Env scientist here: You are both right about ozone because there are 2 types: good (stratospheric) and bad (tropospheric). Stratospheric prevents harmful UV radiation whereas tropospheric ozone is a greenhouse gas that prevents radiation from the Earth being able to pass into space thus causing global warming. Stratospheric ozone is produced naturally while tropospheric ozone is produced by humans. The Montreal protocol heavily regulated chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs -> the stuff in aerosols) thus the hole in the ozone layer has been making a miraculous recovery which is why you probably don’t here much about it anymore. Also interestingly enough we use ozone to disinfect our drinking waters sometimes since it produces less toxic disinfection byproducts than free available chlorine. Hope that helps!
Also, tropospheric, or at least ground-level, ozone is bad because it's harmful to human health, everything from headaches and irritation (and the smell) to permanent lung damage.
To put a few things right: 1. The whole „Nikon is dying“ thing came from some badly informed influencers etc who were trying to get views with clickbait videos / articles. 2. Yes, Nikon had ONE year of losses in 2020, partially because of COVID but mainly because of shutting down the Japanese factories and moving to Thailand, stopping production on some DSLR lines and not yet having enough mirrorless. 3. The Z 6/7 II were not ideal when they came out (just after the Canon R5 and R6) and didn’t allow Nikon to recover market share. 4. HOWEVER, the Nikon Z 9 has been extremely popular since launch and has seemingly gotten a lot of marketshare in the professional / high speed camera market, also launching it at $ 5500 which is 500 / 1000 below Canon Sony‘s equivalent model was a massive deal. 5. The Z 8, basically a mini Z9 with the same technology is even more affordable has been equally successful and considered to be one of the best hybrid cameras. 6. Nikon got sued first by RED for implementing NRAW which is a compressed codes based on TicoRaw‘s compression algorithm which sports industry leading efficiency! Nikon then sued back, basically questioning the validity and righteousness of the patent. The suit got eventually dismissed without prejudice. 7. Nikon is making significant profit with both their cameras and lenses and currently growing. Look at the current financial statements. Also, they acquired SLM a German company a market leader for industrial high tech 3D printing for $ 660 million, showing that Nikon has considerable finiancial resources. RED will have been significantly less then that.
Finally an informed person. Thanks. Here is my take on... (1) why Nikon had a real shot with their lawsuit against RED in contrary to Apple, Sony and others: (2) why Nikon won't licence internal compressed RAW in the near future to competitors: (3) why it's a good thing: (1) Nikon had an entirely different lawsuit approach as shown in the video below. th-cam.com/video/__X25Fr2K_M/w-d-xo.html Nikon claimed that the application for the patent wasn't valid in the first place as RED made serious mistakes doing so. And Nikon surely has tangible evidence for it, which other competitors don't have. (2) BUT if Nikon had won the lawsuit instead of the joint dismissal and agreement with RED in 2023, RED would have lost their patent. Which wouldn't have been just a big loss for RED but a loss for Nikon too. Because not just Nikon would have benefitted from a "free" patent, even more so Nikon's competitors, who already have a good grasp in the video/cinema industry. So with their joint dismissal of the lawsuit and their agreement the important patent still stays intact. And now RED and Nikon can benefit from each other without other competitors benefitting from the patent. (3) In a strong competition with big companies like Canon and Sony having a strong ally behind your back is a good thing for development and production resources AND in the end for the consumer.
Honestly, for how overpriced RED is, i am all for the tech and software trickle down to nikon cameras, I hope they make red more affordable combined video-photo cameras, so you have one camera for everything.
Nikon should also acquire a japanese phone company like vivo to implement more efficient cooling, processors, better wi-fi and bluetooth, and better software, maybe even a purpose made software on the cameras, that plays well with paired android (phones/tablets), but for the video and photo features is just way more efficient...
The McDonalds hot coffee lawsuit wasn't ridiculous, it's a popular misconception that litigation happy America allowed it to happen but the woman suffered extreme burns and McDonalds were found to intentionally make their coffee way too hot for consumption so it would last longer and they'd need to brew fewer times throughout the day.
I think it is important to add they settled a lof of cases like that in years prior to this one, so they even knew they are in the wrong and they still risked people health
Yea, and woman injured initially wasn't even asking for much but just for McDonald's to pay a few hundred or thousand dollars for the treatment costs and that's but McDonald's ignored or declined her requests multiple times, leaving her with no option but to sue them.
When Nikon released the Z6 it wasn't the same situation as the RED lawsuit. You had to pay a $200 upgrade fee and send your camera back to Nikon to enable ProRes RAW recording, which we all know is an Apple codec, and Apple pays that license fee to RED. The lawsuit really started with the Z9 and the NRAW codec that Nikon created with IndoPix. If video is just a series of stills, then RAW video is just a series of RAW photos, and every professional camera can take a series of compressed RAW photos. The patent should never have been granted. It's partially the fault of the patent office, but also RED. When filing a patent, you're supposed to disclose if use of the technology had been mentioned or used prior to the filing and it had. As for the lens rotation and Nikon, Nikon were making lenses before most companies. They used to make lenses before they made cameras and made lenses for Canon at one point in history, so I would argue that everyone else's lenses are rotating wrong. I look at it the same way you drive a screw; right goes in and left pulls out.
