Pros: AF speed, stabilization efficiency, ergonomics of buttons AND access to internal functions, wealth of video modes, quality/price ratio, quality and diversity of colorimetry modes (Picture Control), extraordinary viewfinder, etc!

Cons: The price could be a deterrent, BUT NOT for the level offered. No video copy to second memory card.

Opinion: [Update 11.09.24 : Recent tests of the autofocus in video mode, with face detection and target lock, have given excellent results on a sprinter's training. This in lateral and frontal running. Update 18.09.24 : Feedback on the heating of the device in video mode: yes, just like for the Z8, high resolutions (4K+), especially in Raw mode, cause excessive heating of the device, especially on the memory card. On the other hand, I just finished a 12-hour wedding in 1080p and there, it does not heat much. These devices (Z6III like Z8/Z9), display breathtaking shooting performances, BUT you have to be careful not to record too long and interrupt the shots. For me, on this point, these are not video cameras of the level of a Black Magic for example.] First of all, my testimony must be understood by my specific need: wedding videography. (I work in duo with a photographer). So this device seduced me for its video offer. For the details of the CODECS, I let you look at all the possibilities, it's damn full! I associated it with the 35mm F/1.8 S while possibly waiting for the 1.2, so awaited. I've had it for less than a month, but already tested well, I wanted to give an opinion to help others in the decision. Let's skip the controversy (bashing?) concerning the "disappointing" dynamic range. In the real world, it doesn't weigh much. The increase in ISOs in video is excellent. What is most striking is the efficiency of the autofocus, which shortens the gap with Sony and Canon. Then, there is this extraordinary viewfinder, so good that I film the eye in the viewfinder while leaving the screen closed :) Then, the stabilization is sufficient for me, (still with the aim of the wedding video) to do without a stabilizer. It's great. By holding my elbows glued to my body, I can pan, tilt, without jolts. The ergonomics of the back face are so intuitive, that very quickly, it is possible to change settings, without ever taking your eye off the viewfinder. The adjustment of the options is also intuitive, although familiar to Nikonists. A word about the photography side: there is a price difference between the z6iii and the z6ii. For me the answer is simple: the difference is justified if you need better autofocus, excellent stabilization, or if you dream of being able to recover the second before a bird takes flight. Otherwise, the Z6ii, especially with its lower price, remains an excellent camera. Concerning the hesitation with a Z8 whose price is currently dropping, I would say that it is not my same category of camera, so it is a little unfair to compare them. In photo, the Z8 offers 45Mpix, I would take the Z8. In video needs, I would take the Z6iii... In conclusion: is it the best camera of all brands? Of course not! Sony and Canon have great options to claim. However, the Z6iii has something going for it: for its price, the possibilities offered make it a winner.

Pros: Weight, AF, customization (buttons eg.), pre-capture, high-iso

Cons: the rotating screen, could be a litte bit "higher"

Opinion: As I don`t do any tests and just go out to take pictures, these are my very personal thoughts. I comparison to the z-6ii the AF-improvement is huge! It ist not as great as the z-9, but there we had some huge updates - so we will see ;-) I personaly prefer the tilt screen of z-6ii/z-9 over the fully rotating one. The "old" one is more durable I think and - it`s a litte bit "strange" for me to look at a screen that is not in the optical axis of the lens when shooting low level for example. Second thing is, thas the body could be a little more "higher" - my hands are rather big - but SmallRig already has the solution as with the z-6ii The big question I guess is: as a photographer (without video) is it worth to update from z-6ii? Well, if you don`t shoot wildlife&birds all the time, then I would say no. The z-6ii handles everything else in a great way and you can spend your money in lenses :-) If you love to shoot birds and other wildlife and the z-9 is too big/heavy - definitley a yes. Or, as a second & lighter body with similar af-technology.... I hope, this non-scientific thought can help someone with their descision - if there are questions, feel free to ask :-)

Pros: Fast af, burst, image quality, stabilizer, viewfinder, vari-angle and foldable display, dual slots, video options, and machine customization, construction and ergonomics., high iso rendering.

Cons: Pre-shooting only in JPEG, with some lenses even Z is not available only the use of the mechanical shutter. Autonomy only quite good. The curtain that protects the sensor is missing when switching off, for changing lenses, it is there but only using the trick of removing the battery with the car on, but it is an inadvisable operation to do, at most in case of extreme emergency.

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.
