is it better than the Nikon 35mm 1.8 z

[@AngryAnt0]

It really is! My friend joked (in a nice way) about how small it is and I replied it was just shy, then we saw the photos and were blown away by a lens that is that [relatively] cheap. It's amazing for the price point and convinced my to invest more into primes as a result.

[@destinyangel5]

Great review and needed upgrade over the older Z6II . The USD is about 40% stronger than most Asia pacific markets, so in Australia right now the price listed is a crazy $4500 AUD, New Zealandanders will pay a whopping $5000 NZD and in Europe a massive 3000 euros . It's just too expensive outside USA right now, with most international currencies taking a big hit against USD .

Another fan of that 40mm. What a great lens

[@thomaschamberlin2485]

Nobody gets a charger with the Zf or Z6iii. I heard that we can blame Europe, according to Matt Irwin. They have a law that will kick in soon that forbids electronic items to include a charger in an effort to decrease electronic waste. You can use the older charger so they presume you already have one (I did, but I just gave mine away when I sold my D750). Mostly a phone thing (they are responsible for forcing Apple to USB-c charge their phones), but cameras got caught up in the law. I will be buying a new charger for the Zf. And yes, the 40mm f2 is by far my most used lens now. I even let my F mount 50mm f1.4 G go with the D750.

[@craigjohnchronicles2504]

Nikon has been hitting homers since the announcement of the Z9. Really liking what they did with the ZF (not crippling the camera like they did with the DF), and the now the Z6 III. Really pushing the tech, and blurring the lines in many ways between the upper level cameras and their lower level cameras. Now they need to give us a Z30 sized camera with the tech of the ZF/Z6III with a crop sensor, for $1,600 (a la the Sony a6700)... The Tamron lenses are much better than they probably should be. I used to use Nikon's old 180mm f/2.8 prime. It wasn't a fast autofocus lens by any stretch, but the IQ was beautiful, and it was small and light. I use now the Nikon (read Tamron made) 70-180/2.8, not because it's inexpensive, because it's much smaller and lighter than the Nikon 70-200/2.8 VR lenses. Gives me the ability to compress the background, and gives me extra reach beyond my 85 for the rare times I want that extra reach. The IQ is fantastic. Not perfect for some people I'm sure, but it's fantastic for me.

[@alanm.6096]

It will be a great camera to consider when it finally goes on sale.

[@jorgepinogarciadelasbayonas]

Tony Northrup tries to badmouth at Nikon every possible chance. His video about dynamic range was blown up. He tries to create insecurity among Nikon users or interested buyers. Look at his miserable "Nikon Zf Review". The comments on this review speak for themselves.

[@blade1535]

[@kytoober5137]

I stop watching their videos a while ago, along with bashing Nikon he has set objectively incorrect stuff with full confidence. Now if their videos were off the cuff it would be one thing, but you could tell they're meticulously planned. I've used all three mirrorless systems and I got to say Canon was a lot more on unimpressive than what it hyped up to be. Great system but seemed on par with its peers not any better as many canon shooters will try to sell you.

Hi, thanks for the video and congratulations for the beautiful shots. I just bought the Nikon Z6 III but I can't preview the exposure in real time or even the histogram. I'm desperate, because following the online manuals I still can't figure it out. Could you help me? Thanks in advance 🙏

[@ruff1draft]

I am looking forward to seeing what Nikon does with the Nikon Z5 Mark 2. Hopefully on the future Nikon Z5 Mark 2 they only change the screen to the screen that is on the Panasonic S1H and that the Nikon Z5 Mark 2 has unlimited recording time limit with no crop in 4k 60P.

[@zetorek83]

[@jeremy.gadomski]

What do you think about stabilisation in video compared to other brands ? It seems to be a little choppy at 3:00 (the ibis shift to the right). I see some wobble effect on the side of the image at 1:22 too. The Lumix S5ii is certainly better on this point ? Thx for the beautiful shots !

