![]() | Nikon Z6 III Pros: Excellent performance even at high ISO, pre-burst, button customization, exceptional EVF in reproduction, both RAW and JPG image quality, color rendering, stabilization. In combination with the 28-400 you have an excellent all-rounder that is ideal for travel. Cons: EVF sensor that interferes with the use of the display in many situations. Poor battery life and incompatibility with batteries manufactured by third parties. Recessed front wheel, hard and uncomfortable. The vari-angle display looks very delicate. USB charging not working with all cables/power adapters. Relatively low resolution of the EVF when shooting. Two memory slots of different types and videos are not saved as a backup on the secondary. Upgradeable snap bridge software. Compressed RAW preview not yet integrated on MacOS. Opinion: I switched to the Z6III from a Canon 80D used predominantly with Tamron 16-300 for travel photography. Here are my impressions after a 2 week trip with a day of safari and about 3 months of use. Compared to the 80D I found it less comfortable, the position of the front wheel (compared to the upper position) I found very uncomfortable, aggravated by the fact that it is very hard and recessed. The sensor of the EVF is too sensitive and often interferes with the use of the menu from the display. It is possible to disable the automatic sensor, but it is inconvenient. On the Canon I have never had problems of this type. The camera behaves very well at high iso, up to 6400 iso the noise is very little and is acceptable even at higher values, on the 80D already exceeded 1600 iso it is a disaster. The pre-burst, despite the lack of RAW, is really a lot of fun and I was very satisfied. Continuous AF with animal tracking works well as long as the subject doesn't pass behind an obstacle, even in very small obstacles such as branches the camera loses focus and picks it up quite late. There are various options, maybe I didn't find the right combination. In combination with the 28-400 the camera tends to open as wide as possible by reducing the depth of field too much. The P mode was therefore not as practical and usable as with the 80D. For photos to be taken on the fly it may not be very effective and the eyepiece often does not allow you to effectively detect an inadequate depth of field. In combination with the 28-400 it has confirmed itself as an excellent travel camera that covers all needs. The loss of magnification compared to the 16-300 (i.e. 24-450 FF) is compensated for by better sharpness in almost all real-world situations. Obviously the FF has a greater weight than an APS-C, but at least as far as I'm concerned it's manageable even if at the limit (I wouldn't take anything heavier). Pre Burst and fast burst obviously generate a lot of files which makes the 24 megapixels suitable for those who make fairly long journeys allowing a good balance on the entire supply chain (SD, computer, physical storage, cloud storage). The battery life was disappointing, on a "long" day with the use of bursts, a bit of video and a "normal" use that does not care about energy saving with 2 batteries you get pulled at the end of the day. In the case of safari I think it is necessary to equip yourself with 3 or better 4 batteries. I am quite satisfied with the product and I believe that currently on the market there is no better system considering the combination lens / car for those who have to travel and do not want to carry more than one lens with them. sent on January 20, 2025 |
