the Z6II on the streets. We'll see. :)
Oh didn't realise there was a part 2, you got more into it in this video ;)
Had to get warmed up! :)
I love my z6ii, but would also love to have a D4 as a companion for it! Great stuff as usual.
It's a nice companion, no doubt!! :)
Your videos are very down to Earth and helpful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!! :)
After six-straight hours of manual dust removal for my Showa35mm stuff, it really makes me want to go shoot! Watching this will have to do for today.
Go for it!! :)
I love the Voigt snaps the most. If feels like you know that lens so well.
Yeah, it really is my go to lens! I just wanted to talk about AF so I brought the 24-70mm, but I almost never bring it for my own excursions. Typically I have the 40mm and a 28mm in my pocket. No bag. :)
If you turn on flicker reduction on the z6ii, it should solve the issue with fluorescent lights without requiring you to reduce shutter speed: another nice feature added to recent Nikon cameras.
I thought that was only for video, no? I do have that setting enabled, but it doesn't seem to do anything for photos. I could be wrong though! :)
@@EYExplore I think it was only for video for the d4, but it works for stills on my d850 and presumably on the z6ii as well.
@@michaelchristofferson3841 I see. I'll give it a shot! :)
People will always try to justify why the newer camera is better. Pixel peep, dynamic range, tracking, etc. Pictures are just like English papers and photographers like English teachers. To each their own.
Yeah, totally to each their own. Everything I say in this video is just my opinion. I'm not trying to justify anything. I only share my thoughts. :)
The weight is one of the issues I have with this camera and the price of the lens.The 40mm lens seems like a good way to reduce weight fo a particular application.Another costly item even used. Interesting video thanks
I'm not sure what you mean. Anyway, I don't use this lens to save on weight. I just love it. It's great for me, and I'm happy to pay the cost. If you want to save weight on a budget you can get a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D for about 100 bucks. :)
@@EYExplore What I am getting at really for hiking hill walking it is too heavy to carry.It is a great camera beside that and takes great vivid photos 😃
Regarding the split-prism etc. style of focusing (when you mentioned Leica and other MF centric camera's ) - you CAN get that on your dSLR as well. You have to buy a different focusing screens of your desired choice (i.e split-prism) which is user replacable, and very easy to do. Katzeye used to be an amazing brand for it, and that's where i got mine cause i use a 50/1.2 AIS 70% of the time. But they recently went out of business. But sure you can find plenty of other brands/options. Give it a try if you want.
I have heard of that! I never really pursued it though. I might try it out and perhaps included it in a video. :)
Yeah, they are out of business. Guessing the Mirrorless camera's put them out of business. Besides they did not make a on for the D4 or any Pro Body FX D3/D4/D5 or D6.
Another interesting and varied video, as was part one. One question i have is, at what time of night were these photos and video done? It's interesting how the neon light pops given different shadows and sky colour. Add to that, the amount of people around that make street scenes interesting.
This was between 6 and 7pm or so. It gets dark pretty early here in winter. But even later at night the streets are pretty busy with people! :)
Ikebukuro?? Yup I was out there shooting two nights go!! Nice pics
Nice!! :)
Love to shoot the D4, mostly side by side with the Leica M8 or M9-P. Maybe I will add a split prism focusing screen to speed it up against the Leicas.
Nice combo!! :)
Use also the Nikon D4 but with AF-D prime lenses. Like the Nikon AF DC 135mm f/2D on it. Like it better than the Nikon Z9.
That's great! :)
Interesting video but I’m really struggling to understand how the latest cameras are beneficial to shooting on the street. I still work with D3’s and a D4S but find them too good for street photography. What I mean by this is that the images are sterile and too clinical and lack any sort of atmosphere or emotion. I find exactly the same thing with my Fuji X100s mirrorless and other modern cameras I have tried. I still much prefer shooting film in a manual camera, Range or SLR as it makes you work harder and gives an image that you actually want to look at. It’s very hard now to distinguish between an image from a Z6 and a good mobile phone, all images are ubiquitous. All the great street work was shot on film and even the best work today is still taken on film. The camera companies want to make money so are telling us we can’t work unless we’ve got the latest technology and are pushing hard to sell them. The camera is only a tool and a good photographer can get a great image on whatever they are given.
There is no need to understand anything! Don't feel any pressure. If you love using your cameras, keep loving and using them! :)
Thanks your tips. I learned
Thank you! Glad to hear that! :)
After owning and trying a couple of lens amd bodies. I start to realise having good lens and a variety of them is more beneficial than different bodies. Just buying the best body (doesn't have to be brand new) and equip with couple of different types of lens is enough for a not professional photographer
Yes, totally! Glass over... Not glass, haha. And even with lenses, eventually I figured out what I need and stopped buying them. :)
If it came down to Omega watches, I would choose automatic, mechanical, watch over the quartz minimum moving parts any day. The quartz watches have no soul or heart.
