Nikon Z6 III review – an exquisite all-rounder that’s close to perfection

Nikon Z6 III: two-minute review

Sitting at the more affordable end of Nikon’s range of full-frame models, the Z6 III is designed to be an all-rounder, which can tackle a variety of subjects, whether that’s for photo or video. 

What makes it more affordable is its 24.5MP sensor, which is just shy of half that of other pricier models in the line-up, including the Z7 II, the Z8 and the Z9. However, it’s an exciting new “partially stacked” sensor, which unleashes ultra fast shooting speeds available, making this a real powerhouse when it comes to sports and action – and marking a major improvement on its predecessor, the Z6 II. 

There’s up to an incredible 120fps shooting available – with some big caveats – but up to 20fps at full resolution in raw with full AF/AE. In practice, this turns out to be more than you’ll need for most types of action and returns a fantastic hit rate where almost every shot is in focus thanks to the superb autofocusing system which has been brought over from the Z8 and Z9 cameras.

For video, there’s now 6K up to 60fps available, as well as 4K at a range of frame rates up to 120fps. Being able to create oversampled video at 4K thanks to its 6K shooting ability will be appealing to lots of content creators, and gives you scope to get more shooting angles from whatever lenses you have.
