Nikon just released the 35 f 1.4 lens for 600 USD. It is very compact, has an (electronic) aperture ring etc. But one thing I find strange, is that yes the f 1.2 primes are gigantic, but their 1.8 primes are very compact and most of their lenses have been created to have very low breathing for video. A lot of Sony lens have very bad focus breathing.

I think you have jumped out front in terms of knowing what is really shaking up the market and you’re not afraid to take that leap. With Nikon buying Red it’s going to be an interesting future… ❤

[victormaxwellchannel]

Love if you could list the accesories on the z6 iii, the 2nd handle the movie part on front on the lense.

[victormaxwellchannel]

I do use Nikon as well, if one day you could explain you set up, peripherals, that would be awesome. Also can you squeeze 8k out of Z6iii in anamorphic cinema (considering if your external monitor supports this mode).

Maybe now Sony won't release slow readout sensors on the lower end the way they did with the A7IV.

[ProjectLabz]

Just bought my z6iii and tamron 28-75mm. Super pumped!

[BBEEKKAY]

So thank you for this video. I shot Nikon DSLRs for photo for over a decade and felt frustrated with the lack of mirrorless or video options. Then when the Z series debuted, the af-d lenses were no longer able to AF, and they had some epic lenses. I felt abandoned and went to Canon and then to Panasonic. It’s like soul searching.

[Ryan-Payne]

So true, buying red is the real ticket here! A clear future eco system once the technology mixes each way. R3D into the Nikons and ibis and autofocus into the Reds. Though, I do think professional Sony shooters have what they need and are good with that and so most of the new uptake will be from new users or users who aren't too deep into the Sony ecosystem. I'd be shocked to see a fx9 user swap over to Nikon at this point.

[jessehavok]

I have heard lots of people talk about the Z mount and how adaptable it is. I have been shooting Nikon since 2010 though.

[facu_eze_peralta]

I have a Nikon D7200 and a Z5 and I love them! The next will be for sure the Z6III, here in Argentina is so expensive but some day I'll get it.

[JeromeMorada]

Thinking of selling my Slow Sony A74, very slow On/Off, very slow writing on Tough cards. Disappointing for hybrid photo & video.

[JustinPorterMedia]

I need this lol. I’m tired of gear but sheesh this is it.

[waveland]

I pick mine up today to start testing in the real world but the Z6III appears to be the Z camera I’ve been waiting for. I’ve had a Z9 and Z glass for stills purposes and then finally they fixed the mode switch and memory banks so it’s become a more steady part of my video work flow, but now Nikon has given us a gimbal-friendly size with basically no compromise. Can’t wait to get started.

[joshkiddfilms]

I own a Z8, but on the video side, I'm not sure I'd really call the Z63 entry level. In a lot of ways, it offers better performance than the Z8, like its readout speed. Suppose to get a Z63 tomorrow. Interested to compare them.

[gearienoxcuses]

I agree with everything you stated to Nikon but will add bring Nikon’s autofocus along with the Z-Mount to future RED Cameras. I would most definitely buy a Komodo with those features.

[Flamamacue]

As far as lenses go, I think Nikon's gift to users with the Z-mount was the flange distance and width of the mount. As a 20-year Nikon user, F-mount sucked so badly in that regard. You couldn't adapt anything to it, and adapting F glass elsewhere was also a terrible experience as everything was full manual. Now with Z (almost) everything adapts to it with electronics as well. I'm perfectly happy adapting cine glass and more video focused lenses

(it's also completely plausible I'm just so traumatised by 20 years of F-mount I'll put up with just about anything)

[ZWadePhoto]

I see you Rockin’ that Plena my dude, 😉. Glorious ain’t it?

[jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

Nikon Z6 III is currently the top no. #1 best seller at B&H photo.

[marqman]

Great Input, I would definitely say if this came out last year i would’ve gotten this over the z8

[BabakMehrafshar]

I must mention that sony just separated the Cinema line and Photography Line up. But I agree with you. I don't like that.
Thank you for the video.
