[QUOTE="WaltE, post: 811371, member: 52673"] I'm Walt. Been a Nikon user for about 25 years or so. Before that Pantax. Currently have a D850 and Z6. About 5 years ago or so I started becoming interested in cinematography, which took me into the world of BlackMagicDesign and Canon. Still have a lot of situations where a mirrorless form factor is best. The Z6 is a very nice camera but the video just doesn't cut that great with raw video footage. Looking at the Z8 to bridge that gap. So far after a lot of research, I believe I'm getting close to picking one up thanks to some help from here already as well. Have a Ronin S2 that I think it will pair nicely with. Everything I do is hobby. I've had jobs for 50 years and it's time to do something just for me. No money involved I shoot music videos, documentaries, and a hodge podge of whatever. I pick subject matter and make the offer. I've found folks who do very interesting things and it has been pure joy to document their activities. My hobby is truly multimedia utilizing stills, video, and an audio studio. I also love just taking the camera out an snagging wildlife shots. I don't publish much of what I do as I find social media shallow and often disgusting riddled with agendas, all of which are reminiscent of work. I don't anticipate anything by being here but I'm sure I will find enjoyment. [/QUOTE]
