Nikon has finally unveiled the Z6 III full-frame mirrorless camera. It promises to upend the mid-range camera market for hybrid creators.
has finally arrived. Based on its features and performance, it appears that people’s patience has been rewarded in a big way.Versatility is a significant part of the Nikon Z6 III’s sales pitch. Nikon says the “mid-range” market — think Canon EOS R6 Mark II, Sony a7 IV, and the Fujifilm X-T5 — is booming and comprises nearly 60% of all revenue in the interchangeable lens camera space and an even greater percentage of cameras on a per-unit basis.
While highly performant, a fully stacked image sensor is also costly. Nikon says a partially stacked design offers some of the benefits of a stacked sensor without all the expense. These benefits include faster autofocus performance, reduced rolling shutter, a smoother electronic viewfinder experience, swifter shooting speeds, and expanded video modes with higher frame rates.
Speaking of “noise,” the Z6 III’s native ISO range is 100 to 64,000, tied for the highest native ISO in the Nikon Z system. The ISO can be expanded to 50-204,800.The Nikon Z6 III inherits much from its more expensive siblings, including its autofocus system. While some AF performance relies upon a fully stacked sensor, the Z6 III’s partially stacked chip promises blazing-fast autofocus.
For even more speed, there are C30, C60, and C120 modes to shoot full-resolution JPEG images with AF/AE tracking at 30, 60, and 120 fps. It is worth noting that the 120 fps mode includes a crop, although it is not quite a DX crop. The C120 drive mode captures 11-megapixel JPEGs.
