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.

Pros: Great af, perfect ergonomics, very complete video modes

Cons: Shutter speed limit with electronic shutter flash. Files a little too "digital"

Opinion: A good camera, which does everything quite well without excelling in anything. Both raw and jpeg files are good but a little too "digital" (compared to d850, d780, d810). Let me explain: even working on lightroom, photoshop and more, the file remains a bit cold... impersonal. The limit to 1/60 second with the flash if I use an electronic shutter I find it too slow (the z9 seems to me to have it at 1/250) ... at least that's what I found. Excellent AF in all situations (even in the dark). On the video side very well (very complete and performing). Ultimately I would say good car but not excellent.

Pros: Autofocus speed, 8EV stabilizer, new processor, partially stacked sensor, excellent quality of raw and jpeg files, screen adjustable in all directions, solidity and tropicalization, fast burst, customization of functions, excellent EVF

Cons: Small details such as: multiple shots not programmable via the self-timer function, pre-shooting only in JPEG.

Opinion: New take, on launch offer, from a professional retailer, thanks to the excellent review that our Editor made on Juzaphoto and the praise of the Dpreview site, which gave the third edition of the Z6 a gold award. In both presentations of the new Nikon it was emphasized that the Z6III was not just another restyling, but a new product, with a new partially "stacked" sensor and a new processor (Expeed 7), capable of making this camera a real innovation in the Nikon ML scene. After a week of testing, I can confirm that this is the case: everything has improved compared to the Z6 and Z6II, especially from the point of view of autofocus speed and burst, for photos of wildlife, birds, action, sports. Stabilization up to 8 EV allows you to photograph in practically all light conditions and the quality of raw and jpeg files up to ISO 12800 is impeccable and still acceptable up to ISO 25600. The customization functions and innovative algorithms make the Z6III an extremely versatile camera for both the amateur photographer and the professional (who perhaps wants to combine it with one of the 2 flagships, which remain at the top of the Nikon kit). Excellent EVF. After an initial moment of disappointment, I realized, thanks to a post on a well-known American photo forum, that the energy saving function was activated in my camera. Once this function was deactivated, the EVF showed all its effectiveness, even better after some manual settings (+2 brightness, slightly warmer tones in the colors). Some digital noise remains in the viewfinder in low light conditions, but the end result in the photo taken is excellent: clean file with plenty of detail even in low light. Overall an amazing camera, to be studied well for the many functions added in the menu. Vote 10!

Pros: Viewfinder, autofocus, haptic feedback, performance

Cons: Articulated display, CF

Opinion: I come from the Z6 and the transition was quite important because even if the megapixels and the resistance to high ISO have remained almost unchanged, the whole outline has been updated a lot. First of all, the AF is finally an AF that practically always works. Of course it is not infallible but we are light years ahead of the first series. The camera body then enlarged a little and my large hands were very happy. Among other things, the feeling of solidity that it transmits is really great. The performances, if we talk about gusts and everything else, are really high and I think they are more than enough for the amateur and decent for the professional. The articulated screen doesn't drive me crazy, I'm honest, I preferred the one of the first and second series only tilting even if in vertical photos with a very low camera obviously this new one gives a nice hand. The last thing that surprised me is the viewfinder. It's fantastic, really. I love to photograph looking into the viewfinder and here comes the desire to never take it off! I didn't like the CF slot, I would have preferred a double SD slot also because with the SD that make today the CF are never indispensable and I would have left them only in pro bodies such as Z8 and Z9.
