Still playing with DSLRs? Wow how old are u? 100?

The biggest event is for Dji's new products

DJI teases August 23 launch event, new drone in new video

DJI has published a video on its YouTube channel teasing a new product due out August 23, 2018. No specific details are shared, but at the very beginning of the video, we catch a glimpse of what appears to be an on/off button of a drone.
After the short clip of what looks like the body of a drone, the narrator of the video says:
For more than a decade we've taken the dimension of space to give you the freedom of flight. But did you think we'd stop there? Let us take you beyond the horizon where something incredible awaits. It's about time.​
The video wraps up with a clip that overlays the words 'see the bigger picture.'
DroneDJ says the on-off button we see at the beginning of the video is likely that of the yet-to-be-announced Mavic 2 Drone. Considering the similarities between the device in the teaser clip and the Mavic Pro, it's not much of a stretch to draw that conclusion.
Back in June, DJI sent out an invitation to press outlets teasing an event set for July 18. Three weeks after sending out the invitation, DJI delayed the event, citing issues regarding user experience and customer expectations. We'll have to wait and see if the August event stays on-track or is pushed back once again.

This announcement isn't about DSLRs you twit. It's the intro to Nikon's ground breaking Mirrorless camera. DSLRs are a dying breed. In 10 years time it will all be mirrorless and that will include drone photography.

Nikon’s full-frame mirrorless cameras are finally here, meet the Z7 and Z6
https://assets.fuckwarezone.com/useravatar/86/big/alvinsoon.jpg By Alvin Soon - on 23 Aug 2018, 2:27pm


https://assets.fuckwarezone.com/img/2018/08/nikonZ7_24-70_4_fronttop.jpg
Nikon has announced its brand new full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Z7 and Z6, alongside a new Z-mount adapter and three Z-mount lenses. These new cameras sport Nikon’s FX-format, backside illuminated CMOS sensors, while ditching the DSLR’s mirror box.
The Nikon Z7 is the bigger-specced, more expensive model, while the Z6 is the more affordable alternative. Nikon shooters familiar with their DSLRs will spot commonalities between the Z7 with the D850, and the Z6 with the D750.
The Nikon Z7 shoots at 45.7MP at up to 9fps
https://assets.fuckwarezone.com/img/2018/08/nikonZ7_24-70.jpg
The Z7, for example, has a 45.7MP sensor, with 493 focus points, and sensitivity levels from ISO64 to 25,600. The Z7 can shoot up to 9fps on AF-C but exposure locked on the first frame, and up to 5.5fps with continuous focus and exposure. The Z7 will ship end-September in the US, no word yet on Singapore. The Z7 will cost US$3,999.95 with a 24-70mm f/4 kit lens.
The Nikon Z6 shoots at 24.5MP at up to 12fps
https://assets.fuckwarezone.com/img/2018/08/nikonZ6_24-70_4_fronthigh.jpg
The Z6, on the other hand, will ship in late November. It features a 24.5MP sensor, 273 focus points, and sensitivity from ISO100 to 51,200. The Z6 shoots faster than the Z7, at up to 12fps with exposure locked on the first frame. While the Z7 can only capture oversampled 4K video in Super 35/DX-crop mode, the Z6 can do so at full pixel readout. The Z6 will cost US$2,599.95.
Nikon’s Z-mount system will launch with the aforementioned 24-70mm f/4 kit lens, which will cost US$999.95 on its own. A 35mm f/1.8 prime lens will also be available at launch for US$845.95. A 50mm f/1.8 prime lens has been announced for October, which will cost US$599.95.
Shipping with modern features like hybrid AF and 5-axis image stabilization

The Z cameras also feature built-in 5-axis image stabilization. They use a hybrid AF system, which switches between phase-detection AF and contrast-detection AF. For the first time on a Nikon, you can shoot with 90 percent autofocus coverage of the image area. Nikon says the cameras can focus in low-light down to -4 EV.
The 3.69 million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder has 100 percent frame coverage with 0.8x magnification. There’s a 3.2-inch 2.1 million-dot tilting LCD touchscreen. Both cameras can record 4K video up to 30p or Full-HD up to 120p. The bodies are weather-sealed and include 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.


Compatible with F-mount lenses through an FTZ adapter
https://assets.fuckwarezone.com/img/2018/08/nikonZ6_FTZadapter.jpg
The key news for Nikon users is how the Z cameras are compatible with F-mount lenses with an FTZ adapter. Announced at US$250, the FTZ adapter promises full compatibility with over 90 lenses. It can also provide basic compatibility with over 300 F lenses. ‘Compatibility’ will vary, depending on the lens. Some will support autofocus and auto exposure, while others will require manual handling.
Nikon boasts that the Z mount’s width and flange distance (distance from mount to sensor) are the largest and shortest among today’s mirrorless systems. The company says this allows them to develop a wide range of lenses, including extremely fast ones.
Nikon’s three year roadmap for Z lenses includes a 58mm f/0.95
https://assets.fuckwarezone.com/img/2018/08/nikon_58mmNoct_.jpg
That ties in with another of today’s announcements. Nikon has also revealed a three-year roadmap for Z lenses, with a 58mm f/0.95 ‘Noct’ lens scheduled for next year. The fastest Nikon lens to date has been the Nikkor 50mm f/1.2. Like the 50mm, the 58mm will be manual focus.
https://assets.fuckwarezone.com/img/2018/08/Nikon_Z_Lens_Roadmap.jpg
A quick glance at the roadmap also shows that Nikon plans to fill up the classic 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 sometime next year. There’ll be an 85mm f/1.8 prime for portrait photographers. A 24mm f/1.8 and an even faster 50mm f/1.2 are scheduled for 2020.
Coming in September and November
https://assets.fuckwarezone.com/img/2018/08/nikonZ6_slot_XQD.jpg
Nikon has decided to forge ahead with XQD memory cards for the new Z cameras. Both the Z7 and Z6 only offer a single memory card slot. Nikon has been the only camera manufacturer that’s used XQD memory slots, but this is the first time it’s gone all in on a camera. Even the D500 and D850 shipped with both SD and XQD slots; the D5 came in dual CF or dual XQD variants.
Battery life appears to be par for the course with mirrorless cameras, both the Z6 and Z7 are rated up to 330 shots per charge. An MB-N10 battery pack is currently in development and will be able to hold two additional batteries.
The Nikon Z7 will be available in the US from September 27, while the Nikon Z6 will be available in late November. We’ll update this piece with local prices and availability for Singapore when we have them.

I put my intended purchase of the D850 on hold while waiting for the detailed specifications of the Z7.

I have to say I am very disappointed with a feature which I consider one of the most important and that is battery life. The Z7 can only take about 400 shots per charge which is absolutely pathetic. The Sony can push close to 700 but while being well ahead of Nikon it still isn't anywhere near what I am used to with my current crop of DSLRs.

Nikon announced a battery grip that will boost the figure but if you add that onto a camera that was designed to be compact and light weight then I might as well get a DSLR.

The D850 gets a massive 1900 shots per charge which means a whole day's shooting without running out of juice. With 400 shots 2 spare batteries minimum will have to be added to the kit.

So it's the D850 for me. I'll revisit the nikon mirrorless models when they've succeeded in putting more battery juice into a compact body.

Now, the camera market is about selling the most expensive ones. Even the young treats it like a fashion statement.
The cheaper ones are much less sought-after.
