Pros: Dynamic range, low-light capabilities, ergonomics, life-like colors

Cons: Battery life, EVF Sensor if not kept clean

Opinion: Having owned my Nikon Z6 since its arrival back in 2018, I continue to marvel and appreciate the many positives of this camera for my needs. It's lightweight, the colors are gorgeous and I really appreciate its low light capabilities at slower shutter speeds while hand held. A large part of that is also due to the IBIS in the camera, versus my ability to hold the camera fairly still when needed. The 24.5 megapixels is adequate for my needs and is another reason for the good low-light photography. My main purpose for this camera is primarily for landscape, portrait, still life, etc., photography. There have been two small weddings I did photography for and although I am not a professional wedding photographer, both the new married couple and I were very happy with the images produced from the wedding. I have never used or tried the video features. It is a quiet camera when it needs to be, like when I am shooting wildlife or street photography. My Z6 fits nicely in my hands. In terms of image quality, I find it very good. The colors are very lifelike and true to the images I am shooting. Sometimes very little processing/editing is needed. This was/is my first and only mirrorless camera but I can also add that my F-mount lenses work well on this camera with the FTZ adapter. For three and one-half years, I continue to enjoy photography when I use my Z6. I would consider a Z6II before a Z7 but I am also interested in the Z8.

Pros: Evf, display, dynamic range, high ISO seal, ergonomics,

Cons: Single slot (as far as I'm concerned), 30" exposure limit extended to 900" with the Z6II, Battery-grip without controls, Af in low light.

Opinion: Exceptional machine that gives many emotions. Ideal for those who do landscape, portraiture, street and, in conditions of not too much dynamism, it can also be adapted to a photographic hunt. The limit of the second slot can be felt according to personal needs: in my case the lack of makes you feel when I travel to places like Sudan or Egypt which, unfortunately, are difficult countries to take pictures: I happened to be stopped by the military and forced to delete photos ... Having a double slot you can make a backup and, if necessary, remove a card so as not to lose the shots. Another thing that can be greatly missed is a Battery-grip, especially if you do portraiture is a real shame. For those who do landscaping or astrophotography a limit that can be that of 30 "of exposure that with the Z6II have become 900". The latter case is to be considered more as an additional convenience than as a mere necessity given that until now and for many other brands the limit is 30". As for the Af I noticed that it suffers a lot with low light (although it also depends a lot on the optics actually). What is certain is that it is not an af from birdlife or photographic hunting, but it is not impossible to do this too. Let's remember that once they were done with roller machines, without maf, so I don't see why you can't do it with the Z6: is it more difficult than an R6 or Sony A7 IV that recognize even when you are about to go to the bathroom? Undoubtedly. But that doesn't make it impossible. For the IQ nothing to say: exceptional colors, dynamic range to be scary and holding at high ISO exceptional. In short, the Z6 is a versatile machine, it does great in almost all genres. It has flaws, for heaven's sake, but it is an extremely valid purchase in my opinion.

Pros: Evf, lcd, ergonomics, menu.

Cons: Low-light AF, single slot, exposure compensation button, few third-party lenses, no internal 10-bit video. I took it used to 800, but I would never pay 2000 and passes eur for certain objects.

Opinion: After 2 years of use I can say that I know it quite well. I have tried / had several cars in the same price range and the z6 is certainly the best done. It is a balanced machine and churns out excellent files. Evf excellent, when I switched from SLR to ml after not even half a day I got used to the electronic viewfinder. Large and quality touch display, intuitive menu, perfect ergonomics Despite being smaller and lighter than the d750 it has a top grip. Against All these great advances af side compared to SLRs I have not seen them. In optimal conditions the af is fine, but as soon as it goes down the light becomes less reliable. I find the position of the comp. exposure button uncomfortable. After two years I still can't catch him on the fly. Ridiculous the single slot , despite never having had problems with the xqd. Few third-party optics.

Pros: Battery life, iso, sensor, excellent stabilization, grip, tropicalization, viewfinder and display

Cons: AF compared to MKII and competitors, single slot

Opinion: I have been using two z6s for more than two years now and I have taken an infinite number of photos in different conditions. It is a reliable machine like all Nikon. The fact that newer models have much faster and more accurate AF doesn't mean that the z6 has an AF to throw away and that suddenly you can't work anymore. I photographed for years with the d800 and d810 and when I switched to mirrorless two years ago it felt like a spaceship. One of the things that worried me the most was the battery life of the mirrorless. Cabbage! With the z6 I got to make almost 1800 shots with a battery and mixed use of the viewfinder and display. The other thing is the digital viewfinder but as soon as I tried I fell in love, it does not seem to look at a digital viewfinder and does not tire the eyes at all. For sure when the time comes to change one of the two camera bodies, or both, I will probably also take the MKII or what will be there, but for the moment I think the z6 is a best buy, both between the new and the used.

Pros: It's a Nikon

Cons: It's not a Z9

Opinion: After more than 2 and a half years of use in the field I think it's time to leave a review on this beautiful Nikon. So much mistreated since the date of its announcement has, over the years, received various firmware that have upset it in many features and, in particular, I refer to firmware 2.0 and 3.0 (and subsequent minor updates). Qi at the highest levels for a 24 mpx sensor, always beautiful files ready in the room and that need only small adjustments in p.p. (do not underestimate the possibility of creating picture controls in the room according to your tastes). Never encountered overheating problems, also used in the cold at minus 23 degrees, with prolonged sessions during the (ten) cold Norwegian nights, it has never created problems of malfunction of electronics or anything else. 1 great all-rounder who does a little bit of everything well... sure... it is not the Z9 but for the price at which it was and is sold today difficult to ask for more. So much dynamic range and excellent resistance to other iso, in astrophotography, landscape and portraiture where it has never disappointed me. Construction as per Nikon tradition with excellent ergonomics and controls positioned in the right places. I have had, over time, the opportunity to use and try for long periods and sessions the competitors of the same range and price and there is no doubt that, if I had to go back, I would make the exact same choice. Even the famous xqd memories first and CF express then, so criticized for price and single slot issues, in the long run have proved to be a winning horse in my opinion: never given problems in their use (no type of malfunction, even temporary, I have never encountered) and never lost even a single photo. I think that, on this point, Nikon has seen us long, just think that today almost all machines, or at least those with certain characteristics focused on speed and video, use the CF express type B and without neglecting the speed of downloading photos on PC and the speed of emptying the buffer in the room. Menus as per Nikon tradition: easy, complete and intuitive. Battery capacity in the average of the reference range, battery grip (optional) without vertical controls (here, I will never understand this thing), info on evf or LCD in overabundance, evf colors always very natural. It clearly does not have the speed performance of machines that mount a stacked but this does not mean that, with a little practice and constancy, it is not possible to obtain excellent results also in other areas of photography. Right here in the galleries there are various examples of this. Very good connectivity side, use of the snapbridge app easy and intuitive. Leaving aside the first release, the app has always worked very well with stable and durable connection. Two tips for those who come from Nikon SLRs: the af works in a very different way and must be understood and experienced in the field (my learning curve here has been so long) and the viewfinder must first be endured, then you live together, finally you appreciate it for many aspects. On the operation with adapted optics I do not know having immediately used only and exclusively Z optics: honestly difficult to ask for more.
