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.

Pros: Dynamic range, grip, intuitiveness

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: After about 3/4 years with another Brand, I returned to Nikon.It was like coming home, always used to photograph with Nikon, I immediately managed to find the same sensations / Feeling that I had with the SLRs of the "yellow house". Coming to the so I appreciated the dynamic range of the machine, the files once set properly come out practically already affixed, they need very little PP. The controls are placed in the right place, they make it very easy to "work". At the current price and with the immediate discount at the checkout, it becomes a bargain!!!

Pros: Construction, ergonomics, sensor (ISO, dynamic range), EVF and LCD screen, IBIS, menu, lens compatibility (Z, FTZ and draft), weight

Cons: 1 x XQD, commandless grip, sometimes WB and automatic viewfinder brightness, not innovative compared to the competition

Opinion: Starting from the construction quality, the teardown of lensrentals speaks clearly: robust, gaskets everywhere, an ML designed properly (I would add: except for the external tires, which unfortunately tend to spoil themselves too easily). The ergonomics are very good, the deep handle makes the grip firm, but for those with medium-large hands, it improves when used with an arca-swiss plate with the "extension cord" of the handle or with the grip (which unfortunately does not replicate any buttons, unlike the grip for the Z6/7 II). The unique XQD/CFExpress slot is, in my opinion, a potential impediment to professional use, however reliable such cards are (and also very fast ... and very expensive). The USB C interface and the ability to charge the EN-EL15B/C in-camera (unfortunately only on the II series you can charge while in use), as well as WI-FI/BLUETOOTH connectivity, are definitely an added value. The EVF, to which I had enormous prejudices, has instead proved to be a great friend: now I believe that the advantages over the optical viewfinder far outweigh its disadvantages. The sensor is exceptional, churns out wonderful files, with impressive high iso seal and dynamic range. The mechanical shutter is very quiet, but there is also the possibility to use it in fully electronic mode, which can come in handy on many occasions (remembering, however, the risk of banding with some light sources). It works great with FTZ and F-mount optics (Nikkor and recent third-party lenses, unfortunately some older non-Nikon lenses give problems) adding not only stabilization to all, but also maximum accuracy in MAF, manual optics included (I assigned the zoom to 200% which is very useful when working on large openings, then there is obviously also the useful but not perfect focus peaking). Note: Focus confirmation does not work with all manual lenses, such as Zeiss ZF.2 implement AI-P "protocols" and do not communicate distance, so you won't have the indicator. The MAF in poor light conditions does not convince me much, but by enabling the appropriate option, the situation improves (although it suffers a somewhat marked slowdown). Eye detection works well, but not at Sony levels. I would have liked eye detection even in MF mode, it would be very useful with manual optics, as it would allow you to zoom directly on the subject's eye and focus (avoiding making the rounds of all maf points). The AF-C in car mode works surprisingly well, tested with both the 70-200 2.8 G2 Tamron and the 200-500 (which does not shine for AF and is an F5.6), gave me satisfaction (of course, we are not at the levels of a flagship or a D500.. and then there is the EVF lag). The Z optics surprised me positively: I have the excellent 24-70 F4 S and 50 1.8 S and soon I will add the 14-30 and the 85. Let's also remember that the era of "Z Mount" lenses has just begun. In addition, the 16 mm pull makes the Z series ideal for having fun with vintage optics (making them stabilized and having the opportunity to focus with maximum precision). The lack of some buttons that I had become accustomed to on the D8XX series, is compensated by the highly customizable menu: "i" button and the ability to recall 12 functions, customizable "REC" button in "photo" mode etc. They say it's great for the video department too, but it's not my field and I don't have the skills to express myself. The battery, when used with "criterion" (preferring use in "viewfinder priority"), has a very good life in my opinion for an ML (the EN-EL15C that I took apart further improves autonomy, the about 400 more mah feel). All in all I consider the Z6 a very successful ML and able to give great satisfaction. Grade 9+.

Pros: It has everything you could want on a camera.

Cons: Practically nothing

Opinion: Great viewfinder, great dynamic range, great response to high iso, in short, a camera designed in large. Bought then right now make a big deal. A brief comment on the second memory slot that is not there, amateur photos are no use doing the back up on a second tab of the shots taken and I can still get to know a professional who lost his files on a z6. Good light at all

Pros: Wonderful camera.

Cons: Nothing for a photoadamator. One slot for professionals.

Opinion: I've had it for a few months now and I've done the update. It's a great camera! I'm only using it with the 24-70mm f4 and it's really fun and handy. Very sharp and detailed file, even too much. The color comes out after the RAW PP in an incredible way. The focus even in the dark is perfect. The battery lasts a long time. The registration buffet is very fast. The weight is low. The viewfinder is incredible. When I got a few photos wrong it was just for white balance, but out of 1000 I'll have wrong 3-4. It is a camera to recommend; I don't know what differences there are with the new Z6II but with the falling price it is to buy. Update: I realized that the photos with the wrong bw were made with nd Gobe filter, so it has nothing to do with the camera.

Pros: All

Cons: I still don't know

Opinion: I hadn't photographed (for good) for twenty years, after doing it with passion for almost thirty years, and I filmed following the gift received of a small mirrorless Sony, a6000 with a pair of optics. Imagine those movies where someone is catapulted from the past, for a mysterious reason, and finds himself in a current and completely different world.... I felt a little bit like that. Photographing with new technologies, compared to the film machines I used, has revived my passion. After a while, though, I realized that the kind of soap they had given me had some limitations. I decided to retool myself a little more conveniently. The first machine considered was Sony a7III. Excellent camera for my needs, but that didn't distract me from the idea of having another bar of soap in my hand. Great throughout Sony, but no feeling. I tried a friend's mirrorless Canon, but it gave me the idea that it gave me a little less than the Sony a7III (completely personal idea) and still with this camera no particular feeling. This lack of feeling with the Canons is the same as I experienced in the 90s when I considered them, nothing to compare for the quality, but they never felt well in my hand. And then it happened, I saw her and I was very impressed. Nikonista for all my thirty years of photographic practice, I crossed the Z6. Very different camera from the film reflexes I used and yet... it seems meant to be used by me. Nikon 100%, sturdy, exceptional sight, first optical 24-70 f/4 simply amazing (even for the price in kit). You will understand that mine is not a real opinion... mine is the display of a love, a real lightning strike. Twenty years ago all Nikon cameras were constantly in my wish, even though I had several. Today, even since I'm not a kid anymore, I can only confirm that it will be so for life.

