Im not rich and I brought my D7200 on marketplace earlier this year because I follow you .I was devastated when you drowned your camera. What I’m trying to say is that The D7200 in my opinion is everything I need in a camera , it’s a quality camera.all the mod cons I don’t really need .just gotta work a little harder .Henry come out to Australia one day you would love it 👍🐨
Nice, have fun with that camera. I still use my D7200 over the D850 (yeah I'm spoiled, I know :D ). Fantastic photo quality even A3 or A2 Format. Pleasent Bokeh with my Lenses. Build like a tank. Possible to control and link with my Smartphone. Lightroom 6 still can handle the RAW Data. Can control her blind. Never let me down. She saw a lot countries! More than my Flagship DSLR :-) .
I have the Nikon D7200 and I'm more than happy with its capabilities as I mainly use it for wildlife and Landscape
Your honesty is refreshing. I have both systems and on a nice day i really cannot tell the difference.
Once again Henry, an excellent video. The photos are absolutely stunning and I really love your down to earth presentation. It's like you are in the room with us! Always look forward to your posts, thanks!
Great video. I still have my D7200 but have just added a D750 to my bag. I shoot a variety of subjects (Sport/Music/Events/Nature) so it's great to have the extra reach of the D7200 and the low-light capabilities and extra resolution afforded by the full-frame D750. Best of both worlds.
Superb stuff again Henry. To be fair it did look absolutely freezing out on the salt marsh!! Glad you are enjoying the new gear and I totally understand that the new stuff would be better - continuous improvement and all that. I go out and about with my D7200 and often think of you when I'm using it and what you might have opted for in terms of composition. I love the crop factor on it and it's a great piece of kit with oodles of playthings so I'll stick with it until it eventually gives out. I agree with you about the printing etc too - I don't print professionally so my images are for me and social media really - the D7200 gives me everything I need (and more) for that. :-)
Thanks Henry for always bringing the joy. You have a balanced approach as regards gear. The images were so peaceful to look at even though you got a bit battered with the weather.
Always love your videos , captures and information!! Well done as always!! Love your toque !!!! Cheers from Northern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 thank you once again!!
Another cracking video. Thank you Henry
Loved your photos in this video! Cheers Henry.
It’s a bit like rich people saying ‘ money doesn’t make you happy” OK but can l have a go just to see for myself!!
What's up Henry? Haven't seen you in some time now. That is a very nice new camera. I know it takes great shots. But, you made a statement most people doesn't get. No mater how good a camera body is with all the bells and whistles; It always come down to the lens. The quality of the glass that let the light hit the sensor. That is all that counts. Peace to you Henry!
If you can afford it, and it's what brings you joy in life, I say go for it! I started with a D5300, progressed to a refurbished D500, Z 6 refurbished, and traded that in for a new Z7 that was on sale. It was a score! You can take great photos with any of those cameras, but the Z 7 is without a doubt superior because of the 45 megapixels, and newer technology The difference in depth and detail of the photos is obvious. I've never printed a photo, but it's handy if you need to crop a photo without losing image quality, & that was important to me. Also, full frame and IBIS were on my wish list. The gear does & doesn't matter. Refurbished from a reputable company is a good way to go. I use the Z 7 with the Nikkor Z 24 - 200. This is just a hobby for me, but at this point in life I decided I didn't have to justify getting what I wanted to anyone, especially myself. Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think... If you're a beginner start out small and work your way up if you decide photography is for you would be my advice.
Henry, thanks for enduring the seaside bluster for us. The resulting photos were absolutely stunning. The shot of sea, sun, and light beams is just inspirational - I'm hoping it shows up in your 2023 calendar. I also appreciate your balanced no-nonsense approach to your gear. I'm a happy owner of a recently purchased Z50 2-lens kit. It's a joy to use and I'm pleased with the all-around quality of this combination. Looking forward to growing into it.
The Z50 is a great camera.. I have it and a Z7 and in a lot of cases the results from them are similar.. (I also forget which one I am using sometimes.. though I do wish the Z50 had the joystick for moving focus) I don't have the 50-250 but the 16-50 is a great little lens.. Love using the Z's with film era manual glass as its super easy.. 🙂
First time I have watched one of your videos and I like how you give a straight forward and honest review, and how you speak to us normal people, as opposed to someone who is super techy with the camera gear.
