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 retro design nikon z fc 28mm se lens pictures and videos


Z fc DX-Format Mirrorless Camera Body w/NIKKOR Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR - Silver

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I could finally go out and test my new beautiful retro Nikon z fc with a 28mm se lens camera. I actually have the Astrhori 50mm but kinda lazy to use it also I thought it's best I concentrate on what the 28mm can do first. And, it's good, especially the ability to autofocus.

I can always try out the Astrhori 50mm later on. Though, right now I'm still waiting for my Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Lens. I think one of the reasons I was a little hesitant to use the Astrhori was its manual focus.

My first camera was the Nikon Coolpix P950. What I really like about it is the 83x optical zoom and 2000mm digital zoom. It's also autofocus. When I bought the z fc, I bought it together with the 28mm see which has autofocus too. Yesterday, when I need to autofocus fast it really helps.

I was trying to catch a moving train and if I had used the Astrhori, I don't think I'll be able to manual focus as fast. Still, I might be trying it out some other time. I'm thinking of revisiting a local Japanese cemetery park. They have some nice flowers growing there.

I'm really starting to have a hang of it. Really fun to go out and take photos using either my P950 or now my Z fc. I also have the GoPro Hero10 black. I like it too. Useful when I need to take some action videos while cycling. One of my friends was amazed by the video quality.

I took some photos with the hero10 and it's actually not that bad. Forget about the zooming quality though. You can watch my GoPro videos here and another one here. The stability is very good. I can't say much for the z fc. It's not as smooth as a GoPro.

I should have waited for Hero11. It even has 27mp photos. If I was impressed by Hero10, the Hero11 is definitely another step up. For now, I'll stick with Hero10 as it's my first GoPro. I seldom use it but I always bring it along during my cycling and photography trips. Just in case.

I'm even thinking of getting the Fujifilm X-H2. Looks like a super good camera. But, there are rumors of an X-T5 with almost the same spec as the x-h2. I've never owned a Fujifilm camera but it sounds interesting. The X-T4 already has good reviews.

I'm feeling like a kid in a candy store. So many good cameras but no money. Lol. Well, I always say to myself that I have a whole lifetime to try them all out. I'm only just started learning photography and using both my Nikon P950 and Z FC. Both are really good cameras.

I'm also starting to learn which type I prefer. The zooming capabilities and the autofocus is really important to me. I heard that zooming lenses aren't as good as prime lenses. The good news is they're getting better. I hope the Nikon Nikkor Z Dx 50-250mm won't disappoint. Can't wait!