Yep, everyones lenses are definitely rotating wrong the nikon way has always made much more sense to me, twist left to zoom out, right to zoom in; left to focus closer, right to focus farther, we do everything left to right why should camera controls be any different. Also, prores raw is not true raw the image is demosaiced before getting encoded, apple doesn't pay royalties to red for prores raw
@@SooksVI im sorry I'll look into that, but im pretty sure prores raw is demosaiced, hence not raw in the true sense of it, the lawsuit may have been about something else
Nikon Z lenses have the ability to change focus rotation as well as the focus throw, so this should not be an issue for folks coming from Canon or Sony
15:30 Nikon is not on their deathbed. They do more than cameras. In addition to buying RED, they also have Marc Roberts Motion Control (which I believe you guys use... right?). They manufacture medical imaging equipment. Also, best bit, and something I learned recently from a Nikon Rep: while Sony makes all the generic sensors for companies to retool and send to Sony for production, the fabricators that makes Sony's sensors are... made by Nikon! So whenever any Sony Pony uses the whole "Sony makes the sensors in your camera" argument, you can always tell them that the machines used to make those sensors were made by Nikon.
@@bb69bbNo, Sony makes the generic sensor types that companies take and work the color science, software and the processing. Sony flatout makes the sensors.
As a concert photographer, I will say I'm almost always the only Nikon shooter in the pit. It's usually Sony, with a Canon here or there. Also, Nikon isn't doing as poorly as you think.
i mean, saying you’re almost always the ONLY Nikon shooter in the pit doesn’t inspire confidence that “Nikon isn’t doing as poorly as you think”. it’d feel a lot better if you were like, “the pit is full of Nikon shooters as far as the eye can see!” Anyway, not saying you’re wrong, it’s just an odd shot/chaser saying almost no one uses it, but they’re also doing better than it seems.
This podcast is my serotonin at this point, whenever I need friends, I know I have the waveform podcast. I’ve literally been waiting the whole day. Thanks adam ❤
I've been birding for the past two years and i can vouch for Nikon being an INCREDIBLE choice for birding. Nikon and Cannon are extremely popular in birding and sony is not that far behind. i use a Nikon D500 with Nikorr 200-500mm and a Sony A7III with a G 200-600mm
Yeah Sony do have a slightly better autofocus system still, but Nikon are now really far ahead on telephoto glass options. Seems like they're just bringing out something new every few months now. The firmware updates to the Z9 have been incredible, but it does still have a tendency to front focus on the cheeks of birds/eyelashes on humans, which is something Sony seem to have pretty much completely solved. Nikon's attitude to firmware updates is a breath of fresh air and seems to be prodding a few other manufacturers into doing more too (e.g. Sony are _finally_ bringing some updates to the A1 😅)
yeah been birding using a Nikon too, planning on moving up to the Z and getting a nikkor 180-600z(or go the Sony A7III with a G 200-600mm route lol). but will wait for a bit after hearing the Nikon red news(hoping for some new z bodies).
From what I understand, Nikon historically have made a lot of their money through glass. I believe they make glass for a number of other companies too, and they used to even have Nikon lenses on other cameras (e.g. the Plaubel Makina). They took too long shifting their focus to mirrorless and that's largely the cause of their downturn, but the last year has seen a big uptick in their fortunes now that they're heavily focusing on it. The Z8 and Zf look to be very popular so far - the Zf is apparently one of the best-selling cameras in February in Japan. I've got a Z9 that I largely use for wildlife photography (an area that Nikon still dominate, in my experience, and they have by far the best telephoto selection), and its video spec is really, really good. The only things really missing are a better LOG profile (I hate grading the current one, compared to Panasonic's), and video-specific lenses. If the RED purchase means Nikon are gonna start churning out video lenses, we could be in for a bit of a treat.
It's not true that the hole in the ozone layer is gone, but it's mostly healing and the remnants over the arctic is said to be fully closed in 10 years.
I shot a short film about 10yrs back, on a RED with Nikon glass, and it was a surprisingly good combo, I'm sure there's opportunities for RED to get some amazing custom glass from Nikon. I also think Nikon started to return to form about 2yrs ago with the Z9 and then the Z8, which are both phenomenal cameras, (I shoot on Z9) and both sold really well. Hopefully it all works out well for both companies, more competition for Sony and Cannon should be good for everyone 🙌🏻
Yeah I've had the Z9 for almost a year now and it's just constantly getting better every few months. The latest firmware 5.0 finally separates photo and video settings properly 🤩 The only thing really missing now are more options in the wide/standard focal length ranges, and video-specific lenses. I'd really like to see Sigma bringing some stuff like their 24-70 f/2.8 and new lightweight 70-200 f/2.8 to the Z mount next. Something similar to Panasonic's 20-60mm would be nice too.
As an engineer, the discussion about ozone was making me absolutely furious. Please do some research guys and come back to this next episode. Anyways, love the podcast!!
O3 isn't stable, it decays naturally and has to be continually reformed. This happens via the absorption of UV radiation, so "the ozone layer" doesn't really block UV radiation, large amounts of UV energy is absorbed by the formation of ozone from oxygen in the upper atmosphere. CFCs were so bad because they not only take this energy for their own chemical processes, but one of the products (chlorine gas) singlehandedly catalyzes the O3 -> O2 reaction that normally happens a lot slower. So CFCs stop the formation of new ozone while simultaneously speeding up the break-down of ozone gas.
