Pros: AF speed and accuracy, GPS, high ISO invariance, overall versatility
Cons: See notes
Opinion: I have had the D6 since October 2020, I come from the D4s. In my opinion the D4s is better in the design of the pentaprism (de gustibus!), and is better or comparable up to 10,000 ISO as image rendering, and above all it is very gradual in the loss of quality, so if at 10,000 ISO the image of the D4s is still excellent and in the natural order of things, at 50 iso it is really superb. On the other hand, the D6 "evens out" a bit of everything as if it were shooting at 1600-3200 ISO equivalent a bit over the entire range from 100 to 100,000 ISO and this is obviously fine at high sensitivities, but loses a bit at low speeds. Details, however: it is right that they are known but nothing transcendental. Where the D6 surpasses the D4s (moreover EXCELLENT camera and certainly the best purchase among the reflex cameras used now) is in the AF (greater sensitivity, points, coverage, responsiveness), in the versatility and ergonomics of some controls, and in the GPS (which for me should be standard on all professional cameras) Objectively the D6 is the best reflex ever made by Nikon, And this is paid for. That said, with the affirmation of mirrorless cameras (which often have advantages where people don't look for them, while in comparison with reflex cameras on AF the thing becomes more marginal), soon there will be D6 at very competitive prices, around 3000/3500 euros which was previously the price for a Z7II with battery pack or a D850 with lens. Despite this, on the other hand there is that although the Z's are supplanting the reflexes, there are few D6s around and the price will still drop more slowly than other models, which are depreciating a lot. Where I understand that those who approach photography are encouraged to choose the Z for a whole series of reasons (Z9 in the first place), coming from many years spent with reflex cameras, instead of selling everything I decided to put to good use the kit I already have (which is already excellent) and not go looking for the latest novelty at all costs just for the fun of it. I'm already covered for whatever I have to do, from 15 to 500mm and the D6 handles both AF and MF lenses very well. Where with 1500 € available the D4s is the obligatory choice, with 4000 € the D6 (used) is a dream camera now much more accessible and appetizing than the excellent Z9 (from 5000/5500 euros new, to which must be added 200/250 € for FTZ adapter if one has reflex lenses to mount, or good money must be spent on the new Z lenses. I have standardized boards and batteries with the D4s so I have remained on the same EN-EL18C and XQD boards that for me are more than sufficient and cheap compared to the CF Express, infinitely larger (even too much for me) but also more expensive. |
