I do lots of action sports photography so I wanted to see how possible it would be able to shoot fast action with the new Nikon Zf. In this video I look at shoot 14 frames/second in RAW, 30 frames/second in JPEG and what video shot at 1080/120p looks like when slowed down to give great slow motion.
It was a fun day shooting parkour with my friends in Tokyo, and I hope you enjoyed the video.

This was fantastic and the approach to this review was an amazing concept, to show the product in action, with great examples and explanations!!
Thanks for much!! I had tons of fun doing it so happy to see people also enjoyed the video!
Fantastic idea for the video! Great results and rigorous testing! 👍🏾
Super thanks!! Much much appreciated!!!
Cool stress test on the ZF here. I received mine yesterday and have I do have to say it is a joy to use. Z8 is overkill if you aren't doing professional work imo.
Thanks!! Hope you get some great shots with it!!
Which one has a better image quality? Z8 or the zf?
@@piyhaw I would assume the Z8 is higher up for straight image quality. My friend uses one during our Red Bull shoots and seems to like it.
Maybe but it's nice. They say women need men like a fish needs a bicycle, but some women want men. Same with amateurs and the Z8.
@@piyhaw At what ISO ?
Great Review!!
Cheers!
Awesome video. I've really enjoyed your approach to showing people the Zf. I was curious, what are you using to record your screen? I see the cable going from the camera into the jacket... Just curious!
Thanks! Much appreciated! I’m using this little device: kzhead.info/sun/lqpplLaykIh5i3k/bejne.html

ありがとございます❣️❣️❣️
Nice work and a great test. I think Corky's hair was confusing the autofocus. It kind of has a tree or bush look to it 🤣
Thanks! And ya, that could have been it, hahaha
Great job. Not the camera I will choose for action: very few focus points make it difficult for the camera to peek at the eyes at a distance, slow readout makes the focus tracking jumpy and the cards are the worst for action. If we stay with Nikon the Z8 and the Z9 are the tools for the job. On the other hand, the results speak for themselves showing that for a creative mind, working around limitations can be part of the fun, and one can get the job done.
On paper there are many things that the Zf might be lacking over other cameras, and if it was a professional job for myself I would grab my Z9 for action first. But if you know the camera’s limitations you can still get great action pictures with it. I enjoy working with limitations and still being able to produce cool pictures.
Great shots. Which lens did you use for this shoot?
I was using the 40mm f/2 the 85mm 1.8 and I think I used my f mount 125mm 1.4 as well
I think I will wait for the Z6III.
To each their own. I’ll enjoy my Zf in the meantime.
Firmware 1.10 update available for Zf. Thank me later
Already?? Haha, thanks for the info!
Nikon Z F or wait for z 6 iii? I'm coming from a d7500, and I'm considering this camera, but some others on reddit said wait for the z 6 iii, whenever that releases.
You can’t always wait for the “next and best camera” as there will always be another “next and best camera” on the horizon. If it’s in your price range and you can get one now, I would just get it. I got one for myself this week with that in mind and can’t wait to get out and shoot with it next week. Good luck and good shooting!!
@@jasonhalaykophotography thanks
Z7ii or Zf? I'm more into sports photography but I love the retro look of this Zf!
I haven’t gotten my hands on the Z7ii yet but if you are looking for a main camera, it looks quite nice even for sports. But I do like the look of the Zf and it can get the job done if needed. Good luck!
Do we know the bitrate of the different video mode.
As per the Nikon USA website: H.265/HEVC (8 bit/10 bit) H.264/AVC (8 bit)
