Z6III

The Z6III married to the 180-600 lens is the perfect combo for wildlife. Love Nikon...

I had a Z6 that I wanted to upgrade. Already have a Z9...the Z6 III is a perfect complement! Using the ZFS 2 adapter I can use all of my non-Z Nikon lenses, and with the Z mount lenses shooting is a snap. The autofocus features are solid and the one thing I REALLY LIKE about Nikon is that the buttons, dials, and menu features are the same across cameras making transition easy. It is fast, responsive, and a pleasure to use.

Just WOW!!! The Nikon Z 6iii is my very first foray into the Nikon family of bodies and lenses. I’m just a hobbyist, still trying to learn the art of photography. Having spent several years learning on a Canon Powershot G9 and Fuji XT2, this Z6iii makes capturing photos seem like cheating. Admittedly, I still have so incredibly much to learn about this fantastic system. But I am enjoying the journey! Thank you Dave at Camera Inn in Anniston, AL for your decades of experience boiled down into half a day educating me on the best system to fit my needs!

I love this camera, I came from a Z5 and this camera is a huge leap for me. I definitely recommend.

Many great features. Silent, which is great for wildlife photography. Hi FPS, but I cannot find how to set 20 FPS. Pre-capture, but would be better using RAW. Easy to switch settings with the quick menu. Articulating screen. I would give it five stars, but I would like a higher MP like the Z8. Also, why didn't it come with a manual? I struggle figuring out some things without the manual.

While it’s only been a few weeks since I started using my Z6 III, I’ve found its feature set, responsiveness, file quality and ergonomics to be very impressive. The brilliant viewfinder, custom-settings flexibility and S-line lenses are exceptionally noteworthy. (I started with the 14-120 f4.0 and 14-30 f4.0 for their optical quality, compact size and versatility.) I’ve been using M43 mirrorless cameras (mostly Olympus) for about 15 years and have been very pleased with them. However high-ISO, lowlight performance suffered because of the small sensor size. The Z6 III’s 35mm-size sensor fills this gap for me, allowing me to shoot under demanding lighting conditions. The Nikon and Olympus (OM-1) menus and controls are similar, so it hasn’t been a big leap switching from one to the other. (And there’s no rule that you can’t shoot with two systems!) Hopefully, this camera will prove to be as reliable and durable as the Nikons I owned in the film era.

Moving from my trusty D500 felt a bit unsettling at first, like saying goodbye to an old friend. However, my anxieties completely vanished the moment I started using the Nikon Z6III. This camera is truly fantastic – incredibly responsive and quick in action. I'm thoroughly impressed with all the advanced technology packed into it. It's almost nostalgic to recall the excitement when I first got my D500, a state-of-the-art camera boasting 11 frames per second. Now, the Z6III's continuous high-speed extended shooting with the electronic shutter reaches an astonishing 20 frames per second. This capability is absolutely brilliant for capturing those fleeting moments of birds in flight with incredible clarity and detail. The Z6III has not only met but exceeded my expectations, proving to be a worthy successor.

So far so good. I still have a lot to learn on this camera but it's really similar to the Z6 that I had. I'm impressed with the focusing ability, but I wish you hadn't messed with the menu. Functions like the multiple exposure mode were really difficult to find. Also, the playback works intermittently. I'm about to upgrade the firmware so maybe that bug will be fixed. I haven't had the amount of time I'd like to explore the camera more since I got it, but that will happen. In the meantime, it's gotten me some good shots with owls and birds and still objects.

Upgraded from a D5600 since I wanted better autofocus and more video performance. The Z6III has delivered both and much more! Of course, I expected a lot more given the design intent of the D5600 vs the Z6III, and I was not at all disappointed. That said, it is still way too early for me to do a proper review of this camera (only had it 3 weeks now) and there is so much to learn. I can say that it is hugely configurable and should suit everyone's tastes regarding setup. The picture quality is excellent, and I have not even shot it in low light yet. Noise levels in the shadows is superb (low). This camera is fast too. Very pleased so far. I held off on the 5th star because the default autofocus is not quite as fast as my Sony RX100 MK 7 (which is my personal autofocus standard), but I am encouraged that there are at least 2 parameters that can be set and which can affect this. Stay tuned!!
