Z6III

Bought the Z6III for AF, starlight view and telephoto options and loves their rental shots.

“I got a Nikon for the AF, the powerful starlight live view, and the super telephoto lens options.”

Thoroughly impressed with the Z6 III after leaving Fujifilm; size fears were unfounded, expense the downside.

“I've been thoroughly impressed with the Z6 III and Nikon's glass”

A Northern Lights guide who moved from the a7 IV to the Z6III and is on the fence; it's great in some ways, terrible in others.

“I'm on the fence about keeping the Z6III. I thought I was going to love it, I'm not.”

Switched to the Z6III for birding and photographed fishing bald eagles.

“It is what I did, and its a choice you won't regret.”

Finds their Z6III and Zf far better in low light than their X-T3 and X-H1.

“the lowlight images dont compare to those of my Nikon Zf nor Z6III.”

Has small hands and shot the Z6III all day with a 24-70 f/2.8 without much fatigue.

“I shot with the z6iii all day today and didn’t have much grip fatigue.”

Finds the Z6III fine for small hands, even with a 500mm, after an X-T30 II.

“The Z6iii - even with a 500mm lens- is no problem for my small hands”

Owns the Z6III but finds it too big and heavy for everyday carry.

“The Z6III will be a lot less convenient. I own one, but don’t use it as EDC. It ‘s too big and weighty for me.”

Finds the Z6III with the 100-400 does everything they need.

“Z6iii and 100-400. It kinda does everything I need it to”

Chose the Z6III over the Z5II and Zf and loves it.

“i landed on the z6iii and LOVE it”

Moved from a D750 to the Z6III for its technology, but it killed their passion and now collects dust.

“I have always loved my D750, but mover over to Z6iii for the technology. Killed my photography passion”

A hobbyist who bought the Z6III and is in love with it.

“I'm a hobbyist and bought a Z6iii in February and I'm in love with the thing.”

Switched from the Lumix S5IIX to the Z6III and finds flash response, focus confirmation and photo/video switching better.

“Switching between video and photo modes on the Nikon is instantaneous.”

Rented a Z6III alongside their a6700 and found it keeps up on autofocus and beats it on dynamic range.

“Autofocus - it’s not as intuitive as the Sony “AI” system, nor as efficient, but I’m not missing shots even with my cat jumping around.”

Moved from the Z6II to the Z6III, which focuses better and has a remarkable low-light viewfinder.

“Latter focuses a bit better and low light view is another level of dark magic.”

Owns a D850 and a Z6III; the Z6III is better in low light, IBIS, subject detection and AF speed.

“The low light performance, IBIS, subject detection, and autofocus speed are all superior on the Z6iii.”

Hit 100,000 shots birding with the Z6III; firmware 2.0's bird AF didn't noticeably raise their hit rate but helps in busy backgrounds.

“The addition of bird AF in FW 2.0 was highly anticipated but I don't feel like it has improved my hit rate significantly.”

Rented the Z6III for a weekend and found it great; it improved their keeper rate for show jumping.

“I rented the z6iii for labor day weekend and it was great.”

Moved from an a7R III to the Z6III and finds it an all-round powerhouse with the Tamron 35-150.

“After witnessing the capabilities of the Z6iii, I felt compelled to purchase it. It’s an all-around powerhouse.”

Owns a Z6III and sometimes feels they should have chosen a higher-resolution Sony.

“For reference, I have a z6iii and feel like I should got the higher mp with Sony instead….”

Loves their Z6III and credits its Expeed 7 processor.

“Go all out and get the Z6 III... I love mine!!!”

Loves the Z6III with the 24-70 f/4 S; night shots are hard at f/4, but the camera handles low light very well.

“the z6iii handles low light very well”

Owns the Z9 and Z6III and often reaches for the Z6III for its amazing EVF, saving the Z9 for when they need megapixels.

“Z6III has an amazing EVF. I have both the Z9 and Z6III and reach for the Z6III often because of the EVF.”

Took a new Z6III to Canada with the 180-600; completely in love with it, and it's a big low-light step up from their Z50.

“I must say I’m completely in love with the camera. Some of my best shots ever were taken on this trip.”

Owns a Z6III and sometimes feels they should have bought the Z8, though photos like these reassure them.

“As a fellow Z6iii, I felt I made a mistake not going for the Z8.”

Moved from the Z6II to the Z6III; no landscape improvement, but the AF makes a big difference for festival events.

“I came from a Z6II and for landscape, I dont see any improvement. But on the side I also do event photography during festivals and the AF really made a big difference for me !”

Shoots concerts with the Z6III and Zf; the Z6III holds focus slightly better, but both tend to lock onto microphones.

“Except both bodies have the most annoying tendency to focus on microphones if it’s in fr”

Their Z6III hunts a lot and sometimes misses focus in AF-C 3D tracking.

“I feel when using AFC-3D my z6III does a lot of hunting and misses focus sometimes.”

Uses the Z6III at weddings for low light and quiet moments but finds mirrorless less intuitive than their DSLRs.

