Very good comparison. I’ve handled the R6 II many times and agree that it is a fantastic camera. I’m a Nikon shooter but would have considered buying a R6 II “if” the Z6 III wasn’t such a great overall camera. I should be hopefully buying my Z in December. Keep up the good work sir.
Thank you for your analysis clearly R6II his struggling in DR with video against newer Z6III . This great review helps keep camera companies on their toes and makes them lift their game for these very expensive electronics. Remember some years ago, who new about rolling shutters or dynamic range , it's the passionate U tubers that help through the BS fluff and reality of true capabilities of cameras today thank you FTM .
At min 12:58 your video quality and color changes. Its looks so much better. Which Camera did you use here? And what camera did you use for the shots before?
Nice video Frames - there is no doubt that both of those cameras are excellent and also no doubt that the Z6III bests the R6II - which we would expect given that it is 1.5 years newer. I think we are now solidly back to the way things were in the DSLR days between Nikon and Canon - where one would best the other and then the other would strike back and hop scotch the first and so on an so forth. The ultimate result of this was better and better cameras and gear for all consumers. I am glad to see this is where things are again today - we are all now winners again regardless of brand! -PD
@@FramesTM Yeah - I guess its a little disappointing but you can't have the speed with no compromise. The truth is that in today's world AI post production noise reduction is so good that it probably doesn't even matter for still if you shoot in RAW. It seems like in every other way, the Z6III is over delivering. -PD
@victorlim5077 the readout for Z6iii is quite impressive. I am just saying Canon R6ii also has a sub 10ms readout. But yet the rolling shutter is clearly much worse than the Z6iii.
Good comparison of these two cameras that some people might be deciding between. Just wondering when you did the video IBIS stability check, did you try putting the Nikon in Sport mode and pan back and forth to see if that reduced the jitter? If so, did it make any difference?
Hey there. I use a Nikon ZF too. I noticed that the camera focuses much better for bird in flight shots when we use electronic shutter rather than mechanical. Is that the case with u as well? For zF or z6 iii?
I haven’t used the Zf in e shutter because the sensor isn’t stacked. But will check if there is a boost to AF. I feel tye Zf autofocus is almost flawless anyway
For me there was a clear difference between z8 and zF in bird in flight shots. It vanished when I switched to electronic shutter. I would get 3/10 in focus while panning and shooting birds with mechanical shutter.
I have a doubt ...does the nikon z6 3 only saves 6k and 4k 120 files in cf express card ? Or can these big 6k files be saved in normal sd card too?? As i dont want to invest in cf express card so can i save 6 k videos in normal sd card? Plz reply
Theoretically, you can write upto 6k 60 in RAW normal quality in a V90 card with 250MB/s sustained write speed. And high quality raw 6k 30p in the same type of card. Of course all 4k raw can be recorded in a good V90 card. But they will fill up quickly. So it’s cheaper to buy a half decent big cf express card.
You're a big Nikon fan. But from the start of this video you did something that was very interesting. You showed the R6II with a beautiful, sturdy, Canon white lens. What I actually hate about the new Nikon Z system is their cheap, plastic, overly large glass. Canon and Sony G master glass looks and feels like a tank, but they are more compact. Nikon Z glass are massive, plastic, and cheap feeling. Nikon has become the poor mans choice.
Thank you but how? The canon lens was just out of the box. But Nikon is 2.5 years old. The canon will become loose and more dust will go inside. And it’s lighter for a reason. The Nikon bodies feel like metal chunks. Canon? Really light fibre ones
Thanks for making the comparison video and especially demonstrating the differences in high iso images. Personally i must say that the R6II RAW-files from ISO 3.200 and higher look better to me than the Z6III files. To me the R6II has more details in the hair area, it looks sharper and the Z6III seems to have a bluish magenta cast, whereas the hair color in the canon files is still brown. But thats just my perception.
@@mlai2546 Your statement makes absolutely no sense. My CF Express got corrupted on my Fuji XH2S, and my SD card saved the day. I'm hoping Nikon will do something about it instead of making excuses for them.
@@nigerian-nightmare You must be unlucky, because I think the chances of a CF card having a problem are much lower than 2 SD cards in a camera. Also I don't know your purchases, but we also need to buy good quality cards
@@FramesTM ignore “Facts” it’s okay. Love your life. “Real” people will understand my comment. And buy a Sony canon or Panasonic. Keep your manual focus Nikon.

I am shooting with the same camera. The Nikon Z8. The lighting changes in the background that’s all

The Nikon still does better than canon in high ISO and in video. However, I didn’t expect a DR hit.

@@FramesTM I bet the R6iii will take a DR hit when it moves to a stacked sensor. Hopefully Stack sensor tech will improve in the future.
Wow. The difference in rolling shutter is so obvious. Great comparison.
Ya quite a lot actually
@victorlim5077 nikon rumor had a chart comparison of each camera and R6ii was just as fast as Nikon Z6iii. I wonder if the test was not done properly.
@@mlai2546 Gerald Undone did the readout test and the Z6iii was sub10ms. Very impressive. Most competitors are around the 14-20ms range.
@victorlim5077 the readout for Z6iii is quite impressive. I am just saying Canon R6ii also has a sub 10ms readout. But yet the rolling shutter is clearly much worse than the Z6iii.
@@mlai2546 I rewatched Gerald Undone's video on R6ii. The rolling shutter is 15.9ms unfortunately.
Thanks for the comparison and the zoomed in views. It would be nice if you would put bookmarks on the timeline.
Alright 👍🏽
Good comparison of these two cameras that some people might be deciding between. Just wondering when you did the video IBIS stability check, did you try putting the Nikon in Sport mode and pan back and forth to see if that reduced the jitter? If so, did it make any difference?
Sport mode is not made for when the video guy is static… It gave unacceptable results when standing

How should I use a mechanical shutter when I use Z mount lenses? Can u advice me?

No i am talking about v60 card....can i save 6 k files in v60 card or can it be only saved in cf express card?....
@twinklestar2490 you can’t do raw. You do 10 bit
So Can i save 6k videos in v60 card?
Which one best for wedding r6ii or z6 iii any one
Both are great. Choose what’s cheaper
FOR FHD 120FPS VIDEO WHICH IS BETTER ZF or R6II
If you want flexibility of shooting in picture profile and not ONLY in log, then the Zf is better. Both are good but Zf is more flexible.
I hate the video/still button. I keep accidentally moving it. I hope the R6iii has a lock on it.
I have never heard anything like that. It’s a stiff one.
@@FramesTM I just snagged it on something.
Great video ❤️

You’re probably right. Will have another look
6:43 Canon M6 Mark II?? xD
What about it
Great
Thank you!
I would love if my Z6III can 13 Stops ...sadly it can only 11,2
For video, Canon can record in both card slots while Nikon can only record in one. Disaster waiting to happen.
😂😂😂
@@FramesTM SD vs CF Express B.
You definitely need Canon to record to both SD cards. SD is more of a consumer grade storage, not industrial or commercial.

Nikon has poor shadow recovery, hard pass for me not worth it. Also poor autofocus.
Poor autofocus? Anyway have fun

Z6III without a doubt. Z6III is like A7S3. R6II has many problems and bad lenses