Just love, love your humor and honesty!
Another fine video Henry, the first image was absolute class I might add. I own both the D7200 & FF D810 and I enjoy them both for differing reasons and both cameras take sublime well-rounded images given the composition and glass. IMO perhaps the only drawback and in particular the D810 is the weight together with the lenses which I go both long and wide-angle when out and about can become uncomfortable compared to the more recent mirrorless models. I don't intend to part with either for the time being but I do recognize (gulp) that soon the advantages of mirrorless and added technology will outweigh DLSR cameras if not already.......until that day I shall enjoy life with what kit I have 😊. Looking forward to your next adventure 👌 keep up the good work.
Always look forwards to sitting in front of fire with a beer and watching your latest video on a Thursday.
Another great day out in the bay, love those water channels, must be loads of compositions there, you got some excellent shots.
Fully agree about not getting hung up on equipment.
Being a tight Yorkshireman, I spent years using and trying to understand my Canon 550D as a begginer before i purchased a 2nd hand Canon 6D mk2, and you know what, I didn't fully understand or use all the functions on the 550D (wonder how many others upgrade and haven't fully utilised their initial gear).
For me its about getting out and enjoying the day with the camera and attempting to put everything into practice and not spending loads on tackle.
Even learning and using Affinity Photo for post processing (think was a 1off payment of around £50 and no monthly payments), ok, its not Lightroom but works for me.
I think its your infectious enthusiasm that draws me to your style of videos, I have said it in the past that you could video making a cup of tea and it would be interesting.
Keep going and don't change, you have some great loyal followers from reading some of the comments.
Out!
You sold me on the D7200 on 2018. I was on the edge of what camera I should get. I'm content! I will upgrade when my dies as well. But for now it's still alive and doing well,
I've said it before Henry, and I'll say it again! In the words of Gavin Hardcastle..that first image.."Trezmendous!" "Juicy!" LOL In fact, I'd go as far as to say, I'd pay good money for that image! (If I had 'good money' in the first place!)
The flip screen is surely a feature of modern cameras I love the most!
greetings from Canada!, Love the hat.. and your recommendation about this camera, and an acknowledgement of how there are different levels of photographer. As a prosumer/hobbyist I upgraded recently to the d7500, and with a good and varied collection of mostly crop format lenses. I can't justify upgrading to full frame..and I'm really enjoying the "mod cons" of the d7500.
I really enjoy your channel and how you enthusiastically break down how you compose images...
I’ve recently bought the Z7, it’s brilliant. I used to have a canon 5D, but the Z7 in my opinion is much better.
AGreed, 99% photographer's skill and vision, 1% gear.
@@wherezthebeef
Yeah, you’re right. It does’nt need to be anything wrong with someones photographic skill, just because he/she favours one model over another..
.. and yet another grand day out .. Oh what a breath of fresh air you are Henry. A couple of excellent images there, really enjoyed those! I must admit I am very pleased that you're enjoying the Z7 after the D7200's "soft crutch of hope" euphemistically met "the hard boot of destiny". Its been great to see that you're really enjoying the new kit, not because of what it is, but because of what you can achieve with it. I was sorely tempted to get a Z50 recently, but my arms proved to be shorter than the depth of my pockets ... and to be fair I fairly regularly run out of skill using my D3500, so will stick with that for another year.
Great video Henry, and well said about gear
Very interesting "conversation" and a lot of food for thought. Both images were very good but that first one really rocked my boat! Great video. Cheers.
really really fantastic photos , beautiful colors i like so much congratulations
Thanks for the insight Henry. I bought a D7500 to learn on but want to upgrade. Since I don't use it for the money I'm just gonna save up for a bit and upgrade then. Thanks for all the work you do!
That first shot was lovely. Very peaceful and tranquil. I have a feeling that may be a good seller for you.
No surprises but always good to see you and your work! Since you mentioned it, I would have liked to see the “bumps” sot as you did it plus long exposure! Would be nice to compare! Great video! Thanks Henry!
Great video Henry! I have a Canon 5D MkIV and a Canon 90D which is a crop sensor camera. Sometimes that crop sensor comes in handy for certain shots so I keep both.