“I have z6iii for low light or quieter settings if I'm at a wedding.”

Traded a D780 for the Z6III; it's a better camera overall, but they miss the DSLR's mechanical shutter and optical viewfinder.

“I had a D780 which I px for Z6iii and whilst I think it's a better camera overall there's something about a mechanical shutter and OVF”

Owns a Z6III and a D780; the Z6III is fantastic but complicated and takes practice, while the D780 just takes great pictures.

“I have the Z63 and it’s fantastic but it’s better than I am”

A fairly new photographer with the Z6III and 24-120 f/4 kit who is having a blast; favourite ergonomics, quick and accurate AF, and gorgeous colours straight out of camera.

“The ergonomics are hands down my favorite of every camera I checked out at the store. The AF is quick and accurate”

Loves their Z6III for night shooting.

“I shoot mostly as night and I love my z6iii.”

Appreciates the Z6III's viewfinder for their poor eyesight and leans to it over their D780.

“My eyes are pretty poor and really appreciate the Z6iii viewfinder.”

Their new Z6III was faultless during a wedding day, but in the evening the screen lagged and subject detection struggled.

“Through the day it was absolutely faultless, when it came to the night do the screen was lagging and seemed to struggle with picking subjects.”

Finds their Z6III incredible, like a mini Z8, with fast, sharp AF, beautiful image quality and video.

“I own the Z6iii and it is absolutely incredible. It’s a mini Z8.”

Just got a Z6III, whose AF is much better than the Z6II they tried.

“Whereas the Z6iii is much better and has a much better autofocus (from the Expeed 7 processor).”

Owns a Z6III but would pick the Z5II today for its dynamic range, as they don't need video.

“I own the z6iii and have since before the z5ii's release. If I was making the decision today I'd be going with the z5ii.”

Chose the Z6III for its CFexpress speed and video headroom for future paid work.

“Having the ability to take a bunch of photos very quickly without worrying about the card could really save my ass depending on the job.”

As a pro owning Z8/Z9 and two Z6IIIs, used the Z6IIIs most for video, with 6K60p 10-bit and a noticeably better viewfinder.

“I owned both the Z8/9 and 2 Z6III’s at the same time (for professional work). I used the Z6III’s far more, especially if you are doing any video.”

Owns the ZR, Z8 and Z6III and finds the Z6III the best hybrid camera; the Z8 is too big for video.

“For the hybrid work is in my opinion best solution th Z6III.”

Their Z6III often failed to register the photo/video switch after firmware 2.0; firmware 2.01 fixed it.

“I've experienced significant issues with my Z6III when switching between photo/video, with the camera not registering every single time I switch between both.”

Owns both a Z8 and a Z6III and uses the Z6III more; Z8-level performance in a smaller body and the best all-rounder in Nikon's line-up.

“I have both Z8 and Z6III and I use Z6III more often.”

Upgraded from the original Z6 to the Z6III, which is fantastic for action and very customizable.

“The Z6 iii is fantastic for action shooting, and it's controls are very customizable for my uses.”

Has to replace the rubber on their Z6III and Z8 every 4–6 months, including the main grip.

“Every 4-6 months like clockwork for me I have to re-rerubber my Z6iii and Z8.”

Their Z6III handles much better for their long fingers than their old D5100.

“I own a Z6III. It handles much better, at least for me (woman with long fingers), than my D5100”

Moved from a D750 to the Z6III and found it a huge jump in experience and results, especially for people.

“I had a 750. And the jump to Z6III felt like going from a horse and a carriage to a new EV.”

Their Z6III with the Nikon grip rejects their older Nikon and SmallRig batteries, even after buying more Nikon ones.

“My Nikon z6iii (with the official Nikon grip) doesn't like any of the batteries I have.”

Owns and uses a Z6III, which they describe as essentially a ZR with a viewfinder and without RED RAW.

“I do, however, own and use a Z6iii - which is basically a ZR with a viewfinder and without RED RAW.”

A wedding and event shooter who replaced their Z6II with the Z6III: wide-angle keepers almost tripled with the same lens. Pairs it with a Z8 and 70-200.

“Last week I sold my Z6ii and upgraded it to the Z6iii with the new guts and holy cow my wide angle keepers have almost tripled on the same exact lens.”

Owns the Z6III, Z7II, Z8 and Z6II and rates the Z6III best; says the Z7II takes very good images too.

“I have all 3 of those cameras (Z8 also) plus the Z6ii (dont consider). Best Z6iii”

Bought a full Z6III kit a year ago, mainly for birding with the 180-600, and recommends it wholeheartedly as a superb hybrid that covers photos and video.

“I can recommend the Z6III wholeheartedly, superb hybrid camera to cover all from photos to video! Birding was my photographic”

Uses the Z6III for photos only and appreciates its grip and viewfinder.

“I use mine for photos only, and appreciate the features like a grip and viewfinder for that reason. If you’re keeping the D850 for photos I’d go with a Zr”
