If you were buying a NEW Nikon full frame camera today and could choose between these three cameras, which would you go with and why?
D500 isn't full frame...
Jared Polin d750
anything that shoots above 360p
Zing!
D850. /Thread
I had to buy a new camera recently after my D750 was stolen. I had the option to buy the D850, Z7, 76, or the D750. I was 95% certain that I was going to buy the D850. After doing a TON of research, I bought the D750. Why? I shot with it for 4 years and wanted for nothing; fast and accurate auto-focus, great image quality, incredible low-light performance--even by today's standards...in fact, it matches or outperforms many new cameras of the same class. The D750 is less than half of the cost of the D850 and Z7, and about $500 less than the Z6. The D750's auto-focus outperforms the Z series in tracking moving subjects. I'm also not a fan of the digital viewfinder in the Z series; while it's nice to be able to see what your picture will look like before you take it, it decreases the battery life, and doesn't show you what you'r looking at in real time in burst mode (small delay). I think a lot of people get caught up with certain specs of a camera, and don't think too much about what they truly need; they just want the newest camera with the highest resolution. Nothing wrong with that, but in my opinion, there's no need to spend more money than you need to.
Good choice, my D750 is still flaming hot - the raw files incredible, no ospdaf. Bought myself another D500 yesterday, why? Toughness. Polin may test a lot of gears but I've never seen him crawling in snow and mud (good luck with the Z in fricking minus degrees - will drain batteries as inserted)
@@805atnorafertsera6 i thought z body is weather sealed like d750. im was thinking about trading in my D750 to z6 but I guess I'll wait for now
@@Adrian-tw8un tricky decision, I'm trigger happy but will wait with the milc myself. There is a lot of technology in them I want but there are still a couple of chechbox to check for my needs, like evf frequency and autofocus performance. The D500 I can abuse in the wild without worrying, will not risk that with a +2k new milc.
@@805atnorafertsera6 yeah they’ll have to baby those mirrorless cameras. The first 2 foot drop and it’s history.
Right ✅
Why your camera recently?
Absolutely the D500 for sports/wildlife
No ! it is good for all !...
Which one... D750, still a great camera with dual card slots 😊
Damn right it is . 👍🏻
It is a very good imaging camera, but dual SD is still SD, which are notoriously unreliable and slow. One XQD has a far better Mean Time Between Failure time than SD which was never designed for critical applications....plus they are very expensive if one wants faster SDs. Those panning theZ cameras for 1 slot just do not seem to know the technology and are assuming all card and bus systems are the same...no they are not.
You have never heard of anyone losing data with an XQD but we all have had problems with fragile, slow, non-error correcting, non-error detecting SD. Sony states that out of millions in use, they have had only one card fail. They have been used in the D5 and D850 for years and Sony top pro video cameras even longer and they only have 1 slot. Why would a pro-spending $30k on a video camera want only 1 slot? Because they have a lot more experience and knowledge of the topic than youtube gurus who seem to not know how different they work. It is like claiming the PCIe+ advanced bus system on modern computer storage is the same as dumb interfaces and media of 5.25 floppy disks. That is the tech era comparison that fits. Next year all the video-capable mirrorless or new DSLR are going to have XQD because it is the only system fast enough and reliable enough for pro use. TheZ 6 and 7 are the only current cameras on the market that can work with ProRes RAW video format because of its higher internal bus speeds and advanced technology of the PCIe+ that is proven for years in high-end computers.
So then you agree that D700's with one slot ares superior to SD's?
D500 has a 200 frames buffer even in 14bit.
Once you hit 200, you simply take your finger off the trigger and you can go another 200, so its virtually unlimited.
The D750 is absurdly amazing for what it is. And so is the D500. The Z6 is another monster as well. If I had to choose the 3, I would jump on the Z6 since I'm investing more time on videos now. The D750 is still hella capable for what it is too! I agree that if you can find a D750 for under $1300 (or even under $1000), it's a hell of a deal. I love my D750!
Even if QUALITY video is something you occasionally need, it's the way to go. The 750 and 500 are a no go in that regard, save for the most simple video. And I find my Z series stills as good or better than my 500 and 750 shots in nearly every situation.
Once again, completely glossing over what makes the D750 a perfect choice for many. You can cite ISO figures all you want, but the fact of the matter is the D750 has low light ISO performance, shadow recovery and dynamic range unmatched by the majority of new cameras, and certainly blows the D500 away in those respects.
Why are two full frame cameras being compared to a crop body which has a completely different intended purpose (sports and action)?
Colin, what do you expect from Jared?
UFGator1972 something more than spec comparisons and sniff tests.
@@CFster, sorry but that is not what he does. He is just selling products for Adorama.
I was at my local camera store a few days ago they had a D750 customer return in for the second time because of a main board failure the D750 is not a good camera too many recalls!.
Stephen Gatley BWUHAHAHAHA!!! The D750 isn’t a good camera. That’s a good one.
D500 always
d750 for events d500 for sports and z6 for video thats my view
Own a D750 and a D500. D500 is in a class of its own. It’s bad ass.
Dumb video with comparable criteria that is invalid. "But it's a crop camera" was said often enough to just rule out the D500 so why did you bother comparing it to the FX bodies??
Vídeo estúpido, como são todos os vídeos que este gajo põe aqui.
@@joaquimsousa3319 não chega a ser tão estúpido como o teu comentário
@@pedromiguel2772 Estúpido és tu.
Did you even watched the video, lol. He explained why he compares exactly these 3 cameras :D
Come on guys, you’re just reading specs. Don’t you have a controlled set of test subjects when testing cameras and lenses? Comparing the same photos would’ve been more helpful thanJared just yapping.
There are Real World Reviews for each one of these with the photos from each one. These videos are *intended* to be a video form of the side-by-side comparison lists you can look through on websites like Camera Decision.
