Nikon Z6 10bit output

And Nikon-Log [N-LOG]...it's new! (if that's what it's really called)

(vs. their "FLAT" profile)

Pretty interesting more companies are getting into 10bit.

I am more interested in Fuji at this point but its still cool.
 
I wonder if one can have unlimited clip length when recording to Ninja recorder….?
30min default for internal shooting is disappointing.
 
If you have battery solution then it is unlimited for external recording until you run out of juice.
Now just wait Sony to fail the a7sIII with no 4k/60 and 10bit :(
 
Good to see - and hopefully starts to push a lot more companies to at least include 10-bit output across the board, if not internally.
 
The mountain biking video has really nice skin tones and color in general for 8 bit. The auto focus works nice. I was going to get the Black Magic pocket 4K but I am tempted to get the Nikon z6 which cheaper than the z7 and most likely will be better for video.

Definitely if you need a hybrid camera. Though I might wait until the next generation.
 
I'm supposed to review the Z6 (video part).
Nice image, colours and skin tones. Lots of nice thing for sure. But I'm baffled with the very apparent warping that show up every now and then. I'm not even sure it happens only with VR switched on. To me, one big single reason I can't even think about using this camera for payed work, other then for locked shots on sturdy tripod.
Then I search other reviews and nobody mention it. Nobody mention the pretty annoying and prominent lag on evf and lcd either.
Am I the only profesional looking into this camera, or Nikon gave us a faulty unit?

Are you referring to rolling shutter skew in video mode Alvise?

Not a rolling shutter issue. Reviewing some footage now, It looks like It happens when the internal stabiliser is ON. And It is very apparent mostly at 24mm (I have a 24-70 f4, I suppose it is the kit lens).
Kind of a 80s "little earthquake/hallucination" cheap effect. Wobbling distortion at the sides of the frame. Sorry I don't have time now to post some clips.
Maybe it's an issue of the very one camera I have here to test. But if it's not, internal stabilizer is only for amateurs

(I see now "auto distortion control" setting in the menu is greyed out, because with this lens it is ON automatically. Maybe there's a link with the bad behaviour I'm seeing)
