I have never seen more honest review than this one, love you totally for that. BECAUSE i am a newbie (i know like million others), this video boosted my confidence on a whole new level. i love your tethering video too, you are a messiah for people like us who are just starting on a very tight budget, i literally felt like you are holding my hand and guiding me through this tons and tons of information that i am just blindly trying to ingest and you just breezed by and assured its all right to start low, you don't need super fancy stuff to show your calibre effectively, just be witty . you are one uber cool lady( you might see this comment in more than one video, because i guess i am like those super clingy toddlers who cling to legs of people they love)

Funny thing, but myself after 13years shooting with Nikon I have bought Canon R5 and moved over and it feels like home. I love the results and it ignite the inner fire to take my camera everywhere with me :) Congratulations on Z7!

Welcome to the Z family from a 2-year Z7 user! You’ll also love the focus stacking function.

This is not only a great lesson in "light n airy", which I will be trying my shots are all too dark. It is also a great lesson in hardware, , both the scrim and how to properly choose a new camera. Not to mention a clever lesson in how to subtlety add value to your channel and social media through references. Fantastic to watch. Sincere and honest, loved it

[redefiningalldiets]

Thanks for creating this video. I like the setup. I'll definitely have to look into a nikon camera in the future.

[danielliwells]

Congrats on the new camera, Joanie! I've always shot with Nikon and love the colors.

[rahulbareja]

Congratulations and welcome to the Nikon Z club! I bought the z6 after a lot of research last year and have fallen in love with it :)

[brianasealy]

So much fun! You are always on my mind in the food isles haha I’m like hmm Joanie would so shoot that or she has shot that! Haha I love it!

[philliperasmus]

Welcome fellow Nikonian! Wise choice. I do own the Z6 and Z7 (having traded in the 750 and D850). Shooting Nikon since 2010, and the ergonomics, menu systems, What can I say!!! Happy shooting and may all of your shots be in focus!

[onegrapefruitlover]

Oh wow, I thought I was the only one struggling with food and the orange and yellows from my Canon camera... That's the main reason I switched over to Fuji and I'm really loving it.

[FreeWillPhotos]

Congratulations on getting your new camera. I moved from Nikon to Canon earlier this year and just purchased the R6, but I love Nikon colors. I hope you enjoy the Z7 though it is a great camera.
