Nikon Z6III - Why This Is The Most Important Nikon Camera

[@bubby372]

Been shooting Nikon since the 70's. i would never think of using any other brand of camera.

[@The_BoringLife]

@@The_BoringLife I also ave been shooting Nikon since the film days on a Nikon F2, but Nikon needs a LOT of work before they ge my money for a video camera.

And comment, as I did. Which I think affects the algorithm as well. All because we have a sense of what's right, which he's taking advantage of. Adding a dislike. Maybe that will affect things. I haven't even started watching yet, and have no intention to do so.

[@Eliehbk]

@@starbase218 Indeed. That's a shame. Especially, when camera makers are struggling to stay in the market in the age of abundance of cameras with an apple on them!

[@maxpovey6877]

I really think you and most people online are misunderstanding what Gerald undone says about the dynamic range of this camera. RAW codecs are always going to be noisier than compressed ones, the reason other manufacturers are getting better numbers is because they're applying in camera NR then compressing that further. Gerald said himself with a little bit of NR in post the Z6iii falls in line with other similar mirrorless cameras

[@bamboojled8919]

Exactly!!! Anyone referring to the dynamic range (that doesn't under the basics that RAW codecs are going to be noisier because they are RAW and don't have noise reduction baked-in), should not be commenting on it.

[@williambuford6136]

Totally Agree with you!!!

[@nigerian-nightmare]

It's not real what he said. He was trying to be nice before you guys came after him. He mentioned that with NR in post, you can achieve around 11.5 to 12 stops. This is lower than Sony and Panasonic and almost 2 stops lower than the Fuji XH2s. He also suggested that it would be great for Nikon to introduce an updated log profile to further enhance the dynamic range of Z6III." So, for now, the dynamic range in Z6III kind of sucks.

Name a popular or widely used lens that isn't available for the Z mount? Lens size is a plus because Nikon doesn't skimp on quality, like focus breathing. If this camera had a Canon or Sony label it would be all over KZbin as the greatest at that price.

Saviour for Nikon? That's a silly comment! 🤔

[@angeloplayforone]

Can you explain which lenses you mis from the Nikon Z mount? Are you are expecting that Nikon full open their mount as Sony did, simply because when they began mirrorless the didn’t have lenses? Please explain which focal length and aperture you mis? What I see is that you expect Viltrox, Samyang/ Rokinon, Tamron and Sigma release all their lenses in the Z mount. The issue is that many of this manufacturers does not see place in the Z mount. The only lenses I can think are f1.4 primes and 70 - 200 f4.0. The Tamron, Viltrox and Sigma are simply complementing Nikon.

[@kylemeshna]

I’d very much like a 16-35 f2.8, a 35 f/1.4, and more compact lenses in general. I also really love Sony’s newer compact G zooms And Sony opening their mount makes the selection much more robust and affordable, which is what attracts a lot of people to the system. Again, optically the Nikon glass is incredible, and they’ve expanded the offering very nicely in recent years. But they’re still behind Sony (which is understandable because they got a head start)

[@kjltube]

The 35mm f1.4 should come out this week. The nearest zoom range would be the Nikon 17-28mm f2.8 (yes I know it’s a Tamron in disguise but it is still a similar zoom range)

[@bamboojled8919]

with the Z 70-180 2.8, you don't need a 70-200 f/4

[@williambuford6136]

@@kylemeshna Not sure if Nikon will do a 16-35 f2.8, but a 35 f1.2 is on the roadmap. I would not be surprised to see it this year. Nikon should make some wide primes below 20mm f1.8.

[@waveland]

The last time I checked file sizes, NRAW is similar to BRAW which is similar to ProRes 4:2:2 HQ in terms of bit rates. Now ProRes RAW has crazy big files. That’s a very different situation. As far as the cost of cards, a 512GB CFExpress card runs about $130 these days, but try buying a v90 SD card of the same size. Those are north of $500. CFExpress has become very affordable.

