Here is an actual hands-on report from somebody who actually handled the Nikon Z mirrorless cameras last week in a closed-door event in Asia:

  • The Nikon Z6/Z7 have many similarities to the Sony's 7 series
  • The new Z-mount is almost as large as medium format mount for some 6x6 SLR cameras
  • Handling and ergonomics are perfect
  • The Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7 have exactly the same body and use the same battery
  • The EVF is fixed
  • There are no scene modes
  • There is a green AUTO mode as well as PSAM and 3 user settings
  • Both 24-70 f/4 and 50 f/1.8 lenses have a very fast AF, on the test images there were some signs of vignetting when shooting wide open
Anf now a word about the last Nikon mirrorless camera teaser - some readers were disappointed, but we actually got confirmations for two major rumors I have already reported: the new Noct lens and the Z-Nikkor 24-70mm f/4 kit lens. Keep in mind that when the teaser videos were produced, Nikon did not know that some of the details will leak online. The return of the Noct is a BIG deal (at least for me).

I have to ask something that's been on my mind lately. Why TF are photographers so territorial. I shoot for a lot of trap artist here in Atlanta and Dallas. When I shoot concerts it never fails. I'll be there shooting and some other random nikka with a rebel will show up and see me and his face will ball up. I usually introduce myself just to chop it up with other photographers just to let em know there's enough money out here for everyone to eat. But damn these dudes will look at you sideways, try to distract you from taking pictures with dumb shyt, and just act like hoes overall. No need to be acting all insecure. Just take your pictures and video and keep it moving

for every cool nikka, there's a snake nikka. People do little snake shyt in photography all the time. And photography can be a place where you can put in work and build up your networks and connects and it's real easy for people to just piggy back off your networking.

Anyone need a canon sl2 with the 18-55 lens? I want to trade it for a older 5d mark ii if anyone got one. I just need a back up full frame that I can trash without worrying about my newer 5d and sony
