Nikon Z6iii First Look Review For Wildlife And Bird Photographers

The Nikon Z6iii is here – and this is the review every wildlife and bird photographer is gonna want to see!

In this review, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the new camera: ergonomics, price, shipping date, the new sensor, ISO performance, buffer performance, frame rate, rolling shutter, viewfinder, viewfinder blackout, weather sealing, autofocus performance, pre-capture, subject detection performance, VR, AF low light capability, if 24MP is really a deal breaker, and of course, who should consider this camera. Whew.

And yes, I’ll even give you my take on the Z6iii for bird-in-flight photography (BIF).

In short, I worked hard to make sure this is the ONLY review you’ll need! 😀

Check it out – I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised with the Z6iii and it’s gonna be the next camera in my bag for sure!

Considering a mirrorless camera and was eyeing up a Z9, currently I use a D500 with great results so will a Z6III take me to another level in speed and quality?

Although I already own a Z9 and Z8, I enjoyed this video and will recommend it to new mirrorless photographers. As an aside, I’d love to know this location with many Spoonbills

Greets,
Had eagerly awaited details on this body. Now I have them, I really know I do not want one. So much for the vid shooter yet nothing just basic for me. Still these foolish cards and still no 5×4 format. Me, Novoflex rigs, stands / tripods, manual focus, stacking.
Should push the price of the Z 7 ii down though so not all bad.
Rgds.

Thank you for this video, Steve. Before I saw it I wanted the Z6iii, afterI saw it I wanted the Z6iii now! And I’m really happy with it, far happier than with my Z6ii.

Landscape and wildlife hobbyist, no revenue. 850 and 500, AF-S glass, 500 and 300 pf, 70-200, 28-70, others. What body to replace and are the ‘technology changes’ worth it with capture rate and low light/low noise.
