My First 48 Hours With The Nikon Z6iii | Real World Opinions and Early Impressions 

Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for the more long term video after I've used this more!

You said in the past couple of years Nikon fell behind in the category of hybrid cameras, which was surprising. Z9 was released 2 1/2 years ago at Christmas '21. It was the best hybrid upon release, recording up to 8k 30 RAW internally, and only got better (firmware soon added 8k 60 internal RAW recording). Z8 was the best small body hybrid on release 13 months ago offering everything the Z9 does. No other cameras have matched the Z8/9 as hybrid cameras.

That's an absolutely exceptional set of photos you got.

Nikon keeps giving and giving and more 3rd party support then that other brand 👍

Just discovered your channel looking for some more videos about the z6iii. I'm not halfway through the video, but just wanted to say your photography is stellar. Exceptional shots and very inspiring! Liked and subsribed!

Awesome overview from one of my favorite creators! Thanks. Definitely upgrading to this before the summer is out. Then it's time to develop my color grading skills!

Fantastic video, thanks for sharing you knowledge

I've pre-ordered !

I ditched nikon a few years ago for the exact reason you mentioned. I noticed it was behind compared to what competitors were releasing. This was a much needed release Well done nikon 👏🏼

I’m returning mine. Just don’t like the grip/feel of it. I actually prefer my Zf with the Smallrig better, which has a lot of the same capabilities and where it doesn’t, I grab my Z9. Still think it’s a stellar move on Nikon’s point. If only they just made the grip more D750ish.

I have the Z6ii and I’m going to trade in for this camera. Knowing the autofocus is improved I think it’s time to switch and get the updated 6iii

Great pictures and great video, now the main question is are you getting the z6III or the z8 lol. I hope you are enjoying all the new Nikon cameras.

is the Eye Af on par with the Z8? Thank you for your initial review and the beautiful photos.

I think Nikon is going to sell a literal crap ton of these cameras, I can't wait to get my hands on one!

Behind, video, what is the Zf, Z9 and Z8 with quiet Z lenses.

Quick question - is the top LCD screen the same size as the Z6ii or Z8?

Beautifiul camera. Great review. Sony, step up your camera bodies. Great photos btw.

The Z9 and Z8 sells very well and the same applies to the Nikon Zf and now the Z6 III which is already No. #1 best seller at B&H photo.

Can you record raw video on external SSD?

I received my Z6 III today, and after spending hours going through the menus and setting it up, I feel that they crammed too much into this camera. I feel that the Z6 III is aimed more towards the video shooter than the stills one. I plan to take it out for a test run tomorrow.

Long time Nikon user as well from D90 (first DSLR with video), D7000, D600, D810...almost jumped ship to Canon to get R5 or R6, but Nikon Z6 convinced me to stay on Nikon camp with the FTZ and my F-mount lenses. Got the Z9 when it was announced and i'm all in with Nikon Z system. Was waiting for the Nikon FF with articulating screen for video/vlog and smaller form factor than my Z9, Z8 didn't appeal to me as it's essentially Z9, although smaller still wanted the Z6 form factor. I was about to get Nikon ZF but decided to wait on Z6III. It is everything I was hoping for and more, had Nikon just made the Zf and made a normal looking body like the Z6/Z6II I would have been perfectly happy instead Nikon gave me essentially a baby Z9/Z8. Should arrive in a couple of days, Nikon USA shows "processing" but 24-120 f/4 lens already shipped, really excited!

If you do 10-bit h.265, is it 4:2:0 or 4:2:2? I'm hoping 4:2:0 as it's way easier to play on most computers.

I think I'm gonna keep saving for the z8, right choice?

Please talk more about flexible color picture control

The ZFs IBIS was free floating when it was off and made „clunk“ sound when the camera was moved. How is it with the Z6-3? Is it locked when switched off?

So is it 5 zf 6 7 and 8? Im confused

As a D810 user for many, MANY years, how do the raw files of the Z6iii compare in terms of dynamic range? I've tried the Z6ii and Z7ii and neither came close - not even in the ballpark. I realize the D810's sensor was one of the best DR sensors ever made, and I'm not expecting the same performance, but would sure like to hear it's better than the previous two offerings.

Unfortunately, here in Canada, the Z6iii goes for $3400.00 (body only). Not such a great price for us! Australia in the same boat. 😂😂

Just a heads up, your text overlay in the intro says Z6ii not, Z6iii

I’m thinking of adding this to my Sony kit 😂

Is the video more difficult to get right than in other simular cameras?

First landing , u should help some to reach your editing style 🙏🏽

River photo the best

Opinion should I sell the z8 for this because I do more video or keep it because I do more video 😂

Been waiting to see your review. I looked at the Nikon Z6III & since I like to compare I pulled the specs. I currently own a Nikon Zf and a Nikon Z6II with my Zf being my main camera. Between the Zf and Z6III, for stills there is little to no difference unless you are going to use it for sports or wildlife: slightly faster shutter speed and much larger buffer on the Z6III. If you plan to use it for video and are deciding between the two, spend the extra $500 on the Z6III. Based on specs alone, I have come to the conclusion that it is not worth the upgrade from the Zf. If I decide to stick to video (launched my first video under a different name yesterday), I would consider it as an upgrade to the Z6II. Now to convince Nikon to give me a rebate on my 6ii for a trade in.

Price difference is far to great to the z6ii for the real life difference , i can get the ii for 1799 € and the iii cost 2999€ at the same vendor both new.

vs z8?

3200 $ in Germany. Its very expensive!

Rad sleeve

I prefer small camera body and easy to carry around but Nikon still way too big with lens not a good option for me and no other option brands lenses choose from a lots down side

Still doubting between this one and Z8...Only can afford one;-)

Sorry. Feel this is more inclined towards the sponsor angle.

a7iii still relevant.

sad this camera don't have a protection for the Sensor like z8 . Mirrorless cameras are very susceptible to laser damage and also to dust when changing lenses. None of my old DSLR have problems with lasers. And Now even my brand new Z6 II in one event got burn by laser . the sensor is too much time exposed.

Hope canon is ready to come out swinging with the r5ii. Because they need to actually provide some revolutionary improvements, otherwise their brand is officially just blowing away in the dust.

Heavily edited photos with preset. How can this be a camera review if photos are far away from what camera took?

'in the last couple of years Nikon has fallen behind' z9 best camera of the year last two years. 😂

It smelled right from the start but when he said brighter evf was awesome for watching at night i knew this is most probably paid video or he just doesn't know what he talkin' about lol

I feel bad for anyone that takes this bro seriously
