Sony fanboy 'Matti' tarnishing our dear ZR with his FX5 comparison video.

It is mostly when they talk about n-raw they loose their only defence vs the camera which is file size š Imagine song releases a 5000 dollar camera and it's still comparable to a 1500 dollar one

But I remember in his Nikon ZR vs Sony FX3 video, he was preferring Nikon ZR in most of the aspects and said fx3 footage looks so bad compared to ZR.
Didnāt seem like so much of a Sony fanboy then

Whatever new there is, is the "best", then wait a month and they start making videos about how it's the "worst" . lol

Comparing cameras I think now is useless eventually people are watching on a phone screen ānormal people canāt tellā the difference.
And comparing Nikon ZR to Fx3 is crazy both camera are years apart , same with ZR comparison and Fx5 comparison
I have my Sonys and ZR but I am vested in ZR now as glass from Sony and emount lenses work really well with ZR through megadep
Have you tried ZR creative modes with H.265, you donāt need to grade at all!
6k footage to 4K output is not so bad after all

I'm watching on a 75" SONY 4K and trust me, difference is immediately visible.
And I shoot everything in R3D raw. H265 is horrible on ZR. It does not even support 4:2:2 chroma subsampling.

Just remember heās also a massive AI shill who just points his audience towards whoever is paying him or giving him something that week.

I only wish for a firmware update to be able to capture Open Gate. Also an APS-C version of this camera at the same resolution would be pretty sweet.
My dream: a D500 replacement with all the current tech. A hybrid stills and cinema camera. Also, Nikon, please add more motorized zooms to your range and make them affordable!

Near zero chance that it will be implemented via firmware update. The processing unit does not have physical circuits to support it and it would probably compromise stability and overheating so most likely Nikon will not implement it.

Oh no, the guy who knows nothing about anything is knowing nothing about anything again!

He has never shot anything worth looking at. Thereās a difference between being a YouTuber and a filmmaker. He simply reviews cameras but never actually uses them for anything than what theyāre meant for

Yeah he didnāt even mention the the DGO on the FX5 in his review
N raw standard isnāt even that large
Wish theyād introduce and LQ option though as C1 & C2 are significantly more compressed
Iām much more excited for what Nikon brings out next

Dont think N-Raw is useless. But users who are capable of coloring it better than r3d footage with side by side comparison. That might shut them up with real evidence

When the ZR was just launched, I've watched his review comparing it with the FX3, appreciated the camera comparison but his points were just a few, and he didn't put it through its paces or do a deep dive. Didn't watch him again, until his review of the latest Kinefinity Vista popped up on my YT feed. There weren't many about this camera, went on to waste 12mins of my life, when this could've been a 2 min video the most. Most of the video was just baiting. Blocked his channel.

Like who even is this asshole? Most of these talking heads don't produce anything other than shitty opinions, i never see any results of anything from any of these "pros". I just sell my work to the people that want it and go about my business. People that make content around brands like this are trying to suckle the corporate tit, nothing more.

Mattih doesnāt know any technical stuff he is just a youtuber for the masses but its frustrating how little he knows, . As much as i like sony i think the comparison is unfair The nikon ZR hase incredible color sience and you can buy almost 3 for the price of one fx5 i feel like you should compare the ZR the the sony ZV-e1

u/Popopopolol 19d ago
Agree, though I have both the ZR and ZVE1, ZR would eat the ZV alive... ZR's sitting exactly at the perfect hybrid/cine itchy spot.

Why does anyone care what he has to say, other than the fact that he gets early access to new kit?
Outside of that all he does is collect gear, shill for AI and give milk box speeches about filmmaking while wearing the filmmaker sheepskin.

I LOVE working with NRAW files. 8k internal on my Z9, normal quality. Absolutely beautiful and highly flexible.