'i hope you like it', he said.. No, Henry, i don't just like it, it's beautiful. Absolutely love how the light just grazes parts of the vegetation.. Great rays, clouds, water... everything.
The 2nd image, to me, has a very cool/cold feel to it.. Even the ripples in the water enforce the cold feeling..
Another few minutes of instruction and entertainment, gone in next to no time.. Thank you Henry, looking forward to the next episode..
Thanks Henry I’d love a Z7 and will get one, haven’t mastered my D500 (which is a beast) yet. I want to maximise and realise its full potential before I move on
Just getting back into photography after years away, bought an old d800 and love it
Hi Henry and happy day! Always enjoy both your immense talent and enthusiasm! I don't know, I think the images out of the Z7 are just that much richer in color and depth. I've found myself saying that a couple times while watching your recent videos. I also remember the shot a little while ago at the river when you were all frustrated you blew the highlights. I don't think you would have saved that image with the D7200. Not knocking the D7200, I have a 40D I was awful fond of and made a bunch of great images with. The Z7 is just better. I think it was a great decision.
This informative and insightful synopsis about the value you find in the Z7 will be helpful to manny people.
I found your perspective quite refreshing and informative and as others have mentioned, composition is not reliant upon sensor size. I have a camera with an APS-C sensor, and am very happy with it. When I am a *competent* photographer I may consider changing, but till then... And if anyone who would like a further perspective on sensor sizes, Mark Denney has chronicled his journey on his YT channel: he went from Sony full-frame to Fujifilm APS-C and now has a medium format camera. He goes into some depth about the pros and cons of his choices.
Enjoyed the video. I shot with a Canon 70D, an APS-C camera (which I think might have actually been one of the Nikon D7200's main rivals) for a long time. I really loved that camera and I don't think anyone should let not having a full frame stop them in any way. I eventually got a Canon 5D Mark ii for several reasons. I wanted the extra creative freedom the increase in dynamic range would give me in post processing and also I enjoy collecting and playing around with vintage lenses as a side hobby. Full frame lets me see the entire character of the vintage 35mm lenses, which is something I really enjoy. I still keep the 70D as a backup since the 5D2 is an older camera, which I got to tide me over until the 5D mark iv went down in price, but the 5D mark ii is such a good camera, I'm actually not in any hurry to leave it. lol
Great as usual Henry, just a thought.... Have you tried hi Res mode out on your Olympus?
Henry - it must have been cold and I believe the wind - you face is a fresh red colour matching your jacket and toque! Brrrr. I’ve recently upgraded to a used D850. I’m very excited by the full frame! My alternates are Nikon D7000 (my first digital) and Fujifilm XT2 (for travel). I’m finding lovely surprises of quality upgrades vs my D7000. Thanks for the video (and all others)!
That first image was stunning. Class, as you would say! 👍
Who's this @ashstubbings2603 that left a comment on your video two years ago?! Oh..wait a minute! That's me! Funny what a difference two years can make though. I'm now shooting with the Z5 and loving every minute of it! If anything, I feel a little bit sorry for my Nikon D7000, which is still a very good camera, despite being 13 years old. But it has been ever-so-slightly upstaged!
I was quite tickled to learn that my crop sensor Canon 90D has the same bells and whistles that you mentioned about your Nikon Z7, except, of course, the full frame sensor. I never really thought of the 90D as a "high end" camera, at least compared to something like a Canon 5D Mark IV. But hey, if it has some of the modern conveniences, I'm happy with it! Also, I hear you about the wind battering you into submission. I live in the Rocky Mountains and quite often don't want to get out of the car because of how ridiculous the wind can get. Another great video, Henry, so cheers!
Hi Henry. Nice video. I live on the Southern side of Morecambe bay. We have lots of the 'bumps' on the salt marshes near us. They are know n locally as the 'Greenies' and 'Greeny hopping' is classed as a competitive sport amongst the kids round here. What can I say? It's quiet. We make our own entertainment.
