Наука
Every time Tony releases a video about the Z6/7, we get the obligatory clip from the Z6 release, where Tony's brain was broken WRT Nikon cameras. Have you seen any of the 'breaking news' videos from Tony about any other camera brand, where there are clips from 5 years ago? And the history lesson every time mentions the problems with focusing and white balance? I understand that Tony was very disappointed with the Z6/7, but it feels a bit odd to keep harping on something that happened 5 years ago. Give it a rest already, Tony.
Well, let's not forget their expert analysis about The End Of Nikon, amiright? These two are still in the high school darkroom trying desperately to fit in with the Mean Girls crowd.
Alright, I'll bite. I think I've watched 19 other Z6III vids this week. But let's do this. I want to believe. 😆
You're not alone 😉
I expect a Z6 III to be identical to the Zf but with a usable body.
@@phelanwolf6747 My hunch / guess is a 24mp stacked / no mechanical shutter
@@csc-photono, that is what you wish for, unrealistically.
@@phelanwolf6747 sending hugs
Hmm.. the video title says specs leaked, but this is just the latest in the series of unconfirmed rumours and we don't even know the sensor's specs. Cickbait. :(
All leaks are always “unconfirmed rumors”… no company comes out and confirms the leaked specs before their product launch.
@@ericlamont4130 No. A real leak can be confirmed as authentic, even if it's only by pointing to an anonymous insider source. The pure rumors regurgitated in tons of videos right now are entirely unsubstantiated, and they're missing the most important information of it all, regarding the sensor itself. So it's probably a controlled pseudo-"leak" by the Nikon PR department.
You new to RUclips?
Nikon should do the stacked sensor to fill the low mp high performance nitch.
@@spenson89 there's nothing wrong with expecting standards of established channels that regularly assert their integrity.
I love my Z6 despite what Tony says about it.
Me too. A lot of firmware updates since Tony’s original slating. Never found White Balance an issue and autofocus more than adequate for my purposes- no fast wildlife involved and I don’t do video.
@@dougmckillop9352 yep my z6 has the best auto white balance of any camera I have ever had! My Pentax was always too magenta!
If they don't mess up the Z6III somehow it will be my future camera.
For me, they messed up already by making it a high-speed photography / videography-oriented camera. I'd happily trade all of those specs in for just decent AF at 33mp.
same here @@CC3GROUNDZERO
I think Z6iii will have Z6ii body with Zf guts, probably priced under $2500. I really hope they don't put articulating screen, I like Z6ii screen as it is.
@@USGrant21st I'm sorry but that's wishful thinking. The Z6 III's launch price will be *at least* $2,500. Knowing Nikon's usual overpricing, more realistically it's going to be $2,800.
@@CC3GROUNDZERO nope, it cannot be more expensive than Sony A7iv, which it's going to compete with, likely it's going to be less expensive, I would guess $2299 at release. Sony already demonstrated it can cut the price of A7iv by 10% to boost sales.
I absolutely love my Z6II for my waterfalls/landscape photography, as well as the incredible video quality. That being said, I think all of the new features of a Z6III will open the doors to a more capable sports/wildlife camera, which I think will be the cherry on top. I for one am so excited for a new Nikon camera! 🎉
I’m sick of you saying the first generation was a fail. Total hogwash. Recently went back to mine after dropping my z9. Took some of my best photos.
I hope the other Nikon camera is a professional crop sensor body!
I would love a Z90/80 like the D500.
@@jakesdewet3567I expect a mirrorless update of the D500 to come out before the Olympics.
Hi, great video! Little correction though on the a7IV specs. I have the Sony a7IV which I am very happy with. But I’m sorry to say though that it does not have 2x CFXA+SD, but only 1x CFXA+SD and 1x SD.
Also, it's got 33, not 34 mp.
So do we think you'll be able to tilt the screen or does this mean it's going to be like on the Zf? I'm confused with the LCD terminology 😂 but I desperately want, for almost all photography, to just tilt the screen without having to have it sticking out to the side of the camera
He means it will tilt out to the side. If that’s the case, I will not be buying it. I want a flip up screen as well
@@superstringsbro same. I'd honestly pay so much more for cameraness I don't even need just to have the right screen. These days, it's the main viewfinder, it's the eye to the photos, it has to be right!