Azenturi, I think you may be missing my point. If you want to waste 20+ min of your life watching Jared read out specs be my guess. This video is a BS money grab video, nothing else. He gets paid per views, per comment, etc. he also talks a lot of $hit, so he should know to be at the top of his game or people will call him out.
@@thinkingape7655 I think I'm spot on with your point. You're complaining about a video not having something not intended to be in it, but we'll ignore that part for now. The "money grab" has been done for years here and yeah, I get why people don't like them. Some people do. I just treat them as a talking head thing because I already have an A7III.
Calling someone out for mistakes is fine. Beating them down for them isn't. And calling out mistakes that aren't being made is asking for trouble.
@@RealRaynedance, awe look at you, coming to a grown man's rescue. Give me a break. But I do like how you're the one who implies Jared made a mistake. All I did was make a recommendation. You seem more butt hurt about it; which is very odd. bye, bye silly goose
D500 every day
My Nikon D3s stil rocks in 2019!
The are superb
The D750 is still a good camera in 2020.
Just bought one...i wanted a full frame but didnt have the money for a z6...i wanted to go with the sony a7riii but again, i dont have 3k to spend on a body and 1 lens....rather bought this and i will try to find a 24-70 2.8 vr...and im sorted pretty much...i know its not the latest tech but what can i do. Still was using a d7000 these days...i think it is a good upgrade. If will be able to sell my photos, then im gonna maybe upgrade for newer gear.
im looking into buying one.
i know its stupid not looking closely into mirrorless because the technical aspects are really great, but i love classic stuff and i even thought about getting into analog photography
D750 is still a fantastic camera. I just added one new to my full frame Canon collection from Best Buy. I don't care about focusing points I only use one center focus points. NO VIDEOS !
Only photography !
Sammy Tolomeo, camera companies need to sell their products so the latest will always be the best.
I don't agree about the sensor in the D500.
First of all, yes, it is an APS-C sensor. But that is not a disadvantage that should be counted against it. APS-C is just a different format for different situations.
It also has the same native ISO range.
When I look at images taken with both cameras they pretty much look the same. The difference only comes down to the quality of the lenses being used.
I just sold my D500 for this reason its a fast camera but my D750 files look better and the Z6 looks better than the D750
@Urban The dynamic range of the D500 is lacking compared to the D750, and maybe the Z6 if you're not pushing it past 5 stops. It's got speed but the IQ is still not going to compete with the D750 or the Z6.
@@KungPowEnterFist Who are you replying to? If your'e dropping coin for a FX camera or a pro level DX camera, you're not the casual photographer. Those people use their phones.
That's not strictly true regarding image quality. The D500 has noticeably more noise than the FF cameras at high ISOs. I agree with everything else you said and the D500 is by far the best of the 3 cameras for sports & wildlife. That extra reach is a huge advantage.
It;s always amusing people trying to claim smaller sensors are equal or better than FF sensors. LOL you are fantasy land. The Z6 FF sensor is 2x the size of the D500. So not only does the Z6 has 20% more pixels the pixels are 60% larger and the Z6 sensor is also BSI (back illuminated) the D500 is NOT. The Z6 sensor is much superior to the D500.
Ive shot the hell out of my D500 in 14 bit RAW and Ive never hit the buffer.
@MLWATKK I'd argue that if you shoot sports and action, the D500 is vastly superior to the Z6 and might well be the best camera in the world for the job if you're shooting in good light.
@MLWATKK With good glass it gets the job done in suboptimal light. I put that caveat into my statement because it contains the words "best camera", not just "good camera". In dimmer conditions the D500 still does well, but not as well as a D5/1DX II/a9.
@MLWATKK I'm shooting a lot of f/2.8 glass on my D500 as well. But I gotta say, for fast action in low light I do sometimes find a little too much grain for my liking in the images.
@MLWATKK As I said, it's good at what it does. That's why I'm using it. All I'm saying is that for low light action, there are better alternatives. Just not anywhere near the same price point.
I hit the buffer at every bike race I shoot
you should have shown the actual photos of the same picture for all 3 cameras. specs are a good general description of a camera , but the actual photos are the real proof. your video represents only a partial example of the 3 cameras. Looks like a Nikon promotion video for the Nikon Z6. Also the statement you made in your header is wrong. (I took three of Nikon's "affordable" full frame cameras). The D500 is not a full frame camera. Oh and the D750 does have WiFi, come Jared you can do better. I like your video's but this one seemed a little Bios towards the Z6 which I think is a great mirrorless camera. But I also think the best Mirrorless camera on the market is the Fuji Film Mirrorless cameras.
For a reason. I changed to it and it takes fantastic images....
Image quality in the APS-C cameras are definitely much noisier and hence lower quality than FF cameras. Having said that, if you're always shooting in controlled lighting and/or low ISOs in natural lighting, then noise doesn't even come into it. If you are often forced to shoot at ISO 6400+ then an X-T3 isn't even in the race.
cooloox Youre seriously underestimating DX and the D500 lol. Most people couldnt find a difference between crop sensor and ff
Anthony Hostetler I also have the d500 and love it. Its doing a good job and i wouldnt uprgrade to ff eith that pricetag
tbh ff and dx are pretty heavy camera do i undestanf the advantahe if mirrorlesd
@@cooloox If you are shooting till iso 1600 I bet you could never tell the difference :) With a little post processing I would even say iso3200.
4 years later, this is still a heck of a great comparison review! Thanks Jared.
*D500 gang where you at?*
The D500 was never selling that well ,the D750 was always outselling it,the D500 is awesome but i prefer the D750,and now i prefer Z6 over D750.