STUNNING
It's more than just the camera. You know how they say that when you buy a particular brand camera that you buy into their eco system? The z series is a whole new eco system within Nikon. You can buy a d850 which has a 45 mp sensor that has just a much resolution and puts out high quality images. The lenses are what make the z series great. They have not put a out a bad lens yet. The new lenses are superior to the old f mount lenses. They're not just sharper they're sharp at nearly every aperture. There's a lot of older Nikon lenses that are mostly just sharp at certain apertures like f/8. If you look at the charts on the z lenses you'll see that they are nearly as sharp wide open as they are at the sweet spot. There little or no coma, chromatic aberration and little to no focus breathing. Focus breathing makes it harder to focus attack images. The old 14-24 is a great lens. The 14-30 is sharper corner to corner. And the new 14-24 is even sharper. If anyone is considering a crop sensor to start with, buy the z50 so you can get the best lenses. You can always adapt older lenses if you need to but you'll have access to their best lenses.
After 5 years of photography I still use my first ever entry level Canon and it's served me so well, I've got some quality shots on it, it's helped me grow my skills as a hobbyist photographer too, time for an upgrade soon like, looking at the canon 90D, feel like I have finally outgrown the 750D, personally I'm gonna stick to the crop sensors for that bit of extra length and I don't print my photos either so 32 megapixels should be more than enough haha! Great video as always pal, nice spot down Sunderland point 👍
Another great video Henry, although it's true the z7 looks great and I could go out and buy one, there's no point as I am enjoying my photography just as much with my olympus em1 mk 2 and I absolutely love it, it's all I need for my landscape photography, perhaps one day I'll get really good at it and feel the need for a better camera, but unless there's
A miracle and I somehow manage to avoid working 40 hours a week, I can't see how a better camera would give me more time to do the thing I love most, I'm pretty sure the most valuable thing is not the camera, but the time we can allocate to doing the thing we love most. ( apologies for the waffle, I had a glass of wine) lol
What you want from a camera? Such an excellent starting question; essential I think. I wanted compact, light, flip screen...this and that. I gave up some useful features to get what would work for me. I don't believe there is a camera or camera system that can do it all, without compromise. You have to live with the compromise you can accept.
Really liked this
First shot is an absolute belter buddy. Have a great weekend 💪
Thank you 👍📷😎
Brilliant vlog, Henry. And you genuinely cheered me up and made me laugh after a tough week at work. "I'm not into cars and all that...but I've got a Lamborghini!" 😆 Class 😆 Thank you again.
I shoot mostly in MFT with an Olympus EM1ii. but in winter, when the light drops I tend to use my older Sony A7ii with FF sensor, purely because it has less noise in low light. But low light aside I honestly can't tell any difference in IQ. Theoretically, the Sony has an extra stop of dynamic range, but I really can't tell. A good image beats good IQ every time! Its the camera you have with you that counts.
Fully agree, the sensor format that is not that critical but what you do with the images that should determine the gear. I would expect a newer system to be better than an older system (Z vs F in Nikon e.g.) for all manufacturers. And this improvement would be independent of sensor size. Newer cameras, especially mirrorless, have many nice features that can make a photographer's life easier; which features you like depends.
Interesting subject since I own a D7200 and looking to upgrade. Nice hat by the way, from a canadian!
Hi Henry, great video. I recently upgraded from the D7200 to a Z6ii. I miss my tamron 16-400 ( traded that in too) so I was wondering what lens set up you use. I’m considering changing the 24-70 f4 to the 24-200 for the additional reach. I’d appreciate your thoughts….. thanks Andy
That first image is stunning!!
I love my D7200 but I would like the live histogram. Thinking of getting a D500
Great video. Great photos. I have to admit I am a bit of a gear pig, but that is only because I don't get an opportunity to go out and shoot much. If I did have more opportunity to shoot, I would be less of a gear pig. I know that sounds strange, but gear collection is a way to enjoy photography for those that are too busy to go out much. Hopefully that will change for me soon and I will be able to think more about the photos and less about the gear.
HEY DOM here wow 58 k subs keep going man!
