Compared to lower grade models within the R lineup though, the R7 feels quite sturdy and rugged.

If nothing else it's been crazy useful for testing lenses on the spot to make sure they're not crazy out of tune. Dial in the exposure, swing it all the way to wide open, fast shutter, take a picture. Swing it over to long shutter, small aperture, take another picture. Maybe another in between? five minutes later I know if the lens is good mechanically.

Hi PetaPixel, thank you for the podcast. Much appreciated for the information and entertainment. Not sure where to send my questions. These questions are probably for Chris since A7RV is Chris' favorite camera based on my understanding... Q1. How do you switch the tracking focus between different subjects in a wide or zone focus area? My current solution is to switch the focus area to "tracking spot focus area" and use the joystick when using the view finder or use the touchscreen on LCD panel, but i still prefer to press a button to toggle between different subject i want to focus on in a wide or zone focus area mode... Q2. Does using (S)mall lossless compressed file (18megapixel) give you better low light capability than (L)arge or (M)edium file? Thanks in advance. Look forward to your answers.

I ended up getting the Leica SL3 (lighter than Z8) and love the 60mp and a couple of lenses. However, if they come out with a 47MP Z7iii (don't need 60MP but that would be nice), and keep the same size of the Z6iii, same two way tilt and good AF, I'd seriously consider grabbing one again and put some extra money in my pocket. I can't see them having one before 2026 though.

I think a Z7iii with the higher resolution EVF, no stacked sensor (same sensor as Z7ii is fine), and Expeed 7 processor for more modern autofocus would be fine. They probably wouldn’t need to update after that. It can be marketed as a lighter camera for people who hike and do landscape photography, but who want the higher megapixels. It would work better than the Z7ii for occasional wildlife, and as a backup body to the Z8.

If you make all the same updates to a Z7II that Nikon just made to the Z6 series (Expeed 7, new AF, increased video / FPS), you get the Z8. Z7III needs to be a high megapixel body to compete with Sony A7R series. My head scratcher is if Nikon was just going to kill off the 7 series, why didn’t they just call the Z8 a Z7III, and reserve the 8 series for whatever in the future?

In terms of dancing photography: Which kind of dance? To me, it sounds more like an argentine tango salon than like a lindy hop or typical social dance venue. If it's the first, dim lights are a must and bright lights a no-go. And it very much depends on how close you can get to the dancers, are you going for full body or faces - it's one of those question too much variables remain unknown and therefore the answer will also come out blurry. But I've only 20 years of experience in this situations, so what do I know 🤔? Generally speaking: the less you disturb the dancers and the more you share your pictures, the easier you get better ones.

1:06:20 My tip would be to crank ISO and shoot B&W - at least some of the time. B&W is much more forgiving than colour for noise, as ugly chroma noise ceases to be a factor. Also helps mitigate the effects of mixed colours of lighting. Obvs not always the best, as you may want to capture the colours of outfits etc, but a mixture of B&W high SS/ISO shots to freeze action, with some lower SS/ISO colour shots to capture colour and atmosphere, could be a good shout.

I bought original Z7 and if they could improve the AF enough to do bird photography, then it would be pretty good because of its small size. I currently use a Z9 and it's amazing, but it's big and heavy and it's definitely not a camera you casually take with you in case you want to take photos (Z8 either)! The only thing I'd change on the Z9 would be a firmware update to allow pre-capture in raw. My current 'wish list' is the Panasonic S9 with a micro 4/3rds sensor and lens mount.

I don't believe a Z7 iii is coming until they have something to differentiate, all the reasons in the video. I love they take into account that it's an opportunity cost in terms of production lines and R&D. They should wait for the next high-resolution sensor, then it could make sense for landscapes. In the USA is even more radical, because a new Z8 is running about $3500, not 4K. Where are they going to squeeze the Z7 iii? On the other hand if Nikon wants to go crazy the diamerter of the Z mount is 55mm exacty the diagonal of a small medium format sensor. That will be a disrupting camera. The problem is AF Nikon needs fast readout to properly AF, so maybe in 3 years.

For Jaron; a very good way to cut down on film costs is with DIY what you can. I shoot bulk (100 foot) rolls of Kentmere 100 and 400 that are available on BHPhoto for around $60 each with a $50 film loader (cheaper ones are definitely available), and last around 16-20 36 exposure rolls per 100 foot bulk roll. You just roll them into plastic reusable cassettes that are also on BH for about a dollar each, and send them to a developer when you're done. Developing black and white at home also isn't expensive, a full suite of Ilford chemicals and a developing tank will run you about $100-150. Since I scan everything, I can easily correct sharpness issues or low contrast of the Kentmere. Hope this encourages you to use the Nikons some more; I have an F and an FTn and they are wonderful cameras, the Leicas of Japan.

