I own the Z8, which is a bit big for street photography :D At the moment of writing this, I'd grab a Z7 II without a second thought, as it is currently on a rebate of $1000 in most big retailer shops. I don't care if tomorrow the Z7 III is released (most probably given the vast reduction in price); it is still a great camera, and I can enjoy it for well a year until the successive firmware upgrades bring the new model to a usable state. As a fellow software engineer, you know what I'm talking about. And as proof, there is my beloved Z8 :)
Ya the Z7II is a great deal right now with that awesome discount. Even the Z8 has a nice discount at the moment. Good time to pick up Nikon gear! I do wonder if there will be even better discounts during black friday this year
Like you I have both of these cameras. It's a hard question to answer. I do love the Z6iii for the autofocus and yet I do miss the extra resolution when I use the Z6iii. I still have a 850 but as many ask, I do prefer the Z 7ii over the 850, but as you say it totally depends on what type of photography one does. I do quite a bit of studio work and when it comes to portrait work the autofocus on the Z 7ii is perfectly fine. If you are shooting wildlife or birds in flight etc the Z 6iii is fantastic and is by far better than the Z 7ii
Yeah the Z6III is def better for autofocus and video. I do hope Nikon will release a Z7III with high resolution + their advanced autofocus while maintaining the smaller form factor. The Z8 is almost perfect for me but I prefer the smaller bodies, especially when adding an L-bracket
I mean, both are great cameras, but for a 24mp, the Z6iii seems to be better for noise. I get the detail, but there isn’t much difference (to me) in the noise. I haven’t printed anything above a 24x36 and that was from my OM-1 (12-40 2.8 pro) no issues, clean image. So I dunno. 🤷🏽♂️ But I do have a question for you. Hey hey. Hi open all is well. I have a tremendous question to ask. So, a while back I traded my newer OM-1 and all Olympus lenses for the new Z6iii. I have to say, I miss the OM camera. I miss the inbody stacking and I miss the inbody ND filters. So I’m back on the fence again. I shoot landscape and I do shoot birds/wildlife with the occasional macro or astro. (I don’t do video) and well, what about picture print out size? I might print up to a 36x48. (It’s only been 24x32’s I believe) My biggest question here is image quality. In your most professional opinion, will I actually see a difference in image quality with a 20mp vs 24mp? Like; what will I be giving up on here. Obviously I won’t be able to crop in much with a m4/3, but I don’t really crop much anyway. Just looking for an honest answer and i am just having such a hard time deciding. The biggest thing is i don’t want to give up an image quality. What do you think?
I know I'm not one you asked, but I believe if you do not wish to make compromises on image quality FF 24MP will most definitely be better than equivalent m4/3 sensor, especially in low light. By buying Z6III, you got a highly advanced hybrid that has made lots of improvements for video like readout speed and AF. But in the world of stills, it has nothing new to offer, so I suggest you search for more still-oriented high MP cameras within a similar price range.
Can the Z6iii be used with an L bracket? (does the flippy screen prevent that?) Also, I wish the Z7ii had Starlight view. Have you had a chance to use it on 6III? Great comparison as well. I expected the desk to cost much more.
Yes the Z6III can be used w L brackets, but the flippy screen does lose some of its range of motion. I currently use a RRS universal L bracket on mine... I often remove the L part when I'm just shooting video so I have full range of the screen. I haven't used starlight view... I typically just adjust the screen brightness up or down when I need to
Hi I'm still indecisive between these two cameras. I want to change to mirrorless from my d850. I do newborn photography using mostly natural light. I would go for the z7ii but I'm not sure about the noise but then z6iii has got less megapixels. What would you recommend?
Hmm well the Z7II will have same resolution as your D850 if that is important to you. The Z8 will have same resolution plus superior autofocus and video features, so that may be an option as well. Z6III is great all around but yeah it does have the 24MP instead of 45MP. You could maybe try renting the camera(s) and see what you like before purchasing
For wildlife, action, Nikon has the best range of tele lenses on the market if you really want highend quality. Some of them have inbuild teleconverters, for many a game changer. Of course, everything depends on your budget.
Good work and intresting comparison ! I would have loved to see a comparison between the Z7II vs the Z6 III's 96mpx mode. Can't wait to see what's next ! Thanks
lol MP is one dynamic of many in a camera. Z7 II has excellent sensor but the III is far superior on autofocus, speed, and especially video which Z7 III is ideal for at all. I've been shooting with my D80's 10mp sensor for fun and have been getting great images.
How about shoot the image so that you dont have to crop. 24megapixels more than enough for 98% of the people. Wanna shoot big commercials? Go for middle format.

Thanks again for the real world comparison without 6 Stops adjustments like the Tony guy... 😉

There is so much more visible saturation in your z6III examples

@@ZJMichaels Z6III
The d850 is a better camera than both of these... I'd keep it unless you go to the z8 or z9
I guess z6iii better for wildlife vid/photo but then which one is better compared to lumix s5ii or z6iii?
For wildlife, action, Nikon has the best range of tele lenses on the market if you really want highend quality. Some of them have inbuild teleconverters, for many a game changer. Of course, everything depends on your budget.
Good work and intresting comparison ! I would have loved to see a comparison between the Z7II vs the Z6 III's 96mpx mode. Can't wait to see what's next ! Thanks
Thanks! Oh good idea. I pretty much never use that mode and forgot the Z6III even had it haha. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime
Z8
Nikon Z7II ! The Z6III is $500 more with less megapixels !!!
The Z7II is definitely a good deal! Buying used, you can get even more bang for the buck
Z6iii 500$ expensive and far better AF, Video features and Quality of life improvements.
lol MP is one dynamic of many in a camera. Z7 II has excellent sensor but the III is far superior on autofocus, speed, and especially video which Z7 III is ideal for at all. I've been shooting with my D80's 10mp sensor for fun and have been getting great images.
LOL MP mean very little once you get over 16.
24 megapixels is average for 2024....in 2106 nikonnmade 24 megapixlea dslrs....no cropping
I wouldn't buy a 24 megapixel camera
How about shoot the image so that you dont have to crop. 24megapixels more than enough for 98% of the people. Wanna shoot big commercials? Go for middle format.
Fill the frame better, that's good field craft. I've been shooting with my old 10mp D80 for fun and have been getting great images.
Combine the two cameras: buy a canon r5!
