    At this point I’m not that interested in the cameras I just find Kai’s voice therapeutic.
  • I think DSLR's deserve a space in the future. Fujifilm has done great things with their hybrid viewfinders but I think there's something special about a DSLR optical viewfinder
  • @shutterbug1076
    I am sticking with DSLRs for a while. They just feel better to me.
  • @MrPiffSmiff
    Live view tracking implementation has been greatly improved on Z6 with FW 3.00
  • @JdarceyMCR
    Come on Nikon! All we really want is the Df2
  • @user-yv2cz8oj1k
    Mirrorless eat batteries as they have to run sensor constantly for the evf or screen, whereas a DSLR will just let the light through to the view finder with lots of the camera switched off. Until they solve that issue properly the DSLR is here to stay.

    Just received my D780 and I’m loving it right now! Great video, keep them coming.

    Kai, you make my day. I would love to hang out with you one day. Thank you for all you do brother! I appreciate you and the knowledge you imbue. Always love watching your videos. If you and Lok ever in my neck of the woods then lets hang and nerd out my bro.

    The D750 wasn’t bad...sure there were some recalls but as a whole, not bad...if this body can live up to its predecessor then ok...I just don’t like that price point:-(
  • @fiddlegrass
    Awesome review! Mirrorless is impressive, but I think DSLRs will still hang around for a few years.
  • @OxKing
    1:39 Those are the Masterlock Street Cuffs bicycle locks. I'll guess the owner gotten problems with the locking cylinder, that thing is a diva and known to get stuck and stay locked even if you got the key.

    "Tech twaddle for posh plastic" is the best description of poly-carbonite that I've ever heard. brilliant.
  • @ekkwok
    Thanks Kai for exactly the review I was looking for. I'm a D750 user but bought Z6 instead of D780. Main decision is going forward I will be collecting Z mount lenses rather than F mount.
  • @aniketwagle
    Being Old School, I still prefer Optical Viewfinder Vs. Electronic ones. The feel is important. Again the Mirrorless Cameras feel like Toys.
  • I feel like I’m back in high school before my first camera and Kai is talking about a Nikon 7xx series. This was how I spent my youth about cameras
  • @kyokuten
    Excellent review, as enjoyable to watch as those of the golden times at DRTV
  • @Macjohn1419
    I finally settled on the D780 after years of looking for an upgrade to my D7100. This camera hit the mark with me for a full frame upgrade from the APS-C world. I love it and am looking forward to the Spring and Summer season enjoying photography, again.

    Firmware 3 has really improved the Z6 tracking to where it really can be made to behave like 3D tracking if you remap F1 or F2.