Sony loses when it comes to slow firmware updates, small E-mount, and slow adoption of cfexpress type b cards. In terms of speed, the Z6 III 120 fps burst mode does not encounter buffer issues like how the A9 III does. Hands down Z6 III is best in class atm.

Yeaaa definitely the first time a lot Of younger shooters are getting into using Nikon. It’s usually a old people Community so you’ve all have been spoiled by dual native ISO’s and what not. Most must now know how raw video recording works. Dual native ISO’s don’t matter anymore with raw video. It’s RAW not internally compressed. It’s just a different work flow with a much better outcome since you get to determine the amount of NR to use. And all this without the need of a atomos ninja is the bees knees. I just bought my z6iii today and plan to make a small review about it from the perspective of a avid z8 user and fx3 raw shooter I’ve also dealt with other cinema raws with canon and Panasonic as well as fujifilm. Raw is raw but I’ll give a real perspective if anyone’s interested

[@fwfeo]

I’m looking forward to your review! Sounds like a great comparison! 👌

[@JerryPH]

I've been a Nikon shooter for decades... what made me look elsewhere for my video needs are the following: RELATIVELY affordable, no Open Gate 8k @ 60FPS recording to an external SSD. Do that, my order will be placed within 30 minutes.

A bit soft on the edges at higher apertures, but honestly to be expected. Sad it was a full moon this week, cuz I really wanna get some Astro with it. Will report back!

[@qamstel]

This is a must buy for me. The video specs are unmatched and photography wise the camera is amazing. I can ramp up my transition from stills to a hybrid shooter. Knowing Nikon in the next year or so there will be some goodies in terms of firmware updates and I can’t wait for it! 🤩

[@emmettbrown3366]

What zoom lens for this camera can you recommend for video shooting? I would like something hi quility and universal so first I was looking closely to the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S.

@@dwanelkemprai4983 The S5iix offers a better dynamic range, dual recording, the ability to shoot to an external SD card, the ability to shoot open gates, and a shutter angle and waveform for monitoring. The autofocus on x5IIX may be better than Z6III since Z6III autofocus sits between z6II and Z8, and S5IIX autofocus is on par with Z8. The 60p crop on S5IIX is down-sampled from 6K, resulting in sharp and crisp footage. Don't forget IBIS; you can shoot BRAW with S5IIX, producing a smooth color grading experience with Danvici. I assume you use Davinci; if you are not, I will encourage you to switch as soon as possible. The only thing that Z6III can do better is 6k60p without a crop. So, if you anticipate doing a lot of slow-motion shooting, you should consider Z6III. Otherwise, s5IIX is a better video camera for me.

Glad you mentioned lens selection as still an issue compared to competitors. My favorite focal length is 28mm and until Nikon makes a 28mm fast high quality prime lens, I will not be buying a Nikon again. Nikon has talked a good game about opening up their lens mount to 3rd parties but the jury is still out on that. All that said, I'm excited to Nikon making strides with their camera tech and I hope the z6III is a big success so there's more chance of Nikon being a system I return to. I shot Nikon in the DSLR days and I still love their ergonomics and sharp lenses.

[@hishamosman4341]

When I look at what Canon"s two bodies to the table, which are the R1 and R5II, I say Nikon could sleep easy. Right now, Nikon has all price point bodies covered, perhaps only missing the mirrorless version of D500. I believe Nikon has turned many non-Nikon shooters to their brand. Their Z lenses to me is among the best in the world right now. It covers all focal ranges, from 14mm right up to 800mm. Looking the prices of lenses from Canon and Sony, which costs more is also a plus point for Nikon. For the past 6 months, Nikon has allowed third party lenses for their Z mount and that is a great blessing as well. I will not be surprise to read by year end that Nikon will record their best ever sales in history

[@fwfeo]

