Summary

This is the Daily FRO for Feb 12th 2020.

Out of nowhere, Nikon decided to officially announce the D6 and calling it a D6 is kind of a stretch in my mind.

Jared, Polan Froanos, Fautau.com. And this is the Daily Fro for February 12th, 2020. The time,

0:11.0

I got to check. 107 in the PM. This is episode number 295, where I sit down sometime during the day

0:17.2

to share what's on my mind with you and you get to share what's on your mind with me by calling or texting 267-4546376. So today felt like a good day to do a podcast

0:27.1

to share some more information and thoughts on the Nikon D6 disappointment. Now I call it the

0:33.3

Nikon D6 disappointment because that's what it is. There's no way around it.

0:37.9

If you're a Nikon shooter and you're hating on me and saying that Jared, you hate

0:41.8

Nikon and it shows, well, one, wait, PC, not PC, fuck you, fuck you for that statement.

0:52.2

Because I've been shooting Nikon since I was 15 years old and just changed for many reasons, as I've specified many times before at this point.

1:01.4

But the D6 is a flat out disappointment when you look at what it offers you in comparison to even the 1DX Mark 3, which is far more superior as a camera.

1:14.8

So I did a preview video. Some of you may have seen it. Some of you may have not seen it.

1:19.3

Let's go over some of the specs and break it down even further than I could have done in the seven

1:23.6

minute, seven and a half minute video that I already put out. So how does this come about?

1:30.0

Let's take a step back. We had zero warning whatsoever that anything was being announced.

1:35.8

My first warning came from looking at Nikon rumors to see that they were saying an announcement

1:40.4

was coming tonight. So I had no idea. Generally speaking, with any company across the

1:45.7

board, we have an idea of what's coming, whether we have a briefing with the PR people or tech people

1:52.1

giving us their thoughts on the new stuff or a hands-on or a preview or something. Normally, we know something.

2:03.2

Well, in most cases. In this case,

2:07.7

we knew nothing. And Nikon chose not to let anybody know anything for this because I guess they were afraid of leaks, which doesn't make any sense being that the D6 was already announced

2:12.6

as a development announcement. So who gives us shit? And I think it actually goes deeper than that. Now,

2:18.7

let me, before I go into why I'll go deeper into why they didn't give us any information.

2:25.1

Let me tell you why it's important to give the press people or I don't want to be called
