Nikon Z6

Pros: small size, excellent ergonomics, excellent electronic scope, sensor stabilizer, operational speed, image quality, high ISO hold, excellent additional functions such as focus peaking and focus stacking.

Cons: only XQD slot (although very fast support), lack of grip on the 5th radius for large hands (not my case), some possible improvements on functions such as multiple exposure (the images returned are JPG and no more RAW as on the D810, D750, D850).

Opinion: I am happy owner of this camera from March 2019 and I come from the D750 that I have used and loved for 4 years. I am a simple amateur who likes to take landscape photos so my opinion will not be complete, but I hope to be useful anyway. I would not have changed the D750 if the warranty had not expired and if it had not had the known recall problems for the shutter (well 2). The Z6 immediately impressed me in a positive way, in the hand by the feeling of being a sturdy machine, the keys are in the right place although in smaller number and in a slightly different position than the D750, but with a little practice they memorize well and I did not have dif adaptation. For larger hands may lack grip on the 5th finger but with an L bracket (Small ring seems to me the best) it solves the problem. The ISO button is really very useful and there are many functions customizable by dialing and FN buttons that allow you to better adapt the machine to your use. The electronic viewfinder at my startup is outstanding and I do not miss the pentaprism except in that small ignition delay as the machine is on stand by. The operating speed of the machine is amazing and the buffer really difficult to fill. The AF after the last update has definitely improved and the eye tracking really valid (I do not do sports or birdlife but for now I have limited myself to a few portraits to children and relatives). Really useful the software functions of focus peaking, focus stacking, and multiple exposure although in the latter case the fact that it no longer returns me a unique raw file but a jpg (as happened with the D750) annoys me quite a bit. The stabilizer seems to me to be really good. I used my kit (16-35 f/4, 24-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/4, Sigma 105 f/2.8 macro) with FTZ without any problem. Even if I don't miss it they could have made sure to have a second SD memory slot that would definitely make it more complete. Too bad for the screen that is partially and not 360 degrees. Battery brackets: the consumption for how I used the D750 (almost always live view for landscapes) is only slightly higher. It seems to me a valid machine overall, for what I would say excellent and with great potential for growth thanks to software evolutions. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase also because the dimensions (although not dramatically) and weights are significantly lower with native optics (still a few unfortunately).