What would make me buy the new Z6 III over the Zf? Seems like the MPs are the same and the Zf has the same processing chip as the Z8 with a similar autofocusing system. I am a studio portrait photographer and have been holding out with my D750 but I want to upgrade for the eye recognition and the low light capability of the mirrorless cameras. I have been shooting Nikon since I got my N2000 so I have a fair bit of glass. I am not convinced that I need to keep upping my MPs for prints. Any input to help direct me to the best camera for my needs?
I'm diggin' what Nikon is doing these days. The biggest advantage they have is something they don't even talk about - it's a universal mount. It has the shortest flange distance of any mirrorless camera and the mount is massive so it can accommodate any lens. I bought the Zf because I can easily adapt all of my e-mount lenses and still get decent AF with a full manual shooting experience. It's awesome!!
I still shoot on the D750 and am not too into video - an upgraded Z5 would probably encourage me to move to mirrorless. I think the Z6 III will cost more than $2,000 and that is more than what I'd like to spend. I started shooting with digital cameras in 2000 and I know that the consumer electronics can fail suddenly at any time. I prefer to spend money on glass as they don't go obsolete so quickly!
Without an adapter your glass is already obsolete for mirrorless bodies.
CFB is actually not twice the speed of CFA, check NikonRumors, they benchmarked the Z8 and it achieves between 600 and 750MB/s writing speed depending on the card. So, you get the full speed only when copying the files from the CFB reader to your PC and that's it. In the camera itself, no performance advantage at all.
Wow, this video quality is insane! What was it shot on? I can literally count the hairs on Tony's chin 😆
Canon R3 + 85 f/1.2
😂😂
I think you're probably right on a lot of points... it may do, for example, the 120 fps but it will be cropped JPEGs. The one "rumor" I am curious about though is people talking about 6k video. From my understanding 6k resolution is typical 6144x3456 which is wider than the current 24.5MP sensor by about 100 pixels. This makes me wonder if they are going to do a 26MP sensor or a 30-33 MP sensor perhaps, or if the 6k rumor is not true and it will remain only 4k but perhaps be able to do something like 4k120. I mean 24.5MP is enough pixels for 6k (about 21MP is needed) but the dimensions would be the problem unless it had say a 30 MP sensor.. So in some respects, if we take the typical 6k resolution, a 24MP sensor wouldn't work as it is currently (which has a resolution of 6048x4048 which gives you the typical 3:2 aspect ratio which pretty much every camera has as its native aspect ratio). On the other hand, if 6144 pixels wide is the total pixels, but screens only display say 6000 pixels wide and not the full 6144 then this may be possible. As for pricing, Nikon has sort of undercut the industry in many wasy (the Z8 is maybe the exception coming in at the same price roughly or slightly higher by $100 at most) over the R5 and A7R V. But the rest of the cameras (Z6, Z7 and Z9) all have come in less than the equivalent competition. So I'm thinking this new Z6 III may be in the $2200-$2300 price range. It's a step up from the Zf, but perhaps will still keep its distance (price-wise) from a higher-res 60MP (perhaps) Z7 III with tech similar to the Zf though at $3000. So by keeping it at $2200-$2300 they can undercut Canon and Sony again.
Nikon was way behind on AF, they finally arrive to modern standards at least with the Z8, and then surprise they put great AF on the entry level ZF,. Now all they have to do is put the great AF in Z6 and Z7 updated, and they solved the single most important issue they had compared to the competition.
Nice breakdown. On editing, I think you should switch to DaVinci if you’re doing N-Log. You made you’re own case for that :)
It will be interesting to see if the Z50 II would be the D500 mirrorless version. I once thought about getting the Z5, but the framerate was too low for me. With Nikon additions to their mirrorless line-up, it just keeps getting better for everyone.
It would be cool if the second camera is a Z70 or Z80. Both would have IBIS, the Z80 would have a stacked sensor. A Z5II is important soon.
The Z6III looks like exactly what it needs to be. Every complaint has a simple response, "You're right. You could have had a Z8."