D500 op
I currently have a D500, love it! I want to go with a Z6 BUT I will wait for 2 card slots. Fingers crossed.
hopefully they make the pro version with bigger grip/ body.
I agree, the Z6 does look very small body wise. Great camera though but would be better with two cards, didn’t understand that move by Nikon.
D500 never disappointed me... Still a beast... A very little amount of people do care about sensor...
, as I had the same question in mind, you can put an eye right down there: www.fullexposure.photography/nikon-no-dual-card-slot/ . Cheers.
@@SuperFucdat I think they where after Sony, on all subjects, size as well and they could not electronically fit it
If I have to pick one of those 3 I will take the D500 every day.
That is the sane choice for almost any usage scenario.
Agree! Also Jared, how is it that a D750 was a great camera years ago, but today it is not? Isn't it the same camera? I shoot with a D4S, D3S and a D500. All three are wonderful cameras and they always have been. The 20x30in prints my D3S made in 2010 are still 20x30in prints in 2019 and my D3S takes the same amazing pictures. Don't listen to people like this!
This is an ALL AROUND comparison of what these 3 bodies offer, which encompasses stills and video. And regarding video, the D500 with it's crop/crop treatment of 4K and lack of autofocus really isn't even in the discussion. I like the 500- it's a fine camera for wildlife stills, and I still own one. It's the finest crop sensor camera that Nikon has ever made. Let's leave it at that.
I own a D500 focus on surf photography but have done works for restaurants and fashion designers as well
On a serious note how would the d500 compared to my Nikon d5300? I want to upgrade but there are too many options
D500. Reason is continuous shooting. Video is not much important to me thats why
What do you normally shoot? Just curious why continuous is the most important thing to you. I find continuous useful too, even for street photography, at times. Joggers, cyclists, skateboarders, etc. When photographing couples it's important to have good tracking for when they walk towards the camera.
@@cooloox hey coolox, i dont own i d500. I own a nikon d5600. Continuous shooting is important for me bcoz i just love bird photography, capturing that perfect moment is really awesome. I get fantastic results even with the kit lens AF-P 70-300. And for that reason i choose d500 with 10fps. Its just amazing
@@cooloox Z6 even has dynamic area af, but still since it is the introduction phase of mirrorless cameras, i think it is not suffiecient to match the dynamic area af of d500. Its super super cool than of z6. Mirroless cameras will still take few years to be at par with dslr in terms of photography (continuous shooting with tracking)
Your bias is showing. The D500 is still best for sports/action/wildlife. I wouldn't touch a D750 after all the recalls and shutter issues
The D500 is good for those purposes(sports and wild life) the Z6 does everything else better ,who will buy a D500 over the Z6 ?....soprt photographers i guess.
I've had a d750 for over 4 years now and never had a single problem with it ... now have a d850 but still use my 750 as a back up.
Weezy G. I’ve had two D750s. Never had any issues.
Nikon fixes the recall and you have a brand new camera. Get over it.
recall, but there were no real issues. I never sent it in, got day one or the first week.
Now in 2022, a low shutter count D750 can be had for 1/3 of a price of a Z6 and even a Z5. F-mount lenses are cheaper too. Obviously a great choice for those on a budget.
I don't care what you say about my precious D500 because I love it. I had to start working out, no lie, to carry it with the 200-500mm. That's 7lbs of weight on hikes upwards of 9 miles.
I know its been a year but how do you handhold a supertelephoto? I tried hand holding a 150-600 contemporary on my d3500 and I was shaking the whole time
@@jeepjoseph9036 I started with a Black Rapid camera strap sets the camera on my right hip. I realized after while how cumbersome that was, and prevented me from using any other lenses on hikes, so I ended up getting a camera backpack.
@@Wynner3 how do you hold it while shooting?
@@jeepjoseph9036 Right hand on grip, with left (on 200-500mm) under push/pull ring, and thumb on focus ring.
I'm watching this whilst I'm still shooting with a D700! Who else is rocking it?
I do! 14 years and counting! Some dials are getting lazy tho...
As a D750 owner, the only reason I really want to upgrade to the z6 is the edge focus, I don't like focus and recompose, I never had to do this with my D300s. I also want to do more behind the scene videos as well as promo videos for models.
D750, 24-70 2.8 VR, 50 1.4, 70-200 2.8 VR. Put the best glass on that body and forget the rest.
joh24 you think the 1.4 is better than the 1.8 50 mm? I’ve not seen one conclusive video on this question. D750 is my body w/ 24-70 2.8, 70-200 vr11 2.8, 85 1.8, and 50 1.8
@@Jrome719 i got a great deal on the 50mm 1.4 that's why i bought it instead of the 1.8. I've never used the 1.8, but i'm truly happy with the 1.4. For me it all goes down to the budget.
Thanks, and “ditto.” That being said, will you upgrade to the D850? I just wish the D810 had the D850 focus system. I really don’t need 45 mega pixels as an enthusiast.
@@Jrome719 I hope so! I don't need 45mega either but there's so much more on that body, hope i can get the budget in a near future to buy it. But i'll keep my D750 for sure
Jrome719 depends what you want, d750 have better low iso preformance then any d8XX, so for wedings and events is better 👍
D500 - 29 14bit raw files??? You should read the manual...
Yeah, he got that a bit wrong. Not far off if you have it writing simultaneously to both cards (something that Z6 owners could only dream of).
In 14bit lossless compressed, writing to the XQD card only, I get about 190 frames until slow-down, so the D500 beats the Z6 on that one, unless you're Jared Biased Polin...LOL
Glad someone said it.
I can hold down that Shutter feeding a fast XQD card all day and she asks for more.
God forbid you switch to 5fps to match the Z6 in Continuous Low and never fill the buffer.
Oh, and apparently DX = Always a negative with this review lol.
D500 rocks...... Just got it 6 months ago and love it.
