Great job man. Loved how you pointed out all of the great features and how useful the camera can be. I can’t wait to get a chance to take my Z6 out in the field. Lovely photos as well.
Thank you Photo-me-ike! While it's not a perfect camera, the z6 is really a very good camera and there are some other great things I haven't talk about in both of my videos. Enjoy your z6!
This is a fantastic review - probably one of the best review videos I've seen on TH-cam. So many other reviewers just waste the viewer's time talking about irrelevant nonsense and never really get to the point or have nothing useful to say....or just repeat what they read because they have no actual experience with the product...or, worse, use clickbait titles and exaggerate problems in order to generate more views. Your video was to the point, fast-moving, covered all the most important topics, provided solid evidence, seems well balanced, objective and credible and you have a pleasant presentation style. Well done, sir!! :)
Thank you so such kind and positive feedback feedbackbro! What you said is exactly what I tried to achieve with my channel so glad to hear all these comments from you :)
Bamboojled absolutely I have to agree! No brand bashing nor hating just a straight and honest video! I still struggle with choosing between these two cameras. I want to go full frame, coming from a Nikon D5500. Not because the D5500 is bad, but low light and DoF is a real thing for me. Saving some money with the D750 (excellent camera and sensor) or invest in the future system with Z6 and mirrorless....struggle is real even though and take the photos not the camera :)
Thank you so much for this video. I love how you stick to the point and simply presented the performance rather than try to make yourself look smart by explaining the meaning of life and the significance of blah blah blah. Your presentation was very professional and I am definitely subscribing to you. It's so refreshing to hear you talk about autofocus performance of the Z6 compare to D750 in the dark indoor. I think this is the most important aspect of any camera/lens system that takes rigor on the reviewer's part to ascertain. Thank you.
Richard, Thank you for these Z6 vs D750 reviews. I currently have a D7000 and am looking to upgrade hence your reviews answered a lot of my questions about which of these 2 cameras is more suited to me. The Z6.
Great comparison! Exactly what I needed since I have a D750, and just recently ordered a Z6. I can't wait to put the Z6 through its paces. Thanks again for a wonderful video!
Thank you. I own a D800 and Fujifilm X-Pro2 + 3 lenses. Thinking of selling the Fuji gear (many reasons) and getting the Z6. Doing more video these days and have heard the Z6 is even better than the Z7 in that department. Incidentally, I have owned a 105mm for 4 decades -- once my go to portrait lens. Still put it on my D800 occasionally.
@Raymond Parker I still have my four-decade old Nikon 105 f/2.5 AI lens as well and back then, it was often used with B+W Zeiss Softar 1/2 filters. Nowadays, I have to switch from using my Nikon DSLR to Canon when I want to shoot portraits with the Canon 85 f/1.2 lens.
I recently returned my Z6, It's a good camera, but for a working photographer it adds so much to my routines shooting weddings.I don't need to explain how critical dual slot cards are for a working photographer (won't argue that here). But, while the e viewfinder, full frame focus points, and touchscreen are awesome, having to change my adapter, less than ideal battery life, makes it hard for shooting long weddings. The biggest point however, is that the picture quality in both harsh and low light are identical to my D750 and D500. So, if my photos are identical in quality, I can wait for the second gen Z's with at least dual card slots. I once had a corrupted SD card and forgot to put the second one in my camera for a weeding.. thankfully it happened before Yelp :D. Thanks for the video.
I'm using D750 planning to buy another one for back up... but when I saw your comparison ... Wow definitely it change my plan... thanks Richard for sharing this video.
Slow Motion - Great video! You can get the Z6 to render the video in slow motion in camera by selecting 1080p/24x5 (5 times slow motion). If you use the 120fps option you will have to do it your self in post. The 120fps option gives you sound. The 1080p/24x5 does not record sound.
hey S Kanjilal thanks for the comment! Glad this is what you want :) Oh you can also watch my Z6 vs D750 review there are more sample photos in that video, those are all SOOC JPGs
@@TheRealRichardWong Now what is your sincere suggestion wether to buy D750 or a Z6 for my professional assignments, except Nikon 50mm f1.8 no lens in kit. Guide me please
Excellent review. Well edited and informative. Let's see... there was the N6006, the Coolpix 995, D70 the D200 and D300 followed by the D600, D700 and finally, the D750. Incidentally, the D750 is far and away, the finest camera I've ever had the pure pleasure of owning. That being said, you've done a great job of showing off the features of the Z6 and thereby forcing me to draw an imaginary line between want and need. I certainly don't "need" a Z6 however, "want" is a different story.
Thank you S.E. Kunkle. Yes I agree if you already have a D750, a Z6 would be more a "want" than "need". Some people may still prefer the D750 instead of Z6 for battery/dual card or other reasons
To reduce the flickering, you need a shutter speed that is similar to the frequency of the light. I found that 1/100 works but you have to play with the shutter speed to get the right one depending on the light source
Flickering on the finder is not a problem for me, pretty helpfull to stop using silent shutter when needed! Battery of course drives much faster than on the d750, however for the battery itself never notice than the en-el15 and en-el15b shooting with the z6
Ouh sorry the phone translate some things ^^' yeah would say that the two batteries give the same result, just a marketing thing to buy the much expensive b batteries, so old d7000 ones work as well just no charging in the z6. It will just glow a bit and then the light will stop meaning I will not charge that thing
I've tried that but didn't seem to help the EVF flickering issue. But to be honest I didn't have too much time to play with the settings so I will have to test it again next time I have problem
Hi Richard, very nice video. Considering getting a Z6 as mostly a 4.2.2 video DSLR with the bonus of taking all my Nikkors. The fact that it at least equals the D750 as a still camera is also very encouraging. Thanks for the insights.
Hey Ted. Thanks for the comments! Yes it's definitely at least as capable as a stills shooter and wayyyy better as a video/live view camera. I have done a few more professional jobs using the z6 now and honestly I find it hard to go back to DSLR in the future
There is a big difference in volume between narrated parts and the music part. perhaps you can equalise it so that there won't be a big jump and drop in volume throughout the video.
Hi Alan thanks for the feedback. I did already applied almost 15db gain adjustments.. obviously still not enough! Will try improve it in the future thank you!!
I have a nikon d5300 and I really want to upgrade to either of these cameras, I'm leaning more towards the Z6 currently due to that viewfinder. I have a prime 50mm 1.8d lens that I can't auto focus on my d5300, and I'm always looking through the live view which eats my battery quickly. I think both of these cameras will be able to auto focus, but the viewfinder + stabilization of the z6 for low light photography seems like exactly what I need. I really can't decide!
This is a great help to me. However I really want to see more about the printed output difference of the photos taken by both in terms of details and colour.
Great review! I have been debating either to upgrade from my aps-c Nikon D7100 to D750 or Z6. I think it’s the D750 because of the dual card slot, battery life and no adapter. Will think on the Z6.
Nice review thanks! I'm gonna stick with my d750s for a little longer. I was thinking to upgrade to either 2 d850s or 2 Z6s. I tired d850 and it's just over killed for events use. Z6 seems good but the IQ is very similar to d750's..I don't see much of an upgrade despite a smaller body and the bright view finder peeking..but traded off with much less battery life and only 1 card...not good for full day events.