Pros: Sight, autofocus, build quality.

Cons: Optical blockage, overly expensive memory cards.

Opinion: After a lifetime with Nikon reflexes, I took the plunge. I've been using it for over a year, and I'm excited about it. Exceptional sight, lightning autofocus,the quality of the files is superb, even to the high ISO, (I did not go beyond 8000) aesthetics and build quality are once again what impresses Nikon's home. Weights and sizes are significantly lower than the DSRS of the same segment. The batteries have a good hold, with normal use, you can safely end the day. In my opinion, the only negative notes, are the XQD card that cost an exaggeration, and the blocking of the lens in the rest, after so many months that I use it, I have not yet gotten used to it. At the moment there are not many optics available, but in a short time new releases are expected. A choice I would make without a net.

Pros: Image quality, ISO seal, build quality, viewfinder, autofocus

Cons: Nikon lens cost and no third-party products

Opinion: I needed a second body (after selling the excellent D750) and I was about to take the D780, but in the end I took the Z6 for lack of fun and curiosity. I do not deal with video so I limit myself to the photographic sector : The machine is solid and built with excellent materials, and compared to the Sony A7 III (which I got to try), it has a better ergonomics. Although I do not have big hands, I feel better with a body that has more room for grip and buttons. The viewfinder is excellent as the operational speed and clarity of the menus, while the rear display is one of the best I've ever seen! Another really impressive aspect (I come from the D750 and I own a D850) is the image quality, which I got to compare to Sony and Lumix on several occasions with my friends. (A7 III and Lumix S1). In fact you can quibble about personal preferences, optics and many other things, but we are in any case at the highest levels for 24x36 24 mpx sensors. The seal up to ISO 8000 is amazing, as is the range and the possibility of recovery in pp. As for the rest, the web is full of reviews and tests so I don't want to add anything else. Having made comparisons with other brands in person has given me empirical proof of the very high level of the product, and that's enough and it advances. The only problem with this machine is that the nikon Z lenses cost too much (okay for 2.8 zooms and noct 0.95, but the others?) to the same features with other brands, and also there are no third-party products (or am I wrong?) I will add more considerations over time.

Pros: Superlative viewfinder, focus speed, precision, responsiveness.

Cons: When I find them I write them to you

Opinion: Finally came this beautiful little girl, performance beyond all expectations (at least for me that I come from D7200). I have no other means of comparison with other full frame mirrorless, but compared to the mirrored d7200 this without mirror allows me to focus more on the compositions forgetting about so many other things that she does well for me.

Pros: Weight (compared to SLR), fantastic viewfinder, 24mpx, FX sensor, autofocus worthy of the best Nikon home reflex that I have or have had, very workable file, shooting speed.

Cons: Lack of a BG, autonomy, single slot.

Opinion: Beyond all expectations, it was love at first sight. After reading and hearing so many skeptical comments I was sincerely afraid to take the step, considering also that 90% of the use I make is in birdlife. Instead, I had to think again right away. The AF in my opinion has nothing to envy to that of the d500 if set for the use that en we want to do, if you think you can use the center point with subjects in flight forget it if you are not able to keep the subject really in the center of the frame. Do not be afraid to use all the AF points, here they really work and the subject is hooked quickly and accurately and safely. The viewfinder is fantastic, you have to try it, it is not the usual TV is an OLED viewfinder, bright, wide, imperceptible latency, being able to see the photos before taking them is priceless, to be able to see them later without glasses up close and in the midday sun is the maximum. Light but not so much, from a feeling of robustness that is found only in level bodies, safe grip even with large-caliber optics, in short it is not the usual soap that one imagines. Well-arranged keys even if sincerely you feel the lack of the af lever, I solved by programming an FN key that however I would have preferred on the back. The 2 really important flaws are the absence of a grip x the vertical and an SD slot that would have allowed you not to faint with the XQDs. For the rest, the battery lasts half as long as the reflexes but the scotto of many improvements you have to somehow pay for it. The file is simply perfect, excellent seal to noise, whites finally well tamed that in the Nikon house is a bit of a novelty, excellent dynamic, opening shadows at the top. I assure you that my judgments are really those of one who uses machines, I learned at my own expense not to listen to anyone, my negative reviews on the d500 at the time generated a hornet's nest but then after the initial euphoria many gave me right. So without wanting to influence anyone in my opinion this time the yellow/black house has really done a job with flakes and this can only please me.

Pros: All. Precise focus and Fast. Robustness body body ergonomics machine.

Cons: Battery maybe otherwise nothing

Opinion: I come from the Reflex, which I still have of course. This machine has revolutionized the way we photograph. The menu is simpler and more intuitive. Great sight, superb hand-in-hand, so I can't help but recommend it. Exceptional iso rendering , headboard with lights almost zero and with difficulty of focus and the success has always been excellent.

Pros: Pro

Cons: It can only get better.