Hey Tony & Chelsea Northrup... How about a Z 90? Replacement for the D500? Just a thought.
Im very much ready to pull the trigger on the Z6iii, but when will this be happening, its been a long time coming.
I am still waiting for the Z7 III rumors 😢
I'm curious to usually the 6&7 are released at the same time I thought because they're the same except for the sensor size usually.
I'd like the second body to be a Z500 (D500 replacement)
of course there must be one of you guys 😂
Yea. I would love to see it asap :D My Z50s need replacement!
I would line to upgrade from my Z6II to the III based on specs…but works wait for a review of the actual camera first 😊
love my Z5 and would be interested in an upgrade to Z6III. I'm a hybrid shooter and currently use GH5 for video
The purple fringing on this video is just off the chart!
I have a couple of F mount cameras that are now quite old i.e. D610. But as a stills shooter i find all the fancy video specs a total non-event. They could have 500 frames a second and I wouldn’t care or they could have 16k video un-cropped at 120 fps and i still wouldn’t care. To me a solid quality image when I go “click” is all I want. So Nikon what about a “Stills Camera” without all the high performance gunk and at a cheap price to get people into the system, then they can go crazy upgrading to all this “high performance” capability. Cheers
I Agree!!
Panasonic Lumix S5II and S5IIX are also the same level as these cameras but you fail to mention them...
Just waiting on the new Sony A1 II and Sony A7V. 🤷🏻♂️ Can't afford the A1 II which I'm guessing will be like $7-7,500. But hopefully the Sony A7V stays under $2799.
I am looking for an excuse to move to Nikon for the 600/f6.3 lens. Something nonexistent in the Canon lineup. My main concern about the Z6 III is whether or not it will get the same quality autofocus that the Z8 just received with firmware 2.0.
Need Z500 / Z90 whatever they want to call it … Basically a mirrorless stacked sensor D500 please Nikon 🙏🏻
Sorry to burst your bubble, the Z50 was the mirrorless D500.
@phelanwolf6747 No it wasn't
@tony I do believe the sony a7iv doesn't have a symetric card configuration. Its the same a-symmetric setup as the Nikon with the exception of the CFType A/B difference.
the card slot door has no 'CFTypeA' written on the second card slot like on the A7Siii.
Nikon will launch a Z7iii with 61 mp camera as Z7 was already a landscape oriented camera and it will compete the Sony A7rv.
I loved my Nikon D850 but Nikon dropped ball the ball in the early days of mirrorless and I switched to Sony. I'm more than happy with my switch and can't see me switching back anytime soon.
The A7iv does everything I need, has a fantastic 3rd party lens line up and has mire the enough mega pixels.
It is good to see Nikon putting out these brilliant new cameras and it can only push the mirrorless market along. The Nikons are looking really good.
Just bought a Z7ii in December so will have to rein in my GAS problem for a while.
Lumix S5ll might also be considered as alternative, at the moment even significantly cheaper.
The only reason I have not bought a Nikon Z camera is the lack of adapters for AF-D screw drive lenses. If that was available I would buy a Z body.
Sony makes an adapter for Minolta screw drive lenses, so it can be done. I would also like that adapter to read the aperture setting on my AI-s manual focus lenses.
If you're waiting for that, you'll never own a Nikon Z camera. Of course it CAN be done, my D7100 will take screw focus lenses, but they're not going to put that feature for very old lenses in the Z line ever.
Sadly I use to shoot Nikon & I loved it when I had my Nikon D500. When I went mirrorless Nikon at the time had nothing good & I switched to Sony. Now I have full Sony glass w/ my A1 & doesn’t make sense to switch. Z8 sadly a little too late. I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I have a D750, but I can’t fault it. It’s still a great camera, no matter how many other cameras have been released since.
no way this will be $2000. If they were feeling that competitive, they'd allow sigma on their mount and their lenses wouldn't be more expensive than Gmasters
Totally agree. Can't be the same price as the ZF.
I hope it doesn't have a full flippy screen , there is no need to cater to vloggers. The one on the Z8/9 would be ideal.
Hi Tony. Why 61mp? Is it only for cropping or is there a different aesthetic look vs 33mp. I find this so baffling. Thank you.