The same Mirror less cameras have no soul give me a DSLR any day. Camera with a soul.
I dunno. Cameras are just tools. Photographs are where the soul is. :)
@@EYExplore
Okay, you go shoot with a pinhole camera and I’ll take a D4 and see who’s is better
@@kchappelle Right, so we agree. They are tools. Different tools for different tasks. You were talking about 'soul' not function. A pinhole camera is obviously an inferior tool for most tasks compared to D4.
I mostly shoot fujifilm xpro 3 and xt4 but I’m seriously considering a Nikon d4 or d850 for nature .
A D850 is excellent for nature/landscape photography!
Update- I now have a d850 and a d4 😅
“Thats a really nice tip”, it is, thanks
:)
I’m using Nikon D810 and want a second camera - been waiting on the developments if Nikon’s mirrorless so it’s been interesting to see what you’ve thought. We did a photo excursion with Charles in 2019 which was great. We’ll be back in 2022 (hopefully). Any thoughts on looking at the wider Japan (south, islands and coastal for landscape)? These are areas I want to explore more on.
Thank you for joining us in 2019! There are tons of natural landscapes in Japan that are quite beautiful, but I haven't been south very much. I usually end up north and have been to Aomori a few times. It was great! :)
Yakushima is great for rugged coast, trees, waterfalls. Nagasaki and Kagoshima (and on the ferry to Sakurajima) are great southern places to visit on Kyushu.
@@louisemarston9225 I really want to visit Yakushima some day!! :)
Thank you for this video, Really useful information in your videos! I see you use voigtlander 40mm f2 for street very often. Could you please tell me do you make comparison between nikon 35mm f2d and that voigtlander? I'm thinking to by this manual lens and already have 35mm f2d. I'm also in street photography and recently bought Nikon DF.
Unfortunately, I never used the Nikon 35mm f/2D. Actually, 10 years ago I really wanted to buy this lens, but when I got the Voigtlander it didn't make sense, so I never got the 35mm. The key difference is AF vs. MF. If you want to get into manual focus and zone focusing then I think the Voigtlander will be better. The Nikon 35mm is best use as an AF lens. :)
Just found your channel, subbed. I'm curious what settings you use in the Shooting menu for the D4. I'll search your back catalog to see if I can find a video where you've talked about that.
Thanks for subbing! Which specific settings are you curious about?
@@EYExplore Awesome! You said in your video you read your comments and you just proved it. You have won me over already. Looks like you saw my other comment where I did ask about a specific setting. I don't want to pepper you with a bunch of specific questions, though I could. I've seen other creators who go through their custom settings, particularly settings they have discovered help them streamline their workflow and/or affect the quality of their RAW files (also noting which setting only apply to JPEG). I've owned a D600 since it was launched and just now located a low SC D4s which is on it's way to me so I have a renewed interest in figuring out optimal Nikon settings. Thank you for any insight or pointers to specific resources you've discovered that you've found helpful.
@@marka.200 Glad to hear it! I see what you mean. I personally like to do things in post if possible. So, things like white balance, picture control, etc. I don't really worry about in camera too much. I did mentioned that I use Neutral and that's just to get a better idea of the image when reviewing them on camera. I also keep the NR off, the vignette control off, Nikon's D-Lighting off.
I do use Long exposure NR on the D4. It makes a difference (though it doubles the time it takes to shoot a long exposure). On my D3 and now Z6II I feel long exposure NR makes no difference, but on the D4 is does!
Other than that, I already explained the ISO settings in that other video... what else... I set it to sRGB in the camera, though I edit in Adobe RGB, again it doesn't matter since it's raw and can be changed later. Also, I use the 14-bit raw option and use lossless compression. I think that's about it! :)
@@EYExplore Awesome, thanks! Really simplifies the issue for me. I just joined your Patreon, keep up the great videos!
@@marka.200 Thank you so much becoming a Patron!! :)
Is that a lens in your pocket…or are you just happy to see someone?❤
Haha :)
4:25 Who dares to enter the gnarly door on the right with CRAZY written on it? 🤪
Hahahah, you know I never noticed the text as it's kind of hidden in all the rust and grime. Good eye!! :)
Talking to camera with mask on doesnt work for those of us who lip read!
Yeah, I know. This is an old video. I don't wear it as often in more recent videos. Also, believe me, when I don't where it people complain that I'm not wearing one. It's impossible to both wear and not wear one so inevitably I piss off someone. Can't make everyone happy! :)