Hi Henry, I’m a beginner/amateur and currently shooting with an elderly Nikon D40x (getting some good results) hoping to upgrade to a (less elderly) Nikon D5500 soon purely to get multiple focal points and live view. As you say it all boils down to what you do with your images. You are a professional who makes a living out of the gear that you have so you need to give yourself an edge and rightly so. I think I can speak for a lot of us amateurs that we just want to take good quality images that we can be proud of. I’m managing that now with what I have. There is a saying that “the best gear doesn’t make you a better photographer” I’m trying to hone my skills with what I have and the help of you guys and loving it. It’s a long journey and I for one appreciate all the advice you pass on freely. Keep helping us become better please 😉 Two lovely images BTW 👍Regards Garry
I must say that although “equipment doesn’t matter” you are going to see a huge jump in image quality, dynamic range and general usability when you upgrade. That camera has a legendary Sony CCD sensor and I would keep it around just for that but a D5300 or D5500 is a huge jump up. Not sure what your lens collection looks like but try to have at least one fast prime like the 35mm f/1.8 AF-s DX. It can change your photography.
@@jml7916 thanks for that, I have two kit lenses, 18 - 55 and 55 - 200 also a Tamron 70 - 300 (macro) If I can upgrade the body first then I will look at a quick prime later once I have got to grips with the upgrade. Learning all the time and enjoying it 👍
I got d5300 and I'm disappointed with lack of native dx format lenses. Nikon never cared about dx format. So most of the time I'm using gx90 and omdem10mk2
Gear does matter it makes you want to go and shoot, i recently bought the fuji x100v and just couldn’t get away with it and used it maybe 3 times and every time i used it went back in the bag and the xt3 came out, so i sold it and bought a new lens i will definitely use more 😁
My old Fuji s9600 had a live histogram, flip screen and it was mirrorless! Sadly it died (when I dropped into a stream at Glenco)! My current camera is a Nikon 7200 which does not have live histogram a flip screen and not mirrorless but because it's more modern takes better images (newer technology). The point is if Fuji could make a mirrorless camera like the s9600 take great images over 16 years ago, why on earth are mirrorless DSLR's so expensive now? Maybe if camera manufacturers sold them for less more people would buy them and they would make more money?! But I suppose if they did that no-one would buy the cheaper end cameras pushing their profits down!!?
I love my Z7, I think I enjoy photography more with it.
Most of my pictures only go on Instagram, where the portrait ratio is the 5x4, so if I’m taking a tight portrait (zoo animals mostly) I’ll take it in the 5x4 crop so I can get it framed better, and I’m not like, randomly losing an ear.
I upgraded my used canon 760D to a used 7DMKii and it really improved my photos. Both crop sensor but the biggest feature I like is being able to use exposure compensation in manual with auto iso for hand held photos
Henry don’t try to justify your nice camera, just enjoy it!
Excellent!! Thanks for sharing.. I been wondering about to get this camera but the 45 megapixels file is topping me from get it.. but this camera have a wonderful attribute whish is the 24 and the 11 megapixel mode, I know it drops to 12 bit my question is on a 24Mpxl mode how the file looks? Would you please let me know?. Did you notice a significant improvement in the auto focus after the firmware 3.4? buy the way I subscribed to your channel, keep up with the good job!!
You actually proved that gear doesn't really matter. If a tool has all the essential functions it just does. You kicked everybody else's butts with a crop sensor camera up until recently. Every car is just a car. The latest Tesla is no different than a 1972 Nova really. They both can get you to the grocery store and back home, which is really why you even have a car. We want new stuff because it's fun to shop and maybe I want air conditioning in the car on a hot day. It took everything I had to not sell my Z7 and order the Z9 (I didn't really even need the Z7 over my Z6). I'm not shooting race cars and if I did, I could still capture what was necessary. To me, you're a master of composition and that's inspiring. You're not lazy and you go the extra mile. I may be an odd fish, but I have more respect for the person that do the most with the least, If your camera knows what a car is and has the ability to stick with it, how does that impact craft? Keep on sharing.
Gears matter, depends on the type of photography.
@@ark8tct That's exactly right Ark.
I moved to mirrorless this spring. With the introduction of the second iteration of Z cameras there were a lot of used Z6’s available at a reasonable price. Decided to sell my D7200 and upgrade while it still had some good value. I don’t regret it one bit.
What do you feel you benefit most from upgrading to a Z6 from d7200? Im currently thinking of going to a d7200 or to go the mirrorless way
@@Fromatic I really liked my D7200 but their are several things that convinced me to switch. Of course it’s full frame vs crop would be one. I was really interested in the live histogram and focus peaking. The flip screen comes in handy as I find myself shooting from a low angle frequently. The touch screen is also nice. I don’t really use all the capabilities but being able to quickly pull up the i menu to make changes to whatever I need is really nice. I’m on and off the tripod a lot so quick access to ibis and exposure delay mode is helpful. I know there are benefits with face/eye detect but I rarely photograph people. Almost forgot to mention the lenses. Anyway as I stated before part of the reason I upgraded was because the d7200 still had good value.