Maybe I missed it, but I was expecting somebody to point out that Nikon now has global shutter technology. That might be a significant thing in the near future. And yes, Nikon is the smallest of the three. And it shows the most in marketing, which partly explains how the majority of starters don't really consider Nikon. But they are very profitable, also because Nikon doesn't only sell photo equipment, but is also heavily invested in the industrial optics. The first gen Z6 & Z7 were a bit of a disappointment, but the Z8 & Z9, "retro styled" ZF and no doubt the future Z6III are on pair with the competition, improving on them on some specs. The lens mount twist direction is a lame thing to whine about. Nikon has had it since the F mount saw light of day 65 years ago. Imagine Nikon deciding "no let's do it like Canon, they are the leader". That would not get a warm reception from its user base. At all. If you can use a new camera with different button placements, color science and menus.... you can learn a new direction to twist a lens or focus ring. We're all curious what the future will bring, even for me as someone who never uses the video mode on my Z cameras. Nikon is a big, old, traditional Japanese company with a specific culture and values. While RED is a small niche US company with its own mentality and pace. I'm interested in how this will work out.
19:16 The PL standard was actually invented by ARRI in the 80s. But they opened it for everybody to use it. There is some proprietary communication build in with LDS but everybody else can use the mount passively no problem. LPL is the large format successor on Alexa LF, Mini LF and Alexa35
I think the biggest take away is that Nikon just bought a bunch of tech that they can include in their future Nikon lineups including REDs global shutter technology.
Nikon has always had good rolling shutter, their current cameras have brought it down to 3ms, which is the lowest rolling shutter in the consumer space
I've heard that most people who have it love the service. If you don't mind my asking, do you find it more useful and utilities then say a podcatcher or spotify?
If you have Google Fi unlimited it comes with YT Premium for free. Along with google one (100 GB cloud storage). There's rumors they're adding nest aware and Fitbit premium to Google one as well (already launched in the UK). It's a great deal.
@@traviskitteh I wouldn't say it's more useful just because of those features. One of the reasons I got it in the first place is because the no-adds just makes everything better. I know there's add blocker but if you're using the apps or a TV, there's nothing better than YT premium.
Not that I support dealer markups, but as a point for Andrew's grocery store analogy, the same box of cereal can cost quite different prices depending on which grocery store you go to and, also, what part of the country you're in. Grocery markups are a very real thing.
18:50 You can change the direction in the menu settings. Obviously not for the physical lens mount, but for everything else like focus, etc. that’s just a menu setting.
You & Southside Rabbi are literally the only podcasts I watch regularly. We need more black creators on TH-cam. So many smart people here lol. Keep up the hard work ya’ll. ❤️🙏🏻🔥
Nikon is literally flipping their reputation but even more their science the Z line. They are getting out of the hole since 3 years. Also their mount is widest of the industry. And you can reverse the focus direction. PetaPixel just talked about it this week in their podcast.
You should be able to sell your property as you see fit, no ifs and or buts. Flippers suck for sure, but to have a corporation control what a sovereign individual can do is crazy to me.
The Z9 and Z8 made a big splash for Nikon, so they're in a different space than they were just a few short years ago. Also, their cameras allow users to change the lens focus direction now.
45:53 you guys are completely missing why people order 2 Tesla and flip. They get the tax incentive and sell the car, getting thousands of dollars off for free (assuming they sell at least or more what they bought it at).
Nikon fanboy here. Wow, calm down about calling Nikon on their death bed. Nikon was top dog ten years ago. Let's say they just had 5 -7 bad years. The brand has heritage, resilience, personality, loyal customer base, challenger mindset. Nikon is coming back baby, it was only a matter of time
Wow so much misunderstanding about Nikon without using one, think this is a perfect time for a video on Nikon may be z9/8 around this Nikon RED deal news
These guys talking about Nikon like they have nearly zero market share and that they're gonna turn around and degrade the quality of RED cameras... clearly have not used or held a Nikon camera in any serious depth. They manufacture extremely high quality pieces of equipment and glass. This move is gonna be good for consumers.
you should know that Nikon's newest cameras come with quite capable video features. But I was referring to the general comment that Nikon might degrade the quality of RED cameras which is preposterous @@life.with.sabine

The no-flip rule isn’t intended to stop people selling their product for a profit. It’s intended to stop people buying the product for the sole purpose of selling it for a profit. The people most upset by this rule are not true customers, but opportunists.
As colorist. Red one or arri is all the same. What makes arri constantly winning Oscar for cinematography is reliability. Red one is famous for shutting down and software issues. Red one is amazing at slow mo, it has nothing to do with grading. Hence why music videos and music that use lots of slow mo tend to go with red one. Red one also tend to go towards digital look rather than filmic. Also lots of cinematographer are going back to film. Red one history has always been amazing at marketing and resolution. Arri history is very closely related to lots of film roots. Their rental house is everywhere and most camera operators is arri trained. Both camera are excellent, but nothing beats reliability of arri or panavision.
Nikon needs to send yal a Z8/9. Id wouldn’t be shocked if you dropped the R5 and canons wobbly ibis and overheating in the bin 🚮. Those Z cameras are better in almost every way.