Good videos mate! Nikon users are appearing very defensive in the comment section! As a former and current Nikon user who have tried Sony, Fuji and Canon mirrorless cameras, I think Sony, Canon then Nikon and Fuji in terms of reliability rating. Nikon DSLRs were one thing, but on the mirrorless side they’re playing catch up. Shooting events with A7iii and 4 is a breeze as they lock onto eyes immediately and you’re good to go! Same with inanimate objects. Canons are pretty good too and very easy to use. Coming back to Nikon, it’s not as straightforward as those two. It’s similar to Fuji in some ways. A camera company and product you want to love and support, but at a pro level you can’t risk missing the critical moments, because the AF hunted for a split second!! 🤷‍♂️

[@UpgradeLemonade]

Fun video and good points, clearly people in the comments havent watched the video. Nikon is also 3rd in global sales behind Sony and Canon . so while its not going away(which you said yourself), they have room to grab market share and have the better shot over Fuji or lumix

[@carlmcneill1139]

One thing a lot of non Nikon shooters know about the new Nikon z lenses is that most of them have little to no focus breathing. There's also little to no chromatic aberration either. Focus breathing can be an issue for landscape photographers if yet focus stack images. It makes it harder for the software to stitch it together. But it's also an issue if you shoot video. Focus breathing causes pulsing in the video. Sony and Canon have a lot of lenses with focus breathing issues. The cameras are just part of the system. Nikon has built everything around this new z mount which is the largest mount of all of them. They also have the closest phlange distance of the full frame bodies. That is what allows the engineers to develop the lenses better. Look what they did with the 135mm Plena lens. Yes some of the lenses are heavier but Nikon is going for image quality over convenience or carrying. Sony and Canon also make great cameras and lenses along with everyone else. And every brand suffered a decline after cell phone cameras got better. People don't buy cheap camera like they did in the day for things like birthday parties, family reunions, kids growing up, etc. Everybody who has a cell phone has a camera with them at all times.

[@phenanrithe]

Check your facts. N-RAW *is not* REDCODE RAW and has nothing to do with RED's acquisition, which was only done in April - do you have any idea much time it takes to build a camera? N-RAW, which is in Z9 and Z6III, is TicoRAW (you can look it up to see where it's coming from). Since it's compressed in a specialized chip, you won't find RED's RAW in that generation, provided it has any upside vs N-RAW, which I doubt. It's not something you can simply upgrade by firmware.

[@steves1015]

From what I understand though, Nikon were in legal trouble because they overstepped into Red's patent with their N-RAW, and that is why the Red acquisition is a good thing.

Nikon has far better autofocus in video recording plus has been class leading in video mode since launching mirrorless cameras. Ergonomic are not subjective Nikon and Canon Cameras are the best period Sony doesn’t even come close. Touch to focus and touch class leading in Nikon Weather sealing class leading in Nikon Well layed out buttons that all old generations owners can relate to plus customizable. Ohhh let me tell how about you buy a Nikon 17-35 2.8 that Sony users use to adapt or 17-55 2.8 or the 16-80 2.8-4 orrrr the 16-35 F4 F Mount that is if you can’t afford the legendary 14-24 2.8 or the 14-30 F4 Z Mount personally I’d take 20mm 1.8 any day or the 16mm Viltrox 1.8 or 20mm 1.8 for $250 and move my legs if I crave this range So may I say what the H**l are you talking about! 😂 I guess I’m a Nikon fanboy lol did I forget that Nikon color contrast 3D pop you can’t get it on Sony yeah you can sit for an hr to fix in post if your time is not meaningful to you. Plzzzz I know you put a lot of work into creating video YT content better be non biased.

Well well, it's 2500 Dollars in the US and 3000€ (!) in the EU. It's way, way more expensive than the z6 and z6ii at launch. I'm not buying it right now. For 2500€ it would've been a no brainer...

