List of Nikon Z9 continuous burst data by format and file size

October 31, 2021

The Nikon Z9 is the best mirrorless camera ever made, there's no doubt about it. The camera is so good, that the usual Nikon-haters are having a meltdown. So they're looking to find any fault to divert attention to that, and there's really not much to find. The latest attempt is the continuous burst in RAW, it is supposedly too small. So one Nikon fan on a forum posted a screen grab from Nikon Japan translated into English that shows all the RAW formats and what are the file sizes. If I had the Z9, I would probably shoot in RAW (high efficiency), because the quality is really close to lossless compressed, but a file is only 33 MB in size, which is outstanding, and you get over 600 shots in a burst. The RAW files on my 36 mpxl D810 are around 45-50 MB in size, so it's really amazing that the Z9 has a 45.7 mpxl sensor, but can offer RAW smaller in size. I'm so excited about Nikon's future. Here is the overview:

  

Nikon Z fc hands on in Taipei

September 12, 2021

 
I just had the pleasure to get my hands on the Nikon Z fc, Nikon's recent mega hit that is also sold out here in Taiwan, and share some of my impressions. First of all, the camera is tiny. It's much smaller than I thought which is a good thing. Secondly, it looks so realistically like a film camera from certain angle, you'd never think it's a digital camera. And that small screen that displays the f-stop is really small, but I like it a lot. The camera is really solidly built, much better than a Fuji in that same segment.
 

List of best ZEISS ZM lenses for the Nikon Z fc

August 29, 2021

The Nikon Z fc is one of the most popular cameras of 2021, and by far more important than the likes of Sony Alpha A1 which delivered some amazing specs, but is way too expensive for your average consumer. The Z fc with its affordable price of around 1000 USD is a camera for everybody, and offers an amazing digital and analog experience. Much better than Fuji, there's no doubt about it. But what is currently missing are some amazing native compact manual lenses that would complement the camera, however there is an alternative available: ZEISS ZM lenses (lenses that are made for Leica M mount). I decided to create a list of best lenses that could be adapted to Nikon Z fc, and I believe they need to be silver in order to complement it.