360p squad assemble!
Watching these in 2023 with the decision to buy a Nikon D750 and F100 last year and both If them are such great cameras, even in 2023.
This is great! so what about the Z6? Should i go for it?
Feel like you've done 10 of these already with the same title...
I purchased the Z6 in mid December (coming from a D810 & D800) and haven't looked back. By far the best Camera I've ever used and I still think that in many aspects it's a better buy than the Z7. As far as a work horse camera I'm at about 35K shots and every now and then it will freeze where you have to take the battery out and put it back in but I'm assuming a software update is coming soon to fix that. I really wouldn't worry about the memory card issue as I haven't yet heard of any issues with the Sony XQD cards messing up. This camera also forced me to start doing video. I used to contract out my B-roll snippets to other videographers but because it can compete with the Canon & Sony's of the world, I save a few bucks and just do it myself now... Sucks the Ronin S is compatible with the Z7 and not the Z6 but again that's a software fix. Anyways Jared I would love it if you did a review of the D850, Z6, and Z7. Where the Z7 fails (low light) the Z6 flourishes and I also think it would be better for sports work. Anyways great review and if you have a spare 30 seconds check out my work at www.eyeofdion.com
I own the D500 and Z6. I think its a bit unfair to give the Z6 the check points on focusing points. If you are shooting moving objects in stills then the D500 wins every time! Yes I understand totally the point of having the focus points in the z6 but I have found the D500 is going to get sharper (images even with DX noise ratio) and more importantly as its going to get more of those fast frames in focus! I get more keepers. I don't mean to be a twat about it but lets say you have to shoot a football game *uk and you have the D500 and Z6 your going to get paid for more images from the D500 over the z6. To put some balance I have had no issues focusing using single focus points in afc or afs for low light shooting that other reviewers have said about the z6, but for sports there is no way I would rely on the z6. Also the 14 check marks regarding the video is SO DAMN TRUE!!! Its amazing that Nikon came out with and I love my Z6.
The d500 also shoots 14bit uncompressed at 10fps as well
@Darcey, Agreed. The D500 has the same AF as the flagship D5. And this Fro guy claims that the entry-level mirrorless z6 wins over D500 on focus points? C'mon. There are certain moving shots that the D500 captures in spite of user error because the AF acquisition is just that freaking good! I would respect this review more if Mr. Fro would talk about the camera bodies in context. For example, the z6 has really good video so if you are into that kind of stuff . . . the D500 is probably the best (pro body) crop body for fast moving wildlife/sports so if you are a wildlife/sports photographer then . . . and so on. These *blind* comparisons he tends to do add little value. However, I hope he makes more of them so the "millennials" can buy more "mirrorless" bodies and shinny new objects which will continue to drive down the cost of 4+ year old camera bodies. I just got a D7200 in great condition for $300 (plus shipping) the other day because the guy wanted to upgrade to mirrorless. He even added a 50mm lens so he could sell the camera quickly. Ha! I'll either keep the wonderful (pro-sumer) camera or sell it for a small profit.
@@XlogicXX where did you buy your D7200? I want to buy a used D500, what are the best places to look for it?
@@BELTR. eBay, craigslist, FB
His check points on the Z6 are always biased when it’s close. He’s the biggest f*cking camera fanboy waffled on TH-cam. He’s the type to meet a girl at a club, take her home and bone her, and in the morning say he’ll call her and won’t as well as acknowledge her existence😂🤣🤣
What's the point of ISO 200,000+? Or 100,000+? Like...Why?
if you have zero glass, i would buy sony a7iii
3 years after, using both D500 and Z6 I can confirm with confidence that SPECS LIE, Jared! D500's autofocus speed and accuracy is yet to be matched by any single present Nikon mirrorless so far.
Wow that’s impressive!
Do you recommend it till now 2023?
Jared, I'd like to ask you what to choose nikoz z6 or fujifilm x-h1?
Thanks!
The mount should have been a tie imo.
The f cameras can drive old AF lenses, which the z-mount cannot. With the aperture ring feeler they support all f lenses since 1977 to their full extent.
Sure the z has a couple new lenses, but doesn't af the old af lenses (which are still widely used in portraiture and fashion)
Also, did they remove the wifi from the d750?!
Holy cow, you are right, it does support AF-D lenses. Jared has always seemed to have something against using or at least acknowledging the AF-D lenses. And no, they did not remove thr WIFI.
@@pafaccount4454 tbf, Jared doesn't really know what he is talking about in general, which is partly why I unsubbed quite a while ago.
If you fancy another interesting fact, AF-D doesn't technically exist, although it's a very common misnomer (I think ken rockhead is to blame).
I own a D type lens that has an AF-S motor (and there's more, 17-35/2.8, the old 300/4, some of the other super teles), and three G type lenses which have the old AF screw type (and I think there is more). There's even a few (or at least one, not 100% if there's more) screw AF lenses that predate the D designation.
Pointless, useless knowledge dump out. Have a great weekend :)
@@scriptosaurusrex I think Jared is smart and I respected when he blasted gear whores, but he seems really bad about being one himself. Being 4 years old does not mean anything. I just bought a D700, and its 12 years old. The clickbait is what made me unsub.
@@pafaccount4454 d700 is great! I am on the verge of selling mine, but can't quite make myself. Too many memories with that tank of a camera!
Enjoy yours :)
1 memory card slot kills the Z6 for me. D500 all day. I do not buy a DSLR for video. If I want video, I am buying a video camera. I dabble in photography, not video.
Yes ... that and the need for an adapter for F mount lenses makes the Z6 a non-starter for me.
Don't think this was a fair comparison at all, just a promo for mirrorless. How do you skip over two of the most important features for pro shooters: 1. Grip and overall comfort in the hand? 2. Menu and shortcut speed and accessibility?
