Mark, my wish list for the Z7iii is similar to yours but I’d like to see it have the Z8/Z9 four-way flip screen. That would be the ideal camera for me. Fingers are crossed!
That would be nice, however, I don't believe it will happen as the current size of the camera is not big enough. Also, you have to think about the business model reasons to spend more money. LOL
@@markology Sadly, Mark, I think you are right. I reluctantly agree with you because it would be a lot easier and less costly to just use the Z6iii body; however, I believe the target market for the Z7iii would include landscape shooters, many of whom abhor the fully articulated screen of the Z6iii according to online comments. Also, if Fuji can put the four-way screen in the X-T5 and Sony can put the multi-way screen in the A7RV, then Nikon should be able to engineer a way to put the Z8 screen on the Z7iii. 🙂
Currently shooting a Z6....among others. Headed to a local camera store, today. Nikon reps making their semi-annual demonstrations. Thank you for your thoughtful analysis.
Mine is on order and should be here in a couple days, moving back to Nikon from Sony and excited for it and Nikons colour rendition. Thanks for the video Mark!
I pulled the trigger and upgraded to a 6-3 3 weeks ago and can honestly say I wish I did not wait any longer. It just works so well compared to my Z6/Z50. Now my choice is which one to sell of the two older ones. I think the Z50 is my favorite to have really small camera to carry and use for reach on my TELE work.
Mark, thanks for the video. Subscribed and hope for more videos like this. Couple of questions: the limited DR of the camera with ISO less than 800 is being discussed on the internet - does it bother you for low light shooting and landscape? The auto ISO - would it be better to assign it to one of the function buttons to turn it on and off rather than using menus?
Hey Mark I really like your videos, May I know if I want a fullframe camera, should I buy z7ii now or wait for z7iii? and how long do you believe nikon will release Z7iii. Thanks!
I would wait for Z7III, perhaps the end of 2024, then you can choose Z7II or Z7III as an educated buyer, you will be able to buy a new Z7II at a reduced price, because dealers will be clearing stock.
60 or 70 mp doesn't provide any real benefit and that is also true for 100 mp. The entire Purpose for Photography is to produce an image for Display and Human Eyesight is not that good. I happen to have 20/10 vision so I can see details most can't and I just can't see any difference between a print done with a 46mp camera and one from a 100mp image. Fact is that it's quite difficult to see the difference between 24mp and 46mp cameras when viewing a print. Note, I am talking "normal" viewing distance without using a magnifier. Basically the only benefit for higher resolution image files is for Pixel Peepers and for additional Crop space. BTW, I consider needing "crop space" as a bad habit, take the time to compose your image well and you don't need to do any cropping.
It makes a difference for archival work, art preservation, science related work, some kinds of macro shooting, etc. Mostly for cropping to see the details.
True, and yet: 1. everyone pixelpeeps, including your grandma: watch how people view photos on their (high res) viewing devices (phones, tablets, etc). One first look at the whole image, and immediate gestures to squeeze into details (the eyes, the faces, the clothing labels, the wrinkles, the flowers, the junk in the background, etc, etc). It has become a habit, an automatic behaviour, across generations and cultures. More MP means more and better details to dive into. In that scenario, 45MP has become an expectation (including from phone cameras). If you shoot exactly the same scene (identical subject, pose, light, composition, etc) with a Z6 and a GFX100, the 100MP image will generate more applause from more people. Even from grandma. 2. For the large poster picture on a wall, you are right, 24MP is more than enough. But the ability to crop can transform a meh picture into a stunning one. Why not "cheat" and benefit from the ability to fix composition in post when the shooting conditions and the lens on the camera did not allow the perfect framing when you triggered the shutter? There again, 45 or 60 or 100 MP beat 24MP.

Also the same lower-profile round eyecup / viewfinder.
Just get the Z8.
@@markologyThe camera does not have to increase in size. Just look at the Fuji XT5, which has a fantastic screen similar to the Nikon Z8.

thank you Bob, I hope you enjoy your time with your Nikon reps

Good choice!
thank you for your introdution to the Z6iii. Mine arrives this afternoon.
hope you enjoy yours as much as I am with mine
Totally agree with buying from the local camera shop instead of online
I only buy online from reputable retailers where the price difference is just too vast

One question to ask Z50II as it's due soon, sell both Z6 and Z50
I’m tempted to buy the 6iii but I’ll wait a bit longer for the 7iii.
Good luck with your future endeavour
Thank you for the excellent review greets from Belgium 🇧🇪 👌😉
thank you
Great video Mark. Keep going.
Thanks 👍
I just wish they didn't cripple the controls compared to the Z8. Give us "Recall Shooting Functions" and "Cycle AF-area mode".
thank you for your feedback.

Auto ISO, hold the ISO button down and turn from dial.

Hello! Have you tried using the Z63 for astro photography yet? And if you have, could you share some of the images, please?
Yes, just back from trip, will publish soon
Z6 also had memo note
thank you, yes the Z6, Z6ii and Z8, plus Z9 all have voice meno
7:53 how do you takes these off?
after removing the black cover which just picks off, you are left with a triangle split ring, which you split and rotate over the lug and it pops off.
@@markology thank you