About the counter-intuitive "compressed raw": compression need not be lossy. It's often the case that we think we're losing information when compressing but this isn't always the case (take PNG images for instance). So if it's compressed raw, they're most likely using a lossless compression algorithm that is hopefully optimised for video. It's not really about "removing frequencies of light that our eyes can't even see". The compression here is most likely not discarding any data at all. The whole point of raw is to have that data precision that your eye doesn't even notice so that you can edit it freely *before* encoding it yourself (degrading it), avoiding artefacts and increasing editing possibilities.
I think the reason why Spotify having music videos (similar to Apple Music) is sometimes artists release music videos with a different mix from the original release (that's why labels usually release a separate lyric video for the original mix of the song). This is just my guess though.
Hey Andrew, I'm loving que quick keyboard segments on the podcast! Watched the VOD on LMNO and its awesome when you get impressions on the team about keebs :) Keep it up!
Nikon is a very, very capable optics company. Frankly I wish Nikon would produce a dedicated camera in partnership with Apple that is much better than an iPhone camera that in my opinion, lacks capable optics. I’ve always liked Nikon optics, but Apple has very good easy to use software that Nikon never had. I haven’t seen anything like this on the market.
Nikon makes most of their own glass, except on low end lenses they license and contract out. The same applies to Minolta and Pentax. Canon, unique among top drawer Japanese lens makers, does not make any of their own glass.
What's hilarious is years ago I thought of the exact opposite of what Tesla is doing where they basically say after you have had the car for about a year, they offer you to sign a contract where you can get a massive discount on your next car if you agree to buy from them. Could even opted into a small payment program see where you're slowly paying for your next vehicle years possibly even a decade before you buy another which would give you a massive discount on the actual vehicle in addition to whatever you paid for it in monthly payments.
Man, Marques!! You know what, I am going to write a special blog on my substack for you, just to clear the clouds of confusion around GHGs, radiations, and Ozone. Watch this space team...
Here's a hot take! sell me the truck at the sticker price that was advertised 4 years ago and I won't sell the truck! but if you jack up the price especially with the foundation series also being jacked up $20,000 above that, so that's a 40k increase don't get mad at me for trying to sell the truck, then take that extra money and then buy another cyber truck later when the price is more reasonable!
The bodega thing: both are true. One near me was bought by someone, who discovered the previous owners had stiffed every distributor in the state, so no one would do business with them. They would go to Sam’s Club or Costco for inventory. For about a year they simply didn’t have name-brand soda.
Here's my take on the flipping thing (which nobody asked for): while I hate flipping it shouldn't be "banned" by the company or whoever else, It's MY property I do what I want, If I want to try to sell it for double the price, I should be able too, it's up to the people to not be stupid and don't buy it
The shareholders are part owners of Tesla. It is different than being ‘a fan’ and buying merch. But when you buy a stock in a company, you are literally buying a share of the company, you co-own the company, most likely a very very small percentage, but you do co-own the company.
While "dealership markups" are a problem, the worst part is when the same dealership buys it, register it and then automatically sell it "used" with 300 miles with insane markup...
6:04 a bunch of spaces like this exist but aren't as well known. I'm sure there is a sewing machine space or a pen space. If chalk boards were still so widely used, there would probably be a chalk space (assuming there isn't one). Now that we've spoken about flipping cars, lets talk about the general woes of the housing market! 1:14:13 If ep.116 was your 1st, ep. 215 was your 100th.
Buy the cyber truck under a single asset LLC, and sell that LLC to someone. The vin doesn't change hands, only the entity does. Boom - loop hole. Still need a way to list it, so it doesn't solve the entire issue. And your Tesla account needs to be a separate account for the LLC only.
So what happens to the dealership that was selling cyber trucks for 130% mark-up? One NFL player was going to buy one but was advised against it. Also I might not like flipping but if I paid for something I have a huge issue with someone still effectively owning what I'm able to do with it. If another person wants to pay a higher price it's their problem.
The problem is that there are limit amount of products a company is able to make in a year. If you want the freedom to be able to sell the thing you buy then congratulations you are now never buying that item because 100,000 opportunist flippers just signed up to buy the product before you by using bots. By restricting people from resale you are making sure that the person buying the product is actually using the product. Its the same reason why we have a housing problem. All of these houses are being bought up by companies and not being lived in, just so they can make money reselling the property in the future. We desperately need laws that force the owners of properties to actually use that property.
A bodega sounds like what we'd call a convenience store here. It's open at inhospitable hours but you'll pay more for stuff for the convenience of being able to buy stuff when other shops are closed
FYI: You can sell an LLC that owns a cyber truck this avoid the legal ownership situation with the CYBERTRUCK purchase clause. BTW the first CYBERTRUCK sold on any auction site ever sold on Manheim for 244k and listed online(Porsche Dealer) for $290k
These clauses might also be there to control the news around their car/truck. Kinda curious to know if the first deliveries were first come first serve or carefully curated buyers. Assuming that any problems, safety concerns, pending tests can be addressed silently if you have buyers under some type of contract.

Here is my take on...
(1) why Nikon had a real shot with their lawsuit against RED in contrary to Apple, Sony and others:
(2) why Nikon won't licence internal compressed RAW in the near future to competitors:

If video is just a series of stills, then RAW video is just a series of RAW photos, and every professional camera can take a series of compressed RAW photos. The patent should never have been granted. It's partially the fault of the patent office, but also RED. When filing a patent, you're supposed to disclose if use of the technology had been mentioned or used prior to the filing and it had.