Opinion: Arrived in kit with the 24/70 s F4 that say if not to reiterate the positive comments made so far, I updated the firmware to 3. The first thing that surprised me was the viewfinder , really great does not look like a monitors approach to that of a light reflex and I do not find it at least for now tiring beautiful really. I don't know yet. The weight although less than the d850 that I still thought less but definitely is very handy to carry around. Customization at the highest levels really Top.Now I just have to shoot to try the files. I didn't think the first ML Nikon was so beautiful in everything, I will not fail to update you, to the next one. Dismantling the menu by making test photos having the monitor always on with a fully charged battery I made about 500 photos and I still have 40 % so I think the problem of the battery is not so serious ,what bothered me the most is the take off the card from the door, you have little room to grab it as it should, it will be that I have big hands. Another thing that bothers me a little is the wheel that I use to change the diaphragm too close to the ignition switch,sometimes I turned off the machine, but I repeat maybe I have a little hand. For now, this is the first approach.

Pros: I think the best mirrorless, period!

Cons: None for the product type. Needless to say "battery life" or slow ignition compared to the reflex, a few shots or other and blah blah blah. It's mirrorless! With the pros and cons of the type of product (as the reflexes have theirs accordingly).

Opinion: I was lucky enough to test it at a Nikon event in Catania with the 24-70 f4. It is a fabulous stain for both ergonomics, quality of materials, image quality etc. Nothing to envy to competitors, besides I made a comparison on various websites with other Nikon reflexes and other cameras of other brands and I saw that in the low ISO holds up to about 3200 as sharpness.... You do it.... I found this kind of estate in the now historic Nikon d3s... 12mpx..... 24.5mpx of the z6. An xqd slot? I understand security but it's not a sd is an xqd.... also larger buffer of the sd (see burst with RAW - JPEG). The same things are found at other shores at lower prices or at the same price we have more?.... I don't know... In my parts it says "so much spend, so much you have" is the same when for some sensors (in my opinion) it is better to put indoor and quality optics and not of other type (although "goodies") as much cheaper. Even in that case "so much spend, so much you have" does not exist at the same price I get more (maybe good results there is but of ... or even as I hear "I spend less and I get a plus"....), there is always a downside and one notices when he actually tests the product in the one for which it was designed and with the proper optics. But of course, I would like to point out, everything written above is just a pure and simple personal opinion.

Pros: Machine good for everything, manageable and in step with technology 2018

Cons: It has nothing more than the competition, indeed, less.

Opinion: The Z6 is in all respects a good machine, if you buy it you get EVERYTHING: quality, handling, precision, speed. Too bad that the other mirrorless of the same price offer, like the sony, something extra, despite having come out earlier! I say this from Nikonista so do not hate me, try, as I did, 3 mirrorless of equal range price and then decide. In any case the machine is performing and its files are fantastic. To date, 2020, I would buy it with my eyes closed but at 1200euro new. I also talked about this in my channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbIdp3DUDqB-C1Aqn9KMAXQ/

Pros: files, sharpness, ergonomics, high iso.

Cons: battery life

Opinion: I took nikon z6 after a long trail of nikon reflex,d700,d800e,d750, and d850 in fact the z6 I keep it in pair with my d850, fantastic machine, really great files x quality, sharpness, dynamic range, and held to very high iso, I use it to take fashion photos and architecture predominantly, and does not disappoint at all, excellent even combined with studio flashes, does his work and I was definitely amazed, I was schettico of mirrorles, now no indeed I am promirrorles and maybe even between two or three rings I could use only mirrorles, REALLY TOP machine.

Pros: Mirrorless

Cons: Battery

Opinion: As soon as I bought the z6 I sold the d750...... I immediately fell in love with this mirrorless and I preferred to keep only the d3s said this, I don't give a damn about the only slot. I brought home services with my d700 without any problem, I will do it now with the z6. Seeing inside the mirono is an emotion. nikon quality, you feel at home nikon, same menu and ergonomics that other brands dream of. As the first mirrorless model, nikon did things in style. The xqds tested with d850 and d5 are exceptional, ultrafast, and perfect for continuous shots, even z6 is equipped with this technology, which makes it faster. Mirrorless have the ability to have the ability to focus on the whole frame, as well as the ability to see live inside the viewfinder what will then be the final image and this, giving the possibility to work better. Mirrorless is consuming. Now we are at update 3.0 and I have to say that everything has improved even the autofocus that every now and then could give some problem. good research. If you want 2 slots and a longer battery life.... There are other brends If you have nikon type g kit (castrato without diaphragms ring ) and you have your beloved d700, treat yourself to the convenience of this ultra-technological and perfect NIKON mirrorless for everything.

Pros: File, Iso, dynamic range, colors, handle, menu, FTZ

Cons: AF/AFC with fast-moving subjects

Opinion: I bought the Z6 now in October 2019, so after a few months, and various fw updates, I think I can give an opinion. I leave immediately with the above con. For me that I do mainly naturalistic, with the AF and moving subjects we are not yet up to sony (I also use sony), this must be admitted. Improvements have been made but the tracking still does not work optimally (I reserve to try the FW 3.00 well). Then for goodness' sake, the shot with a good dose of handle, and the right settings, you take it home, but the percentages of out-of-focus remain quite high. With semi-static subjects and landscape photography, however, the problems do not exist. I find really good high iso files with very low noise and controllable in PP, and a fantastic GD! A mention I want to make to the FTZ with which I do not experience any kind of sharpness leaks or slowdowns of focus with F mount optics. My canvases work egregiously. Nothing to report regarding the intuitiveness of the classic nikon menu. Handle and body that I find beautiful. The eye-focus, for the use I make of it, works well. A parenthesis on Z optics that I still refuse to buy because of the prices too high. Ultimately I find the Z6 a balanced and excellently crafted ML and with still (hopefully) possible improvements via FW. An ML that I highly recommend to try and buy. Personally before the purchase of Z optics I would like nikon to pull out a ML pro, then yes I will probably make the full jump to the new system. At the moment I keep my D500 for birdlife as a second body. Update on use with Fw 3.00: From the tests carried out, unfortunately, with subjects moving fast/erratic, we are not there yet. tracking fails to keep up with the subject. otherwise I did not notice any notable improvements in the use of the AF. The only positive note of the update, in my opinion, is the ability to assign tracking to the dedicated button.

