Nikon D3500 Specs, is it a disappointment?

08/31/2018
Categories:
Although the Z6 and the Z7 have been getting all the press, Nikon has quietly also introduced an updated their D3400 into the D3500 with the following specs:

24.2mp sensor
Updated CMOS and exspeed sensor
5fps burst
11 point AF system
No Touch screen
Deeper Grip
12.9 ounces
1550 shots per charge
Low energy blue-tooth
$500

Looks just like the D3400 with better Ergonomics if you ask me.


Canon Mirrorless Camera launching soon, thoughts?

08/29/2018
Categories:
Nikon's Z6 and Z7 have launched to mixed reviews, especially with the 1 card slot. Canon looks like its about to launch its own like of Mirrorless as early as September 5th. While there are very few leaks, there are a few, one of them being that for video, it will have DPAF, 4k@30, but 1080dp only up to 60fps. This shows me they are still committed to handicapping their cameras to protect their cinema line of products which could be a very bad idea.


Nikon Comitts the same Error with Z6 and Z7 as with the D850 launch

08/28/2018
Categories:
Nikon, only a few days after the announcement of the Z6 and Z7, officially apologized for not being able to produce enough of them to fulfill demand and is already anticipating months of backlogs. This is the same exact problem they had with the D850 and they seemed to not have learned much from that debacle. People were waiting months to get their hands on a D850, so long that it became a common joke to hear people on forums say "I love the D850, too bad Nikon won't sell me one". I believe this will cost them sales as the Z7 and Z6 aren't really better than the Sony A7RIII and A7III and people who don't want to wait 3 months for the camera may jump ship.


Nikon Z6 vs Sony A7III

Categories:
A short video comparing the Nikon Z6 and the Sony A7 III.

Nikon has better Ergonomics
Sony has more AF points
Sony has more native lenses
Nikon has a native adapter as opposed to 3rd part adapters
Sony has Eye AF
Sony has proven Video AF, although the Nikon one looks pretty good
Sony has 2 card slots(SD) vs 1 slot(XQD) for Nikon
Nikon has a built-in interval meter and creative shooting options.

Which one is better you?


Nikon Z-Mount Cameras and Lenses Unveiled, thoughts?

08/23/2018
Categories:
Nikon has finally unveiled its Z-mount Cameras and Lenses and there is a lot to unpack. It has revealed a total of two cameras, 3 lenses(plus one in production), and one adapter(for its F-mount). The Cameras will be called the Z7 and Z6, and will be Nikon's mirrorless equivalents to the D850 and the D750. Nikon is launching the Cameras with the 24-70 f/4 lens, the 35mm F/1.8 lens and the 50mm f/1.8 with the 58mm F/.95 in development. The Cameras will cost $3400 and $1996 respectively and will compete against the Sony A7RIII and the A7III head to head. The cameras have 5-axis stabilization, 2- creative picture options(yes, it has an interval meter), and built in wi-fi and both will come with the exspeed 6 processor image processor. The Z7 with be a 45.7MP camera with 493 AF points that cover 90% of the viewfinder area with ISO 64-25,600 natively while the Z6 will be 24.5 mp with ISO 100-51200 ISO with 273 AF points and can shoot at 12fps. Both cameras with have a large grip and a large EvF with .8x magnification. Can't wait to try these out.


Yongnou unveils 50mm 1.4 AF lens for Nikon F-Mount

08/21/2018
Categories:
Yongnou has unveiled a 50mm f/1.4 autofocus lens. The recent releases of third-party lenses for the F-mount says to me the that the native adapters will work with third party lenses since Nikon is going to start migrating from F-Mount to Z-Mount. The lens itself hopefully will be around $200 as Yongnou's 50mm 1.8 is about a third of the price of Nikon 50mm f/1.8 and gives excellent image quality. Yongnou is known for its excellent quality and low prices in terms of lenses.


Samyang(Rokinon) Launches first AF Lens for Nikon F mount

08/20/2018
Categories:
Samyang has launched its first AF lens for Nikon's F mount. Samyung is known for their top notch Manual focus glass but only has 8 AF lenses. The lens in question is the 14mm F/2.8. I happen to have the manual version of the lens and it is excellent. Since Nikon is launching its Z-mount this Thursday, its strange that they would start the F-mount AF now.


Sony overtakes Canon as #1 in Full-frame Camera sales in US

08/15/2018
Categories:
Sony has announced that it has overtaken Canon as the #1 seller of full-frame interchangable lens cameras in the United States thanks to its A7RIII and A7III Cameras. This shows the market clearly moving away from DSLRs and into Mirrorless in the future. Canon and Nikon are both set to introduce their own mirrorless cameras soon to challenge Sony, but if they are both changing mounts, they have a lot of catching up to do in terms of the glass available.


Nikon Focusing on High-End Primes for their Z-mount first, good strategy?

08/14/2018
Categories:
Nikon's Z-Mount Cameras are being announced on the 23rd of August along with 3 lenses. One of them will be the standard 24-70mm f/4 kit lens but the other two are fast primes. Nikon has also planned an f/.9 52mm lens for their new mount. I personally think its a better strategy to focus on commonly used zooms such as 24-20, 18-35, 70-200, and 70-300 rather than these ultra-fast prime lenses because more people use the common zooms and they should be the core of most photographer's kits. Focusing on consumer and pro-sumer lenses helps you grab the market for common people, which is most of the market if you looks at units of Cameras sold.


Nikon Mirrorless Back Button Layout

08/13/2018
Categories:
Nikon Rumors have just published a picture of what the back button layout of Nikon's new Mirrorless Camera will look like. I have to say, I'm a little disappointed that they moved the column of buttons on the left to other spaces because I found those button positions to be extremely easy to use.