Now that Nikon has dropped the 35mm F/1.4 dubbed optimised for video, it's highly likely Nikon is testing the water for users' response to the optimisation and Z6iii combination. It would be interesting to see Nikon not leveraging the video capabilities on the next camera. I believe the next camera will expand on the hybrid frontier and more likely APS-C. I expect to see a lot more video-optimised lenses for Nikon as well. I think @Jordon should try the 35mm f/1.4 on the Z6iii and do a video review. I personally am looking forward to doing video with Nikon. I have the Z6ii and 24-120mm f/4 as my primary video lens. The Z6iii is a good value proposition, and I will most likely get it going forward.

I can't quite understand what did please Jordan so much in Z6 III so that he could switch. Was it EVF and readout speed? He basically said "add video lenses with focus clutch, open gate, shutter angle, and a bunch of other stuff that Panasonic already had for years or added recently". I also remember how he praised GH7 saying that sensor size matters less than videographer's quality of life featureset such model offers. What does Z6III do SO MUCH better than Lumix lineup (especially since we can be sure that nest FF video-oriented model will get all the novelties from GH7)? Also can you finally make the great APS-C shootout without Z50 II?

Speaking of a possible Z50 successor, I would be curious if Nikon has any plans to launch a D500 successor (possibly a Z80). The mid/high-end APS-C mirrorless market has basically only been occupied by the EOS R7 in my opinion, since the Fuji bodies aren't as competitive with AF and lenses and the A6700 is more mid-range in terms of features. If an R7 II is coming sometime soon-ish, I think a Z80 of sorts would be a killer deal for sports/wildlife shooters at anywhere around $3000 US (25% less than the Z8), and it would represent the rebirth of the D500/200-500mm combo given the popularity of the Z 180-600mm. I just hope they'd give it something other than that poor old 20.9MP sensor!

For general image quality, 60mp == 45mp We really need to stop pretending that the difference is discernible by anyone besides T&C pixel peeping. I'll say it: "Oh, Jordan, you're crazy, they shouldn't do that." Nikon does not need a Z7III because it does not need to be all things to all photographers. And there are very few photographers who want anything suggested for a Z7III, rather than a Z6III or Z8. It's confusing because those few are also noisy on social media. The Z8 has been rebated to $3500 recently, eliminating the $3300 price point. Unlike Sony, Nikon has made their cameras above $1800 well differentiated: Zf, Z6III, Z8, Z9. The next Nikon cameras: Z5II, Z70/Z80, and Z50II. The Z9II: wait until the Expeed8 processor which adds optimization for REDCODE Raw. And, perhaps dual video recording to the CFX-B cards. Instead of a Z6S, it should be a Z6R.

I would love a z7III with a flip down screen and 60 mega pixel. The Z8 is to big for Travel

As a Z7ii shooter for 4 years, the Z8 is too damm heavy for landscapers. The new Z6iii is now in a bigger heavier body so that is no too. What about AZ7iii in a rangefinder style camera. As a lady who does landscape photography I don't want big and heavy. That is one of the reasons I tend to shoot more primes. I also own the ZF. After 18 months since release there are no stubby S line primes with appature rings. At the moment I am stuck with 2 plastic primes 28 & 40mm. The move to Sony is around the corner. I am sure I am not the only Nikon Z7ii- ZF shooter who feels like this. The other thing that has always got up my nose is there will never be a 70-200 F4. Instead we got a 70-180.

A 60mp nikon is what I've been waiting for since I sold my z7ii a couple of years ago. I really hope that nikon make it. Also want it with high dynamic range. Not interested in speed but I want it to have very good auto focus. I was hoping that the z8 would been this, I was disappointed.

For dancing, Can you put lights in the corners of the rooms? I'm assuming that lights disturbing them could be on camera flash, apologies if you mean any lights. I've lit wedding parties by putting 4 heads in each corner of a room, up fairly high, then turned them on and off as I move around the room so the flash is behind the people I'm shooting. Given your system and fast lens you shouldn't need too much power so it might not be too disturbing depending on the size of the space.

