Tony is just mad because he wasn’t invited by Nikon event for the Z6 III. People can’t comprehend that stacked sensor take a small hit. Regardless of manufacture. Look how bad the A9 III is vs A9 II, A1 too. That’s the nature of these sensors. But I think it mostly has to do with Nikons LOG that needs updating
Great stuff, good enough to convince me the partially stacked sensor of the Z6 III is no worse for DR against the older BSI ones. More importantly, this saves me from ever having to watch TN's videos :-P
Like yourself I have both the Z6II & Z6III. I've done one shoot so far with the newer Z6III with approx 2000 photos captured. I used the electronic shutter for every image ( it was an outdoor event ). Having edited the resultant images in Lightroom I didn't notice any issues regards dynamic range although I didn't need to recover any images as they were for the most part exposed correctly. Most of my shots were at base ISO 100 but I did quite a few up to ISO 500. Admittedly thats not particularly high and any modern sensor should cope with much higher ISO's and still get relatively clean results. I did watch Tony Northrop's video, I can't remember if he said if his Z6III shots were taken with the electronic or mechanical shutter. Would that make any difference anyway? All in all I'm a very satisfied Z6III owner, the AF seems as good as my Z9 and that unlimited 20fps buffer is incredible! If there is a dynamic range hit due to the part stacked sensor than I didn't notice it in real use but then again if I was shooting five stops out I'd have to question if photography is something I should even be doing in the first place 😊
If you want to improve Tony’s test methodology, please do it better not worse. Forget the remote, get two humans and put one under the sun and the other one in varying degrees of deep shadow. Thank you for trying 😊
Tony Northrup has already blocked my comments after I wrote some negative things about his reviews. This just shows that this man has an agenda and cannot be taken seriously.
This was helpful! I had a feeling the z6iii DR might be technically less but in practice not matter at all. Also in the DR charts that Tony used, at iso100, the z8 and z6iii are basically the same DR. (tho the z8 can go down to iso64 so it can get an overall DR advantage)
What a roller coaster week with a great ending. From this point whatever Nikon have done with this sensor it seems to have been the right choice with no compromise worth worrying about. Now if the high iso is less noisy than the Z8/9 then we have even more to be happy about.
Tony is struggling for relevance. He wants the clicks Thanks for you testing and info. I might add, that per the photos to photos testing, the Z6iii showed some of the best shadow recovery. Heads above any other Z line camera.
Tony N. has recently shown himself to be an un-serious person when it comes to review content and methodology. He's now released back to back Nikon reviews that come off more as hit-pieces.
Hallo Kelly! Ein richtig gutes Video! Wie immer mit Sachverstand und objektiv! Besten Dank!!! Ich warte leider immer noch auf meine Z 6III. Beste Grüße aus Deutschland!
Thank you for this Kelly. New sub here. I sold my Z6II before the III was launched so I couldn't 't do a side by side comparison. You did it for me. I haven't noticed any perceptible difference in image quality between the two cameras, noise wise or otherwise. Both are excellent. I will say that the Z6 III is a huge upgrade over the Z6 II for a sports action shooter.
