Nikon Z6III Hands on First Impressions: 6k60 Raw Video, 120fps Photos (all for $2500) 🤯 

A lot of us on the Z6/7ii gave up waiting and got the Z8 or 9 but the temptation to turn that ii into a iii is very real. Looks solid!

4k 120 NRAW $2500 Welcome back Nikon Only wished they allowed SSD recording similar to the S5iix for the NRAW would be incredibly

THIS IS IMPRESSIVE

the scariest aspect for a lot of photographers (or is it just me?) is that ‘mid-range’ is 3k euros for the body only….

this was the first video I clicked on related to the N6III, great video dude!

The Z6iii is a SOLID performer. It packs a huge punch for the price. The Z6 has been my main camera for the past 5 years and the Z6iii is definitely my next camera. The tech specs are amazing and I'm REALLY digging the autofocus performance too! Also, that articulating screen! Finally! 😅 Great video Manny!

Nikon is back on the throne again, where there should be.

For portraits here are some key additions: -Focus-point VR*2 that reduces blurring in focused areas, even when the subject is near the edge of the frame. -Rich Tone Portrait Picture Control that realizes radiant and beautiful rendering of skin textures. -Offers skin softening and portrait impression balance functions effective for portrait photography.

Nice balanced and objective no-nonsense review, cheers Manny. Looking forward to more, enjoy the fact the you’re both a pro photographer, but also a bit of a techie :) And yes, I think the z6iii will be a staple for many.

Been out of the loop for just a few years, I had a portret photography business in 2021/22. To see these specs is absolutely mindblowing to me. Tech moves fast.

This is the first time I've seen Manny Ortiz so positive about Nikon and not taking shots at Nikon! Bravoooo! Drinks on me fellas! 😂🍻🍺 Btw this camera is a little beast! 🔥

I subscribed cos your video never got boring , not even for 1 second, amazing storytelling.

photo bloggers, shooting with cameras and getting the same result in the picture every time, prove that it doesn’t matter what kind of camera you have, but the main thing is skill and talent

I was this close to selling my gear and going to Nikon when this dropped and the 4k60 with exspeed 7 is everything means the processing power is better especially for auto focus.

I always love the reviews of new cameras but we are definitely at a point where most cameras are on par with each other. Thanks for the review!

Nikon do have their own cinema line now, it's called RED ;)

5:00 this is incorrect. It’s the same as Z9, 11MP in C120 mode. You can even see the resolution when you’re in lightroom that’s clearly not 24.5MP (6048x4032px)

This might be the one! I'm too invested in E Mount lenses but if this works well with a converter & Sony doesn't come with something in this range in the next few months I'm jumping in 😂

Thanks for the presentation

Finally, upgrading from the OG Z6

Good for Nikon now I can only imagine what Canon and Sony will bring even better autofocus and video capabilities for sure. Nikon will always be behind Sony, Canon, and now Panasonic lead the way in Autofocus.

Very interesting camera with all those specs. Tempt to try and maybe even finally start going to camp Nikon. ☺️ All the things i need and not too many megapixels.

This guy doesn’t miss fr

WOW impressive!👍

Always look forward to your gear reviews Manny, thank you

Sub'd and Liked - glad to hear a utuber give Nikon a fair shake - tho Nikon did need to catch up. It has very impressively good review

Can't take people serious that are disappointent with this camera. This thing is the best in class at everything and above competitors with it's performance in photo and video mode. The price will come down over time or there will be a trade-in or cash-back. Too much complains about nothing.

love that cinematic shot 6:04

The quality of the editing in the intro is pro level. EDIT: "This is the most important camera Nikon has launched since the Z9" Correction! This is the most important camera Nikon has launched since the D500!

Really good to see Nikon back in the game in that tier. Although more than 1 year too late for me. I’m deep into the Sony ecosystem now.

This camera looks good! I have a Z5 and D7200, I'll get this one for sure in replacement of my D7200.

MASSIVE WIN for Nikon. What an incredible tool for an amazing price.