As for the lens rotation and Nikon, Nikon were making lenses before most companies. They used to make lenses before they made cameras and made lenses for Canon at one point in history, so I would argue that everyone else's lenses are rotating wrong. I look at it the same way you drive a screw; right goes in and left pulls out.
Yep, everyones lenses are definitely rotating wrong the nikon way has always made much more sense to me, twist left to zoom out, right to zoom in; left to focus closer, right to focus farther, we do everything left to right why should camera controls be any different.
Also, prores raw is not true raw the image is demosaiced before getting encoded, apple doesn't pay royalties to red for prores raw
@@chiefdenis Apple lost a suit to RED for the use of compressed RAW. I assumed it was for ProRes RAW. If it wasn't then what was it?
@@SooksVI im sorry I'll look into that, but im pretty sure prores raw is demosaiced, hence not raw in the true sense of it, the lawsuit may have been about something else
@@SooksVI turns out you're right, apple did lose that lawsuit against red as prores raw works similar to r3dcode
Nikon Z lenses have the ability to change focus rotation as well as the focus throw, so this should not be an issue for folks coming from Canon or Sony
15:30 Nikon is not on their deathbed. They do more than cameras. In addition to buying RED, they also have Marc Roberts Motion Control (which I believe you guys use... right?). They manufacture medical imaging equipment. Also, best bit, and something I learned recently from a Nikon Rep: while Sony makes all the generic sensors for companies to retool and send to Sony for production, the fabricators that makes Sony's sensors are... made by Nikon! So whenever any Sony Pony uses the whole "Sony makes the sensors in your camera" argument, you can always tell them that the machines used to make those sensors were made by Nikon.
I'm sure when people say Sony makes the sensors, they mean the r&d not literally make, like iPhone is made by apple not the chinese factory
Nikon also makes lithography equipment used to fabricate processors, they do WAY more than cameras
@@bb69bbNo, Sony makes the generic sensor types that companies take and work the color science, software and the processing. Sony flatout makes the sensors.
As a concert photographer, I will say I'm almost always the only Nikon shooter in the pit.
It's usually Sony, with a Canon here or there.
Also, Nikon isn't doing as poorly as you think.
i mean, saying you’re almost always the ONLY Nikon shooter in the pit doesn’t inspire confidence that “Nikon isn’t doing as poorly as you think”. it’d feel a lot better if you were like, “the pit is full of Nikon shooters as far as the eye can see!” Anyway, not saying you’re wrong, it’s just an odd shot/chaser saying almost no one uses it, but they’re also doing better than it seems.
This podcast is my serotonin at this point, whenever I need friends, I know I have the waveform podcast. I’ve literally been waiting the whole day. Thanks adam ❤
😢
I've been birding for the past two years and i can vouch for Nikon being an INCREDIBLE choice for birding. Nikon and Cannon are extremely popular in birding and sony is not that far behind. i use a Nikon D500 with Nikorr 200-500mm and a Sony A7III with a G 200-600mm
Yeah Sony do have a slightly better autofocus system still, but Nikon are now really far ahead on telephoto glass options. Seems like they're just bringing out something new every few months now. The firmware updates to the Z9 have been incredible, but it does still have a tendency to front focus on the cheeks of birds/eyelashes on humans, which is something Sony seem to have pretty much completely solved. Nikon's attitude to firmware updates is a breath of fresh air and seems to be prodding a few other manufacturers into doing more too (e.g. Sony are _finally_ bringing some updates to the A1 😅)
yeah been birding using a Nikon too, planning on moving up to the Z and getting a nikkor 180-600z(or go the Sony A7III with a G 200-600mm route lol). but will wait for a bit after hearing the Nikon red news(hoping for some new z bodies).
I like how you writing like birding is a serious thing.. lol
oh no you didn't. birding is very important to me don't come after that.
From what I understand, Nikon historically have made a lot of their money through glass. I believe they make glass for a number of other companies too, and they used to even have Nikon lenses on other cameras (e.g. the Plaubel Makina). They took too long shifting their focus to mirrorless and that's largely the cause of their downturn, but the last year has seen a big uptick in their fortunes now that they're heavily focusing on it. The Z8 and Zf look to be very popular so far - the Zf is apparently one of the best-selling cameras in February in Japan.
I've got a Z9 that I largely use for wildlife photography (an area that Nikon still dominate, in my experience, and they have by far the best telephoto selection), and its video spec is really, really good. The only things really missing are a better LOG profile (I hate grading the current one, compared to Panasonic's), and video-specific lenses. If the RED purchase means Nikon are gonna start churning out video lenses, we could be in for a bit of a treat.
It's not true that the hole in the ozone layer is gone, but it's mostly healing and the remnants over the arctic is said to be fully closed in 10 years.
Don’t snooze on Nikon Z8 and ZF. Def love to see the z mount Lens like the recently released 135 plena on RED cameras!
I shot a short film about 10yrs back, on a RED with Nikon glass, and it was a surprisingly good combo, I'm sure there's opportunities for RED to get some amazing custom glass from Nikon.