Pros: Construction quality as per tradition Nikon, Sight, Estate Iso, Image Quality, Simple menu for those who come from Reflex Nikon. Cons: Poor battery life, autofocus not lightning with FTZ.

Cons: Poor battery life, autofocus not lightning with FTZ.

Opinion: I've been using the Z6 for about a month now and I'm really pleased with it, especially after firmware update 2.20. I must say that it takes a bit of practice to understand the behavior of The Af points, different from the Reflex Nikon that I have used until now Let's talk about the viewfinder that is very bright and practical (all functions are clearly visible) even for those who, like me wear glasses. The stabilization in the camera is very valid, combined with the hold to the high iso allows to photograph almost in the dark (freehand I photographed a chapel immersed in a semi-darkness almost total with time of 1/10 To 10000 ISO with surprising results as well as birds in swamp with low light with times of 1/60 1/80 of a second).AF eye and precise face without problems. I tried to make a couple of videos with the setting of the car and they seemed good, but I'm not an amateur video, so mine is not the judgment of an expert. I had heard that the Z6 is not suitable for birdlife. I didn't think it was coming back to me, because I thought Nikon couldn't launch a car with a 12-ft-sec burst. not suitable for this type of photo, which I practice at 90%. After several attempts you can safely take pictures of birds in flight, the only difficulty is to focus when the subject does not detach sharply from the background (e.g. a reed). Precisely I use the FTZ paired with the Nikkor 300 mm f4 (with the 1.4 duplicator focuses only static subjects). With the Z 24/70 mm f4 I photographed the Sule dive, so I think when there is a tele Z will be solved all the problems. In conclusion a great machine that will not have the speed in AF of other machines but I keep the natural colors of Nikon!

Pros: Compactness, good quality of the kit's 24-70 lens, impressive burst, understandable menu, very good viewfinder screen, discreet key customization, touch screen quality, high iso hold, raw file quality and even remarkable jpg, good battery life (using airplane mode and without tinkering so much in live view).

Cons: Even after firmware 3.0 Af eye and af face discreet but inaccurate, AF-C with poor light worse than the 750, AF-C tracking improved with firmware 3.0 but often does what it wants. With fast-moving objects struggling, he forces monstrous gusts in the hope of taking home a few shots. contactless battery grip for portrait shot.

Opinion: Edit with firmware 3.0 - I watered the Z6 in November 2019 and made it in 7 days for AF-C issues in particular. Clearly everyone has their own way of photographing and also their own kind of photography so not everyone has the same needs, I do mainly portrait/events but I want a body that is in step with the times in terms of focus if I happen some fast splinter. With the 3.0 firmware that I was able to test recently, things have improved a lot compared to the previous one, especially as ergonomics. Unfortunately, however, I have to say that the module of AF-C has not improved particularly for moving subjects, there are a lot of shots that turn out to be false positives seeing them then on pc. The focus then as an AF-C module is ballerina, it is good with stationary or almost, subjects in which maybe it is the photographer who moves, or the subject that makes slight movements, but it is honestly unpleasant when it comes to subjects in rapid motion, where unfortunately the percentage of shots in focus is low, even if the machine indicates the opposite in the shooting phase. Face traking and eye detection work a little better than tracking, but they're still pretty inaccurate when it comes to fast movements. I got to try the Sony A7III and the AF-C focus module is indibbally much better, there is little to do. As iso seal is very valid, the quality of the crosshairs is excellent, battery durability excellent if you do not abuse the live view. I didn't try the video compartment.

Pros: Ergonomics, high ISO hold, battery, dynamic range, Z optical quality, viewfinder, snap bridge, ftz adapter

Cons: To evaluate autofocus

Opinion: I have owned the car for a few days, but the first impression is great. From the few tests I have done it seems to me that the files are excellent, with very wide dynamic range and excellent hold at high ISO, it seems to me definitely superior even to the D750 from which I come. Excellent ergonomics, the transition from a previous Nikon reflex is totally painless; The touch interface is also extremely intuitive and immediate. The construction is great. The crosshairs don't make me regret the slit. The Z optics I bought in kit (24-70 f4 and 14-30 f4) are exceptionally compact and performing, a dream to be lightened with such high quality material. The only reservation is on continuous autofocus, which I have not yet been able to test properly. Very pleased with the switch to mirrorless, despite the many doubts I had.

Pros: Robust, Excellent Grip, Dynamic Range, High Iso Yield, Gust, Setting Speed, Battery Life to Be an ML, Button Customization.

Cons: Less fast than a reflex in moving the focus points, a single XQD.

Opinion: I come from a D7200, but I had the opportunity to work very often with a D750. I have to say that although the first month I was desperate and wanted to change it, in the second month I got used to everything and I would not go back. The machine is sturdy, has a beautiful grip to be an ML, better than many other competitors and a viewfinder that is spectacular. The battery life is great, I had a wedding and each battery took home about 750 shots. It has a very high dynamic range and even at high Iso behaves very well, I made shots at 5000 iso that are still extremely sharp. The XQD is very expensive, but I must say that the burst practically does not buffer and even the pc import is immediate. Improved wi-fi management for shooting and importing live photos. I use this machine with a tamron 24-70 G2 and adapter, but also optics like the 35mm Z and I have to say that the z optics are better for sharpness all over the frame, but the adapter is very robust and does not scare me as I initially thought; if you don't have z-optics as in my beginnings with this machine, you don't mind, it's glued to the machine and has no minimal games! The only downside of the adapter is the two cm of ledge. Too bad for one XQD, but it doesn't scare me too much after hearing them in my hand. The joistick for moving the focus points could be a little more responsive, I hope of the next firmware release, because then with all the automations of AF that you can set, I do not find any difficulty, except with the recognition of the face with optics wide-angle, though predictable. I'd say as Nikon's entry into mL... Great even if they put us!!!!