Thanks for another great video Manny. I held my breath for 2 years waiting for this dream camera ( I shoot low light action ). But, while waiting, denoise software got better. I have 2 Z9 and 1 Z8 in my bag. Toss those images into software, and I’m good with images. So, I bought into Fuji GFX 100ii for other genres. I bought my first Nikon in 1974 and have been loyal to them since. Now, the only Nikon camera I might consider buying would be a global shutter Z9. Nikon slacked off

Love the content always on point from a photographers perspective 🎉❤

R6ii or Z6iii if you were switching systems and had no gear in either ecosystem and are a hybrid shooter that leans more toward photos

Pretty impressive. If I wasn’t a landscape photographer this camera would be very hard to pass up. I just frequently print very large so the a7r5 is still going to be my go to

I see the ceiling rail system in the studio is holding up still.

Nice work! Good overview of the camera. Good overall perspective.

Thank Manny for such a COMPREHENSIVE review and INSIGHTFUL opinion. You say:” For $2500 you get a TRUE Full Frame HYBRID camera…… It sets a NEW STANDARD for mid range do it all cameras……In photography it can shoot sport, wildlife, portraits……Wait to see how it performs in the real world.” It’s so true. Yes, I will wait to see how it does in the real world. The one thing that is MISSING is you don’t mention its DISADVANTAGES. In reality, nothing is perfect.

This is the camera I thought my Z6, was going to be when I immediately changed from DSLRs to Nikon mirrorless...wish they would have added a sensor shield though...hate not having one...I am going to wait till price drops and trade in my Z6II for the Z6III!

Stunning pictures to match a stunning model Manny, the camera is knock-out. Great vid.

Z8 still the best camera for nikon user

incredible setup btw!

good job on the outro lol. It felt natural for you!

That's it Manny show the peeps how to use the gear to take pro shots.Explain your setups and they will come in droves. No BS like many YT channels. Love ya Man! Nikon Z6III is winner for sure and I've owned almost every Nikon DSLR and now every Mirrorless Nikon. Problem is like you Manny do you pick up the Hasselblad, Canon, Sony or the Nikon for the shoot. Is it the Hasselblad currently for studio? The Canon with a 400 prime for sports or the Sony for travel along with the Fujj X100 or the Nikon left at home?

Your work is amazing ❤🙌🙌

Z6 iii looks awesome, but this Z6 user will still consider sony A7Cii for 2 main reasons.... 1. On principle, I hate being gouged on lenses. Specifically Tamnikon lenses with 30% markup. In general not being able to use Sigma lenses bugs me. 2. 28-32MP is really the sweet spot.

Great Video!!

Thought they would increase sensor resolution

Using Sony A7iii from past 6 years it still serves me well but i get tempted to upgrade by the kinds of feature all brands are offering these days.

Enjoyed that. Thanks!

Disregarding the "crappier" AF this body is everything the Sony A7 IV should have been. Great performance for the price.

What is the attraction of a "flippy" screen? I'd have much rather the Z6 III have the articulating screen of the Z8/9.

I can deal with the cons about Dynamic range issues of the Z6-3 in exchange for the autofocus features and video

no one is gong to mention how hard that intro music hit? lol.

I have a nikon d7200 and I recently discovered it's a crop. I've had this camera for more than 5 years and I always thought it was full frame. I was ready to switch to sony full frame but after this launch and all of my dslr nikon lenses, I don't see myself switching

A Nikon Z7iii between 2500 to 3k would be nice

Hello Professor, is this camera better than the Nikon Z9, especially in terms of battery life and photography?

One issue I see is that demand outweirghts supply and there is going to be mark ups due to the populaity of the camera....

You are right-handed, you hold your lens with your left hand, you focus and you trigger with your right hand: what do you do if on the fly you have to modify your settings or call up a pre-recorded configuration (I often do this by video and sports and animal photography) if your dial is on the left? Will we be able to assign to certain buttons the possibility of switching configurations with the right hand with the Nikon Z6III?

Beautiful woman. Impressive photos. Piękna Kobieta. Imponujące kadry.

Love how her skin looks in camera? Is this a special setting or standard? Not familiar with this brand.