Hi Patrick. I rented a Z6 this week and compared it to my D750 files. For still photography I found the D750 files are amazing sharp as compared to the Z6. I find the Z6 to have less noise over the image but the sensor doesn't record details as well as the D750 and the images from the Z6 actually are smoothed out considerably and the detail is lost in shapes and patterns. The images are smoothed out too much. Detail is lost and also color noise shows up as artifacts throughout the scene in ISOs as low as 10,000. Edges and details are smoothed out considerably in the Z6 making for a less then real effect. I thought I would have been blown away with the images quality and high ISO performance as compared to the D750 but not enough that I wanted to jump out and get one. I love the electronic viewfinder, so much easier to see, image stabilization is great. Autofocus better but I wished the image quality and detail was better. Still on the fence if I will make the change. May stick to my D750s for now.
Thanks, that was very informative and a lot of practical information. Good job. I was surprised there wasn't much of a difference between Z6 and D750 in terms of image quality.
Great video! Have you used that Sigma 50mm 1.4 art lens with video? I'm curious how well it performs while auto focusing in video and how loud the focus drive is and if you can hear it in videos.
Awesome review again my friend. I’ve decided and had grabbed a Z6 last monday. So far so good, quite very different from my D810 but in a good way. I like it overall but needed to test it more in the next couple of days. I know I’ve made the right choice and will be good to have a lighter setup for my everyday job for sure. Cheers!
haha, can't resist the temptation Danilo? yes i think you'll like it and it should be a good complimantry camera to your D810! Maybe I'll bump into you with your Z6 on the street soon!
I am shocked, we have the exact same two lenses you used here, the Sigma 50/1.4 ART and Nikon 16-35/4. How do you find these two lenses? Do you prefer one over the other and any problems with any of them? I used both on my D750 and haven't picked up any other lenses.
Haha they are both great lenses and I use them both a lot! Don't really have any issue with them they are really reliable works great for me both professional and personal work
Thanks for a great review! Perfect timing for me. I use the D750 and are considering the Z6. The strongest argument for me is the video quality and the silent shutter. I do a lot of sports photography, have you compared the continuous autofocus between the two?
Yes I have done some comparison. I would say the d750 is better for pros as it allows more way to track your object some more suitable than other for the photo you took, while the z6 uses a more simple design which benefits beginners more as you don't have to learn much about what AF mode/setting you should use. But overall the difference if any is small
@@TheRealRichardWong "while the z6 uses a more simple design which benefits beginners more as you don't have to learn much about what AF mode/setting you should use." that's true both ways
Nice job Richard. Thank you for sharing with us your great experience and the many thoughts about the Z6 . Just curious if you could tell me what is that cubical device you put on the hot shoe of the camera in this video and what is the use of it?
Hi Kelvin, that's my GoPro session. My plan was to use it to capture some behind the scene footage unfortunately most were unusable due to the flicker caused by the lights outside the venue. I also used the GoPro to film my lunch break series videos
Hello, I need your advice please, I'm a wedding photographer & I'm confused weather to buy the z7 for portraits beside the d750 for the party, or get the d850 beside the z6. Can you advise me what to do please. Thanks
Hi, do you feel a big difference on the weight and size of your 2 cameras. I have the d850, the weight and size difference is my main reason i am looking into z6, thanks
Yes definitely the z6 body is much lighter. However remember the lens could be half or more the total weight of your camera setup if you continue to use your f mount lenses then the total weight saving might not be as obvious as you might think
@@TheRealRichardWong thanks, i am thinking of using z6 when i am traveling not for photography purpose, street photo, and daily use. And my D850 for everything else, birds, actions and high res landscapes etc., what do you think of that?
Great review, so tempeted to get this camera and add it to my set up, Richard are you able to say if the Z6 is better for low light, ie concert photos? Many thanks, John.
hi John, thank you! Compare to the D750, yes the Z6 should be better for low light, you can check my Z6 vs D750 review i did some high ISO comparison shots and you can see the Z6 is better in high ISO with less colour noise. But that is only when you are shooting at really high ISO.
Richard, many thanks for your reply, I will check out your other uploaded video reference the Z6 iso noise, many thanks - great informative videos. Regards John
Thanks very good review. Now I'm torn between this two cameras (Nikon Z6 and D750) and the D810. I do astro, social and street. Sometimes birds and sports but mainly I want image quality, good ISO at 6400, accurate auto-focus and good dynamic range. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
if you want good high ISO performance, D810 is definitely not the best choice. Z6 and D750 are quite similar but Z6 is slightly better. Between Z6 and D750.... D750 is probably a bit better for fast moving like bird in flight? But I do like the Z6's EVF which allows me to preview the exposure, colours..etc and the autofocus is also easier to use for everyday photo especially with the face/eye detection
Thank you for your fantastic videos. I just subscribed to your channel. I think i'll be getting a Z6 as an upgrade to my D700 soon. Just a little question though: is it possible to have a live histogram and digital level displayed inside the EVF for stills? Can you do an AF-C comparison between a Z6 and D750 (also in low light)?? That would be very helpful!
Thanks for the sub! Yes you can have live histogram and level displayed inside the EVF. Can't do the AFC comparison right now as I don't have the d750 with me. Sorry
I understand. How would you compare AF-C for stills in Lumix S1 vs Z6 ? i watched your comparison videos, unfortunatelly AF-C test was during video shooting. I would like to see a real life stills shooting of moving subjects with the use of AF-C if that would be possible.
Someone told me I would need at least 30 MP for a good quality print at A2 size and that is why I am currently looking at the z7, but I think the price is just much too high especially compared to the d850.
Definitely, I was getting prints that size years ago from a Nikon D3, (don't listen to pixel peeping gear geaks who think you need the most expensive kit to get results:).
@@JohKemStYl3 with larger prints, you usually stand further back when viewing the print so the pixel density could be lower . What it means is, an A2 print doesn't really need double the pixel of a A3 print. People have been printing out billboard posters from < 10MP image and they are fine for same reason. So yes higher resolution would be good but not really needed unless you are going to look at the photos really really close. I have printed out many A3 prints from my D700 (12MP) for my wedding clients and i never had anyone complain to me about not enough resolution
Would you be worried about losing AF performance coming from the D750 to a Z6? I'm thinking about the switch, but I'm worried about the AF, specially in low light. Thanks for the video!
I didn't use AFC because I normally don't use AFC when shooting events. I have tested AFC quite a bit when reviewing the camera and found the performance comparable to the d750
How do you rate the Z6 when used with a flash? I'm close to buying the Z6 but am still not sure! I've recently found out that the AF assist beam from a mounted flash will not work with mirrorless cameras. Have you had any issues when photography indoor events in low light etc? Thanks! Eric
I normally don't use AF assist beam when shooting events as I found them can be quite annoying and more importantly distracting to my subject I want to take photos of. Overall low light AF is OK. Its not great but good enough for my professional usage.
@@TheRealRichardWong Thanks for your reply. I understand that about the flash's beam... it can be quite striking. Do you notice an improvement in AF in low light when using the camera's own AF assist lamp?