Pros: Aesthetics, handling and lightness in a body that really give sense of solidity, high iso hold, objective compatibility, nikon menu.

Cons: Battery life.

Opinion: I own the Z6 from November 2018, alongside my D750, and I have to say that I feel absolutely fine. I don't do birdlife or even sports so for me the autofocus is exceptional both in broad daylight and at night, very fast. No problem for the handle with an absolutely good ergonomics. The 24-70 f4 kit zoom is fantastic and crisp. You can change the on-camera shooting settings while framing the scene. Fantastic sight especially in poor light. The XQD cards are true that they are expensive but on the other hand they are very reliable and anyway we talk about a short compatibility with the CFExpress standard. I find the white balance very sensitive in the sense that to get the real colors if it is cloudy you have to set the WB to cloudy, if the subject is in shadow WB on shadow and so on, with the D750 WB positioned in "natural car light" and in any situation the colors n on are altered, all this only with regard to getting a jpg immediately usable, I always photograph in raw-jpg and therefore the problem for me is overcome. As for the battery life (unfortunately the electronics consume it quickly) while using the only sight I so far I have not managed to make more than 300/350 shots, I am not a professional and so for me this is not a problem, if I'm on vacation all I'm going to charge you the night. For me the Z6 is absolutely great.

Pros: Workable files, good white balance in the car, excellent high iso yield. Ergonomics, menu and classic Nikon feel then almost zero adaptation time coming from reflex of the same house.

Cons: Inconsistency AF in afc and tracking, false positives in afs, face detetct equally inconstant. single slot.

Opinion: my term of comparison is the d750 that I have been using for 3 years with extreme satisfaction. I bought this summer the z6 taking advantage of the cashback, the curiosity to try it was a lot. Well, if on the one hand we have a very good sensor that returns beautiful colors and good rows even at high iso (better even than the d750 both as a holding of the dynamic range and in terms of noise of chroma and luminance) on the other side we have a machine absolutely unreliable for work use due to AF. my use is mainly reportage (both in ambient light and with the help of flash) and I have to say that several times I found myself having to store it (in the evening and in soft light situations) and to continue the work with the d750. Many times when in afs returned green square confirmation had actually focused behind or forward (and we know well that with ML and native lenses is not allowed front/back focus, so it is just false positive). With d750, and in afc, I have the certainty to always take home the shot and if the machine gives me the confirmation of the fire I am sure that that area is in focus x really (relative error of F/b focus aside). I paired it with its 24-70 f2.8 s, so it certainly wasn't the lens matched the problem. I will definitely resell it in favor of a d850 and keep the 24-70s (great zoom, very sharp) waiting for an ML product finally mature. The path taken by Nikon is definitely the right one (remember everyone that Sony took several generations between aps-c and ff before producing really reliable machines?). However, the Af must be consistent, precise and far more than the current one (-2ev declared). 24/10/19 update: the machine (in case of poor light and in afs) never prefers the assist light of the sled flash mounted on it but always uses only the green side lin (which with the use of zoom or large fixed is really ineffective). It is precisely the ML that deliberately excludes the assist light because having fire technology other than that reflex would not have any benefit with that type of red lamp. You have to wait for them to produce a dedicated flash with assist lamp dedicated to ML.

Pros: Sensor, high iso seal, viewfinder, AF precision in AFS

Cons: AF for dynamic photos inconstant - bad ergonomics with long optics

Opinion: I come from nikon d750 with sigma 24-105 f4, sigma 70-200 f2.8 OS and sigma 150-600 contemporary and fuji xe3. Since I was comfortable with the mirrorless I decided to sell fuji, d750 and sigma 24-105. I took in their place a z6 with its 24-70 f4 and adapter. Positive adpet File quality, made high iso, Af very fast with the 24-70 and precise , excellent viewfinder, good ergonomics with the 24-70 F4. Great stabilizer Of the double slot little i cared. On the D750 the second slot I always used only as an extra memory. As soon as one finished, the car saved the photos on the other. It's all good with long optics. Negatives: Bad ergonomics with long optics (ok, the battery grip will come out but it does not have the vertical button, and this we could imagine since below there are no contacts – patience you knew right away that the contacts below are not there) Af for dynamic photo. A world yet to be discovered. I often take photos in motorsport and struggle to follow the subject. He catches fire, holds it, sometimes loses it, then takes it back. Surely I'm going to miss the settings. As I wrote it's all to study and find out. Or maybe with long native optics will be a whole other aspect (although I guess they will cost a tombola)

Pros: Sensor, WB, lightness and handling on the go

Cons: Cost, expensive memories, low grip,

Opinion: Taken to replace the D800 and have a lighter travel kit I have no reason to regret the choice. Apart from the very high cost to be a camera with a non-record sensor like the D850. The body is well designed and the controls, especially for a nikonista, are well organized. The switch from the reflex is practically immediate apart from devoting yourself to reading the full-bodied manual to identify the various functions and customizations specific to a mirrorless. It has the defect of having a handle a little low, I solved by taking an additional sideburn that made me gain that centimeter in height that makes it perfect. In this it was more forward-thinking Canon who immediately provided an additional base. The viewfinder is excellent, certainly improveable, but already today offers a good experience and a reliable vision (but I do not practice avifauna nor extreme sports photography ). The battery has a good range, but it is advisable to have a spare one if you want to be comfortable on the go. The FTZ makes all Nikon AF-S lenses usable, some incompatibilities you may have with some third-party series that have been partially resolved with firmware updates. Fast and reliable XQD memory, too bad for the cost not really popular.