I also think Nikon started to return to form about 2yrs ago with the Z9 and then the Z8, which are both phenomenal cameras, (I shoot on Z9) and both sold really well.
Hopefully it all works out well for both companies, more competition for Sony and Cannon should be good for everyone 🙌🏻
Yeah I've had the Z9 for almost a year now and it's just constantly getting better every few months. The latest firmware 5.0 finally separates photo and video settings properly 🤩 The only thing really missing now are more options in the wide/standard focal length ranges, and video-specific lenses. I'd really like to see Sigma bringing some stuff like their 24-70 f/2.8 and new lightweight 70-200 f/2.8 to the Z mount next. Something similar to Panasonic's 20-60mm would be nice too.
0:32 that hole conversation started getting real funny as a opening bit.
Awesome as always!! minor fix: 27:10, H2O has two hydrogen and one oxygen atoms.
You are so ripped off in the US and you have no idea. Dealer markups, filing your own taxes, your healthcare costs and drugs. Insane.
As an engineer, the discussion about ozone was making me absolutely furious. Please do some research guys and come back to this next episode. Anyways, love the podcast!!
“Nikon Z8 & Z9 weren’t very popular”… both cameras were supply constrained for nearly a year..
David, the z8 and z9 is probably the best still camera to date.
I love this group!You guys are so fun to watch and listen to.
In Red+Nikon segment while talking about internal RAW recording you should have mentioned Blackmagic RAW
O3 isn't stable, it decays naturally and has to be continually reformed. This happens via the absorption of UV radiation, so "the ozone layer" doesn't really block UV radiation, large amounts of UV energy is absorbed by the formation of ozone from oxygen in the upper atmosphere. CFCs were so bad because they not only take this energy for their own chemical processes, but one of the products (chlorine gas) singlehandedly catalyzes the O3 -> O2 reaction that normally happens a lot slower. So CFCs stop the formation of new ozone while simultaneously speeding up the break-down of ozone gas.
Maybe I missed it, but I was expecting somebody to point out that Nikon now has global shutter technology. That might be a significant thing in the near future. And yes, Nikon is the smallest of the three. And it shows the most in marketing, which partly explains how the majority of starters don't really consider Nikon. But they are very profitable, also because Nikon doesn't only sell photo equipment, but is also heavily invested in the industrial optics. The first gen Z6 & Z7 were a bit of a disappointment, but the Z8 & Z9, "retro styled" ZF and no doubt the future Z6III are on pair with the competition, improving on them on some specs. The lens mount twist direction is a lame thing to whine about. Nikon has had it since the F mount saw light of day 65 years ago. Imagine Nikon deciding "no let's do it like Canon, they are the leader". That would not get a warm reception from its user base. At all. If you can use a new camera with different button placements, color science and menus.... you can learn a new direction to twist a lens or focus ring.
We're all curious what the future will bring, even for me as someone who never uses the video mode on my Z cameras. Nikon is a big, old, traditional Japanese company with a specific culture and values. While RED is a small niche US company with its own mentality and pace. I'm interested in how this will work out.
19:16 The PL standard was actually invented by ARRI in the 80s. But they opened it for everybody to use it. There is some proprietary communication build in with LDS but everybody else can use the mount passively no problem. LPL is the large format successor on Alexa LF, Mini LF and Alexa35
Hi Andrew! I also had no idea how to pause reels so you're not alone 😂😂
On all Z lenses, you can reverse the focus direction in menu..
I think the biggest take away is that Nikon just bought a bunch of tech that they can include in their future Nikon lineups including REDs global shutter technology.
Nikon has always had good rolling shutter, their current cameras have brought it down to 3ms, which is the lowest rolling shutter in the consumer space
Loving my yt premium so far. Podcast listening while my phone is off and I laying on my bed eyes closed is so pleasant.
Google TH-cam revanced 👀
I've heard that most people who have it love the service. If you don't mind my asking, do you find it more useful and utilities then say a podcatcher or spotify?
If you have Google Fi unlimited it comes with YT Premium for free. Along with google one (100 GB cloud storage). There's rumors they're adding nest aware and Fitbit premium to Google one as well (already launched in the UK). It's a great deal.
That is so me. That’s the only reason I got premium.
@@traviskitteh I wouldn't say it's more useful just because of those features. One of the reasons I got it in the first place is because the no-adds just makes everything better. I know there's add blocker but if you're using the apps or a TV, there's nothing better than YT premium.
Not that I support dealer markups, but as a point for Andrew's grocery store analogy, the same box of cereal can cost quite different prices depending on which grocery store you go to and, also, what part of the country you're in. Grocery markups are a very real thing.
18:50
You can change the direction in the menu settings. Obviously not for the physical lens mount, but for everything else like focus, etc. that’s just a menu setting.
You & Southside Rabbi are literally the only podcasts I watch regularly. We need more black creators on TH-cam. So many smart people here lol. Keep up the hard work ya’ll. ❤️🙏🏻🔥
David's famous waveform lines "Yeah I think" or "I'm pretty sure that's right"
Nikon is literally flipping their reputation but even more their science the Z line. They are getting out of the hole since 3 years. Also their mount is widest of the industry. And you can reverse the focus direction. PetaPixel just talked about it this week in their podcast.
2:55 that board sounds 🔥🔥🔥. WOAH.