Not with the z6. I have tried snapbrige sync when reviewing the d500 and some other cameras. It works ok but does drain the battery quite a bit faster so I am not sure I want to do that with the z6 given its battery life isn't that good to begin with
thank you for this, did you notice any issue with sharpness, i've noticed some shots with the z6 don't appear as sharp maybe there are settings you could share, thanks for the upload i've been between sending back the camera and switching to sony a7III, but i I have a few glass and really prefer the Nikon menu system and video performance but the photo capabilities seem slightly lacking.
88omarz, i can't say i have noticed any sharpness issues and i haven't tweak any settings to improve sharpness. The Z6 image looks nice and sharp to me, overall image quality is better than the D750. But I remember reading someone saying switch to electronic shutter or electronic front curtain shutter would help improve the sharpness for Z7 maybe it is the same for Z6?
got ya thanks for the response, so i have found turning off dlight it makes photos appear sharper, i think the default is low dlight. I know especially for the kit f4 lens it seemed slightly soft at f4 but i've used other lens with dlight on and off and the issue was still noticable. Skin tones seemed soft to my eyes.@@TheRealRichardWong
@@88omarz You mentioned dlight so i assume you are shooting JPGs, maybe try increase the sharpen value? I'm mostly shooting in RAW but even with default settings the output looks ok to me.
This was great, this real world reviewing is the bomb. Thank you, Were you saying that I could watch the 120 frames in slow motion on the screen ? Or could not ?
yes what i said is you could not watch the slow motion in camera. But later on one of the viewer has informed me one of the video setting would play back in slow motion and he's absolutely correct! Yes so you can do it either way
@@coalakida Five50Onyx: Slow Motion - Great video! You can get the Z6 to render the video in slow motion in camera by selecting 1080p/24x5 (5 times slow motion). If you use the 120fps option you will have to do it your self in post. The 120fps option gives you sound. The 1080p/24x5 does not record sound.
No, these are not. I usually shoot RAW when shooting professionally. But check out my other video, all those files are JPG SOOC: th-cam.com/video/bCAHPf7j8TQ/w-d-xo.html
nice video as always - great points I think many Pros will be waiting for next version of the Z6 and Z7 due to lack of Dual Cards - also some will be waiting on Eye AF I suspect both Canon and Nikon will update their FF Mirrorless bodies or all their future bodies will have Dual Cards Sony and Panasonic and Fuji for example have produced non Pro bodies under $2000 with Dual Card Slots - I cannot see the extra cost being that much that this feature should be in all bodies above $1500 - Sony and Fuji and Panasonic are certainly going to continue - so I think Nikon would be smart if they came with an upgrade by Sept 2019 - with Eye AF and Dual Card Slots and some other improvements I feel Canon need more - for one they need IBIS - which will be a big upgrade for them - but consumer are now expecting such features - Canon also needs to drop their Touch sliding button Sony leads the way - but they need to implement Full Touch LCD and shutter - things Panasonic has been doing for some time - and very nicely - will be interesting to see what the Panasonic FF bodies will be like - look forward to your next videos
Not worried about single card slot, not convinced that the number of card failures is as big an issue as it has been made out to be as XQD is proven to be far more reliable than SD cards. In 15 years I have never had a card fail either a CF card which I started off using in a Canon 10D and 40D or with SD cards latterly in a Fuji XPro-1 and Nikon D750, maybe I have been lucky.
Hey Jon, thanks for watching my video again and sharing your thoughts. Nikon will definitely bring out their pro body in a year's time with dual card slot and a pro body design. With a years time for them to do more refinement and improvements, I believe it will be a very capable camera even for all the current Nikon Pro DSLR users. Also agree Canon needs more work to match their competitors. Missing IBIS and sub par video feature/quality (i'm really surprised by how good Z6's video is btw) are two key features the EOS R is lacking behind. I'm really interested in the Panasonic FF body too. The L mount alliance is very exciting thing and I always enjoy shooting with their micro four thirds cameras as they are well designed and output decent photo/video despite the smaller sensor.
Thank you for the great video, very useful. I stick also with my D750. The difference is to less to take the Z6. I am not a viewfinder user. Maybe in the future if I have the money ;-)
If you are still very happy with the D750, then stick with you and save some money! There are always better camera if you keep the money in your pocket ;)
It would definitely help, but maybe not that much when shooting events as your shutter speed can't go too slow or you'll have motion blur caused by people's movement.
I own a D750, but my A7iii is in every aspect better, except the ergonomics. Auto eye focus makes life so much easier. And face registration and then priority selection in video and photo.
I bet Nikon will come out with 'Eye Auto Focus' int their next generation of mirrorless cameras. 'Z6/Z7-2... more waiting with Nikon. I'm still waiting for Nikon to up grade the D750 and put it in a more professional styled body, much like the D500,,, but I doubt that will happen now that the z6 is out.
Yes a lower resolution pro full frame DSLR that is d500/850 size would be nice. But I also suspect we may not see that in DSLR form with the R&D focus being shifted to mirrorsless now
@@TheRealRichardWong < Very true, but I can't help thinking that Nikon Just came out with the D850 not too long ago and the z7 is in direct competition with it, and also they have come out with some new F-mount lenses very recently, such as the new 24-70mm f2.8Evr lens, the 70-200mmf2.8E lens, the 105mmf1.4 lens etc., and I can't imagine that Nikon would invest so much time and effort in R&D to come out with these lenses and a camera like the D850 if they are just going to now abandon the F-mount and move all efforts over to the new Z system. Who really knows what Nikon will do next, the D500 was a complete surprise when they announced it.
Im a Nikon guy but the mirrorless offerings are pretty lackluster to put it politely. Z series only wins if you primarily shoot video. Any review by someone who isnt a paid shill knows that. LOTS of unsavory reviews on them.
I took these shots from this mark in the movie on out, with a D750 and a Tamron 28-300 VC lens, the "newer" lens not the original VC lens. Got it for $200 on eBay last summer, mounted it on my D750 and went out to shoot a golf-course late in the afternoon. So what often happens in this situation is that the sun will go down below the trees and it will get dark, too dark to shoot handheld really, in about 20 minutes. I can usually work through this by dropping the F# and dialing up the ISO a little. Can underexpose and push shots like this but it is very easy to underexpose them too much so that there's just too much shadow-noise in the shot for it to be of any use. th-cam.com/video/ZBZh0Kt-sDc/w-d-xo.html The lens is already darker and lower in contrast than a Nikon 35-85 or so, just much more glass, so you really have to be careful not to underexpose it *too* much. But the D750 AF'ed with it without a problem. In what I think that just about every photographer would say was "darkness". I could still make out the contours of the course but usually I can't get good handheld exposures that low & slow. The lens and camera knocked it out without a problem. The last two shots that I took, at th-cam.com/video/ZBZh0Kt-sDc/w-d-xo.html the greenside shot there was just black with a relatively-light sky and the Par-3 th-cam.com/video/ZBZh0Kt-sDc/w-d-xo.html was likewise black with a dark purple sky and streetlights off to the right. ...driving from the greenside shot to the par3 tee shot, there really was no light to speak of. The bigger problem is to pick a good exposure as -2eV in matrix mode is a good starting-point for such shots, pick a good shutter-speed as 1/2sec is really the handheld limit of the VC on that lens, and from there you're just trying to avoid dialing the ISO up because that will produce noise that is easy to see. It's easy to talk about stability but there's no point in getting the shot stable if it's so noisy that you won't want to look at it. A D610 I might expect to have fluffy AF in low light (or the D300 that it's based on) but not the D750 or the D850. Not if you pick a good AF target. So the other issues are the price and the range of compatible lenses. When the Z series knocks 50% or more off the mirror segment of the market? Why would I complain about the Z-series? Or any other mfgs desire to make and sell mirrorless cameras? They are still going to be far more expensive and far bigger than my Sony RX100M2. My M4 maybe not so cheap, one cost me $200 (and has Japanese menus on top of that) and the other $400 this time last year. But if you really want to get an "adequate" mirrorless camera there are plenty out there in the 1" diagonal range < $500 on eBay, just as the D610 & D750 were < $500 this time last year on eBay. The only way that you're going to know for sure whether they are *really* good enough for you is to buy them and shoot them. I did decide not to get the D810 based on a dpreview segment in the review that said that it had real trouble AF'ing in low light, so I just got the D850 instead (for $1500 for a well-used one in good physical shape, 150k shots...from Japan). I mean just think about it. Are you buying "new gear" because you need it, or are you buying it because you want it. If you need it then you can justify the price. If you don't need it and you just want it, then it becomes a treasure-hunt to find a good one at a decent price that you can live with. Is it going to make you happy? How are you going to know that until you shoot it?