Nikon fills a market segment where previous models were not competitive against the competition. But is it too late? In recent years, many photographers and photo enthusiasts have chosen to abandon the brand in favor of Sony, Canon, and Fuji. It's evident that since the production of mirrorless cameras began, Nikon has fallen behind. The new Nikon Z6 III seems to be an excellent camera on paper. Personally, I've always used Nikon, with their extraordinary DSLRs. I've also worked with the Nikon Z6 II professionally, but I found it unreliable for eye detection autofocus, etc. Consequently, I switched to Sony and, staying in the same segment, I find the Sony 7 IV exceptional. Moreover, Sony's lens lineup is very extensive. Despite Nikon's high-quality build, viewfinder, and display, I won't go back. I think too much importance is given to technology. Personally, what I look for in a professional camera is reliable autofocus, quality, and feel. With Sony, for years, I've been able to get what I had with Nikon DSLRs. I still hope that Nikon achieves the success it deserves with this new camera, but I think the competition is very fierce and that it's difficult for those who have switched to other brands to decide to go back, especially for economic reasons

Sure The ONE for wedding and video shooters.

Great specs and camera but apparently you can't record video to both cards at the same time for a back up. That's a huge issue.

Pointing out that this camera can do full res JPEGs at 120 fps while the Z9 can only do 11 MP JPEGs.. 🤯 plus it has better EVF and IBIS. It really makes the Z6III feel like a better buy if you don’t need 45 MP or 8K.

Who cares about the camera, your work is rad.

For $2500 that is a great price but does that include taxes you have to pay? Here in the UK its £2700 but then the Z8 is £3200.

To me, this camera seems like a lightweight, cheaper version of Canon's R3 RAW. Is the quality of RAW much lower compared to Canon's RAW? Or is it similar? For example, in the case of dynamic range...

Have that sensor have better dynamic range from bsi cmos in z6 ii?

But how far away is the Expeed 8 and the bodies that will go into.

Lumix s5iix matches it in video btw

what is that "waves" of nasty dark colors in the background of the pictures? is it because of the sensor of the camera or just errors in the process of color grading? you don't see this with your eyes in the real world, why are cameras still so bad when it comes to this?

Can the nikon z6iii touch the subject selection screen to lock and track the subject when filming like the canon r6ii?

Time for Sony to update the A7IV

i still wondering hows the focus on z6iii

£2700 in the UK, which is about 3500 USD - the price of Z8 in the US. This is ridiculous!

Where is made in? Thanks!!

Just got the Z8 and i’m having banding in HSS mode with godox ad400s faster than 1/1000s. such a shame there’s no mechanical shutter

6:00 what are these hot pixels

A flip screen for me and a lot of people is a hard pass, i dont underestand why in hell couldnt they put the z8 or an a7rV style screen at least, so no compromises for anyone, but no. Lets cater only to vloggers...

With the acquisition of RED, Nikon is now “competing with its cinema cameras, like Sony and Canon. That said great review!

120fps jpegs for 2500. A9 III leaves the chat.

How does someone with over 700k subscribers put out blatantly wrong information? The z6iii does NOT shoot 24mp at 120fps

How does the Z6 compare to the A7 IV

The trouble is it's $3500 in Europe. Pay just a little bit more and you have Z8. So it's not exacly cheap, you can get Z6 II for half the price or Z8 for just less than 10% more. It's weirld positioned and not really competitive on price.

how much iz z6😊

Need it. Someone buy my Z6ii

oooh the first b-roll music @0.40 hits at different level

120 fps with apsc or full frame

they got to work fast after buying red 😅

Respectfully...will you ever answer your email on your website?

The files and shots you produced 🤦‍♂️Holy crap they are fantastic.

All bought on Amazon 😅

Soon I will be replacing my 6ii with 6iii.....

5 hour review?

The autofocus still struggles, I wanted this to be my next camera but the Canon R6II has the far better autofocus.

3400 dollars in europe, crazy :/. 200 more bucks and oyu buy a z8

I switched off that video after the buzzword “video specs” came up. And yes I hate flip screens.

Dual card video recording ?
