Some are calling this the new D850 moment, myself included. I go through a long look at how these two epic allrounders compare. It is not an exhaustive look, but covers a lot of ground. How do you think they compare?

Other notable things worth mentioning are the OVF and EVF experience are very different, with pros and cons for both, these days I prefer an EVF. Please let me know if there is anything else I should add to the full look at Z8 vs D850.

00:00 Intro
00:15 Z8 Vs D850
00:40 Size difference
02:00 Both 45.7 MP but …?
02:30 What is the difference between sensor on D850 and Z8
02:50 Sensor Shield
03:00 Stacked BSI vs BSI
03:45 In-depth look at sensors, D850, Z 9 / Z 8 and Z 7
04:00 How do these sensors perform?
04:45 How does IBIS affect this equation?
05:25 What about HDR or bracketing?
06:33 Could a high speed mirrorless do two frame HDR’ invisibly’?
07:05 DXO Charts Colour Sensitivity
07:20 Tonal Range
07:30 Dynamic Range
07:50 SNR 18%
08:18 ISO Sensitivity
08:47 Who are Nikons competitors?
09:30 Sony A1 and Z9 / Z8 are rated the same with DXO
09:45 Canon R5 comes in at 95 with DXO vs 98 for Z9 / Z8 and A1
10:30 Stacked sensors will perform better
11:05 Why does Nikon keep making 45.7MP cameras?
11:30 45.7 MP seems to be an all-rounder resolution.
12:25 8K video works well at this size
13:10 Diffraction is another reason why 45.7MP makes sense
13:40 A close look at diffraction in Capture One with the Sony A7 R V
14:50 60.2 MP vs 45.7 does not look that different
15:40 Is there an advantage to those extra MP’s?
16:00 What are these strange rings in the Sony Image?
18:15 Does the extra MP matter?
19:00 Do we want higher MP file sizes?
20:09 Why is this a D850 moment?
21:22 45.7MP is THE SWEET SPOT !!!
22:18 All the different AF detection modes
22:50 Much faster frame rates
23:33 Pre-Capture
24:00 Z 8 video spec much higher than D850
24:20 Card slot situation?
24:50 IBIS
26:00 I/O
26:30 Grip comfort and button layout
27:40 Yes they have different screen types
28:00 The gap between these cameras will expand
28:40 THIS IS A D850 moment +++ !!
29:45 Your turn to comment
30:07 F glass in most cases works even better on Z 8