I've also wondered why there aren't any professional 28mm lenses, i really dislike 35mm and i love my 24mm but i often wish it was just a bit tighter. 28 mm would really be a nice middle ground

A Z7 III with combination tilt/flip rear screen would be a good idea. Both Sony and Panasonic are using this type of rear screen on limited models as well as Fuji. I also wish OM would make one I would upgrade just for this feature. Tilt screen are better for say close ups of bugs in tight bushy situations for odd angles as well as other types of photography

Hi guys, I love the channel. Here is a question - do you have any idea who is the manufacturer of the Z6III's sensor? Nikon were using their own sensors, then transitioned to Sony sensors. But this new chip has been announced as partially stacked technology for the first time, so are Nikon again making their own sensors? Or is it a customised Sony chip? I might have missed this information.

Ad Pentax 17.. all three remaining operators in Ricoh are working 24/7 :D But this repeats. They are not building on stock before release. They did this last time with K-5 which was very successful camera. All other cameras introduced later had initial problematic rush which leveled after few months. Like when they introduced K1 and it was impossible to get it during first 3-4 months and then they were everywhere. My first K20D was different story. According to camera data my K20D was manufactured TWO MONTHS before that camera was even introduced. But those were old times when Pentax easily sold tons of cameras every year.

I don't want the mechanical shutter, but everything else about that Z7 III would float my boat. I do a lot of low light documentation work. For me, I NEED the high res sensor, I NEED full frame, and I NEED low light capability with modest video capabilities (4K but no recording time limits). The Z6 III image quality does not cut it for me at all. And the Z8 is expensive and has capabilities I don't need and don't want to pay for. I don't need the fast burst rates. I need a Z7 II but with slightly better video capabilities. I love everything about the Zf but the sensor resolution is too low. If the Zf had a higher res sensor, I would be "take my money!!!"

For the person shooting dance in a dim room. I do that a lot and also have zero control over lighting, and often have to shoot at f2.8 due to zooming. Crank that ISO up, honestly 3200 or 4000 is okay, at least for me. The second thing is Adobe's AI De-noise. It works wonders and it really makes that high ISO noise basically go away. And like the guys said, burst a lot, shoot in RAW obviously. You will still have a lot of blurry shots to throw away but you'll also end up with a lot more keepers possibly if you use Adobe's AI de-noise.

The Z7III exists. The secret order code is Z8. I'd expect a Z8C before a similar Z6. The Z9 will likely get Gen 4 cards in the next version. That will allow faster stills but also allow 120 8K and 8K prores raw. Final point describing a niche version of the Z7III doesn't make sense because niche cameras are never cheap. That Z7III would likely end up more expensive than the Z8. Smaller base for the fixed costs. Shorter production run.

I wonder if there are many HiFi enthusiasts, recording their vinyl records on a digital device and then listen tot he digital instead the analog recording. To me, people shooting film only to scan the negatives simply are not getting the full experience. Why aren't you just sticking to digital, Jaron? Nothing wrong with film, if batteries are not available, but else - nothing better as well.

Hey guys, you struggled a bit answering the question of dance photography. I’ll help with this: - A camera with stacked sensor is a must for this environment. You use Sony, A1 or the A9’s are the best choices. The others are not good for these purposes. - Some cameras has variable shutter, make your own test and you’ll figure it out because the frequency of the lighting will not change in these spaces. Same for theaters. - If you don’t have stacked sensor camera, you have the A7 something, use mechanical shutter and don’t use the electronic. - For video, only 24fps, 25 or 30, you have to make your own test to check what works best. Play a bit with the speed as well, the rule is the double of the fps but doesn’t apply for this. Or get a global shutter camera. Have fun

I think a Z7 III makes a lot of sense as a stripped down Z8 near, say, the Z6 III's price point. Take away some of the more insane video features, maybe even bring back a 30 minute recording limit, give it two SD UHS II cards, give it slower burst, shorter buffer, no high-speed crop shooting. Keep the EVF resolution, and maybe give it a more pedestrian grip for smaller hands. You now have a high-resolution body for every segment of the market!

If Nikon put Z8 internals in a smaller body like z7ii, cut some video features as otherwise it'll overheat, and then market it as the Z8 mini, or Z7 iii, that'd probably work for a lot of people.

The Z9 II should have internal ND-filters. It can probably only be done in a bigger body camera without mechanical shutter. Hopefully still with IBIS like the Burano.

I like the idea of a 60MP Z7 III (like the Leica SL3) with a Fuji-like tilt screen in a Z6 III body. I would buy it (and it would bring me back to Nikon) for $3300 and it is a lot less than the SL3. Thanks Jordan!! FYI - I also like the flippy screen as it allows one to protect the screen while shooting - both have their positives...