Looking forward to the ZF review
Two things are tempting in these (guessed) specs for me. The flippy screen and the $2000 price. I doubt about the 2nd though. I think it will be more.
Yeah I don't know where that $2.000 figure is from (probably just copied from the launch price of the Z6 II).
It's pretty clear though that there's going to be a pretty hefty price hike from the launch price of the Z6II to the launch price of the Z6 III.
Nothing wrong with N-Log. What's wrong is still using Final Cut Pro a program that hasn't had any decent updates for a long long time.
if they want to destroy the competition, they should put the z8 sensor in the z6iii and remove a few features. this specs on screen isnt destroying canon or sony its like a variation. i would pick the canon r6ii for the 40fps raw, i would pick the sony for the higher megapixel. why would i pick the nikon tho? that 120fps is jpg, i could get that doing 120fps video in 1080p log! which is flatter than jpg. and who needs 6k. honestly looking at it again, the canon r6ii can do 6k 60p raw external. so this nikon z6iii specs isnt amazing! if they put a fan so it can run unlimited 4k60p, and throw in some nice capability, then would then be interesting.
Trying to buy a second body and further confused with difference between a z6iii and zf - other than body and available functions on camera body.
The missing camera is a high-end aps-c z-mount camera (e.g. a baby Z9/D500 mirrorless type). Cano has the R7, Nikon needs to respond 🙂
Still shooting with Nikon D80! Hope it sells for under 2,500.
Thanks for detailed valuable reviews and photography lessons.
If this is accurate and it does come out soon, as in the next year, I may have my backup body.
If the nikon z6iii manages to get 30+ mpx, it will be my next camera. I'm waiting for it to finally leave my dslr setup
Resolution should not be a primary factor if you still use a DLSR, even with "only" 24 MP the modern sensors make much cleaner images, also the many Z lenses are just so much better in sharpness across the frame and eliminating chromatic abbreviations and focus breathing.
What you should be looking for is how the EVF works, currently only the Z8 and Z9 have an EVF that works properly for action fotography. All the other Z cameras will show a slideshow in H+ mode making it nearly impossible to track a fast moving subject while shooting. Which is why the 11 fps on the original Z6 were defacto useless and the fps had to be dropped to h mode with 5,5 fps to be able to track the subject while shooting.
Most reviewers will NOT even talk about this BIG misconcept. Many also do not tell that most Sony cameras will reduce the EVF resolution instead, while it is the better solution it is not optimal especially compared to OVF.
@@phelanwolf6747 Why don't you let people decide for themselves on what criteria matter to them?
maybe at $2K I will be thinking of going mirrorles, I still have a DSLR that does 95% of all I need and want and I want a 2nd body but I am not willing to pay Z8 prices. I have my eye on the D850 but maybe a miirroless camera could be the answer, and I want to stay in Nikon since I have F lenses / flashes and so on..
I hopw they also lunch the Z50 MII but with a correct flipping screen, not the down low stuff it has now.
Thanks for the video
Any rumors about the auto focus performance?
Great, how is the t, o, * e, y?
Also, I am a Nikon photographer...so I love all the new cameras they have! I just recently bought a used D850, so won't be upgrading anytime soon...but glad that they are trying to make great new cameras for more people!!!
All I want/need from an a7v is a faster sensor, and maybe a second cfe-a slot. I suppose I’m asking for too much. The next one will probably have more mp, a slower sensor, and re-add the memory stick slot 😂
Rumors also says that Nikon Z6iii will do 40fps in electronic shutter mode.
The latest firmware 1.42 of Z5 very much improves the autofocus and adds eye detect. Subject detect locks on better. However AF would still be better on the current Z6ii likely due to dual processors vs. Z5 slower processor. Z5 could use an update to Z5ii. Or Nikon can add a lower price Full Frame for vloggers like a Z3 with stripped down features over Z5. No idea what second camera they may introduce, which is in the rumors to be announced.
Got tired of waiting for the Z6 III, six months ago I financed a Z8. Could not be happier. Here is my rationale. I can buy a $4000 professional camera once every five years, or I can buy a $2500 camera every 18 months as the newer version of the mid-level bodies emerge.