But body only the 750 goes for $1300. Where the Z6 goes for $1900
$1800 for a 750 with a lens or $2500 for a Z6 with one.
So the real question is do you spend for the Z6 or save $700 and get a D750 kit?
So the Z6 will be obsolete in 4 years, the D850 in 3 years and the D500 in 3 years. Why bother spending thousands of dollars to keep up with the next greatest thing just to dump it a couple years later? It's a revolving door of spending. I still have my grandfathers instant camera from WW2 and it still works great.
There is a big difference. Almost all the features of my D850 and earlier cameras is hardware constrained. No new features or changes in performance are coming. Think of the Z cameras as software driven and configured like a Tesla EV. They can add or alter features every week, and do. Same with the Z cameras. Nikon overbuilds the hardware with a much faster processor, far far faster data buses than needed. Nikon announced their first feature add, 3 of them that would have been impossible with a more hardware oriented device. It is getting:
Eye AF which a lot of people wanted for some reason.
They are getting ProRes-RAW output from the HDMI port that mates with the Atomos Ninja 5 that turns the camera into a high-end video production camera and will cause millions of video shooters to buy it
And it get full compatibilty with CFExpress with its 8gigabite per the second read-write over 8 pipes and hand the 1 Terabyte capacity super fast and reliable CFExpress.
Those would normally require designing a conventional camera. Since Nikon planned to to be future proof, owners will keep them longer and just keep upgrading free firmware updates like Tesla does. Want add killer 3D tracking? It only needs the firmware to tell the camera to do it.
This is the most future proof camera on the market and by far more than Nikon from before. Sony and Canon are surely going nuts trying to figure out how to counter the advances of the announced firmware update. Since they both built their cameras the old way, hardware-constrained, they have no excess processing power to add things like fast card slots. They made the architecture of the a7 series just enough in power to fit the model being released, to add ProRes, they will have to invest in much more modern data protocols in the next version....and XQD card slot.
Why not try a previous gen camera battle? Nikon D750 vs Canon 5D iii vs Sony a7ii since they’re all good ways to get into a full frame system for cheap (When the D750 is on sale).
Just bought the D600 hopefully I’ll be fine. Coming from D3000
Been using a D600 since it launched, still going strong. Though be sure to keep an eye on the condition of your sensor, the D600 is prone to oily dust spots...
@@Samsonimages Those which had the lube spray were sent in for a new style shutter assembly so it would be rare to see one that was still in the original condition..
The D600 creates great images, with decent lenses it performs very well
@@stanspb763 Guess mines rare as I think I never got the memo to send mine in! Oops. But regardless, brilliant camera for the price.
Still no Grip on the Z6 September 2019 .
Yeah that’s true I am still waiting for the Z6/Z7 Battery Grip.
I’m in the market for a D500 to get into sports photography! Super excited
The D750 does WiFi, and connects to your phone using Nikon's old Wireless Utility app.
What about now in 2022? Hows the z6 hold up?
I used to love your videos Jared but this is just a waste of time If you shoot video get the Z6 but for everything else choose one of the others 29 shots before the buffer is full on the D500 is a blatant lie no serious user can use the Z6 without redundancy and according to all the reviews the AF is junk I am pleased Nikon is making a mirrorless camera but it is 1st gen hopefully they will listen to customers and their 2nd and third gen products will be better (This was the same for both Sony and Fuji) to take the Z platform seriously Nikon will have to roll out more quality lenses as well
cool, I don't agree.
@@froknowsphoto, I agree with him... the vote now stands at 2-1.
Jared continues to shoot in uncompressed RAW as he doesn't believe that lossless compressed is actually lossless, so that's probably why he hits the buffer at 21 shots. 99% of people won't have that issue and I disagree with the assertion that the z6 is a better af system than the d500 also. That's when I stopped watching. He's the only one to find that in his testing
The z6 is a great camera better than the other two but that is depending the field. All around z6, fast shooting situation d500 and cheap camera but good all around d750. It is what it is.
Make that 3-1
I'm still loving my D750, to be fair I'm still loving my D700 too. Image quality still holds up today. Looking at Z6 (2, possibly 3 if I wait) only because I'm looking at video. For my shooting, portrait and wedding I could stay on D750 until it dies.
D750 has small EVF and no joystick.. but for budget buyers it's a good deal.
As an owner of a pair of D500s and a Z 6, they are perfectly complimentary. When I need more resolution I would pick D850 over Z 7 though..... orrr GFX :)
OVF you mean
@@Jayy_Arra oops lol yes... too much mirrorless talk lately.
Thank you very much for helping me
You miss a point about the new mount. You can't mount af-d lenses even with adapter with Z6, and a lot of people still own af-d pro lenses which cannot be used anymore (of course on Z7 with higher megaPix maybe you can find optics limit in some cases). So it miss something (apart from the second card slot :D). Btw still want to upgrade my D610 :) d750 the cheap way, because it improves a lot the autofocus, which I hate on D610 :/
Not correct. You can, but the down side is that you can only focus manually
@@kaijan2808 yes of course 👍 no aperture control also, but ML can live with that
Yep, another area where I would have given the check mark to the D750 and D500. The new mount may well be a future-proofing concept but it wouldn't offer any benefit to me and would restrict me with regard to my D lenses.
@@GoneToHelenBach also this has increased lens price now, and for the future as new standard is possible to see higher starting price 🤔
@@nerdMike
Edit: I double checked. The d series lenses have full aperture control from in the camera.
So you only have to manual focus the AF versions of the D or G lenses.
The adapter is missing the aperture ring-feeler for AI/s lenses, but like a cheap dslr it will still actuate the aperture accurately, although you will need to stop-down meter.
Old post:
no aperture control? You experienced this or read it somewhere?
