Nikon Z* mirrorless

I’m impressed with the high ISO performance on the Z8 and ligthroom AI editing.

This photo is at ISO12800 so I used the AI denoise tool to reduce noise. As there were twigs across its face I was going to bin it but I’d try out the new AI removal in lightroom. I probably spent all of a minute editing it.

Here’s a screenshot of the unedited photo:

The AI enhancements has made a huge second DNG stored along with the original RAW file so I wouldn’t use it for every edit.

Had one but didn’t keep it long as the Zf dragged me in. A good camera - described as for beginners but nothing further from the truth. It does feel a little light and insubstantial though. If I had the choice again though, bearing in mind I don’t know the relevant prices, I would also look at a used Z6ii.

I honestly thought this shot would be binned but there's something calm and relaxing about it that I really like. It's been a cloudy day on the Isle of Wight, too and that helped with this one. Nikon ZF, 14-30mm f/4 with a Heliopan 2.5x polarising filter.