I couldn't concentrate on what they were saying because those key taps caught my entire attention
You should be able to sell your property as you see fit, no ifs and or buts. Flippers suck for sure, but to have a corporation control what a sovereign individual can do is crazy to me.
The Z9 and Z8 made a big splash for Nikon, so they're in a different space than they were just a few short years ago. Also, their cameras allow users to change the lens focus direction now.
45:53 you guys are completely missing why people order 2 Tesla and flip. They get the tax incentive and sell the car, getting thousands of dollars off for free (assuming they sell at least or more what they bought it at).
I need more MKBHD high end keyboard content in my life. Y'all have one of the best boards ever made in a custom color way. Dear God.
Maybe the keyboard content can be its own channel. I think it's uninteresting. I've been using the same keyboard for 20 years.
45:53 i hate flipping too but regardless of that people should be able to sell their PROPERTY
1:08:00
Yep, they do have ads. They have ads everywhere!
An early Waveform in the UK is always a good think! Hope all OK with the fire outside recently too
It’s early plus our timings with the US are off for the next few weeks until our clocks go back on the 31st.
Hey Matt!
Nikon fanboy here. Wow, calm down about calling Nikon on their death bed. Nikon was top dog ten years ago. Let's say they just had 5 -7 bad years. The brand has heritage, resilience, personality, loyal customer base, challenger mindset. Nikon is coming back baby, it was only a matter of time
Wow so much misunderstanding about Nikon without using one, think this is a perfect time for a video on Nikon may be z9/8 around this Nikon RED deal news
I might be trippin, is there a link to the company that made that keyboard?
These guys talking about Nikon like they have nearly zero market share and that they're gonna turn around and degrade the quality of RED cameras... clearly have not used or held a Nikon camera in any serious depth. They manufacture extremely high quality pieces of equipment and glass. This move is gonna be good for consumers.
It is about cameras aimed at filming. Nikon is just photography. Canon does cinema and so does Sony.
you should know that Nikon's newest cameras come with quite capable video features. But I was referring to the general comment that Nikon might degrade the quality of RED cameras which is preposterous @@life.with.sabine

Here for team David. Count me in for #notiktok4life
I like David don't have a TikTok for the same reason, and as he said, shorts and reels still consumes me a lot, but for what I have heard about the algorithm of TikTok it's just better. So after a few minutes the reels or shorts that continue to show, they get so random and that keeps me from staying hours watching them
Andrew's "I don't know" actually had me guffaw out loud. Something about your inflection on that sent me at 21:40
God. Yes. I LOVE that Andrew is bringing in some super high end keyboards.
Just wanna say I love the keyboard talks so please keep talking about them Andrew!
I also didn’t know about holding to pause a reel 😂 you’re not alone haha
The no-flip rule isn’t intended to stop people selling their product for a profit. It’s intended to stop people buying the product for the sole purpose of selling it for a profit. The people most upset by this rule are not true customers, but opportunists.
My brother and I bond over his love of sneakers and my love of keyboards so spot on comparison 😂
As colorist. Red one or arri is all the same. What makes arri constantly winning Oscar for cinematography is reliability. Red one is famous for shutting down and software issues. Red one is amazing at slow mo, it has nothing to do with grading. Hence why music videos and music that use lots of slow mo tend to go with red one. Red one also tend to go towards digital look rather than filmic. Also lots of cinematographer are going back to film. Red one history has always been amazing at marketing and resolution. Arri history is very closely related to lots of film roots. Their rental house is everywhere and most camera operators is arri trained. Both camera are excellent, but nothing beats reliability of arri or panavision.
Nikon needs to send yal a Z8/9. Id wouldn’t be shocked if you dropped the R5 and canons wobbly ibis and overheating in the bin 🚮. Those Z cameras are better in almost every way.
About the counter-intuitive "compressed raw": compression need not be lossy. It's often the case that we think we're losing information when compressing but this isn't always the case (take PNG images for instance). So if it's compressed raw, they're most likely using a lossless compression algorithm that is hopefully optimised for video. It's not really about "removing frequencies of light that our eyes can't even see". The compression here is most likely not discarding any data at all. The whole point of raw is to have that data precision that your eye doesn't even notice so that you can edit it freely *before* encoding it yourself (degrading it), avoiding artefacts and increasing editing possibilities.
55:56 yeah, exactly! I remember the PS5/Series X days! Damn it!
I think the reason why Spotify having music videos (similar to Apple Music) is sometimes artists release music videos with a different mix from the original release (that's why labels usually release a separate lyric video for the original mix of the song). This is just my guess though.
2:48 Props to the editor for this brilliant and hillarious typing audio moment while Ellis is having his moment. Cracked me up!😂
Hey Andrew, I'm loving que quick keyboard segments on the podcast! Watched the VOD on LMNO and its awesome when you get impressions on the team about keebs :) Keep it up!
Thank you! Trying to not over-do it, but sometimes something is just really interesting
Nikon is a very, very capable optics company. Frankly I wish Nikon would produce a dedicated camera in partnership with Apple that is much better than an iPhone camera that in my opinion, lacks capable optics. I’ve always liked Nikon optics, but Apple has very good easy to use software that Nikon never had. I haven’t seen anything like this on the market.
Nikon makes most of their own glass, except on low end lenses they license and contract out. The same applies to Minolta and Pentax. Canon, unique among top drawer Japanese lens makers, does not make any of their own glass.