Because d-series lenses (both the AF and the AF-S ones) all have a chip. Even if the chip for some reason didn't work (I don't know, hence I am asking your source on that part), they D lenses still have an aperture ring - do you lose the metering preview or aperture functionality completely in that case?
Basically, All I got from this was: Buy a Z6 used for same price as the other two... Idek why this video was made, doesnt really tell you anything important.
I lately shoot much with the d700.. you get some with much accessories and grip for sometimes 450€ and its awesome, low megapixel but great iso performance and it makes fun to shoot with it... Can recommend it for people who wanna get into full frame Nikon world, but only for stills no video mode or propper live view at all
I think the queastion is Z6 or D760 :-)
I been trusting Jared for a long time he knows Nikon and says things like they are,and the real world reviews are pretty accurate,i know how to shoot ,specially Nikon,i own all 3,and i think the Z6 is the better choice,even better than my trusty D750.
D750 is still the best FF camera there is. All the others have too many flaws and deal-breakers.
Not better than the D850. You lose there. No flaws. Definitely going to go down as an iconic Nikon just like the D700, D500, and D4s.
Can't use all of your older lenses on the Z6. Only AF-S and more recent. Check mark to D500 and D750.
Hi Jared,
I’m getting to this hobby. I have two young sons that are playing soccer. I currently don’t own or never owned a DSLR camera.
What would you recommend?
My wish list:
Full Frame
$1500 limit
What lenses do you recommend?
$1000 limit
Where are good store that you recommend new & used equipment?
Thanks
Danny
Daniel Pais not sure why the fixation on a full frame
But the D750 is an affordable option on the full frame side and you can use the rest of the money on glass. The glass is what makes the big difference than the body
Though if you’d consider crop sensor I’d say check out fujifilm x-T3
It has I think 30fps which is great for sports and has all the pro features since it’s from their pro line and the Fuji lenses are quite good from what I read.
Plus the jpegs they produce straight out of the camera is quite good aswell for a quick shoot and has all the good features like eye auto focus etc which would be missing from the D750
With 4 major product recalls why would you ever consider the D750. With the Z6 being a complete turd with poor focusing, single card slot and no battery grip why would you consider it. And as the D500 being DX (but still the best on the table and an unfair comparison) this would still be the best option.
Manual focusing is way easier with the Z6.
Alexander Hartmann that’s fine if you’re shooting video. But with today’s auto focus systems there is really no need to manual focus anything for stills, really.
Carl Cooper so you’re saying go Sony? 🤷♂️
@@GRJCLyon A picture taker might not see the advantage but a photographer has a lot of interest in picking the focusing plane precisely and not depend on a camera guessing where the focal plane should be. MF on a DSLR is a pain and very inaccurate but on the Z6/7 it's a dream,, even better and more accurate than the old micro-prism on better film cameras. There is no back or front focusing issues on mirrorless like DSLR struggle with for razor sharp. Try a Z6 or 7 sometime and you will see the difference. My Z6 has become my go-to camera and D850 and D800 sit most of the time in the bag. It brings fun back to photography. Using it in MF mode is orders of magnitude better than DSLR. In a well-conducted high ISO test between the D5 and Z6, the mirrorless camera give more detailed, sharper quieter images well past ISO 51k and still had more contrast and detail at 102k than the D5 and after that, the D5 lost less but still had degraded image quality...in other words, it was not great but degraded less at stratospheric ISO numbers.
@@stanspb763 been shooting with d 750 and d 500 since the day these were released....ive had No problems with em anytime in manual focussing or low light focussing.. everytime both beasts whipped up razor sharp photos in near dark conditions . (Iso 8000 in d750 is a dream ...!}...i respectfully disagree. No matter whatever tech jargon or other shit you throw at it, not gonna make any difference worth a rats ass.
Well ...... The focus peaking is a desirable feature. I agree..not must. Can do without..
Why is the maximum video quality only 360p? Or am I the only one?
no you are not
because youtube takes some time to add the others
the video was just made public, YT takes time to make 1080p availabe

I was starting to think there was something wrong with my computer...
"You will not get a checkmark for your one stupid memory card!" (15:45) LOL! LOVE IT!!!
will my D series screw drive lenses work on the Z6 adapter? Are these D lenses redundant now? Love to know what people think. Thanks.
I can get a d500 or z6 which is best for wedding ? all this talk and haven't talked about the file transfer of photos to cell phone ? PLEASE help
If I'm shooting astrophotography and wildlife should I get a d500 or a d750
I Currently have a D750....in your opinion: Would it be best to upgrade to a D850 or D5 or go mirrorless (Z6) or wait a little longer? I normally shoot portraits, weddings and some sports...PLEASE HELP!!!!
D500 is only surpassed by the D850 but with sports I would take the D500
I know it's got nothing to do with the video but I would appreciate some advice.
Sony a6000 or Nikon d3500, which one should I get?
i didn't have enough money so i had to buy a d750😶
but i absolutely love it
Dx format is handy sometimes. I would recoment D500 if you need crop Fx Z6 anyway. Because of resolution.
How does mygearvault app protect my gear?
How does the z6 keep getting checks?
I know this is an old video, but what about weather sealing? What about rubustness? How about ease or control? Dynamic range?
How does a crop sensor mean the files are smaller? That's illogical.
Also, having to use an adapter for legacy lenses, do you want ine per lens, or do use stick with a single adapter which wears out faster and introduces potential errors with the legacy lenses? There ongoing costs right there.
Also, this was made when these were all still selling in retail stores. Time moves on, and people are looking for this kind of info for used gear.
I felt some of this is tongue in cheek and Jared is sick of the continual "which is best" requests, but it does get the clicks so he does them with a bit of flair to help him get through the pain.
