I am a wildlife photographer from Norway. F-stop Ambassador, and partner with Nikon, Stavanger foto, Tragopan Hides and Vallerret Photography Gloves
I love nature with all that comes with it. Sounds, colors, animals and birds. Being out in nature is a huge inspiration. And a great way to capture the moment is photography. So by starting this channel, I wanted to bring the audience into my world when I am out photographing birds and animals.

I always admire your tenacity and the quality of your work, Trond. If you will put some mosquito repellent on your hands and then put on a pair of mesh gloves with the rubber dots to keep them from slipping you can keep the bugs off and not get any of the plastic melting repellent on your equipment. The mesh head net you had on works pretty well but you need to put bug repellent on your cap and the back of your head. Or... you could have a medic standing by to give you a blood transfusion when you get out of the woods. I have been there and done that so I know what it's like. Nevertheless, your spotted woodpecker shots were spectacular and the processing couldn't be any better. Youdaman, Trond.
Props for doing such nice work under those damn bugs! Used to live in Minnesota and "fondly" remember those bugs - not! The heat in Phoenix is really not any better. Gotta ask, what does the Z6iii bring to the table the Z9 does not; for you? Owning the Z8 and Z9, not sure if the Z6iii would fit into my kit or not.
Noise argument is invalid though.. The more MP, the more details, not more noise but you see it more clearly because you zoom in more,, and the more MP, the more easy to remove noise without losing details. It's math. I use a 61MP sensor and it has less noise than the 12 MP A7SIII. 24MP today is not optimal for birds/wildlife when you can have 45/50/61 and crop instead of using a 1.4 TC( or both crop and use TC)
I’m really considering selling my canon r6 to get this. Nikon has more “affordable “ tele lenses for wildlife. Currently using a r6 with 100-500. I would love to try the 6iii and 180-600. Later on want to try some of their PF lenses
It's a long over due needed up grade looks really good and performance seems to tick all the boxes , but outside of USA the price is way too high when you have to pay in currency other than USD. Z6III is too expensive everywhere right now , like check retail and nikons home page prices for Canada ,Europe UK, Australia and New Zealand they are crazy prices. Most people won't be buying as it is a massive difference in price compared to what Americans are paying with their local currency. It's like Nikon is saying to me , too bad so sad bad luck if you live outside of USA because you will have to over pay, if you want this Z6III camera.
I'm honestly not fussed, the Z6II had a lot of hype around it and I found the AF awful. I've shot Nikon for a long time including the Z6 soni know the AF fairly well.
the issue I have with Sony is the top end lenses are ridiculously priced whereas with Nikon you can get a 500mm f4 for around £1700 And of course the Z6iii is more expensive, it's a brand new camera, the A7 IV is three years old now and at launch it cost around £2400 so it was only £200 cheaper than the Z6III
It’s a 1sec ring-buffer that runs as soon as you half-press the shutter. So it will then capture that 1sec buffer and store it to the memory card(s) as soon as you full-press. So then you don’t miss critical action-shots if you’re late on the shutter.
I've been shooting a D500 with the 200-500 f5.6 for years and been very happy with the files I get with the dx21 mp sensor. My concern about the Z6iii is its mp count. At 25 mp fx it seems like I will loose pixel density and resolution if I upgrade. Am I wrong?
I'm shooting the same setup...Yes you will lose a lot of pixel density..I forget the exact number but a D500 has almost the same pixel density as the Z8 if it were scaled up to FF..I'm hoping Nikon will give us a D500 replacement and bump the mp to 24...
@ajc1482 I agree, I love aps-c camera's..Like you said we would need to buy the 800pf or the 500pf which plays nice with tele's...But, yeah, I will take a DX body over FX...We need a DX 24-28 mp built like the Z9 with the best AF Nikon can do...I'm thinking stacked sensor and dual processors...I think it would shock them on sales...But I'm a raptor shooter so this would be a camera for me...
That's my thoughts too. I had the same problems with the Z50/Z6ii combo. I liked the Z50 because it was lightweight and I travel a lot I ended up using it more than my Z6ii.
I just came home from woodpecker session with this camera. And I must say I am impressed by the ISO performance. I get where you are coming from. But the way I think my Z9 is perfect in situations that I need to crop more. On shy birds and so on....
It got my interest but then I saw the price of £2699 in the UK and thought that I can get a Lumix G9ii and I'm part way to getting another telephoto for that price. I don't care about the sensor size difference in case anyone says 😂 Also for reference a mid range S5ii is going for almost £1k new here in the UK as well so for all the selling and buying I would have to do to change to Nikon it doesn't seem worth it at all. Still I enjoy seeing new cameras :)
@Kampani_2024 Seriously manufacturers need to start putting out decent APSC cameras. I was having a discussion the other day how they are the perfect in-between of m43 and FF!
I can relate to your enthusiasm. I felt likewise excited when I spent some time capturing images of a barred owl who seemed unflapped by my respectful presence.
Fabulous images of the Tawny owls - they are amazing creatures and I really admire your patience and field skills in getting close to them. Also, I loved the video of the adult and the chick in silhouette in the trees. Thank you!