@@scothowe539 all sounds reasonable and for similar usage, I find myself practically lying down quite often trying to get low angle shots so could use a tilt screen, convincing myself it's not a necessity but it would be nice to have, histogram would be very nice, and of course full frame and just modern interface is a plus. Maybe I'll skip the d7200 and wait another year for prices to fall a little more and go the mirrorless route cheers
@@Fromatic Good luck. I did buy my Z6 used to save money. Every camera I’ve bought since I took up photography has been used except ironically the d7200 and my Z5 that I got for $999.
@@scothowe539 cheers, yes my gear apart from 1 or 2 lenses has been used also and so will the next body, a used camera site I've been looking at have d7200's for around £500 with shutter counts as low as 3000 so practically unused, and z6's around £1200, already leaning back towards the d7200 based on that, and so I can still use my current dx lenses as well as older lenses without built in autofocus motors which is one of the reasons I've been looking at it, maybe mirrorless can wait a few more years
Both very nice images ...
Nice work Henry.
I have noticed that a FF sensor has more dynamic range than an APS-C sensor. The images seem to have richer colors, and more contrast.
That is true and even more so with the four/thirds Olympus OM-D E-M1 mk2 that Henry has (I have one as well) However, it is better than a full-frame from a decade ago IMHO. 😊
That was the biggest thing I noticed too when switching to full frame. My first FF was 24mp. The change to a high res sensor (42mp in my case) was less dramatic.
The Nikon Z7 has a dynamic range of 14.7EVs. That is a huge dynamic range.
However, the D7200 has a dynamic range of 14.6 EVs. It was one of it’s main attributes. It’s main competition at the time of release was the Canon 7d mkII which only had a dynamic range of 11.8 EVs by comparison. Even the Canon 5d mkIV which came out a year after the Nikon D7200 only had a dynamic range of 13.6 EVs. A Sony A7r IV is rated as 14.77 EVs.
The D7200 still ranks extremely highly for dynamic range even by today’s standards. So while what you’re saying about FF vs APS-C is generally true, it doesn’t apply to the D7200 which was miles ahead on it’s release and only being caught up with today.
I will get a full frame someday. More than likely it will be a refurbished Nikon Z6 or 7. I have a Z50 and a D7100. They both offer unique advantages, so I’m glad I have them both and a lens adapter for the Z. Loved the seascape!
Tell me more about what you like about the Z50 versus the D7100 ?
@@SomeTechGuy666 The three things I have really enjoyed with the Z50 would be the size, electronic viewfinder, and the fast continuous shooting feature. I have a Z7 now, but the Z50 still gets used a lot. Quality photos and video. Perfect for street photography.
Dynamic Range. That's the basic difference between the two. Both produce excellent images that can be enlarged as big as you like and the images on a billboard at a distance will look just fine. It's all in the way the sensor renders the image and the beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder. The D7200 has a niche in the Nikon lineup akin to the D700, it renders images with a dynamic range that isn't matched in the cameras that came before or after it. The same thing happened with the Z7, it is a new sensor designed specifically for the Z mirrorless range. The Z 7ii has an upgraded sensor which leaves the Z 7 in a niche of its own just like the D7200 and my beloved D700. The difference is very subtle, but well worth it for anyone wanting to give it a try.
From DXO site The class-leading APS-C sensor scores from the Nikon D7200 mean that results from the smaller DX format are getting ever closer to
the best full-frame sensors. Despite being a little way off from breaking through the 90-point barrier, an overall score of 87 from the
D7200 is only a half-stop behind the Nikon D610 with 94 points, and two-thirds of a stop off the best-performing sensor we've tested
(the D810 with 97 points).