First time I have ever felt that you have been biased in review, trying to raise Z6 sales no doubt, ISO given to Z6 for example because D500 is a CROP camera as you mentioned, why bother reviewing it in there at all then????
It’s crazy to me that the D750 is still a relevant camera in this day and age. I know that depends on your definition of “relevant”. But my definition of relevant depends on the product that camera can produce and as far as I’m concerned, the D750 still produces completely relevant results.
It was my first camera I ever bought and used. Made me my first dollars with both photo and video and I launched my business shooting on it. Yes, I launched my business shooting video on a Nikon DSLR in 2018. Crazy, I know.
Obviously the D750 becomes more and more irrelevant as time goes on, like all things, especially with a new system and lens mount out ahead of it. And I wouldn’t advise anybody buying a full frame camera to buy a D750 over a Z6. BUT I honestly wouldn’t advise anybody to go sell their D750 at this point to get a Z6 unless they ABSOLUTELY needed it.
All that to say, I’m incredibly impressed with how the D750 has stood the rest of time lol
P.S. that’s coming from somebody who has since switched to shooting Canon as I became more video centric and purchased my C200 for client work
It’s still relevant because it’s an insanely good camera. The D750’s were what the Mirrorless are now. The recalls mean nothing for those that want to mention it. I bought new cars with recalls so what’s the difference? Anyway, the camera was incredible and still is incredible for all types of photography. If the images came out of it were fine when it was out then they’re still fine today. The cameras don’t stop working because they’re 4 years old. Cameras now are good camcorders which is why it seems weird that it’s still around. If Mirrorless never happened the D750’s would still be one of the top dogs. It’s only added features on new bodies that give them their depreciation. However you could get the same image with both. 👍🏻
GRJCLyon so true. It is a fantastic camera
@@SamLucas26 Yeah man! I almost want to buy a herd of them. LOL!!!!
GRJCLyon lol, I sold two for $1000 a piece when i switched to canon.
Do a pencil vs fountain pen vs typewriter next. I wonder what would win?
Where were you 6 months ago? I went for the D750 with a Tamron 24-70 g2 and a 70-200 g2! I'm very happy with this combination! Compared to the 5100 is a new world. The only negative thing is the limited focusing points.
Hey comments section I'm a new photographer wanting to upgrade I like to dabble in all photography but have a passion for wildlife. I've been saving up for a while for a camera upgrade (shooting on a D3100) which do you think would be the best bang for my buck and honestly looking between D750 and D500 not there z6 any feedback on which to invest in is welcomed Thanks.
I wish I could agree with this review and that the z6 could be more like the 500. The D500 is one of the greatest action cameras of all time. I want that Z6 to be good so bad... what a bummer.
I didn't like the focus of the D500. I always felt it lacked super sharpness of other cameras. That is using pro lenses.
Jared Polin I think you are right , but it is just a tank. If you feel that the z6 can hang with it I will have to hear you out. I have literally canceled my order on the z6 because I am so undecided about it. To me it seems like it should be the best camera in Nikons lineup - 12 FPS , 25 MPs full frame. Light gathering better than the legendary d750. That af-c performance though... so iffy
@@tedemery82 Are you sure you need any new camera? It is not a rule you must upgrade, few people take images that challenge the capability of a D5600. For stills and single point, you would get a much higher keeper rate with the Z cameras, the AF, if you select the appropriate focal plane target, it will focus more accurately than any DSLR, that is just the nature of mirrorless. See the difference between live view and OVF, the latter might be close but never as spot on as the LV on any of the DSLR. The Z6-7 is like being in LV all the time except with either the rear screen or the excellent EVF. Even in very low light or particularly in low light, the EVF worked great.
If you are mostly shooting small birds in flight, or unpredictable sports paths of action the D500,850 and 5 have a better 3D tracking, But any other sports or wildlife where the photographer knows the sport or animal behavior well, they are not dependent on spray and pray and The D850, Z6/7, and D5 are best. My D850 sits in the bag a lot now that I am using the Z6. The D850 is for commercial studio shots that really need 45mpx. Most of those shot are manual focus of course. For my subjects; ballet, theater, portraiture, fashion, dance clubs, jazz clubs, studio work and products. the connectivity is great for wireless backup in events at 1gigabit per second over a 660-foot range using the WT-7 works perfectly. It nails focus if I place the focus point on the target, always perfectly focused, ease of MF, and low light, the Z6 is first out of my bag. Most of the few sports I shoot, just as hobby, such as track and field, cutting horses, auto racing, competitive ballroom dance, all where knowing what is coming next means getting the shot more than super AF. The easiest sports are predictable for those who know the sport well and hard for those who don't. Drama and ballet are a snap if you know the play or choreography and if you don't you are not likely to even get permission to shoot. For ballet, in the top ballet theater, Mariinsky Theater in St Petersburg, even for dress rehearsals I needed to demonstrate my knowledge of the ballets and that the camera is low enough noise. I have permission to shoot with the D7000 because the shutter is very quiet but never could shoot my D850 or D800. With the Z 6 I will go over to get a new permit since the mechanical shutter is really quiet and I have the choice of silent mode.