Pros: High iso hold, white balance, customization, size and weight, ergonomics in general, optical sight

Cons: no real cons. Perhaps the only flaw is that the low-cost remotes I use with D750 don't work

Opinion: I have owned the Z6 for 3 months and now I have tried it in all kinds of photography, it has always behaved very well. The first thing that is striking is the hold at the high iso (which I particularly care about) and is much better than the D750 (which is still good). The optical viewfinder is excellent and I do not regret that of a reflex. Batteries, if the machine is used with the sight, takes over 600 shots. If you then take off the stabilizer on the sensor even more. The reflex optics work great perhaps better than the SLRs. Third-party parties need the firmware update. The menu is intuitive and very customizable. The settings can also be changed while looking in the crosshairs. In Z6 there is all the typical Nikon quality

Pros: lightness, robustness, stabilization, Z mount, AF, ergonomics, video, EVF sight, total compatibility with F Mount, ISO,focus peaking, focus stacking, timelapse

Cons: XQD cards (reliable but expensive), video logs not in the room, not being able to load it while using

Opinion: Bought just over a month ago. I come from D300, the technological difference is so much in favor of the Z6, of course, but it still does not make me regret the typical characteristics of a reflex. I read a lot before choosing and I have to say that in practical use has little to envy to direct rivals (type sony), still not at the level, but for some features and uses is even superior. The battery has never given me particular problems of durability, the mirrorless we know that because of the use of EVF and Monitor consume more, but coming from reflex and accustomed to always look in the crosshairs for my uses I have no particular problems, let's say that on the 500-600 shots I do. The use with its 24-70 Z f4 which is crisp and practical, the 2.8 in my opinion is to be left to those who have special needs of blurry and brightness. It has a spectacular burst, a great ISO high yield and a viewfinder that doesn't make you regret the optic one. The focus for the use I do i do has never given me problems, for now as moving subjects I took to children playing and never missed a photo, always precise on face or eye. Among other things, the AF has the ability to regulate its responsiveness and transition speed. The board is expensive, but once you get the reliability and speed make you forget how much you paid, you don't miss the second slot. A firmware will be available soon to make it compatible with the CFExpress standard. Too bad to download photos or use an external player or you have to use proprietary software, but this is a small thing. The spectacular videos, with different possibilities of fps and even the 120 fps with normal speed and then slowed down during editing. Too bad that to have video log files you need an external monitor, we hope for a software update. The F mount optics are fully compatible with the adapter, except those without autofocus engine where you have to sew by hand, but I prefer the Z optics otherwise if I have to bring me heavy and bulky optics you lose the practicality of a system mirrorless (except for special cases). The system in total with its Z optics thanks to the Z mount and stabilizer on the sensor (which works very well) allows the development of light, compact and qualitative optics that are frontandout from edge to board. We hope for a rapid development of new optics. It has a thousand other features including focus peaking, focus stacking and timelapse that I still have to try though. The menu for those who have always used Nikon is the classic and well manageable without trauma and anyway there is the possibility to customize it a minimum. In short, the transition from reflex to mirrorless was not at all traumatic, thanks to the Z6 for now I found only advantages. I reserve to integrate and/or corrects the review, for now the Z6 can do things that I do not know yet to do :-)

Pros: Weight, high STRENGTH ISO, AF in video and photo, overall quality, FTZ adapter

Cons: XQD cards (too expensive)

Opinion: After two months of using this mirrorles I finally write this review, what to say... the switch from reflex to mirrorles was anything but traumatic. I felt good right away, the menus and style are always the ones that nikon has taught us to love. The quality transition from D7100 to Z6 is seen, held at high Scary Iso and files much more manageable in post production. I also took the Z6 to make videos and nikon finally managed to pull out a camera for this purpose too. Af quite quick and that tracks very well face and eye, the stabilization of the sensor does its job and I find it very useful. The FTZ adapter (a bit ugly aesthetically) does its job perfectly, about performance it doesn't even seem to be there because the speed of the AF remains unchanged Battery life depends on how you use the machine, whether in LV or with the viewfinder or with both etc. etc I have to say that the way I set it I can do quietly two photo shoots. In short, the car alone that enjoyed apart from one factor... XQD cards, it performs very fast but costs a disproportionate amount.

Pros: Weight, viewfinder brightness, held at ISO highs

Cons: Battery life, position of the 2 front function keys

Opinion: After so much thinking and after a good 7 APS-C reflex (always Nikon) I decided to make the big leap towards the full-frame. Two things that immediately impressed me: the hold at the high ISO and the quality of the blurred. For the first merit of the sensor, for the second is my first fullframe so it is absolutely normal. The menu of the Z6 I found identical to that of the D7500, there is some extra function but those who come from a Nikon are immediately at his house. Different instead the speech for the buttons: behind you have to waste time figuring out what they are for while the two fronts, to the right of the optical attack, FN1 and FN2 in my opinion are not so immediate to find especially when using the FTZ adapter, that is, you have to take "the finger" and especially the FN1 remains a bit high and not immediate to reach. However, I liked being able to associate the fire dial of the 24-70/4 S with the function i prefer and in my case I opted for the exposure but you can match what you want. The AF-ON button is a little too close to the DISP and here too you have to take the "thumb" especially if as in my case it is big ! The battery I knew that compared to the D7500 I would lose a lot but I hoped less. In practice I went from 800/1000 photos to 250/350 photos and therefore the second (but if we also want the third) battery is a must. I do not recommend the non-original Amazon ones, I took them and with those you take 100/140 photos at most and I immediately made them. I liked the crosshairs so much although under certain conditions the "exposure" yield shown is not the real one and the trend is to overexpose compared to the "real" photo and since it is not homogeneous this behavior you have to give it the right taken and trust instead of the actual display meter. The live display is remarkable and finally I have a fast machine in focusing even in the live view (used to the D7500 was like leaping forward 10 years !). For the rest it is a Nikon, so built properly and the files produced are of great quality with the right colors and an exhilarating hold to the high ISO although, to be honest, I expected to be able to recover more in the shadows but you can not want everything from life.