All the while being constantly unhappy, that I am not shooting with a professional grade body.
I really love my Z6. I'm excited for the future of mirrorless. Definitely tempted to upgrade to Z7/Z7ii in the future for that better sensor.
Z6iii or a Z50ii with the new 180-600 and you got yourself a light weight, affordable, state of the art setup.
4:23 whos banging dishes around back there?? lol i hear it in my headphones
I am a Canon shooter and the only Nikon I am considering buying is the Zf. I love the analog controls. If Canon doesn't deliver a killer retro camera and soon I probably will get a Zf 🫡.
Should I get the new A7r V?
The a7V will be an important camera for Sony, especially if the Z6iii is as good as the leaks are. Sony HAS to get their cameras better in the video department, and thankfully that’s what competition is for. Hoping that a7V will be a slam dunk
I decided to get the S5 II instead of the A7IV. Even with all the Sony lenses I have, I just can't do it anymore. I can't do Nikon or Canon either. The S5 II has better low light performance, better video capabilities, better color, and open gate video recording.
Hey Tony, though it might be interesting to have a recurring segment on lens releases at the end of the news. Nothing long but maybe a ahort list with some key features. Aaaanyway, thank you very much for keeping me up to date. Guess my 2nd body next to the Z8 will be the Z6III.
Tony I'm scared to death you'll break those glasses each time you remove them like a news anchor.
I think there is still room in the lineup for a Z7iii if they make it more than 50 mp
I think/hope the z7iii will be there 'landscape' photography focused camera, similar to how most people regard the z7ii.
I'm a RUclipsr who uses a Z6 to do video production. In the studio, I use an external monitor on a light stand. For on-the-go vlogs, I skip the monitor and compose by watching my reflection in the lens. I would welcome a Z6 with a flippy screen. It would make filming on-the-go vlogs easier without the gear investment of building a video production rig.
Something new about the Z50 II ? It was supposed to arrive last year and...nothing yet
Would you buy a Canon R6ii today at a discounted price rather than waiting for the Nikon Z6iii?
My only requirements are that it be great in low light indoor situations without having to use flash, and great, reliable autofocus.
Thank you.
Wonder if the entry level Z5 will ever get updated
I'm still making money from my Z6....and a RUclips channel and many other things. Never complain or thought about replace it. I will see what Z6III have to offer in real life.
Tony compares specs for non exiting camera. Nice.
Chasing a camera update is same as chasing an iPhone-There is no end to it as new products come out every year. If there is something wrong with your photography, most likely it's the fault of the photographer rather than your gears. But of course, there are people out there who have too much money and don't know what to do with it, so the new products will keep them happy.😊
My guess is that the second camera is going to be a Z50II.
First because the competition actually woke up in the APS-C space, Sony released the A6700, Canon released the R10 and R7, the Z50 and Zfc are nice cameras, but when they could compete with the Sony A6400/6600 and the Canon M50, they really fall short against the compatision now. And the APS-C mid range market is HUGE, especially with Fujifilm around with the X-S20, another well priced competitor.
Second is actually a tangible proof and not just an educated guess : Nikon recently (like in late November of last year I think?) refresh the EN-EL50 battery in the EN-EL50a. That ain't uncommon for Nikon, they went until the "e" iteration on the EN-EL3 and are at the "c" iteration on their current main battery type, the EN-EL15c. The thing is that the release of a new model ALWAYS came with new features that were generally available in the new model.
Typically, the EN-EL15B battery was released for improved USB-C charging while the EN-EL15 and EL15a aren't compatible, and that feature was first added in the Z6 in 2018.
The EN-EL15C allows for USB power delivery to the camera, and you guessed it the Z6 isn't compatible, but that feature was released in the Z6II, alongside the new battery.
Nikon added something to the EN-EL50 format, and nothing was added to the Z30/50/fc, so in my opinion another camera using that battery type is about to be released, with very high chances it's an APS-C replacement of the Z50.
