finally! my new nikon z8 camera #nikonz8

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally, I've got myself the new Nikon Z8 camera!

Before that, I was thinking of getting the latest Sony Alpha 7RV. I did bulked at having to buy new lenses for it. And, they were pretty expensive. So, when Nikon announced the Z8 with an overall, same specs as the Z9, I was adamant about getting it.

Instead of switching to another eco-system. I stuck with Nikon. I already have several lenses that I bought for my Nikon Zfc. Regrettably, I'm selling off my Zfc and P950. The Nikon Coolpix P950 was my first-ever camera and the start of my love for photography.

You can check out some of the pictures and videos I took with the Nikon P950 and Zfc on my YouTube channel here. I recently went to Hatyai Thailand and got the chance to do street photography with my Zfc. It was a blast and I really enjoyed the holiday. 

You can check the Hatyai Thailand holiday videos on this link.

I think, I took some good photos and I really like some of them. Especially, at the floating flea markets. You can check out some of the photos below:

I'm just an amateur photographer and still learning about photography. Despite that, I decided to upgrade my camera to the most advanced I could afford and that is the Nikon Z8. I took some sample photos and you can check some of them below:

I'm really loving the Nikon Z8. I love learning how to use it and take better photographs and videos. I still prefer taking JPEGs and 4K videos instead of raw. As I'm the lazy and impatient type. Anyway, for the videos, I need to use more advanced editing software.

I'm taking a step-by-step approach to learning how to use the camera and also the editing process. Anyway, I don't think I can edit the 8K vids with my current Mac m1 pro with only 16 GB of RAM. I'll need more storage space too.

I'm not really in a hurry as I have a lifetime to learn and improve my photography and videography. You can watch my growth with the videos and pictures I'll be taking throughout the years I'll put up here or on my main YouTube channel. So, don't forget to subscribe and share!

That's all for now. Happy photography and videography!

My new Viltrox 13mm F1.4 AF lens for Nikon Zfc unboxing

VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens for Nikon Z50 Z30 Z6II Z7II Z6 Z7

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I got the chance to test out my new Viltrox 13mm, f1.4 AF lens on my Nikon zfc, and I love it. Though, it's not for all situations. Especially, when I want closer shots of my subject. Sometimes, it's too broad. Hence, having to change the lens frequently. Lol.

I was planning to go out again today and use the Viltrox 13mm lens but, the weather forecast says it's gonna be cloudy the whole day. It's actually dark in my room right now. I was hoping for some bright blue skies. Anyway, since it's a holiday, it's a great chance to rest my body aka body maintenance.



VILTROX 13mm F1.4 f/1.4 Nikon z Mount Lens, Super Wide Angle Autofocus APS-C Lens for Nikon Z50 Z30 Z6II Z7II Z6 Z7

I really like how sharp the 13mm is. It really does give a little difference in the view perspective. Most reviewer says it's great for landscape. I usually set my camera to auto. And, it works well with the viltrox lens. It does give a little wider view.

The lens is a tad heavy. You can really feel the build quality and how much you pay for it. As I'm using it with the Nikon zfc, it really gives my camera a distinctive look. Yup, I know people eyeing my camera while carrying it around.

Maybe, it's because I'm like the only one carrying a camera. Well, there is this one other guy with a bigger lens than mine. Kinda funny, cause he's probably wondering why mine, the lens, is shorter if I'm gonna shoot some birds.

I didn't really go to the Sungei Buloh Wetlands Reserve (Google Maps) to get some bird shots. I also wanted to try my new Nikon Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm lens. I'm also loving the lens. Though I couldn't get much closer shots, I can still enlarge and crops the pics later.

Well, you need to go out there and start shooting photos if you want to improve and I certainly learn a lot by doing it. Every time I went out hiking or cycling to interesting places to take photos, I discovered what kind of lens I should or not use. 

I basically got myself the Nikkor z dx 50-250mm because I like zooming in or out to get the shots that I want or preferred. When I first used the 28mm prime lens, I really miss the zooming capabilities of my Nikon Coolpix P950. Of course, the prime lens offered a different perspective too.

When I went to the wetland reserve, I wasn't thinking of getting bird shots. Luckily, I had the 50-250mm. So, I managed to get some good bird shots. But, I soon realized, I'm a couple mm lens shorts. I couldn't get any closer. Now, I'm thinking can or should I get a teleconverter? 

I just saw this Nikon Nikkor z 400mm (without a tc) and have been watching some reviews and Nikon official videos on it. Looks like pretty amazing pictures and videos. I also like how some reviewers say it's much shorter and lighter compares to other big lenses.

Check out some of my 13mm and 50-250mm pics I took at the Sungei Buloh Wetland reserve below:

The last pic is cropped from a 50-250mm shot. The lens couldn't get any closer but I can enlarge and crop it. Still looks good. Also, using the 13mm is also great for a vertical shot. Useful, when taking a pic of the tall tower. You don't have to stand further out.

Because I'm lazy, I shot mostly in jpegs and just edit a bit of color, brightness, saturation, etc. For more pics and videos of the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. Check out my video here. Pls like, share & subscribe!

JJC optical glass lcd screen protector for my nikon z fc lcd touchscreen

Screen Protector for Nikon Z fc Zfc Camera, HUIPUXIANG 0.3mm High Definition 9H Hardness Optical LCD Premium Glass Protective Cover [3+1 Pack]

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yes, it's already been 5 days and I'm still covid positive. The good news is my fever and body aches are gone. Maybe, a little cough here and there. Other than that, I'm doing well. I guess, this is a good chance for me to relax at home.

I bought an LCD screen protector for my Nikon z fc. Which is a touch screen. I keep forgetting about that. Before it arrived, I didn't want to get my screen all smudge with my fingerprints without the protector. Once, it arrived, I quickly did a quick install.

Installation is rather easy. As you just need to make sure that it's straight and follows the LCD screen's 4 corners. Make sure you clean the touch screen with the alcohol cleaner. Wipe it with a cloth and use the sticker for any little dust.

After installation, I test the touchscreen and it works perfectly. Having an LCD touchscreen is pretty useful. No wonder most camera reviewers always wanted it. My Nikon p950 LCD wasn't touchscreen and I didn't really care about it.

I found myself using the touchscreen which is much faster when you want to quickly go through the menu or settings. I wish there is a scroller wheel on the Z fc like on my P950. When I want to go up and down the list, a scroller wheel is much faster than having to press up and down.

Most if not all reviewers of the z fc think the battery cover is flimsy or the texture of the camera is plastic and cheap. Personally, I don't have any complaints about the texture or battery cover. That's just nitpicking. I did buy myself a handgrip for a better grip on the camera.

I'm also looking around for some affordable lenses to be used with my new camera. The 28mm kit is good and sharp. I'm learning how to use it. But, as I have covid and am busy with work, haven't yet tried it outside. No matter as I'm not really in a hurry.

I like cycling to nature parks and beaches. It'll be great for me to bring along my Nikon z fc and take some nice pictures. Besides posting my videos and pics on my youtube channel, I also post them on Google Maps. If you like traveling and taking pictures post them there.

I'll need to save up if I want to get any of the lenses above. They are pretty expensive. That's why I like my Nikon P950. Its 83x optical zoom is fun to use. And, you don't need to bring along any separate lenses. Well, every camera has its pros and cons.

I'm just happy to have two good cameras to play with now.

What do you guys think?