The big difference between DX and FX sensors is still in their Low-Light ISO performance, where the physically larger sensor and greater
pixel pitch results in over one-stop better sensitivity for the larger format. Results are closer for Color Sensitivity and Dynamic Range,
however, putting the D7200's sensor performance in the same ballpark as the D810 and D610 for these sub-scores. The D7200's
outstanding Dynamic Range score of 14.6 EVs actually surpasses that of the D610 at base ISO, and is only 0.2 EVs behind the D810. As
sensitivity increases, the rate of decline in Dynamic Range is broadly similar, too, with all three sensors offering good Dynamic Range of
over 10 EVs up to ISO 3200.
For Color Sensitivity, the larger FX formats are superior at base ISO, but with overall Portrait scores of 24.5 bits for the D7200 compared
to 25.1 bits & 25.7 bits for the D610 and D810, respectively, the difference is less than one stop. As sensitivity increases, the gap
between the APS-C and full-frame sensors for color widens a little, however, so while good Color Sensitivity over 20 bits is possible on
the D810 and D610 up to ISO 1600, the D7200's APS-C sensor tails off at ISO 800.
Of course the Z series is I’m sure like the d850 a bit higher still but great performance from the d7200
I was wondering if you hadn't broke you D7200 would you still be using it. Got the feeling you were ready to make the switch Henry so possibly would have occurred naturally. I made the move to the EOSR but it wasn't for the purposes of a better sensor. My biggest need was a fully articulating screen and the fixed screen was limiting me in some some instances. Did consider using the Canon connect app but didn't want to waste time connecting the camera to my mobile device. Think you have proven time and time again its the person behind the camera that is the biggest influence on picture quality
Beautiful second photo
If this was just before Storm Arwen then blooming heck it was windy that night. Did you get out in the snow on Sunday? I went to Beacon Fell and it was quite deep there). P.S. as with everything, get the best thing you can justify.
The camera does not matter for taking a photo because it's the person who composes and takes the shot, but it does matter for the technical quality of the image (so does the lens). But most importantly, if you shoot with a camera that is fun to use to you, it is more likely that you take it out and actually take shots an therefore the chances are bigger to take a keeper, banger or whatever you call it.
I don't shoot landscapes. I shoot mostly birds/wildlife. I have been shooting with the D500 for four years now, and the D850 for two years, both cameras are fantastic, the only thing the D850 has over the D500 is more pixels which means more cropping headroom, it also helps when the animal is close and you are using a fixed prime lens you have more headroom. In regards to image quality between crop vs FF sensor, I don't see any. I print 17x22 size prints with my Canon Prograf PRO1000 and the results are fantastic from both cameras.
Hi hentry waht is the best Memory card for Z6/z7 series or Z6ii / Z7ii
I post to instagram but I wouldn't use my phone as the source of my images, always my 5d IV. So I would disagree on that comment you made. I want the highest quality I can afford and that I'm personally satisfied with when viewed on my PC, regardless of where I post my image. Smartphone images never impress me when I compare them side by side out in the field. However I do agree that over time in terms of camera's, the composition and lighting are what you should always search for.
Some good points here mate.
In my opinion, there are only two types of images: good ones and bad ones. Doesn’t matter what you’ve used to take it. The difference gear makes is simply the quality of the image.
Love the honesty
Yes, buy according to individual needs. I shoot a lot, and often in low light. For me, the best benefit in getting a full-frame camera is the better ISO performance. With it (Canon 5D4), I can shoot at ISO 800 or even 1600 without a major hit in image quality. I shot for 2 years with what was Canon's best crop sensor camera, the 80D, and if my ISO was higher than 400 or 640, the quality of my files suffered. If my exposure was a bit off, they would not respond well to editing in Lightroom. And you could see the grain starting at 800. Major improvement with full-frame.
And also, as you say, the many added helpful features that come with a higher-end camera together make a big difference, if you shoot a lot. Camera quality does matter. And I'll be controversial--I find it is important even for Instagram or FB posts. I occasionally get a good shot with my (high end) phone and post it, but its clear to me that the image quality is always much less than what I could have gotten with any kind of real camera--if you look at it on a large screen.
Nice shots today, Henry. In general, I do enjoy your photography and your detailed discussions on how you achieve it, including many helpful tips.
Not really bothered about the Z7 (don't think I'll be buying one), but I did like the images. Just use what you have and try your best is my motto.
When buying a second hand digital camera, is there a maximum number of clicks one should look at before NOT buying it?