To me releasing an update to the Z5 doesn't make much sense, I would rather see Nikon go the Sony way and continue to sell the Z6II at the Z5 pricepoint. A Z5 upgrade would be the Z6/Z6II sensor (doesn't make sense to keep using that old D750 sensor) paired with the Expeed 7 processor... Wait that is the Nikon Zf. And that's 2000 USD.
I'd rather see them continue sellting the Z6II at 1500, with the price slowly coming down to where the Z5 was. Makes more sense to me than releasing another Zf with a deep grip (imho)
[ALSO, quick comment about the OG Z6 and the Z5 cause they get a lot of flak in this video for their bad AF performance :
BOTH the Z6 and Z5 had very deep firmware update cycles, and they are completely different when it comes to performance to what they were on launch day. I use day to day a Z6 with the latest firmware and it's undistinguishable from a Z6II now, AF is accurate and consistent, only major advantage the Z6II has is the new focus modes (which I don't use anyway, I use tracking or dynamic point focusing) and the deeper buffer (as well as the SD card). But performance wise for autofocus, Z6, Z5 and Z6II are pretty much all the same : very accurate, Sony A7III level (still not quite up to the A7IV but still very good)
Bottom line : if you were on the fence about one of those cameras, don't watch reviews from release time. They will not reflect what the camera is TODAY (and they were indeed pretty bad on launch day)]
I have found the APS-C market cameras to often be too dumbed down. I hated the Canon M50. When I go small, I much prefer the Micro Four Thirds ecosystem. It has better video options, more lens choices, and I actually like the 4:3 aspect ratio over 3:2. Especially when recording open gate video with an anamorphic lens. Plus I can fit a whole system with every lens I need all in a small bag for the road.
Thank you for your words in regards to the z6. I am making my living with it and altough i would love to have newer gear, I dont really need it. Invest in lenses instead kids:)
@@ElMundoDuro The M50 was my first mirrorless, I sold it within 3 months and "downgraded" happily to a Fujifilm X-T1
The a74 only has one cfxa slot
oooh my bad
Why are more megapixels "higher end"? Some smartphones have 200 megapixels and that comes with a lot of downsides. The R3 with 24 megapixels still has the cleanest image, although it is a three year old camera.
If the z5ii comes with a IBS, that will be the top selling camera for Nikon.
Did you mean IBIS or BSI sensor? I'm guessing the latter, but that's exactly why I'm skeptical whether Nikon will even produce a Z5 II. An updated Z5 with a BSI sensor and good AF would indeed be their best-selling camera, by far. And thus Nikon would lose out on a lot of revenue. So I'm afraid they'll never make Z5 II and instead try to get as many people as possible to pay 2.000+ for a Z6 III or ZF. And the rest, like myself, will continue to use their Z5 until it breaks and then switch to Sony.
@@CC3GROUNDZERO sorry I meant BSI. Only reason why I went with a used z6ii for $1,300 vs a brand new z5 for $999 was because of they BSI sensor.
Do I regret buying the used z6ii, yes because the control center screen came cracked and when I returned, they put the blame on me. So got rejected.
A7 IV was released in october 2021 while R6 II in november 2022. A competitive reply from Nikon is waited so long time. It is the minimum to provide better specification in all aspect, however based on this rumors I would rather name it Z5 II.
All aspects is unrealistic. R6ii and A7iv certainty didn’t better the specs of Z6ii in all aspects.
If they have great trade in deals then I'll definitely upgrade from my Z6ii .
Have you heard about the new Pentax K-1 Mark III?
There is just something about those Pentax great colors
No problem. I use both. Nikon and Sony.
Do you adapt lenses among them?
"I want to see the lake Tony, let me see the lake!" Just saw the apology video of Casey. it was funny. Just wanted to say - Don't take yourself too serious Tony!
The Canon R6II‘s 40fps raw are only 12/10 bit, definitely not 14 bit.
Nikon z5 has updated af perfomens.
There is no compelling argument to suggest the Z6III -- at 24 megapuxrls anyway -- could not do 120fps without crop, at least 8f it's gotbeithrr a stacked sensor or an LVDS interface upgrade in bandwidth over previous versions.
Consider from a mpment the OMDS Olympus OM-1 from 2022, a 20 megapixel camera that does 120fps raw. You don't think two kied years of industry tech development could maybe do just a tad better... and they say JPEG, they're using CFexpress rather than SD UHSII cards.
