@2:33 Sensor readout speed moaners are similar to single card squealers. Just use a mechanical shutter and forget about it. What’s your problem?

Canon R7 , Adapter, Canon 100mm macro( non is) . Most of my butterly macros out of focus. I use ewf while shooting and I see the target out of focus and always blury. Thanks to the full time manual mode otherwise I would not have sharp images if only use AF mode only.( Camera mode: Single shot, spot metering, Lens AF ON)Any information will higly be welcomed.

I based my speeds on a Petapixel video and a sensor speed chart available online. Several people are disputing the 8ms versus 4 ms speeds saying the R5 Mark II readout speed might be 6.3ms instead of the 8ms that I reported and the Z8/Z9 might be 3.7ms instead of the 4ms I reported. Assuming these new figures are correct, in the time it takes for the R5 Mark II sensor to read out, the Z8/Z9 sensor can read out slightly over 1.7 times. That is still a huge speed advantage for Nikon. Another advantage for me for the Z8 is the 180-600 lens is in my opinion a much better lens than Canon’s 200-800 which if you follow the channel, you’ll know that I have been only moderately happy with it since I got it in December of last year.

Hopefully your recovery is progressing well and you’ve been out of the hospital a few days. Stay well!

As you know, Debbie, I ordered my R5 deuce yesterday. Shying away from the R1. As Shania said, "...that don't impress me much." Get well soon, my friend! PS. Canon's ISO of L (low), does that not equate to an ISO of 50?

Hello Phil, very nice shots, were the panorama shots taken directly from the camera or in post production

Thanks for the informative feedback, Phil. Best wishes on a full speedy recovery!

Thanks for a great review. I have a question regarding step up rings. If I buy the Kase ND set I will need the 112mm set and step up rings for my other lenses. My question is, can I buy a generic step up ring, or do I have to by the Kase step up ring? My thought is, if I buy a generic ring that will make my 77mm lens like a 112mm and the Kase magnetic adapter will fit on that, thus allowing the magnetic ND filters. Would that work? Without them in my hand I don't know for sure, so I am asking. Thank you in advance.

Sorry to hear you had a heart attack. I wish you quick recovery .

Wow dude. Those are some great photos. Neat trip. Cool plane rides too.

Phil get well and back home soon!! Don’t forget to rest and take care of yourself!! 🙏🏻❤️‍🩹😊

Best Wishes for a quick recovery Phil.

How do you afford all these lenses

First, get well soon! Second, the Z8 was release at the end of May 2023, so it has been 2-3 years for that camera/sensor. Canon has disclosed the readout speed exactly, but Tony Northrup has it listed at 1/160th of second or 6.3ms. He also has the Nikon Z8/Z9 at 1/270 of a second or 3.7ms, so it is definitely faster. The original R5, btw, he has listed at 1/60th of a second or 16.7ms so the Mark II isn't just shy of 3x faster readout. What little fast moving photography was available seemed to demonstrate rolling shutter to be very well controlled. We'll probably have to wait for more testing to be done and published to really assess how good/bad it really is. For me, as person with a ton of Canon glass, and years of using Canon under my belt it represents more than a worthy upgrade when you look at all the updates. From my perspective, the Nikon system was a generation behind on autofocus prior to the release of the R5 II and R1. This puts them even further behind. Perhaps some of the gap can be resolved with firmware updates, but Canon put an extra chip (the Accelerator) in to help make the gains so it may require new hardware to make another big leap for Canon. At the end of the day, all the cameras are really good and differentiating them is more and more becoming an exercise of splitting hairs. Again, good luck on a speedy recovery and try not to get too worked up over anything.

Cool captures. Love the shot of the tree and mountains 😊

Photos look great

Seems to me, you did x1.4 macro shots, and then cropped heavily the photo, as there is no way to achieve the depth of field at f9 which that close ups. Nothing wrong, but I am right? I am thinking about this set up too, but I know x1.4 macro is average for such small insects like ants.

Recover soon ❤

Had to chuckle a little. Living out here in the desert Southwest, power poles and power lines drive me crazy. I'll see a great shot, stop and upon closer look see the power lines and poles in my proposed shot. While I can edit them out, I'm not a fan of the extra work. I love the wide open views out here in the desert. Thanks for posting the video. :)

👍

Get well soon! Greetings from Poland!

I’m glad I came across this video. I finally decided to purchase the 200-800. But after the comments the softness I just cancelled the order. Sticking with my ef 100-400mk2 for now.

In your country, you have different "worlds", state Tennessee is already one third of the size of Germany! :-) APSC is very capable!😊

Take care of yourself Phil. Glad you’re chillin with your lady…

I am going to be honest, I thought of Nick the moment you showed that first 3:1 photo. But I REALLY liked that building photo!!! Nice photos and I still think you should print that one😬🤷🏻‍♂️

beautiful shots! I have driven that route back and forth on I-15 half dozen times over the last couple years. There are some beautiful desert compositions along the way. Sadly, I’ve not stopped to capture them.

Hello from Toronto Phil hope you’re keeping well. July 22 2025 is my retirement day and that Mazda is the one I’m getting in a months time. My sister has had that car and loved it, in fact, she’s had three Mazdas so far. I also got back into photography after having to leave it behind about 45 years ago. I just got the Canon R6 mark 2, a 100 to 500 L lens and a 24 to 105 Lens also a retirement gift lol 😂 I,m enjoying the hobby again. Love the channel you have great content.

What camera do you enjoy using the most? Sony 6700 or canon r6 ii

Next time in Vegas. The Valley of Fire and Red Rocks Canyon just outside of Vegas are just stunning places to shoot. Hope your recovery is going well!

Phil I hate to hear about your heart attack. I hope you get better soon. Don’t do like me, listen to your Cardiologist. Thanks for your dedication. A video from your hospital bed. Get well soon.
