Z6III

This may be to much camera for me. It has so many functions. When I reach out to Nikon help line, they are unable to help me. As an example I reached out for help to be able to download pictures, but no success. The help line spent an hour with me and then told me it was quitting time and he had to go. He may have tried to call back and I missed him. Still can't get my camera to connect via bluetooth or wifi. Also have difficulty getting it to focus on the subject I want.

The z6iii is an awsome camera. I have a z8 with a 600 pf lens and a 100-400 lens for closer shots. I purchased the z6iii with the idea I would put the 100-400 on it for closer shots. That is working well. Would love to see nikon ad the cycle AF mode to the custom controls section of the z6iii. When shooting wildlife, especially birds it is common to need to change your af mode quickly. The z8 has that feature and I use it often. Z6iii is an awsome camera for the price.

I am coming from a Z6ii and Z5, both of which were traded in toward this camera and a Z50ii (review pending).Because I am leaning increasingly toward wildlife and action photography, this camera represents a significant step up in obvious and not-so-obvious ways. That said, however, it more than suffices for my nature and landscape photography, as it will yours if 24 mp is sufficient.The obvious: greatly enhanced subject detection and “stickiness” of autofocus once the subject is acquired. GREATLY enhanced, and so very customizable.The less obvious: Button and dial customization are superb—simply superb—as are nuances of what can be accomplished through the menus: display settings, tailoring of autofocus, and ongoing.I was initially leery of the weight gain reported over the Z5 and Z6; I needn’t have been. The camera is very comfortable to hold and operate, with all controls falling quickly to hand. That it can be tailored to suit older generation button configurations is lovely, but users of other brands can similarly tweak settings to match. Too, the electronic shutter is quick enough that I routinely use it to capture wildlife action silently.The strap lug issue—getting in the way of the card door—is real, and is mind-boggling given Nikon's transcendent engineering in so many areas. I always use Black Rapid straps, so the strap lug is not utilized and comes off for my use, but a regular neck strap would absolutely require some careful maneuvering.Weather proofing was never an issue with my prior cameras, and did not see me intimidated by steady rain; this camera apparently is improved even over those. This is a robust, yet svelte and capable beast, though not so svelte as to leave large hands groping for a grip.I confess one slight disappointment, but only in relation to another same-generation camera: When focusing on birds amidst foliage, the Z50ii with its bird-specific focusing does regularly beat this one in its current, non-bird-specific state. I fully believe in the truth of the admonition that you purchase the camera as is, not counting on a firmware update. I am very pleased with my camera as is, and have not missed the cameras I traded in, both excellent in their own rights and fiscal strata. The Z6iii, however, will surely please yet more once it acquires the much-anticipated bird focus.Especially when a discount is offered, this camera is a superb value, and even when not on sale, as of July, 2025, represents the leading edge of its price domain across all brands.

The perfect camera for wildlife photography at a very affordable price. The autofocus is exceptional and the images are sharp. Just loving it!

This camera does it all. I am so pleased with my purchase. It is the right size and the right weight for me. If shoots some amazing photos and videos as well. Don't delay get yours today!

I purchased the first version Z6 when they became available. Now the BIG UPGRADE to Z6iii. I absolutely love it… thank you, Nikon!

I want from a Z6 to a Z6II, and not Z6III. This is a fantastic camera! The updates were much needed and welcome. The new screen design is a game changer for video.

A bit learning curve transitioning from a legacy D300s that I had for over a decade. Quite a few buttons have been moved. With all the great resources online and a bit of practice, I have got some great shots of my little one who just doesn't know how to stay still. The camera is fantastic!
