Z6III

I had recently had spinal fusion surgery and was advised not to carry anything over 4 or 5 pounds. My Z9 with a lens was way too heavy. This camera is 1.5 pounds without a lens - so I could carrry it. Then there is the quality of the camera and the pictures I get from it. It has many of the features I have come accustomed to with my Z9 - 3D capture, lock onto the eyes of my subject and ‘track’ them as long as I partially depress the. shutter release. Bought a 28-400mm lens for it, the perfect pairing. Now that I am past recovery, my wife has latched onto the Z 6iii - and loves it. Can’t say enough good things about it.

Outstanding versatility and image quality (stills and video).

I am just beginning to learn about it. Works well in less light. Significantly improved picture quality over my old compact sensor camera with the same number of megapixels. The new compact flash express memory cards are more expensive than the old sd, but the write speed is significantly quicker and does not stall the burst mode. I did not shoot indefinitely but 3 seconds throws down a lot of pictures. It has a secondary SD slot. It acquires focus quickly in adequate light. I like to use the single point of focus indicator, but the knob on the back moves it inadvertently. The front adjustment dial is too close to the power button, and large fingers turn it off when dialing the aperture. I am disappointed it does not come with a charger. My 20-watt USB chargers work, but at a longer time than indicated in the manual. It comes with one battery and I bought two more because all brands and models with live display use batteries more quickly than the old flip-up mirrors DSLRs we were used to.

The Z6-3 is a superb all around camera. In my opinion,the few items that need inclusion or change are: 1) the mode dial "lock" pin is a hindrance to user rapid response; 2) the "enable bluetooth" selection is not available to the "I" menu nor to customize buttons; 3) insufficient locations to store last used settings. The list of great things is far far longer since this is a powerful versatile device for the enthusiast, is a camera that will make an interested photographer into an enthusiast, and will be the camera that deserves to be always with you.

The Z6lll has been an excellent camera for wildlife and landscape photography. The speed of the camera at 14 fps does a great job for action shots of birds and other wildlife. Eye detection is amazing not only for people but also animals. It does just as good detecting birds but there should have been a firmware update for bird detection, especially since the new Z50ll has that feature.The Z6lll is an amazing camera.

I absolutely love this camera. I have owned Nikon cameras for the last 25 or so years starting with a Nikon D 80 and culminating with the Z6 III. Nikon has done a fantastic job On the Z6 III’s focus capabilities and speed. The camera’s ergonomics and handling are exceptional; the button placement has improved substantially; and the value for the features of the camera is outstanding. When developing the Z6 III, Nikon kept the same battery design so that you can use the batteries universally across most of Nikons’ full-frame cameras. I have sold my Nikon battery chargers—I charge the battery using the cable and adapter for an electrical outlet, or use a power bank; a plus for charging the battery in situations where I don’t have access to household electricity. The only improvement I would make to the Z6 III would be to include a specific bird mode in the menu system. I currently do nature photography, using the animal mode, and have not had any problems capturing birds in flight. However, I would feel more confident using the camera for birds-in-flight if there were a dedicated bird mode in the menu. Hopefully Nikon will correct this in a future firmware update. All-in all, this is a superb camera, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering whether they should buy it.

Very happy with my new camera, the z6iii. Like all new technology, it has to be mastered and practiced.It is so programable, I have 4 different focus methods at my finger tips. Thank you Nikon!

It has essentially become an extension of my hand since I bought it. Pictures are so crisp.

The AF is 100 times better than the Z6ii.Really only that nor really great is shooting verticals/portraits is a little awkward without a vertical grip until you get used to it New Z lenses are great !
