I received a bunch of Instagram direct
messages from people asking me what do I
think about the new full-frame
mirrorless cameras the Nikon G 6 and the
Nikon g7 people asking me am I going to
buy it so I thought to make this video
to tell you my first impressions about
these new cameras but mainly to discuss
whether this is the right camera for you
welcome to my channel here we talk about
photography and I make videos just like
this one where I share my thoughts about
photography here so if you're here for
the first time it might be a good idea
to subscribe after months of teasing
rumors and speculations last week Nikon
finally announced and launched the new
Nikon G 6 7
these are the first full-frame
mirrorless cameras the Nikon have ever
made and of course we all had a lot of
expectations and when I say we of course
I'm talking about Nikon shooters I don't
think that the Canon guys and the Sony
guys are as excited as we are and the
main reason is that these cameras will
let us use our Nikon lenses through a
new Nikon adapter that when you buy it
with the new camera is going to cost you
only $150 all the following
considerations are only based on the
technical specs of the cameras last
Sunday in New York I had the opportunity
to attend a discussion panel and
actually check the c6 and c7 in person
but I didn't make it if you follow me on
Instagram and you saw my Instagram
stories you might know why but oh well
before talking about if this is the
right camera for you and want to discuss
if this is the right camera for me and
the short answer to this question is no
let me elaborate as you might know I
shoot with a Nikon d810 by the way a
couple of months ago I made a video
about I canceled my Nikon d50 order it
was a controversial video actually the
video was not controversial just the
comments I think I received over 500
dislikes possibly a lot of Nikon d50
owners felt TAC
I was not attacking the camera I was
just discussing my camera decision
strategy anyways if you didn't see it I
suggest you to check it out so you will
understand more about my camera decision
thinking strategy which is basically
leading to the reasons why I'm not going
to buy the Nikon G 6 or C 7
you saw the link right the higher pixel
counts the faster burst the tilting
touchscreen display are not going to
make my photography any better also when
it comes to photography I don't mind to
have a slightly bigger camera with more
controls buttons and wheels which allow
me to access most of the functions
without the need of entering in the main
menu the lighter weight of the z6 and
the z7 once you put the lens adapter on
and you mount an appropriate
professional lens it's not gonna make a
significant weight difference especially
for someone like me as a landscape
photographer as I do most of my
photography using a tripod I am also not
ready yet to give up on my optical
viewfinder and for sure I don't want to
give up on my to card slots which I have
on my Nikon d810 and I do not have on
the Nikon G 6 or C 7
basically what I think is that the Nikon
d810 even if it is 4 years old it is
still too good of a camera and unless
this camera will stop working I'm not
gonna replace it
but now let's talk about you instead
should you buy the Nikon c6 or c7 these
are my thoughts and considerations given
that you do have the budget for it I
think that it really depends on what
camera you are using right now and what
are your photography and videography
goals in my opinion you should consider
to buy the 926 or the seven if two of
these three requirements are met first
you have an old crop sensor camera or
you have no camera at all second you own
a bunch of Nikon lenses third you're
interested in having just one system for
photography and videography so if two of
these three requirements are met in my
opinion you could consider to buy the c6
or c7 then it will come down whether to
go with the c6 or with the c7 and unless
you need to print very very large format
I'd stick with the c6 and save $1400 the
higher resolution sensor and the higher
number of detection points in the outer
full system in my opinion are not worth
a $1,400 the c6 will also give you
better ISO will have a faster continuous
shooting speed and also possibly a
better 4k
video readout I hope this video is not
going to piss off as many people as the
video about the Nikon d50 these are just
my considerations is my opinion I love
to know about your considerations so
please leave me a comment and let me
know what you think are you going to buy
this camera which one of the two I'm
curious to know but if I didn't piss you
off and you found this information
useful well then hit the like button and
maybe share this video thanks for
watching and I will see you in the next
video
