when it comes out soon first up when
Nikon announced firmware 4.0 for the z9
last week there was mention that the Z8
would receive some of the z9 updates via
firmware this feature is available in
both Stills and movie mode and in the
near future you can find it on the Nikon
Z8 but now it looks like Nikon might
have changed their mind
according to Nikon rumors the z9 4.0
intro video once had a mention that auto
capture would be coming to the Z8 soon
but has since been removed Nikon rumors
even said that Nikon removed something
similar from a prior Z8 press release
that said upcoming features will be
added to planned firmware updates
including an auto capture function has
Nikon come to their senses and decided
to differentiate the Z8 from the z9
whereas all of this just a kawinky dink
now personally I'm going to go with it's
a kawinky dink because people buying the
Z8 weren't actually going to buy the z9
anyway now I think Nikon is doing a nice
job of riding the ship and will bring
the z9 feature updates to the Z8
sometime soon but when I don't know next
up Sony Alpha rumors has released a list
of what might be the next four Sony
e-mount cameras with a headline that
says The Empire Strikes Back Star Wars
geek the first camera coming according
to them will be a high-end aps-c camera
rumored to be announced around July 12th
followed by a Sony a7c II in September
or November a high resolution camera
around the same time and finally the a93
anywhere from November to January now
the big question is is Sony out for
rumors getting played once again or are
they actually on to something this time
for one they've been claiming that a
high-end crop sensor camera has been on
the way for two years now so at some
point it's Gotta come true right no now
I guess that the A7 II sort of makes
sense but I think replacing the a74 with
the a75 along with the new AI processor
for better focusing would make even more
sense I don't think we're going to see
an A7 R5 replacement just yet but what
if Sony has a 100 megapixel sensor up
their sleeves that would be Return of
the schwarzworthy I see your Schwartz is
as big as mine and I guess that the a93
is something that kind of makes sense
but not really especially being that
there's already an A1 with higher
megapixels and faster shooting because
I'd much prefer having an a12 over an
a93 any day of the week but we'll go
deeper into this new story as well as
other news stories on the next
froknosphoto raw Talk podcast that comes
out every Friday and finally Nikon lied
to everyone remember the Z lens road map
yeah remember that it showed a 200 to
600 millimeter on it and we thought that
we were getting a 200 to 600 well they
lied you're not getting a 200 to 600.
but what you are getting is a 180 to 600
5.6 to 6.3 so I guess that's kind of
better question mark damn it anyway
that's a pretty good surprise right
phone call oh I wonder who that could be
hello odds Greta turnberg with Nikon PR
how can I help you you were shocked
weren't you don't lie to me Jared tell
you I know you were surprised say it say
it say it fine I I was surprised now now
bye the good news is I got to play with
this lens already in the real world at
the zoo where I got to photograph this
Eagle as well as at the Phillies game
where I got to take these photos now you
can check out my full lens review which
is linked down below the new 180 to 600
measures in at 12.42 inches or 315.5
millimeters long offers internal zooming
you can go from 180 to 600 with a 70
degree turn of the zoom ring weighs in
at 4.72 pounds or 2140 grams has 5.5
stops of compensation it is compatible
with teleconverters though I personally
would rather see you crop for better
quality has nine rounded aperture blades
a 95 millimeter filter thread and clocks
in at only
1699.95 compared to two thousand dollars
for Sony's 200 to 600 so it's going from
five six to six three that big of a deal
in the real world well no not really
it's a third of a stop now who's this
lens for well in my opinion it's a solid
lens for wildlife Shooters who won't or
can't drop sixteen thousand dollars on a
400 or a 600 millimeter lens from Nikon
amateur sports Shooters and honestly
anyone who wants a little bit extra
reach on their Nikon mirrorless cameras
now this lens worked really well on the
z9 which means it will work perfectly
well on the Z8 and reasonably well in
terms of autofocus on the Z5 z62 z72 z30
and any of the other Nikon mirrorless
that I missed like the zfc wow but for
real it's priced really well especially
when you compare it to the two thousand
dollar 200 to 600 for Sony you get quite
a lot of lens with a 180 to 600. so what
are your thoughts on this lens please
let me know down below and there you
have it that's your photo news fix this
time around from LA on the road that was
definitely harder to do than at the
studio but thank you guys very much for
watching Jared polinfrono'sphoto.com
see ya