Nikon fills a market segment where previous models were not competitive against the competition. But is it too late? In recent years, many photographers and photo enthusiasts have chosen to abandon the brand in favor of Sony, Canon, and Fuji. It's evident that since the production of mirrorless cameras began, Nikon has fallen behind. The new Nikon Z6 III seems to be an excellent camera on paper. Personally, I've always used Nikon, with their extraordinary DSLRs. I've also worked with the Nikon Z6 II professionally, but I found it unreliable for eye detection autofocus, etc. Consequently, I switched to Sony and, staying in the same segment, I find the Sony 7 IV exceptional. Moreover, Sony's lens lineup is very extensive. Despite Nikon's high-quality build, viewfinder, and display, I won't go back. I think too much importance is given to technology. Personally, what I look for in a professional camera is reliable autofocus, quality, and feel. With Sony, for years, I've been able to get what I had with Nikon DSLRs. I still hope that Nikon achieves the success it deserves with this new camera, but I think the competition is very fierce and that it's difficult for those who have switched to other brands to decide to go back, especially for economic reasons.

Stabilization falls short of Sony ...really...you are the one who claim this

[@kylemeshna]

Yes. I found the image stabilization to be worse for video than my Sony FX3

[@ardl7099]

Actually stabilization like sony is what i want , coz sometimes i need handheld shoot , n sony stabilization result is the most natural looks

[@Cary_mac]

Sorry but Nikon mirrorless development has been less than ideal, especially with their lenses. People will combat it but weight alone, then the 50mm Noct, and putting 1.8 S lenses out before 1.4 is quite comical if you ask me. Oh and their overall design? Cmon they’re absurd how big they are. Remember the Nifty 50 from Canon? Why in gods name is a 50mm 1.8 so effing big? I say this because I would LOVE to get back into Nikon but there is really. Nothing seriously compelling for me to change back from Sony. I left before they had the Z6ii which was a “step in the right direction” but comparatively, their lens selection is heavier, less robust and their bodies were still behind in AF in comparison. Look, I’ve used every camera brand and Nikon, as a whole, has not been a stand out in Mirrorless in my honest opinion.

You can use a Sony lens on the Nikon, but not a Nikon on the Sony; Nikon win!

The dynamic range hit will def not age well, when the a7v or the R6iii is to be released after this (providing they can also shoot raw then)

[@bamboojled8919]

The low dynamic range HAS been debunked... by Gerold Undone himself in that very same video... in RAW, the camera shows less dynamic range to cameras that don't have RAW, however, that is because the Raw files do not have any baked-in noise reduction, and once you add the same level of noise reduction that the competition has baked in the non-RAW files, the Nikon is equivalent and in some cases better. Again, Gerold Undone explains this perfectly, and shows the proof, but it is easier to be lazy and just parrot one part of his comments without taking into account everything else he said about it right after.

Nikon Australia is ripping off Australian consumers.... RRP $2500usd converted to AUD is approx $3740aud. Yet Z6iii being sold in Australia for $4499!!

[@davidwood5663]

I noticed that too. Seems like an Australian market tactic for new releases, then after initial enthusiast sales are exhausted the price will drop. Currently one can buy a Sony A7RV for the same AUD4500 price, that is not helping Nikon for potential brand switchers.

[@bronzepodcast]

Same in Europe. They priced it at 2999€ which is around 3100$. Insane.

To be honest, I never looked at Nikon because of the screen. I thought they were being stubborn for not doing a flip screen just like how stubborn their fan base are. Now its all good.

[@nigerian-nightmare]

Why are Nikon shooters so sensitive and quick to bully anyone who says something negative about Nikon cameras? You all need to relax. It's great that Nikon is finally catching up, but once Sony and Canon announce their new lineups, Nikon will likely fall behind again. I know I will be getting Z6III just to be able to shoot 6k60 RAW initially like my Black Magic. Other than that, this camera has nothing to offer; other cameras have not been doing for years now.

[@kylemeshna]

Crazy thing is this video is so positive about Nikon lol. I love the z6iii

[@nigerian-nightmare]

@@kylemeshna I know. Some of them ignored all the positive stuff you said and latched on to one little comment you made that wasn't even a knock on Nikon.
