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: Viewfinder, minimal blackout, AF, file weight and know-how inherited from the big sisters Z8 and Z9 (from firmware 2.00).

Cons: Not received.

Opinion: My opinion is based on experience of use in the field of nature photography, both stalking and wandering. I have used d80, d90, d3s, d500, d750, z6 and z6ii. The jump from the z6ii is big. I used Z6ii in reflex mode, that is, I set the single point with dynamic area, I looked for the subject (often first with the manual focus ring)... so after a few tests I never used the subject detection again (n.b. for the human face it worked well I don't know for pets) With Z6III the subject tranking has become really usable and with the firmware 2.00 and the Bird detection it has further improved. The percentage of af locking with non-homogeneous backgrounds has also improved a lot. Even in terms of functionality there are so many (auto capture - focus limit - pre-shooting - pixel shift ....) For the video sector, here too the options offered are really many. Well, now we just have to make the most of it to bring home many beautiful images!

Pros: Compactness, ergonomics, weight, viewfinder, overall quality

Cons: A real shame the lack of protection for the sensor

Opinion: Let's face it, it's been several years since we have seen any concrete news in the field of photographic sensors. Of course, they are always faster and more performing, but the quality of the files remains the same. Adaptive algorithms and very fast processors allow machine gun bursts and real sniper autofocus, but if we are not paparazzi, sports photojournalists or videomakers, we find ourselves paying for "secondary" potential compared to the quality of the general image. The Z6 III is a fast, accurate and streamlined camera. It allows you to tackle all genres of photography with ease and without weighing too much in your backpack and wallet. The front sight, the grip and the feeling of reliability that it returns in all conditions of use are excellent. Having thoroughly tried models with pro bodies and denser sensors, I think I can consciously leave them to those who really need them for work ... Or compulsive collectors.

Pros: Hand grip, ergonomics, construction, video options, camera customization, shooting speed (up to 120 fps), Autofocus, viewfinder, - 10 EV and others...

Cons: Nothing. Maybe the sensor that is not protected when changing the lens.

Opinion: After 6 months of use, I personally find this Z6 iii to be one of the best and well-built cameras from Nikon. I owned a Z6 ii but this Z6 iii surpasses it especially in shooting speed, AF and video options, (Nraw, 10 bit, N-LG, dual native Iso 800 and 6400 etc ...). Also note that in the photo its large buffer. It is simply an extraordinary machine that can face many challenges.