Find out what your real needs are, forget lists of features, most make no impact on your work. All cameras are good now, even Canon has decent sensors now. Do you shoot outdoors in changeable weather? If so, D500, D850, D5 and Z cameras are your only Nikon choices. By the way, many lenses are not sealed well but the S lenses are very well sealed, as well as the cameras are which it a nice bonus. Do you really need a fast burst? If it gets much faster it out to be shot in a video. From what I have observed, few subjects need long bursts and learning more of the behavior of the subject is more useful. Nothing replaces fieldcraft animal photography, allowing getting close, and being in the best location for the behavior you anticipate. Depending on magicAF tracking and long bursts reveals a lot more about the skills or lack of, the photographer than the target. Many of the classic sports photos are shot manual, such as most of the iconic bat meet ball shots in major league baseball and single shot. that is for the same reason a batter can make contact even though he is so close and reflex needs to be tempered with fine anticipation. Shooting from FB side, 90 feet away and a small batters box prefocusing is the easy part. Since the camera is prefocused its response time is faster, often a lot faster so mf works by being more responsive and it is your anticipation and timing against the pitcher, much easier task than the batter's since you are following a movement parallel to the focus plane and do not have to deal with the closing distance the batter does. Auto racing, track and field are all handled with slow burst or a single frame, and fast burst will usually result in more oof frames. with any camera. Burst on the Z6/7 is a little more challenging, the first frame is always spot on, better focused than DSLRs but the next might not be. With a D500 most will be acceptable by none as good as the first with the Z cameras.
If you need burst or want burst, no one NEEDS burst if they know the target, rent the D500 and don't even look at the Z6, because you ARE going to want a Z if you use it for a few days. Another question, do you even need stills, most action is better covered with video and the Z6 is a superb Video camera that this spring or summer will get the firmware to be the only general purpose camera to be able to shoot ProRes RAW which is essentially for video what NEF raw format is to stills giving far more adjustment range. While everyone else is shooting baked in JPGs you would have much more flexible details 12 bit video.
@@froknowsphoto I am confused as it doesn’t seem to be consistent with your real world review where “tack sharp” and “super sharp” are used as descriptors multiple times. In your comparison to the Ben Folds pictures D500 vs. D5 you stated: “The fact that they’re pretty darn similar is a testament to how good this Nikon D500 is.” Why do you now totally discredit the camera?
The EVF doesn't work if the cameras off, I like to frame a shots in my view finder before taking a photo. Its unconscious
sending the d750 back ? it's still 1169, euro, is it still good to buy ? or would you go for 1800,00 euro Z6 now in 2019 ? and the 810 is 1599 euro
but you can't use every single f mount lens on the z6 with its native features like the d750 and d500 can?
Hi there, I really need some help here:
So, I´m new in dslr world, I never used a dslr camera before
I have a 2000 euro budget
I have 2 choise:
-1. Buy D7500, now discount to 1250 euro with 18-140mm f3.5-5.6G kit. If I buy this, I have money to spend on 50mm f1.8g and buy a tripod, bag, memory, and some other stufs.
-2. Buy the Nikon D750 Kit + AF-S 24-120 VR for 1899 euro. That means I dont have money for other stufs, just for memory, but no bag, no nothing.
So, the 2000 euro question it´s, as a novice beginner, buy the d7500, or the d750?
I want to use it:
1. To learn
2. Then make food photos for web and for restaurant photos.
3. Later for wedding and portraits. Wanna make some money.
And here its my theory:
If I buy D7500 I will have a lot of accessories with I can easely learn and work. Then If I like it and I´m getting pro, I still can buy a used d750 and use the optics from d7500 (please correct me if I´m wrong)
Please comment the answer
I would suggest getting a decent body with great glass, I'd suggest a 7200 (because of no aa filter) with a 24-70 2.8
You might struggle on the wide end but you can decide what lenses you'd need after shooting a little more
Then you have plenty of money left over for maybe some prime lenses or accessories
@@ZedExGaming Hi Zed, thanks you for reply. The problem it´s, in Germany only 100 euro it´s the difference between the d7200 and d7500.
Nice, comparing the spec's list but as a photographer, which one does best in what kind of situation?
A used D750 came into my work today. I can buy it for $500 and it's in great condition. Do you think at that price it's worth the purchase despite the age?
thats an awesome deal
Daniel Garza sure!! You’re not going to regret it. I own a D750 and it has been the best choice since I came from a D5300.
I used the d750 for 4 years. For photography the image actually still hold strong, the z6 image looks the same to me.
Just because is 500. Yes but remember that DSLR are going away eventually.
@Ivan. Nobody is saying we are going to stick to DSLRs. Unfortunately mirrorless cameras are right now just like Teslas, a whole new revolution and it doesn’t infer they’re bad. Some of us just have the pleasure of snapping pictures here and there without having the most recent model. That may be somebody’s desire, but not everybody’s.
Guys, help me out, I recently had to sell my d500 and d810, and now I only have $2000 to buy new gear, I wanted the D750 because of my budget, I also want a tokina 16-28, but a friend of mine who is a Nikon technician told me that the D750 has shutter issues, and now I don't know what to do, I want de z6, but then I couldn't buy any lens, any advice?? I do sports, weddings and corporate video.
THIS IS YOUR CHOICE, ALL 3 WILL GIVE YOU GREAT IMAGES.....STOP WITH THE B/S....
Hi! I have Sigma 18-35 1.8 and 50-100 1.8.. the best solution for me is the d500?
As always enjoy watching you. Very informative and very lively.
The D750 is constantly 1300 dollars brand new, while ive never seen the z6 under 2000. Then for an additional 200 I can buy a 50mm for the D750 but good luck buying a Z lens that cheap so you should go with kit which is 2600 dollars or buy the ztf adapter which adds even more on top of the 2k.
Point being, the D750 is too good of a value currently to be compared to something like the z6 and it be a fair comparison. z6 or D850 should be the comparison as they are in the same price range when it comes down to it.
Sir, will u please tell me how to activate time lapse, focus shift in Z6 as it shows it can't be active in current state or current setting in camera... I tried every thing but didn't get it activated...please Helo me sir...
Autofocus reactivity is a very important point, and imo the z6 don't get it's check mark over the reflexs..
Hi Jared. Just a question why didn't you take the D850 as the FF dslr competitor knowing that it has an AF as good if not better than the D500?
I want your help what do you think Nikon p1000 or canon t7i?
