In 2017, Nikon released what is widely regarded as one of the greatest DSLR cameras ever created: the D850. With the arrival of the Z 7II, has Nikon finally caught up with itself and produced a mirrorless camera that matches its mirrored predecessor? Check out this video to find out.
With the new Z 6II and Z 7II cameras, it feels that Nikon has matured its mirrorless full frame technology with the arrival of a second card slots and improved autofocus making them more viable options for professionals (assuming you can get hold of one). Nikon’s relationship with the DSLR remains something of a mystery, however; at the end of November we were reporting rumors that Nikon was planning as many as two more DSLR cameras, one of which would be an update to the D850. This would allow Nikon to squeeze a bit more juice out of its existing technology and cater to its many customers who are not ready to jump to mirrorless.
Whether these rumors prove correct remain to be seen as Nikon recently confirmed that it was discontinuing its two entry-level DSLR cameras: the D3500 and D5600. In addition, one of its executives told Japanese website ToyoKeizai.net that Nikon will now “concentrate on mirrorless cameras.”
Is the Z 7II the obvious upgrade from the D850? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Well, considering that 90% of the posts here are just repackaged videos...
Was once a nice *photography* site, now it's just a spam-spray and pray for views and the occasional "tutorials" plug (which, again, are basically just some videos).
Instead of providing an alternative to low quality PetaPixels, they try to copy it. The passion is gone, just a race to the bottom; like a tabloid for the photo (tech) scene, a lot of bland authors that generate non-content, just page fillers.
No need to be so depressing! Videos are a great way for photography related news and education. The modern way to blog. Fstoppers make great videos, but they also do well by collecting interesting videos regarding photography. Saves time for me and makes the site the go-to website for photography news. Or would you rather stay in the dark and not know about these videos? My view is that you can choose what you read or watch. Just skip them if you don´t find them interesting.
Totally agree. A perfect stop off point that usually has reviews articles and video content that you may never discover in your usual browsing. I've found quite a few new useful resources from Fstoppers. So no issue with me.
Fstoppers publishes 3-4 original articles per day, many of which are in excess of 1,000 words, and some of which have accompanying videos. To my knowledge, no other photography website does the same.
The homepage shows which articles are videos through the use of the video symbol. You can simply avoid these articles if they're not of interest to you. 😊
Agree with the kudos above. They also have uber hot models. That inspirational week long beach/bikini shoot on the island a few years ago, even the make up girl was gorgeous.
Ah, more Robinhood “reporting” from Fstoppers, by doing a 4th grade “book report”on what happened on the Flintstones last night. 🙄
The “video” is simply a commercial for KEH, where the Northrups attempt to convince the viewers they need to sell any camera with an optical viewfinder.
As a D850 owner, I fail to understand how looking through the electronic viewfinder at an 8-bit jpeg image, which can’t display all of the tonality of my composition is “better”, than looking through an optical viewfinder at the actual image. I also own an XT4, and have rented the latest offerings from Sony and Canon. After all of that, I’m sticking with the D850. It’s simply a more flexible camera.
The D850 is my main camera for most subjects. It took only a week for me using the Z6 to understand why mirrorless is the future. As fantastic as the D850 is I can’t wait to get my hands on the next mirrorless model.
Hi Richard. That's an odd take on my 200 words which introduced the video and then mentioned two related topics — the rumours of two more high-end DSLRs and the discontinuation of two entry-level DSLRS — neither of which covered at all in the video.
Care to post any images to your profile that are taken with all these cameras?