Z6 even by Nikon is not recognized as pro body.. Hehehe on another hand lots of pros using d750. In other video the fellow did point to problem z6 has when ftz adapter is on he is in wedding photography & needs 2 bodies but keeps them with special brackets on special vest.. Hehehe he couldn't used the bracket on z6 with ftz adapter, first I heard nobody ever did mention that.
I shoot weddings with 2 dslr bodies, but I got interested in this new z6. Did you find it unpractical to switch between EVF and normal VF because I'm gonna buy just one for now? Did you missed settings alot or get used to it. Thanks and nice video! :)
Hi Renato, after this video, I've shooting more events and weddings using a Z6 with a DSLR. And while i don't think there is any issue when switching between OVF and EVF, i definitely prefer the EVF more and more. When shooting indoor, the EVF just a lot brighter and clearer than the OVF even with a f/1.4 lens! While there are some settings/controls I still prefer the DSLR, I feel I would want to replace my DSLR with another Z6 in the near future!
Oh and this wedding was shot with Z6 (and a Df and Leica Q). about 70% of photos were shot on the Z6 www.photobyrichard.com/photobyrichard/2018/12/chloe-and-jorgen-the-officers-mess/
Why... tell me, why have i bought a dslr in the end of 2017 😟😟😟 Often it is better to wait, wait and see what's comming next.. i wish i hadn't spent my money so brainless
Personally the single slot memory card is a huge deal breaker for a prof camera. And a 2nd camera as a 'solution' is ridiculous. Rather have 2 SD cards than 1 xqd card, since I'm never shooting sport anyway. Fast SD cards are fast enough for me.
I shoot events with a D750 the main feature I would use on the Z6 is the touch screen AF. The lack of dual slots has made me forget this model as an option tho.
The EVF is also a big advantage in my opinion when shooting under low light, strong backlight and not having to remove the camera from the face while review photos and adjust settings.
@@Photomeike in the balance - I'm now hearing good things about the Z6 - I know quick touch focus on the rear screen will help me in what I have to do - I wish they'd come out with a 28 75 Tamron equivalent for the Z6 tho - the lenses leave me cold.
Great job man. Loved how you pointed out all of the great features and how useful the camera can be. I can’t wait to get a chance to take my Z6 out in the field. Lovely photos as well.
Thank you Photo-me-ike! While it's not a perfect camera, the z6 is really a very good camera and there are some other great things I haven't talk about in both of my videos. Enjoy your z6!

Thank you so such kind and positive feedback feedbackbro! What you said is exactly what I tried to achieve with my channel so glad to hear all these comments from you :)
Fantastic video!!!
This is the comparison I was looking for; a real world shooting review between the D750 and Z6.
Looks like the Z6 is in my future!
Thanks Bamboojled!!! Glad to hear the video is helpful to you
Bamboojled absolutely I have to agree! No brand bashing nor hating just a straight and honest video! I still struggle with choosing between these two cameras. I want to go full frame, coming from a Nikon D5500. Not because the D5500 is bad, but low light and DoF is a real thing for me. Saving some money with the D750 (excellent camera and sensor) or invest in the future system with Z6 and mirrorless....struggle is real even though and take the photos not the camera :)
Thank you so much for this video. I love how you stick to the point and simply presented the performance rather than try to make yourself look smart by explaining the meaning of life and the significance of blah blah blah. Your presentation was very professional and I am definitely subscribing to you. It's so refreshing to hear you talk about autofocus performance of the Z6 compare to D750 in the dark indoor. I think this is the most important aspect of any camera/lens system that takes rigor on the reviewer's part to ascertain. Thank you.
Thank you Kim. Don't know if it will work if I try to look smart so might as well just present the facts :)
Best video comparing two similar tier cameras from DSLR side and Mirrorless side. Good Job.
Thank you Sedric Beasley!
A valuable comparison of the D750 and Z6. I really appreciate your time in making this video.
Thank you very much stirlmc1
Richard, Thank you for these Z6 vs D750 reviews. I currently have a D7000 and am looking to upgrade hence your reviews answered a lot of my questions about which of these 2 cameras is more suited to me. The Z6.
Glad to hear you find the videos useful :) enjoy the z6!
Great comparison! Exactly what I needed since I have a D750, and just recently ordered a Z6. I can't wait to put the Z6 through its paces. Thanks again for a wonderful video!
Thanks for watching Keith!!
Thank you. I own a D800 and Fujifilm X-Pro2 + 3 lenses. Thinking of selling the Fuji gear (many reasons) and getting the Z6. Doing more video these days and have heard the Z6 is even better than the Z7 in that department. Incidentally, I have owned a 105mm for 4 decades -- once my go to portrait lens. Still put it on my D800 occasionally.
@Raymond Parker I still have my four-decade old Nikon 105 f/2.5 AI lens as well and back then, it was often used with B+W Zeiss Softar 1/2 filters. Nowadays, I have to switch from using my Nikon DSLR to Canon when I want to shoot portraits with the Canon 85 f/1.2 lens.
I recently returned my Z6, It's a good camera, but for a working photographer it adds so much to my routines shooting weddings.I don't need to explain how critical dual slot cards are for a working photographer (won't argue that here). But, while the e viewfinder, full frame focus points, and touchscreen are awesome, having to change my adapter, less than ideal battery life, makes it hard for shooting long weddings. The biggest point however, is that the picture quality in both harsh and low light are identical to my D750 and D500. So, if my photos are identical in quality, I can wait for the second gen Z's with at least dual card slots. I once had a corrupted SD card and forgot to put the second one in my camera for a weeding.. thankfully it happened before Yelp :D. Thanks for the video.
Thanks so much for your comment and sharing your experience!
I'm using D750 planning to buy another one for back up... but when I saw your comparison ... Wow definitely it change my plan... thanks Richard for sharing this video.
Hi Dennis glad you found the video useful and thanks for watching!
Still D750 is a beast ! When you compare the IQ it's still one of the best cameras.. 4 years old but still awesome.. D750 was ahead of its time !!