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).

Pros: Sight, compactness, high ISO hold

Cons: Battery life, monitor not fully articulate

Opinion: I've owned this car for 2 months. After an inevitable run-in problem I have to say that I am very happy, it replaces my now sold D800, with top dynamic performance. I chose the 6 for price issue and for the estate to ISO highs. For now the only small downside is that the monitor can articulate but it is only convenient for horizontal photos, vertically it becomes useless. The battery did not have the duration it had on the reflex but I would keep the backwardcompatibility allows me to use the two I had. The optical park, for now, is lacking, although you can use everything that Nikon has produced so far without leaking.

Pros: Very comfortable in use, excellent focus especially in manual with colorful guidelines (focus peaking)

Cons: Scattered menu. Edit: Great battery!

Opinion: Excellent machine, fast, excellent hold to the most desperate ISOs, surgical scalpel focus. Beautiful colors and already a great contrast on the raw file. Too bad the battery, I got to about 200 shots, although I have to say that smaging with the menu consumes. Maybe when I'm done setting it all up I do some more endurance tests (for example, turning off the live view when you move away from the eye). I used very little to understand the actual consumption. The electronic viewfinder is gorgeous! Not even seems to look in a display and I would like to point out the possibility of activating the bubble and the istrogram directly from the eye precisely. Edit: Battery over 857 shots with still 15% charge. There are also about twenty long exposures in this round. Great car! More and more satisfied with the purchase! (put it in airplane mode)

Pros: Stabilizer, size and weight, image quality, display, sensitivity and high ISO hold, WiFi for remote control very effective

Cons: For now none (at least for My pictures), but the optical park is still incomplete, even if they are working. Too bad they hinder third party manufacturers (Sigma-Tamron Tokina etc)

Opinion: I have it for 2 months and I really used it, day and night. He never cheated on me and it's easy to carry around and discreet. I have no dedicated optics, I wait to buy the 14-30, I will keep you informed. Use with FTZ adapter with 150 Sigma f2 Macro,8 (fast and precise focusing), COM 50 mm f. 1.4 AF-S G, col 20 mm f 3.6 AI-S, and 35 PC 2.8 (decentrable). No problem, even with the 20 mm is more compact than with the dedicated. Then use with Leica (or almost) manual optics: 35 mm f 2.0 7Artisan (good but loses a bit to the edges), and Col 90 F 2 Summicron and 135 f 2.8 Elmar. Spectacular. Even the manual focus with the peaking Focus and magnification and brightness of the monitor/viewfinder system is quick and easy (but I'm older and I come from the manuals of the past). Only difficulty (but you have to shake hands) the MAF with avifauna: I can not keep the birds that depart quickly with the chase, while it is fine with the sports photo. Battery: With two batteries I make about 900-1000 shots in short, I've freed myself from Reflex, and it's one of the best ML I've had and tried. And then the FF!!!

Pros: Lightness, stabilization, brightness viewfinder

Cons: Precision AF; Optical quality kit, easy to soil the sensor

Opinion: Purchased after long reflection and a field test of Z7; I gave up on the latter because the difference in cost (about 1,200 euros) did not seem justified by the difference in performance; The pros of the machine are above all lightness and ergonomics; Manual focus is facilitated by the brightness of the viewfinder, which allows the use of focus peacking, unlike the D850; Stabilization Ideal for street or to travel without weights. Conversely, the controls, for those accustomed to D800/850, are too amateur; The battery charge, if you use Live view, is insufficient; The 24/70 4, although magnified by many, does not seem more than the 24/70 2.8 of the SLR and still lower than the fixed I usually use (ZEISS). The objectives F do not lose quality on Z6, but at that point you lose the greater advantage of lightness and you buy, however, that, presumably, to stabilize goals that are not at the origin. This can come in handy for high quality telephoto lenses but not stabilized, available on the market now at "human" prices if you can get a proper AF (not having them, I haven't tried it). The main problem, at least for me that frequently changing optics, is that the wide nozzle tends to get the sensor dirty much more easily than the SLR mentioned. In summary, excellent as accompaniment to important reflex bodies, good for those who start now a kit Nikon, less for those who want to use it as the main body with the old optics (posted the best photo made so far).

Pros: Lightness-quality of the images even with the standard optics-fast card

Cons: Absurd cost of the cards (thanks Sony mom to cut us in this way....)

Opinion: I just ordered a Z6 with standard optics, after having tried it a few hours last Saturday during a meeting Nikon (and I had with me the d750 + 24/120 f4 for comparison). It's coming tomorrow. From this weekend I will have the opportunity to test it "on the field" for a few days. I had the chance to try both the Z7 and the 24/70 F2,8, but seen prices and weight are not in my "core" and therefore I decided to test what I could buy. The 24/120 optics never showed higher than the standard 24/70 F4 and on the other hand (I think thanks to the greater light captured by the wider bayonet) the latter worked with 1 stop of difference (so the F4 was bright as an F2,8). The 400 grams less is felt and the appliance is used very well with one hand. The complexion is very precise. The result was that I sold the D610 (second body) and the 24/120, keeping only the d750 with the 14/24, and also the 300 F4 Superlight and the 2x III. The photos "Tele" I do with the P1000, which from 300 mm up, does not work at all bad. In the future we will see if it is the case to buy new optics and possibly the adapter for the big angle, also selling the excellent D750. The bad surprise was the cost of the cards, and even if in the coming days will be released the SW update that allows the use of CFExpress, at least for the next few months nothing will change; In fact, the CFExpress, much more performing XQD, is not where to buy them and so I do not even know the price. It all makes me think that the XQD format soon becomes obsolete.