Maybe they did not, but that could have easily been done.
Z7 has received a LOT of firmware updates do improve focusing and white balance. I guess some people didn't received the memo!
*R6II can shoot 6K60 pro res raw with ninja V, so Z6III is very comparable.
Could they back an AI version of interlacing to improve the sensor read out speed? That way you could maintain the aspect ratio, and not have to crop. AI would interplate the missing info better than before.
Did you notice that Nikon acquired Red? Now, you have something to speculate about 😅
Dropping the Z7 would be a mistake IMHO. The Z7 is the dedicated landscape camera in the Nikon lineup. As far as I can see from the dpreview test charts there is a visible drawback in image quality for the Z8, which is the new sports camera of the brand. Expecting customers that look for the best IQ for landscape to buy a Z8 which ist bigger, heavier and with inferior IQ just because it has a similar price tag wouldn't be a smart move.
I don't think Sony and Canon are to concerned about this.
The R6 II can shoot 40 FPS raw and will probably still be superior in terms of autofocus and subject detection/tracking, and the A7 IV is old by now and will probably be replaced soon.
Still waiting on the D500 successor... desparately need a new camera but going FF is gonna cost a pretty penny if you want to get pro level glass. Would love to use my Sigma F1.8 zooms on mirrorless tech, they are still incredibly sharp lenses.
Is there pro-level DX glass for any Z camera?
@@paulmckenna5224 I wouldn't care. I would use F mount Sigma lenses and then start to build up to FF Z mount. Going straight from D500 to Z8 with DX lenses wouldn't make any sense
You said you were waiting for a D500 successor, which would be a DX camera. Any FF camera would not be a "successor" to the 500. The Z8 is a fantastic camera, but not the D500 successor.
@@paulmckenna5224 Exactly but Z50 is also crap for wildlife and sports that I do shoot and D500 is capable at that. I'll get eventually 2 bodies anyway but I need to do the steps in right order so I need successor to D500 and then get Z8 mark whatever when I get to that
You didn't compare to the s5iix. Understandable, it's a less popular camera but it's arguably the best value and most featur-rich hybrid camera in the price range especially for those requiring robust video features. The z6iii would be very compelling with 6k open gate 60fps with a stacked sensor for $2k - hands down. Photo-wise, i'm just not excited about yet another 24mp camera no matter how fast it shoots. I feel like everyone has a 24mp sensor that takes phenomenal photos and that's existed since the a7iii. It's just not especially exciting in 2024. For a photo-first camera in 2024, id want to be seeing bodies start at 28 mega pixels. Is it strictly necessary? Of course not, but that extra cropping ability is nice to have.
Tony you really have a problem with Nikon .
In what way in your experience is the lack of mechanical shutter holding back the Z9 and 8 ?
Am one outdoor photographer who does more than 300 soots annually and the lack of the mechanical shutter in those cameras never held me back working with flashes and strobes .
Your claim of Nikon making a mistake in removing the mechanical shutter is baseless.

You think we have a problem with Nikon when we gave the Z8 AND Z9 the camera of the year?
@@TonyAndChelsea I can set my flash sync speed on my Z8 to 1/200. It can be set higher with HSS using the 1/200FP or 1/250FP. In your other video you say that 1/160 is the max sync speed for the Z9.
Would upgrade my Z6 for 34MP but not for 24MP. I shoot mostly landscape, wildlife, and macro.
used to think tony knew what he was talking about. oh sweet summer child.
If its vari angle only. I plan on getting z6-2 or z7-2 secondhand. If its vari and tilt combine, ill get the z6-3
I love the design of z6. Im using z50. Small size if very critical for street shooter like me
I dont mind autofocus. Nikon should add more manual focus assist like fuji.
I’m extremely happy shooting the ZF, Z8 & Z9 and don’t shoot video. So, the Z6III doesn’t especially appeal to me for what I’m doing. That said, the Z6III might just be the best choice for someone switching out from an entry-level camera in another brand that wants to shoot stills and video, especially sports, action & wildlife using Nikon’s superior Z glass. Just Saying…