It sure is. Even today it's still a very good camera if you don't worry about video/live view and price is great too
Slow Motion - Great video! You can get the Z6 to render the video in slow motion in camera by selecting 1080p/24x5 (5 times slow motion). If you use the 120fps option you will have to do it your self in post. The 120fps option gives you sound. The 1080p/24x5 does not record sound.
Fantastic review Richard - so great to see such a refreshing POV with this comparison.
Hey Blair, thank you! And thanks for all your support!
Thanks for the review, this is what I was waiting for since it's launch, more outdoor still images please
hey S Kanjilal thanks for the comment! Glad this is what you want :) Oh you can also watch my Z6 vs D750 review there are more sample photos in that video, those are all SOOC JPGs
@@TheRealRichardWong Now what is your sincere suggestion wether to buy D750 or a Z6 for my professional assignments, except Nikon 50mm f1.8 no lens in kit. Guide me please
It depends if data redundancy is very important to you. If it is, get the d750. If not get the z6 if it is within your budget
@@TheRealRichardWong Thank you so much, please keep inspiring
@@skanjilal2608 thank you my friend
Excellent review. Well edited and informative. Let's see... there was the N6006, the Coolpix 995, D70 the D200 and D300 followed by the D600, D700 and finally, the D750. Incidentally, the D750 is far and away, the finest camera I've ever had the pure pleasure of owning. That being said, you've done a great job of showing off the features of the Z6 and thereby forcing me to draw an imaginary line between want and need. I certainly don't "need" a Z6 however, "want" is a different story.
Thank you S.E. Kunkle. Yes I agree if you already have a D750, a Z6 would be more a "want" than "need". Some people may still prefer the D750 instead of Z6 for battery/dual card or other reasons
Thank u so much Richard. U have no idea how much this video made up my mind on gng for a mirrorless Z6. I was confused bw a 780 & Z6.
Glad the video helped, and enjoy your new camera
This is a awesome video Richard. I have been looking for this too. The Z6 is in my purchase list now. Thank you.
Hi Ben, glad to hear you like the video! And thanks for watching :)
Did you buy it?
Excellent comparison exactly what I was looking for as I have a D750 and think to switch
To reduce the flickering, you need a shutter speed that is similar to the frequency of the light. I found that 1/100 works but you have to play with the shutter speed to get the right one depending on the light source
Really Great shots....
oh thank you so mucg Arindam!
Flickering on the finder is not a problem for me, pretty helpfull to stop using silent shutter when needed! Battery of course drives much faster than on the d750, however for the battery itself never notice than the en-el15 and en-el15b shooting with the z6
Ouh sorry the phone translate some things ^^' yeah would say that the two batteries give the same result, just a marketing thing to buy the much expensive b batteries, so old d7000 ones work as well just no charging in the z6. It will just glow a bit and then the light will stop meaning I will not charge that thing
Great Video!
Movie Shooting Menu - Flicker Reduction - 50Hz or 60Hz or Auto or shoot at lower shutter speeds
I've tried that but didn't seem to help the EVF flickering issue. But to be honest I didn't have too much time to play with the settings so I will have to test it again next time I have problem
Thank you for the great video, well done!
Hi Richard, very nice video. Considering getting a Z6 as mostly a 4.2.2 video DSLR with the bonus of taking all my Nikkors. The fact that it at least equals the D750 as a still camera is also very encouraging. Thanks for the insights.
Hey Ted. Thanks for the comments! Yes it's definitely at least as capable as a stills shooter and wayyyy better as a video/live view camera. I have done a few more professional jobs using the z6 now and honestly I find it hard to go back to DSLR in the future
There is a big difference in volume between narrated parts and the music part. perhaps you can equalise it so that there won't be a big jump and drop in volume throughout the video.
Hi Alan thanks for the feedback. I did already applied almost 15db gain adjustments.. obviously still not enough! Will try improve it in the future thank you!!
A real life review, very good, thank you
Thanks for watching Hagen!
I have a nikon d5300 and I really want to upgrade to either of these cameras, I'm leaning more towards the Z6 currently due to that viewfinder. I have a prime 50mm 1.8d lens that I can't auto focus on my d5300, and I'm always looking through the live view which eats my battery quickly. I think both of these cameras will be able to auto focus, but the viewfinder + stabilization of the z6 for low light photography seems like exactly what I need. I really can't decide!
Great video, and very great photos of course. This is a very comparison even for someone who’s not Nikon user like me!
Thank you Leica Dad!! haha good to get non Nikon users to watch the video and increase the view count :D
I have a D500 and D750. Following this closely. Thanks for your excellent reviews.
This is a great help to me. However I really want to see more about the printed output difference of the photos taken by both in terms of details and colour.
Great review! I have been debating either to upgrade from my aps-c Nikon D7100 to D750 or Z6. I think it’s the D750 because of the dual card slot, battery life and no adapter. Will think on the Z6.
Thanks Gabe! D750 price is really good now so that's a big attractive reason
4:08 - solution to single card slot. take same picture with two cameras, I love the simplicity!
WiFi is the way to go. No second card needed.
@@Narmi804 bullshit
bs or whatever, but you will never have an xqd card error
@@rotvonrat Nah, just a WiFi transfer error instead. lol
Nice review thanks! I'm gonna stick with my d750s for a little longer. I was thinking to upgrade to either 2 d850s or 2 Z6s. I tired d850 and it's just over killed for events use. Z6 seems good but the IQ is very similar to d750's..I don't see much of an upgrade despite a smaller body and the bright view finder peeking..but traded off with much less battery life and only 1 card...not good for full day events.
Hi Patrick. I rented a Z6 this week and compared it to my D750 files. For still photography I found the D750 files are amazing sharp as compared to the Z6. I find the Z6 to have less noise over the image but the sensor doesn't record details as well as the D750 and the images from the Z6 actually are smoothed out considerably and the detail is lost in shapes and patterns. The images are smoothed out too much. Detail is lost and also color noise shows up as artifacts throughout the scene in ISOs as low as 10,000. Edges and details are smoothed out considerably in the Z6 making for a less then real effect. I thought I would have been blown away with the images quality and high ISO performance as compared to the D750 but not enough that I wanted to jump out and get one. I love the electronic viewfinder, so much easier to see, image stabilization is great. Autofocus better but I wished the image quality and detail was better. Still on the fence if I will make the change. May stick to my D750s for now.
" I tired d850 and it's just over killed for events use. "
interesting considering the D850 is almost the exact same camera as the D750 JUST BETTER
Thanks, that was very informative and a lot of practical information. Good job. I was surprised there wasn't much of a difference between Z6 and D750 in terms of image quality.
I just realized from your video that the electronic view finder is actually like the video for the flickering.
Yes thatsa downside of EVF
for the money, I think d750 is the best camera ever..... 4 years later ans still going strong
Yes can't argue much about that
Hope Nikon will launch a D500 with the Z6 video quality (no mirrorless, thank you).
Hey rotvonrat, what's the reason you prefer DSLR? Ovf? Battery life? Or something else?
Fantastic review
Thank you Dr Vishnu c Nair
Thank you Richard for such a comprehensive and helpful video.
Thank you glennskitchen!
Nice. Very balanced and informative.
Thank you Tom!
Great video! Have you used that Sigma 50mm 1.4 art lens with video? I'm curious how well it performs while auto focusing in video and how loud the focus drive is and if you can hear it in videos.