Every upgrade I've had along the way has been underwhelming in terms of image quality. The real boost has been in user experience: more buttons, touchscreen, better menu layout, bigger brighter higher refresh rate screens and viewfinders, and all the special functions, etc. I've been playing with an old small sensor superzoom lately and it produces remarkably good images - provided you aren't dealing with high dynamic range, low light or anything moving too fast - but using it is just painful. It takes a week to change the settings, handy features basically don't exist, and the displays have slightly less detail than I could manage with a quick sketch. You can literally see a grey grid between each pixel on the viewfinder.
Have you experiment much with your video camera for stills? The high res mode should be able to outdo the Z7 provided the conditions aren't too extreme.
I’ve owned Nikon FF D700 and D610, just switched to Fujifilm and I’ll never switch back. Nikon has all was been known to have the best lenses and I still use my older AIS lenses, Nikon is really has behind the 8ball on body’s and is now catching up but at a over price cost. I’ve been a Nikon user and lover for over 30 years.
🇨🇦/🇺🇸... Hey there Henry. I work as a Large-Format printing tech. I heard you mention about printing a "massive billboard". Welp... I know I've commented about this before... even that doesn't require a larger sensor IF one is VIEWING from the highway. The difference really is whether a person is going to be walking right up next to a huge image... such as when printing a large wall-paper image in a atrium or foyer. THEN it matters. Even then, however, a scene of a mountain is different than a scene of a mountain with teeny tiny little mountain climbers, tiny little mountain goats and a tiny little hawk! On top of that a hot day SHIMMERS ruining the sharpness of an image where a cold day keeps its sharpness. Then there is tripods... don't get me started on "stiffness" vs "vibration damping" on tripods! Now... besides my full frame D810 I, too, have an Olympus OM-D E-M1 mk2. Because I have health issues (neck and shoulders) that make it difficult to carry the massive D810 around for long hikes, and unless I have a specific image I want to take with a higher rez full-frame, I will often just take my Four/Thirds to save me the aches and pains! I'll bet Simon Baxter would appreciate that. Cheers, bro! 😉
What a 🌅 sunset
Legend bud
That's is a good common sense. I'd love to have a Z7 or even a Z9 but I can do my work pretty much well with a Z50! And save the money for lenses, etc..
As a happy D7500 owner with upgrade envy-i-tist I have been contemplating spending another £2k on a D850, so thank you for saving me from myself.... now I have a £2k budget to spend on the T6 campervan 🤭
Why didn't you get the D850? Seems just as good for landscape and the lens are cheaper
I normally don’t get into gear talks much but I have to ask: love the gloves with the flip-off finger tips. What’s the brand/model, @henryturner?
He has explained the glove part in one of his videos
My D3000 is coming up for it 6th anniversary this week and I love it. The things I don't like about it are the following: dreadful low light performance, I daren't go over iso 800. Very slow cache, as it takes about 12 seconds to load all shots taken in RAW. No weather shielding and no dual card slot. Other than that, it takes great photos.
The D7000 would sort all those short comings for me for about 200 squiddies.
In an ideal world the D7100 and the Nikkor 10-20mm (which wont work on the D7000 😦) would be great for my thunder and lightning shots. But you can't have everything, certainly not on my lack of budget.
At the end of the day and as you so rightly say mate, it's about getting out and capturing nature in all it's glory.
Beautiful shots by the way.
Man, I thought I was the only one who loved the output from the 10MP CCD sensor of the D3000. Good to know some D3000 owners still around. Brilliant little low ISO camera. Will never sell it. Got it in 2010 and started my photographic journey.
@@victorlim5077 Oh good man 👍.
Same here, I'll never sell it.
I was also wondering if I am not only guy with d3000. Can anybody suggest lenses for it apart from kit lens that I have 18-55. Thanks.
@@sudhakarl3487 How much money do you have is my first question.
What type of photography do you do is the second question.
@@badger67 I like landscape photography and portrait sometimes. My budget is under 300 bucks.
Vari-angle touch screen and built in WiFi are the reasons I went mirrorless from my D7100.
The only thing that I genuinely dislike about my d7200 is the color accuracy. Especially in the Grey's, reds and oranges.
Nice one Henry, though i think you may have stirred the hornets nest with this subject. My view is make the most of the camera you have until you need to upgrade. Love the image with rays.