Cons: AF with low light

Opinion: I have this machine from two months and it really surprised me, I come from a Nikon D750 with amazing ISO seal and I must say that the Z6 is better in this compartment; The burst and the almost infinite buffer thanks to the XQD is fabulous a whole other world than the 750. The autofocus has wavered only a few times with very poor light but with a lamppost or the flash solves the problem.

Opinion: I have this machine recently but I have already done some work and I can say that the convenience of having a lighter bag is felt. The S Series Optics are very fast and incisive and even with the adaptor the Reflex lenses can be used even if the autofocus is slowed down a bit. The file is not bad especially at low sensitivity to high yet I had no way to test it thoroughly. The battery is poor even if you use the only electronic viewfinder does not exceed the 550 photos taken. I have Not yet found a way to work in the studio but I will let you know.

Pros: Build quality, product file, lightness, ASA seal, simple WiFi connection with smartphone, stabilization, viewfinder

Cons: AF in low light, adjustable monitor only longitudinally, price

Opinion: With These new ML has returned the time of the great diatribes... And if before there were the Nikonians against the Canonians, today the sides have mixed together, with part of both in the curve of the ultrà reflex, and part assembled in that ML. The yellow and white scarves are one beside the other, and the old enemies of the past find themselves singing the same hymns. I? Well, I'm telling you two lines about my attitude. A year ago, at the exit of the ML, I said "what is this crap? How Nasty! That small, no grip underneath! And those barrels, mica are those optical series? And My reflex kit Fruit of many years of passion and sweat? It's a canikon conspiracy against me! " Six months ago I said, "to laugh, let me take one of these things in my hand." Four months ago I read "In ten years the sales of reflex have collapsed by 80%" and I began to think: "But what if instead of a conspiracy was just an attempt by Canikon to survive with a product in step with the times?" Two months ago I tried a Z. Today I use a Z6 (body + lens 1.3 kilos), and my glorious D4 (body + lens 2.3 kilos) looks at me perplexed by the shelf. Joking aside, the car is a surprise. Immediately you perceive the build quality, Nikon with this first generation of mirrorless wanted to do things right. The Machine Body offers a pleasant sensation of robustness. The menu options are many, the keys almost all well placed and with the right feedback. The viewfinder is spatial, only in full sun fatigue a bit, while in the dark it is unbelievable. With its 24-70/4.0 lens providing an excellent result, I did a personal comparative with my D4 and its 24-70/2.8, and as to sharpness the new wins on all fronts. The AF in the right conditions works fine, especially in AF-S mode. Another advantage is not just the weight: going out with this new is a pleasure. The compact size makes it much more manageable. The stabilisation ("IBIS") works very well. But Nikon has to work again. The keys are not backlit, and in the dark it's annoying. With the Flash (910) I still have to figure out the right calibration, but maybe it's my problem. Behold, in low light the biggest problem of this machine emerges: the autofocus, which is clearly struggling and which needs substantial improvements. Nikon has already announced an upgrade to that effect, we'll see. Then Eye to the dust on the sensor, which can be a problem.

Pros: Robustness, autofocus, touch display, ISO seal

Cons: Nothing, although I have not yet got to try it with adapter for F-mount lenses of which I would check the yield.

Opinion: Moving from D610 to Z6 I noticed an incredible leap in quality, and say I was very skeptical about mirrorless but after one day I had already forgotten the SLR. It's really a great camera, versatile and with an incredible rendition. The handle gives a sense of robustness despite the small size compared to the D610, combined with the 24-70 F/4 I was amazed at the results; The autofocus is very fast and the continuous shot thanks also to the XQD card never stops once the subject is hooked. You can take pictures at 4000 ISO sharp and no grain. Very useful the silent shot.

Opinion: It's just the second day I've got it, but I'm already in love with it. With the adapter it works perfectly my 24-70 AF-S f 2.8. Tested at high ISO (type 6400 ISO) and made fantastic. I just have to try it in a burst, but tomorrow I'm going to test it in a basketball game. Really worth the money spent, Nikon did a nice job.

Pros: Size, weight, high ISO, versatility

Cons: Memory cards still only branded Sony and therefore very expensive in relation to three although with greater performance

Opinion: I do not want to add the same things already written that I share but I think the Z6 a FF with excellent technical features and what not just that the stabilizer on the sensor is much more effective than previous systems and moreover it is also effective on Nikon optics that They are lacking and dated giving a new life to kits that many are fond of. For me this last aspect is really fundamental and puts it a step higher than the competition. The adapter ring works fine even if with the dedicated optics you have the maximum performance. The battery lasts less than traditional SLRs but if used with care lasts more than stated even if it remains indispensable to bring at least one more. In Short it is the ideal machine for street.

Pros: Excellent on high ISO, good ergonomics like all Nikon, excellent compatibility with Nikon F optics, very customizable menu, small and light.

Cons: Electronic viewfinder can be improved, if the camera moves quickly, it lacks the focus with arrows and ball with manual focus lenses, fortunately there is the peaking, too sensitive touch monitor takes pictures with every contact with your fingers, but you can Disconnect

Opinion: I bought the Z6 for about a month and all in all I am satisfied with 80%, passing from the D5 that I still have a noticeable imbalance towards the forward with almost all the objectives. Excellent instead the possibility to put the tripod on the optical adapter Nikon F, good battery life that is also charged with PC.

Pros: High-sensitivity performance, excellent ergonomics, excellent compatibility with Nikon F optics, customizations, touch screen, electronic viewfinder.

Cons: Not very light, price of optics

Opinion: I bought the Z6 for a month now, I tested it for both the street photography and some professional photographic services that I realized. I can say that Nikon has studied this mirrorless really well, during the last service realized I preferred to use the Z6 compared to my other cameras, D750 and D4. The advice to those who like me want to use it both as a travel camera and as a professional tool. With the FTZ adapter I found that the optics F behave well, the autofocus speed remains almost unchanged and in my opinion more accurate than with the reflex, especially with very fast optics (AD esempio85mm 1.4)