Yes I have. It works ok. You can hear the autofocus motor if using built in mic. But if you use external mix then it's okay!
An outstanding real-world review, so glad I found your channel!
Glad you like my video :)
Awesome review again my friend. I’ve decided and had grabbed a Z6 last monday. So far so good, quite very different from my D810 but in a good way. I like it overall but needed to test it more in the next couple of days. I know I’ve made the right choice and will be good to have a lighter setup for my everyday job for sure. Cheers!
haha, can't resist the temptation Danilo? yes i think you'll like it and it should be a good complimantry camera to your D810! Maybe I'll bump into you with your Z6 on the street soon!
Great video! Now I’m not sure if I should go mirrorless or just keep my d750? How does the Z6 compare to the Z5?
Hi there you can check out my Nikon z5 review which I did some comparison with the z6 as well :)
Awesome comparison
Thank you my friend
Awesome review. Real life situation, love it! Very good photos btw!
Thank you Jacek!
Thank you
Thank you for watching Deivi Vargas!
I am shocked, we have the exact same two lenses you used here, the Sigma 50/1.4 ART and Nikon 16-35/4. How do you find these two lenses? Do you prefer one over the other and any problems with any of them? I used both on my D750 and haven't picked up any other lenses.
Haha they are both great lenses and I use them both a lot! Don't really have any issue with them they are really reliable works great for me both professional and personal work
Richard thanks mate. i do have the D810 and the D800, bud inside the church with out flash its the D750 better than the D810 ( low light) ?
D750 should be a bit better low light than the d810.
Thanks for a great review! Perfect timing for me. I use the D750 and are considering the Z6. The strongest argument for me is the video quality and the silent shutter. I do a lot of sports photography, have you compared the continuous autofocus between the two?
Yes I have done some comparison. I would say the d750 is better for pros as it allows more way to track your object some more suitable than other for the photo you took, while the z6 uses a more simple design which benefits beginners more as you don't have to learn much about what AF mode/setting you should use. But overall the difference if any is small
@@TheRealRichardWong "while the z6 uses a more simple design which benefits beginners more as you don't have to learn much about what AF mode/setting you should use."
that's true both ways
Good video Richard from a Nikon fan boy in NZ, but only entry level.
Thanks DigNap15!!! :)
Nice job Richard. Thank you for sharing with us your great experience and the many thoughts about the Z6
. Just curious if you could tell me what is that cubical device you put on the hot shoe of the camera in this video and what is the use of it?
Hi Kelvin, that's my GoPro session. My plan was to use it to capture some behind the scene footage unfortunately most were unusable due to the flicker caused by the lights outside the venue.
I also used the GoPro to film my lunch break series videos
@@TheRealRichardWong Thank you for letting me know. Much appreciated.
Another great review and comparisson. Great work
Hello, I need your advice please, I'm a wedding photographer & I'm confused weather to buy the z7 for portraits beside the d750 for the party, or get the d850 beside the z6.
Can you advise me what to do please.
Thanks
Hi, do you feel a big difference on the weight and size of your 2 cameras. I have the d850, the weight and size difference is my main reason i am looking into z6, thanks
Yes definitely the z6 body is much lighter. However remember the lens could be half or more the total weight of your camera setup if you continue to use your f mount lenses then the total weight saving might not be as obvious as you might think
@@TheRealRichardWong thanks, i am thinking of using z6 when i am traveling not for photography purpose, street photo, and daily use. And my D850 for everything else, birds, actions and high res landscapes etc., what do you think of that?
Sounds like a good idea to me!!
Great review, so tempeted to get this camera and add it to my set up, Richard are you able to say if the Z6 is better for low light, ie concert photos? Many thanks, John.
hi John, thank you! Compare to the D750, yes the Z6 should be better for low light, you can check my Z6 vs D750 review i did some high ISO comparison shots and you can see the Z6 is better in high ISO with less colour noise. But that is only when you are shooting at really high ISO.
Richard, many thanks for your reply, I will check out your other uploaded video reference the Z6 iso noise, many thanks - great informative videos. Regards John
@@Johnd3s John Thanks !
Thanks very good review. Now I'm torn between this two cameras (Nikon Z6 and D750) and the D810. I do astro, social and street. Sometimes birds and sports but mainly I want image quality, good ISO at 6400, accurate auto-focus and good dynamic range. Any advice? Thanks in advance.
if you want good high ISO performance, D810 is definitely not the best choice. Z6 and D750 are quite similar but Z6 is slightly better.
Between Z6 and D750.... D750 is probably a bit better for fast moving like bird in flight? But I do like the Z6's EVF which allows me to preview the exposure, colours..etc and the autofocus is also easier to use for everyday photo especially with the face/eye detection
Hi Richard, I know you've shot the Lumix S1 as well. When it comes to just image quality, nothing else, which would you prefer the Z6 or the S1?
They are very very similar in terms of picture quality. The only main difference is the S1 has high Res mode which z6 doesn't have
Richard Wong thanks. If you ever have the time, it would be nice to see a side by side review.
Thanks very helpful - What camera was filming the Z6? How did you find lowlight video AF.
It was a Gh5! I haven't done that much video AF testing under low light to answer that to be honest
Thank you for your fantastic videos. I just subscribed to your channel. I think i'll be getting a Z6 as an upgrade to my D700 soon. Just a little question though: is it possible to have a live histogram and digital level displayed inside the EVF for stills? Can you do an AF-C comparison between a Z6 and D750 (also in low light)?? That would be very helpful!
Thanks for the sub! Yes you can have live histogram and level displayed inside the EVF. Can't do the AFC comparison right now as I don't have the d750 with me. Sorry
I understand. How would you compare AF-C for stills in Lumix S1 vs Z6 ? i watched your comparison videos, unfortunatelly AF-C test was during video shooting. I would like to see a real life stills shooting of moving subjects with the use of AF-C if that would be possible.
@@piotrwydmuch9413 With the current beta firmware, the Z6 would do better in AF-C photo mode. I will see if i can test it with final firmware :)
@@TheRealRichardWong That's fantastic . Thank you sir!
Great Video. Thank you for real world review.
Thank you for watching James!
Brilliant video Richard! Loved the intro/b-roll too 👍
Hey Thanks Jon!! haha yeah love the B-roll Big Thanks to @KwasnikPictures !!!
Nice video. Do you think the z6 has enough resolution for A2 prints?
Hey Joh, yes definitely.
Someone told me I would need at least 30 MP for a good quality print at A2 size and that is why I am currently looking at the z7, but I think the price is just much too high especially compared to the d850.
Of course is enough! I’ve printed a 3 meter wide pictures with a d610 file and it has very good quality!
Definitely, I was getting prints that size years ago from a Nikon D3, (don't listen to pixel peeping gear geaks who think you need the most expensive kit to get results:).
@@JohKemStYl3 with larger prints, you usually stand further back when viewing the print so the pixel density could be lower . What it means is, an A2 print doesn't really need double the pixel of a A3 print. People have been printing out billboard posters from < 10MP image and they are fine for same reason. So yes higher resolution would be good but not really needed unless you are going to look at the photos really really close. I have printed out many A3 prints from my D700 (12MP) for my wedding clients and i never had anyone complain to me about not enough resolution
Would you be worried about losing AF performance coming from the D750 to a Z6? I'm thinking about the switch, but I'm worried about the AF, specially in low light. Thanks for the video!