Lossless compressed raw is basically a variation of a zip archive format, tailored to the structure of sensor data.
13:36 it’s like when you go to the grocery store and they don’t charge you for an item. You notice but figure, I won’t say anything if they don’t.
What's hilarious is years ago I thought of the exact opposite of what Tesla is doing where they basically say after you have had the car for about a year, they offer you to sign a contract where you can get a massive discount on your next car if you agree to buy from them.
Could even opted into a small payment program see where you're slowly paying for your next vehicle years possibly even a decade before you buy another which would give you a massive discount on the actual vehicle in addition to whatever you paid for it in monthly payments.
Man, Marques!!
You know what, I am going to write a special blog on my substack for you, just to clear the clouds of confusion around GHGs, radiations, and Ozone.
Watch this space team...
Wow, really!?
Here's a hot take! sell me the truck at the sticker price that was advertised 4 years ago and I won't sell the truck! but if you jack up the price especially with the foundation series also being jacked up $20,000 above that, so that's a 40k increase don't get mad at me for trying to sell the truck, then take that extra money and then buy another cyber truck later when the price is more reasonable!
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog
You can just tell that that keyboard at the beginning was like 100 pounds by how he was holding it 😂
The bodega thing: both are true. One near me was bought by someone, who discovered the previous owners had stiffed every distributor in the state, so no one would do business with them. They would go to Sam’s Club or Costco for inventory. For about a year they simply didn’t have name-brand soda.
Unfortunately, for Japan, Canon and Nikon are not producing any high-end wafer steppers anymore, only ASML.
Here's my take on the flipping thing (which nobody asked for): while I hate flipping it shouldn't be "banned" by the company or whoever else, It's MY property I do what I want, If I want to try to sell it for double the price, I should be able too, it's up to the people to not be stupid and don't buy it
You guys always speak my languange, like listening to people who know exactly what I wanna hear about, thanks guys!
Bodega's definitely have... varied supply chains. I'm sure mine gets a lot from distributers, but they also sell Kirkland paper towels.
If people flip them then the people who really want them - they can't because resellers want to make some quick money. Tesla is doing the right thing.
For testing a keyboard, this sentence has every letter in it.
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog."
Still waiting for the typing speed competition on Apple Vision Pro
The shareholders are part owners of Tesla. It is different than being ‘a fan’ and buying merch. But when you buy a stock in a company, you are literally buying a share of the company, you co-own the company, most likely a very very small percentage, but you do co-own the company.
While "dealership markups" are a problem, the worst part is when the same dealership buys it, register it and then automatically sell it "used" with 300 miles with insane markup...
Nikon buying red is a move straight from succession, especially with the context of the lawsuits between the 2 brands
It is Nikon. Not Naikon
RED being the lotus of cameras is SO accurate
6:04 a bunch of spaces like this exist but aren't as well known. I'm sure there is a sewing machine space or a pen space. If chalk boards were still so widely used, there would probably be a chalk space (assuming there isn't one).
Now that we've spoken about flipping cars, lets talk about the general woes of the housing market!
1:14:13 If ep.116 was your 1st, ep. 215 was your 100th.
Buy the cyber truck under a single asset LLC, and sell that LLC to someone. The vin doesn't change hands, only the entity does. Boom - loop hole. Still need a way to list it, so it doesn't solve the entire issue. And your Tesla account needs to be a separate account for the LLC only.
1:01:04 isn't there already an app for this. VSCO?
So what happens to the dealership that was selling cyber trucks for 130% mark-up? One NFL player was going to buy one but was advised against it. Also I might not like flipping but if I paid for something I have a huge issue with someone still effectively owning what I'm able to do with it. If another person wants to pay a higher price it's their problem.
The problem is that there are limit amount of products a company is able to make in a year. If you want the freedom to be able to sell the thing you buy then congratulations you are now never buying that item because 100,000 opportunist flippers just signed up to buy the product before you by using bots.
By restricting people from resale you are making sure that the person buying the product is actually using the product.
Its the same reason why we have a housing problem. All of these houses are being bought up by companies and not being lived in, just so they can make money reselling the property in the future. We desperately need laws that force the owners of properties to actually use that property.
A bodega sounds like what we'd call a convenience store here. It's open at inhospitable hours but you'll pay more for stuff for the convenience of being able to buy stuff when other shops are closed
FYI: You can sell an LLC that owns a cyber truck this avoid the legal ownership situation with the CYBERTRUCK purchase clause.
BTW the first CYBERTRUCK sold on any auction site ever sold on Manheim for 244k and listed online(Porsche Dealer) for $290k
1. Tesla does have dealerships 2. the 'dealerships' you're talking about when referring to mark ups are franchises.
I listen to like 6 different podcasts every week and this is by far my favorite!
What are the other 5?
These clauses might also be there to control the news around their car/truck. Kinda curious to know if the first deliveries were first come first serve or carefully curated buyers. Assuming that any problems, safety concerns, pending tests can be addressed silently if you have buyers under some type of contract.
Isn't a propulsion system along the lines of tank tracks, wheels, screws, and so on? The engine is what generates the power to drive the propulsion system. Or am I mistaken?
35:09 Cyber Truck: How between banning resell to 2024 recall for speed pedal getting stuck?
