Hey everyone! Today I am sharing my hands-on testing with the Nikon Z6III for photo and video, using a few different lenses including the Z 85mm f1.2 S, Z 50mm f1.2 S, Z 24-70mm f2.8 S and Z 17-28mm f2.8. In this review I'll be sharing my experience with autofocus for humans and animals, the buffer, image quality, my thoughts on the build of the camera and of course testing it out for video! I have so many video examples to share in all the different codecs this camera has to offer, keep an eye on the top left and corner for the labels. Let me know what you think of the camera and the video in the comments!

I'm so happy i stayed with Nikon. Almost jumped shipped back in 2019, and got a Sony A73 or Canon R6, but the original Z6 was enough to keep me on the Nikon side. My gut feel paid off, eventually got the Z9 beast (can't resist D850 + D6 + Red Camera in one body) and now the baby Z9 beast in a smaller form factor Z6III! Thanks Nikon!

@starbase218 10 дней назад

Makes perfect sense that the Z6 III is a baby Z9. After all, 6+3 (III) = 9. The minus 3 being the bottom 1/3 of the body (the grip). ;)

Oh come on now, really. So you're gonna sit there with a straight face & claim no one else had issues with Nikon AF? I guess you've missed the many reviewers who have mentioned it in their reviews, especially with the Z6, Z7 line & some even found the Z8 & Z9 to still not track as well as Canon & Sony. So tired of brand fanboys trying to blame user error & cover for mediocrity

good job Julia. Way more informative than other videos. I could tell this took a ton of work to put together. I switched from Sony to Nikon for the Z8 and never looked back. I ended up getting an EOS R8as a cheaper b cam and love that too. I'm considering selling the R8 for the z6 III so I can be in one ecosystem, but the R8 works perfectly for what I need and I don't think I won't. I don't shoot video in raw and kind of prefer the auto video settings that Canon spits out

For non professionals, this new body checks all the right boxes. It caters to all types of genre of shooting. To me, that bright EVF is a blessing.

Think I'll get it when travelling abroad, leaving the big brother for specific task only

@JosefFoti 10 дней назад

The camera looks absolutely amazing! I've left Nikon recently for Sony but now I kinda feel like coming back. I really like what Nikon have been doing recently, the Z8 is amazing and so are the S-line lenses. But... the screen again. I have the same style of screen on my A7 IV and I am definitely not a huge fan of it. Well, Nikon was quite loud about the new viewfinder but I haven't heard anything about the screen so I'm curious. How does it compare with the A7 IV in terms of brightness? The thing is, when I shoot a wedding or an event with my A7 IVs on dual camera straps, I tend to just turn the screen and have it on the camera body (otherwise I'm quite worried about the hinge when moving around) but then sometimes the issue is that from some very weird angles I can hardly see anything. Maybe if the screen was brighter, it would help a bit.

@rds990 13 дней назад

I am a long time Nikon pro . I shoot the Z8 and Z9 as well as the original Z6 (and still once in a while My D4). All used for different applications. This camera looks interesting to me ONLY from a video perspective (which I currently do not shoot). Video specs are terrific. I cannot see the benefit of an upgrade from my original Z6 to justify the $2500 bucks. Any shortfalls in the Z6 (like focus speed etc) can be handled by my Z8 and9. Obviously the brighter viewfinder is nice, as is faster focus, and tracking, and the increased shutter speed capability (yawn). All provide a small benefit, but none would win in a cost-benefit analysis. Hope it does well....just is not for me.

@ArsenijeRadenovic 4 дня назад

You can't see benefit of upgrade from Z6 because you have top tier cameras. Upgrade is significant from Z6II. I think this camera is not aimed at you. Btw I miss my D4, I regret selling it :(

@StefanoNobileFoto 12 дней назад

Finally, 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.

@JessDemant 13 дней назад

I've been around too long to be constantly hit by G.A.S., and one thing I know from experience, for me it's best to wait a few months after a product comes out before making up my mind. In addition, it will also pay off much better for me to have ice in my stomach, and wait for between one or two years before I buy. Because then the price is usually more reasonable, and you also know a little more about the faults/cons via several others serious photographers who are not paid by Nikon or are fanboys, because then it is easier to make the right decision .....