I just did a wedding today and the z6 performs very well under low light. Definitely not worst than d750 in my opinion
@@TheRealRichardWong thank you! I guess it will be my next camera! :)
Enjoy the z6!
Great video!
Thank you Luca!
why didn't you use afc on z6? is it that bad? everyone tries to avoid this topic
I didn't use AFC because I normally don't use AFC when shooting events. I have tested AFC quite a bit when reviewing the camera and found the performance comparable to the d750
How do you rate the Z6 when used with a flash? I'm close to buying the Z6 but am still not sure! I've recently found out that the AF assist beam from a mounted flash will not work with mirrorless cameras. Have you had any issues when photography indoor events in low light etc? Thanks! Eric
I normally don't use AF assist beam when shooting events as I found them can be quite annoying and more importantly distracting to my subject I want to take photos of. Overall low light AF is OK. Its not great but good enough for my professional usage.
@@TheRealRichardWong Thanks for your reply. I understand that about the flash's beam... it can be quite striking. Do you notice an improvement in AF in low light when using the camera's own AF assist lamp?
@@ericjohnson7717 Definitely helps!
This video make me want to buy Z6 ,,
Haha sorry about that
Me too hehe....
Every time i see photos from Both Z6 and D750 make me want to keep my D700 forever!
What I like about the video, everything. What I don’t like about the video, nothing. 👍🏼👍🏼
Wow thank you so much lazy dog
Have You try the Bluetooth feature that can automatically transfer 2MB versions of your photos To a smart Device? Like a cellphone or a small tablet.
Not with the z6. I have tried snapbrige sync when reviewing the d500 and some other cameras. It works ok but does drain the battery quite a bit faster so I am not sure I want to do that with the z6 given its battery life isn't that good to begin with
Thank you good sir. :)
Brilliant
thank you!
thank you for this, did you notice any issue with sharpness, i've noticed some shots with the z6 don't appear as sharp maybe there are settings you could share, thanks for the upload i've been between sending back the camera and switching to sony a7III, but i I have a few glass and really prefer the Nikon menu system and video performance but the photo capabilities seem slightly lacking.
88omarz, i can't say i have noticed any sharpness issues and i haven't tweak any settings to improve sharpness. The Z6 image looks nice and sharp to me, overall image quality is better than the D750. But I remember reading someone saying switch to electronic shutter or electronic front curtain shutter would help improve the sharpness for Z7 maybe it is the same for Z6?
got ya thanks for the response, so i have found turning off dlight it makes photos appear sharper, i think the default is low dlight. I know especially for the kit f4 lens it seemed slightly soft at f4 but i've used other lens with dlight on and off and the issue was still noticable. Skin tones seemed soft to my eyes.@@TheRealRichardWong
@@88omarz You mentioned dlight so i assume you are shooting JPGs, maybe try increase the sharpen value? I'm mostly shooting in RAW but even with default settings the output looks ok to me.
Richard Wong that could be why I suppose yea I haven’t had any software updates allowing me to edit the raw files yet so yea only been using jpg.
@@88omarz you could get the Adobe DNG converter . or Nikon Capture NX-D if you want to play with Z6 RAW files now.
Have you tried the flicker control?
Didn't seem to fix the EVF problem. But I may try again next time.
Interesting find. Maybe shutter speed?
This was great, this real world reviewing is the bomb. Thank you, Were you saying that I could watch the 120 frames in slow motion on the screen ? Or could not ?
yes what i said is you could not watch the slow motion in camera. But later on one of the viewer has informed me one of the video setting would play back in slow motion and he's absolutely correct! Yes so you can do it either way
@@TheRealRichardWong How do you do it, ? I missed it.
@@coalakida
Five50Onyx:
Slow Motion - Great video! You can get the Z6 to render the video in slow motion in camera by selecting 1080p/24x5 (5 times slow motion). If you use the 120fps option you will have to do it your self in post. The 120fps option gives you sound. The 1080p/24x5 does not record sound.
That light flickering would drive me nuts...I assume that's a pretty rare occurrence though, right?
yes it is very rare. I don't see it happen usually..
Good video
Thanks Gabriel!
If not for the ONE memory car I would have bought the camera. Hope next Z6 will have 2 memory card slots.
1 memory card, thats the only thing that makes the z6 cannot grab a7iii market shares.
thats a huge miss opportunity from the z series.
Are those SOOC? Keen to know how the pictures looks like coming out from this camera.
No, these are not. I usually shoot RAW when shooting professionally. But check out my other video, all those files are JPG SOOC: th-cam.com/video/bCAHPf7j8TQ/w-d-xo.html
nice video as always - great points
I think many Pros will be waiting for next version of the Z6 and Z7 due to lack of Dual Cards - also some will be waiting on Eye AF
I suspect both Canon and Nikon will update their FF Mirrorless bodies or all their future bodies will have Dual Cards
Sony and Panasonic and Fuji for example have produced non Pro bodies under $2000 with Dual Card Slots - I cannot see the extra cost being that much that this feature should be in all bodies above $1500 -
Sony and Fuji and Panasonic are certainly going to continue -
so I think Nikon would be smart if they came with an upgrade by Sept 2019 - with Eye AF and Dual Card Slots and some other improvements
I feel Canon need more - for one they need IBIS - which will be a big upgrade for them - but consumer are now expecting such features - Canon also needs to drop their Touch sliding button
Sony leads the way - but they need to implement Full Touch LCD and shutter -
things Panasonic has been doing for some time - and very nicely - will be interesting to see what the Panasonic FF bodies will be like -
look forward to your next videos
Not worried about single card slot, not convinced that the number of card failures is as big an issue as it has been made out to be as XQD is proven to be far more reliable than SD cards.
In 15 years I have never had a card fail either a CF card which I started off using in a Canon 10D and 40D or with SD cards latterly in a Fuji XPro-1 and Nikon D750, maybe I have been lucky.
Same here, im a wedding photographer and never had a card fail.
Hey Jon, thanks for watching my video again and sharing your thoughts. Nikon will definitely bring out their pro body in a year's time with dual card slot and a pro body design. With a years time for them to do more refinement and improvements, I believe it will be a very capable camera even for all the current Nikon Pro DSLR users. Also agree Canon needs more work to match their competitors. Missing IBIS and sub par video feature/quality (i'm really surprised by how good Z6's video is btw) are two key features the EOS R is lacking behind. I'm really interested in the Panasonic FF body too. The L mount alliance is very exciting thing and I always enjoy shooting with their micro four thirds cameras as they are well designed and output decent photo/video despite the smaller sensor.
Which accessory are you using at the place of lens?
Do you mean the thing on the hotshoe? Or?
Thank you for the great video, very useful. I stick also with my D750. The difference is to less to take the Z6. I am not a viewfinder user. Maybe in the future if I have the money ;-)
If you are still very happy with the D750, then stick with you and save some money! There are always better camera if you keep the money in your pocket
;)
@@TheRealRichardWong thank you
Another interesting fact.. Hehehe each new camera shows up on the market its right away compared to d750
D750 is one of the most successful DSLR in the market
How about shooting with IBIS on the Z6 in the low light conditions. Did it help?
