Nikon Z6 III: A $2500 Powerhouse!

🔥

Bad review which does not show any animal or birds (not including the dog). Does not address any moving subject.

For the birders: You only make heavy crops out of your photos if you don't have enough focal length with your lens. Otherwise the statements that 24 MP is not enough are not very substantial. And the difference between 33 MP and 24 MP is only 9 MP. That's not enough to get any noticeable improvement.

I think that by-and-large, this is exactly what the market needed it to be (and what Nikon needed it to be); a carefully considered body with just the right mix of features for its target audience. This makes four bodies in a row now that Nikon has hit outta the park. And I've no doubt there will be firmware updates coming for this camera as the months go on, same as the other Expeed 7 models.

Great review. I love the features. I primarily take photos only but the video specs are awesome. I agree, I wish it was 30 MP+ but for now the 24.5 MP works. Finally, Nikon should consider offering an A version and B version of the Z6 III. The A version can be what they have now with the flip out screen targeted to videographers. The B version can have the flip up or down screen found on the Z8 or Z9. To help with production the B version can have a slightly longer lead time. I’m sure we as photographers would be willing to wait a few weeks longer to get our preferred screen. OR make the screen interchangeable either by the user or authorized shop. Overall an awesome camera. I’m getting one as soon as I save up enough pennies.

Now who will be the company to put a screen as good in sunlight as my iPhone 15 Pro on the back.......

I can' wait to get my hands on that camera, that is one snazzy cage by SmallRig!

I completely missed that you created your own channel, very glad to see after moving around between channels.

3k powerhouse 😂

Nikon made amazing camera 👉

Your voice is noisy, not your audio. So you should change your voice

Question can you flip from photography to videography like you can with the Nikon z8

Z8 is looking old now. With 33 MP and the flip down screen on the Z6 nobody would buy a Z8.

My guess on the partially stacked sensor is that I think it’ll have better high iso dynamic range and less noise.
The Z9 and 8 have more noise at lower ISO and the dynamic range seems less than my d850

First time here. I just wanna say this man’s hair is goals

In my modest opinion, Nikon should have increased the resolution of the Z6 III to at least 37-40 MP like the D810 sensor, -magnificent camera that I still use with pleasure and confidence-, another success is the rotating screen that allows versatility fabulous framing. Thus the Z6 III would be the almost perfect camera. Thank you for such a pleasant and illustrative report.

I enjoy your videos, but aren't we a little tired of Nikon not giving you full access and overlooking you so you can't give a balanced review. You hinted at the issues it has like the flip screen which other brands have made tilt and fully articulating. Also it should have been a fully stacked sensor like you waned to say... These videos seem like free adverts for Nikon 😕

Can you make a Zf vs Z6iii in term of specs and most importantly shooting and day to day experiences?

Hey Nikon if you reading this, make a yellow leather Zf and I will buy one, I love yellow color, it's on Zfc now but not yet Zf, make it come quicker! 💛

I am a simple man: I see Bobby uploads, I watch and like. Great review as always!

So why is it 3600 dollars in Sweden!?

The camera records only one slot. What kind of video can we talk about?

Compare Hasselblad full frame , AI sharp. 🤣

Id go back to Nikon, but I love the focal range of my Tamron 20-40mm on my A7R5. There is no equivalent lens on Nikon still. Plus the card things is a pain. Also I still don't understand why Nikon aren't top at stabilisation with such a big mount.
Thing I miss with my Sony is the saved settings when moving back and forth from photo and video (plus the switch).

Yes, I fully agree with you about the megapixel 🤝 z6 line should have 30+megapixel for better cropping!! I would have bought it right away...

I hope Nikon allows Sigma and Tamron to produce Z-Mount lenses. Same with Canon.

Thought about getting it for 2500$ however in Croatia they bumped the price to 3000€... Currently theres an S5ii for 1700€ on sale (or 2000€ for X model)... 1300€ difference is crazy.

how does it stack up again Panasonic S5IIX?

Speaking for stills , let's be real here the Z6III is only marginally better in some respects than other brands in the segment and those bodies have been out for some time. The Z8 hit it out of the park but for the life of me I can't see much to get excited about here. 33mp with a fully stacked blackout free sensor would have been awesome but I am willing to bet the only reason Nikon choose to not do this is that it would eat into Z8 sales.

And then there is the flippy screen , I guess the vloggers will be happy at least. lol

Partially stacked benefit....yeah on our wallets 😵

I really like to know a bit more about this half stack sensor. But I think when we reach end of this year the Z8 probably reach a very sweet point for its pricing. I can see it is possible to get Z8 at about 1/3 more money than Z6iii and with Nikon continues to back up its products by releasing new firmware updates on Z9 and Z8, it make it all that more difficult for buyers to make that decision. Myself I will probably go for the Z8.

“In the top it looks like a z8”

No it doesn’t, it has a PSAM dial.

Honestly UHS-II V90 cards are way more expensive than good CF Express Type B cards now a days.

I have a Z8 and would have preferred they kept the dual CFB card slots of the Z9.

Angelbird and many other reliable brands offer quality and speedy CFB cards that are way cheaper and have higher capacity storage compared to V90 SD cards from the same brands.

thank you for the video but I have a question what Nikon mirrorless camera will you recommend for example I don't need all these video capabilities not right now not in the future because I'm a food photographer and I don't want to pay for the functions inside of camera which I'm not going to use it so from photography perspective without any crazy video capabilities which Nikon mirrorless camera will you recommend

Was I just sold a used car

It is not a culmination of z9,z8,zf. What Nikon did is; hierarchy was so defined in old series. What you paid was what you had got. They now switched old system, now you can get good item for what you have paid. The only camera that has the correct color (nikon color) was Zf. All the Z cameras are false in color. Now Z6 3 also gives Zf like correct color. I assume they finally fixed it. Now i can wait to change new Z9 when it is arrives.

Is the EVF blackout free like to Z8/9?

Another great 👍 video enjoyed it very much. Nikon knocked it out of the park

The AF is better vs the Z6ii and Z6, BUT against its two main rivals a resounding.….NO.

I’m so glad this camera still 24mp. If anyone want more mp just buy z8.

I understand the criticisms regarding photo features and not enough pixels. but i am taking this as a hint that they will put the photo features on the next iteration of the z7.

I hope there will be a Z73 with a higher resolution (>33 MP). What % stacking does the sensor have?

Partially stacked sensor: Keep the price down and at the same time make it perform better.

Bob's Big Boy, Is that you? Seriously, sounds like a nice camera and great video.

Nice Bobby but i think coming from D800 my go to shall be ZF

If it was 32-45 megapixels I would buy this camera

Seems huge and heavy vs. Sony

Nikon is so back

Since the launch I have had two Z 9s and a Z 7II with MB-N11, all of which I use daily. I don't need a Z 6III. I may buy a third Z 9 as it is best suited for me. It would be much more important for me if Nikon finally brought the Z 35mm f/1.2 onto the market, which many Nikon professionals have been waiting for for so long 😞

As usual, incredibly detailed yet concise and to-the-point video. Thanks for this great first look video! I am really hyped about this camera. Manual lens focus features, new audio preamps, updated evf… All great additions! Direct upload to the cloud is also quite interesting. I was always on the fence for ZF due to ergonomics, Z6iii seems like a camera made for me.