It would definitely help, but maybe not that much when shooting events as your shutter speed can't go too slow or you'll have motion blur caused by people's movement.
Nice work Richard
Thank you Paul!!
I own a D750, but my A7iii is in every aspect better, except the ergonomics. Auto eye focus makes life so much easier. And face registration and then priority selection in video and photo.
And battery life? ;)
I bet Nikon will come out with 'Eye Auto Focus' int their next generation of mirrorless cameras. 'Z6/Z7-2... more waiting with Nikon. I'm still waiting for Nikon to up grade the D750 and put it in a more professional styled body, much like the D500,,, but I doubt that will happen now that the z6 is out.
Yes that as well, but hey, for hobby shooting a week is still a very good runtime.
Yes a lower resolution pro full frame DSLR that is d500/850 size would be nice. But I also suspect we may not see that in DSLR form with the R&D focus being shifted to mirrorsless now
@@TheRealRichardWong < Very true, but I can't help thinking that Nikon Just came out with the D850 not too long ago and the z7 is in direct competition with it, and also they have come out with some new F-mount lenses very recently, such as the new 24-70mm f2.8Evr lens, the 70-200mmf2.8E lens, the 105mmf1.4 lens etc., and I can't imagine that Nikon would invest so much time and effort in R&D to come out with these lenses and a camera like the D850 if they are just going to now abandon the F-mount and move all efforts over to the new Z system. Who really knows what Nikon will do next, the D500 was a complete surprise when they announced it.
Z6
Im a Nikon guy but the mirrorless offerings are pretty lackluster to put it politely. Z series only wins if you primarily shoot video. Any review by someone who isnt a paid shill knows that. LOTS of unsavory reviews on them.
I took these shots from this mark in the movie on out, with a D750 and a Tamron 28-300 VC lens, the "newer" lens not the original VC lens.
Got it for $200 on eBay last summer, mounted it on my D750 and went out to shoot a golf-course late in the afternoon.
So what often happens in this situation is that the sun will go down below the trees and it will get dark, too dark to shoot handheld really, in about 20 minutes.
I can usually work through this by dropping the F# and dialing up the ISO a little. Can underexpose and push shots like this but it is very easy to underexpose them too much so that there's just too much shadow-noise in the shot for it to be of any use.

The lens is already darker and lower in contrast than a Nikon 35-85 or so, just much more glass, so you really have to be careful not to underexpose it *too* much.
But the D750 AF'ed with it without a problem. In what I think that just about every photographer would say was "darkness".
I could still make out the contours of the course but usually I can't get good handheld exposures that low & slow.
The lens and camera knocked it out without a problem.
The last two shots that I took, at th-cam.com/video/ZBZh0Kt-sDc/w-d-xo.html
the greenside shot there was just black with a relatively-light sky
and the Par-3
th-cam.com/video/ZBZh0Kt-sDc/w-d-xo.html
was likewise black with a dark purple sky and streetlights off to the right.
...driving from the greenside shot to the par3 tee shot, there really was no light to speak of.
The bigger problem is to pick a good exposure as -2eV in matrix mode is a good starting-point for such shots, pick a good shutter-speed as 1/2sec is really the handheld limit of the VC on that lens, and from there you're just trying to avoid dialing the ISO up because that will produce noise that is easy to see. It's easy to talk about stability but there's no point in getting the shot stable if it's so noisy that you won't want to look at it. A D610 I might expect to have fluffy AF in low light (or the D300 that it's based on) but not the D750 or the D850. Not if you pick a good AF target.
So the other issues are the price and the range of compatible lenses. When the Z series knocks 50% or more off the mirror segment of the market? Why would I complain about the Z-series?
Or any other mfgs desire to make and sell mirrorless cameras? They are still going to be far more expensive and far bigger than my Sony RX100M2. My M4 maybe not so cheap, one cost me $200 (and has Japanese menus on top of that) and the other $400 this time last year. But if you really want to get an "adequate" mirrorless camera there are plenty out there in the 1" diagonal range < $500 on eBay, just as the D610 & D750 were < $500 this time last year on eBay. The only way that you're going to know for sure whether they are *really* good enough for you is to buy them and shoot them. I did decide not to get the D810 based on a dpreview segment in the review that said that it had real trouble AF'ing in low light, so I just got the D850 instead (for $1500 for a well-used one in good physical shape, 150k shots...from Japan). I mean just think about it. Are you buying "new gear" because you need it, or are you buying it because you want it. If you need it then you can justify the price. If you don't need it and you just want it, then it becomes a treasure-hunt to find a good one at a decent price that you can live with. Is it going to make you happy? How are you going to know that until you shoot it?
Z6 even by Nikon is not recognized as pro body.. Hehehe on another hand lots of pros using d750. In other video the fellow did point to problem z6 has when ftz adapter is on he is in wedding photography & needs 2 bodies but keeps them with special brackets on special vest.. Hehehe he couldn't used the bracket on z6 with ftz adapter, first I heard nobody ever did mention that.
Z6 no battery grip... Hehehe have cheap battery grips with both my bodies & work very well
I shoot weddings with 2 dslr bodies, but I got interested in this new z6. Did you find it unpractical to switch between EVF and normal VF because I'm gonna buy just one for now? Did you missed settings alot or get used to it. Thanks and nice video! :)
Hi Renato, after this video, I've shooting more events and weddings using a Z6 with a DSLR. And while i don't think there is any issue when switching between OVF and EVF, i definitely prefer the EVF more and more. When shooting indoor, the EVF just a lot brighter and clearer than the OVF even with a f/1.4 lens! While there are some settings/controls I still prefer the DSLR, I feel I would want to replace my DSLR with another Z6 in the near future!
Oh and this wedding was shot with Z6 (and a Df and Leica Q). about 70% of photos were shot on the Z6

Thanks for the answer... looking forward to buy one 😀😀 wish you all best
@@renatok98 Thanks!! And enjoy the Z6!
u have too know that is sigma lens lowlight af is not so good. worst than tamron when compare to the native lens
you're supposed to do this sort of test *before* you go out on a shoot
视频做得很好
Thank you!! :)
Why... tell me, why have i bought a dslr in the end of 2017 😟😟😟
Often it is better to wait, wait and see what's comming next.. i wish i hadn't spent my money so brainless
Oh don't be sad. The camera you bought so works the same isn't it, and there is always better camera coming out next month :)
Personally the single slot memory card is a huge deal breaker for a prof camera. And a 2nd camera as a 'solution' is ridiculous. Rather have 2 SD cards than 1 xqd card, since I'm never shooting sport anyway. Fast SD cards are fast enough for me.
I shoot events with a D750 the main feature I would use on the Z6 is the touch screen AF. The lack of dual slots has made me forget this model as an option tho.
The EVF is also a big advantage in my opinion when shooting under low light, strong backlight and not having to remove the camera from the face while review photos and adjust settings.
oh and I found the silent shutter is really useful too
Are you still planning to get the A7III?
Use wifi for backup. Problem solved.
@@Photomeike in the balance - I'm now hearing good things about the Z6 - I know quick touch focus on the rear screen will help me in what I have to do - I wish they'd come out with a 28 75 Tamron equivalent for the Z6 tho - the lenses leave me cold.