[@japandrew]

I notice the ibis wobbles too... it seems to be said that Nikon ibis does a great job at longer focal lengths but at what wider angle do the wobbles kick in? Idk 🤷 Are there certain wobble-inducing movements one would need to practice NOT making when filming? 🤷 Of course a gimbal with ibis switched off would remove wobbles... but also remove the convenience of hybrid hand held shooting.... Or a catalyst browse style post stabilisation software from gyro data (with different levels of smoothness!) - does this exist for Nikon? Lots of questions... no answers from me 😅

[@joshkiddfilms1295]

have you tried sport mode? To me it seems more natural

[@williambuford6136]

I hope Nikon can improve this with firmware updates

[@waynerm002]

To get the Z8 to perform well with the eVR, the shutter speed has to be set at 1/250 or higher, I suspect this is the same with the Z9, Zf and Z6 III. I can say about the Z6/6 II as I no longer have one but, anyone with one of the other Z cameras can test it. You can see how it looks as I have a video on my channel where I tested this.

[@GeoffKirby]

Great video as ever Taylor. So glad you are considering coming back to Nikon for your weddings. At the moment I am shooting with a Z8 and the Z6ii for my weddings and I want to upgrade to the Z6ii for the Z6iii. Did you see Tony Northups video about the lack of Dynamic range on the shadow areas, he made a big meal out of how crap it is, but I'm thinking Nikon isn't his fav brand at the moment as they don't give his pre-released cameras to try out. Any way in your 2 weeks of using the camera have you come across any issues with noisy shadow areas in lowlight. As long is it's better that the Z8 after 1600 iso I'm happy to get the Z6iii.

[@SanoyNimbus]

I hope Nikon will come with two new DX cameras soon. A Z50 II similar to size to the Z50 but with USB-C and a lot of new features. And a Z60! A DX version of the Z6III, same body and with an all features just slightly cheaper than the full frame camera .... :) ...

[@djtoman6875]

I think they need to come up with a mirrorless version/update of the fantastic D500. I shoot a lot of sports and action, and me and tons of my fellow Nikon shooters shoot the D500. One of my friends only shoots the D500 and has three or four bodies. Mine still looks and feels new and does everything I ask from it, so I won't be looking to replace it in the short term, but there does seem to be a gap in the Nikon lineup for a similar DX body suitable for sports and action.

[@lukaszszsszsz]

I wanted to buy a Z6III, but in Poland the price is around $3,300, which is a crazy price. I have a ZF + Z6II, I also do weddings. For now, this set is enough for me. I have a question, does AF work in the same way in the Z6III as in the ZF? And are the color of the RAW files similar in ZF and Z6III?

9:32 Nikon is saving money by only including USB-C comply with EU laws. Most electronics manufacturers will be adopting no battery charger, to reduce ewaste.

[@DownstreamV]

Hey man! Thanks for the videos. I have had 2 of these cameras now and whenever recording after 1-2 seconds it says recording interrupted and stops recording. I’ve changed sd cards and batteries etc but still keeps doing it. Once again I’ve sent one back already and the new one is doing the same thing. Have you heard of this issue or run into it. I use really nice cards so don’t see that being an issue. Z8 works perfectly fine with the same cards.

[@jonnymurgatroyd856]

Taylor! You shoot so many systems and edit your probably one of the best people to ask about color science! I switched from Sony a7r3 to Fuji xt5 and I'm convinced I see differences even with my raws. My heart is in landscapes but I moved from Canada to Scotland and I'm heavily considering doing weddings. Do you find differences or prefer any of your systems for color science? Anything should be achievable in RAW but what's your take?

[@dafyddthomas7299]

Yes agree with you on Video Backups - even if the backup was optional and the Quality was say max to 1080P 60 FPS this would be sufficient as a backup; just in case ( unlikely with CFE but still possible ) the main card gets corrupted / damaged. Also agree that pre-capture Raw option - would be handy

[@scotthayesproductions5715]

I suggested to the Nikon rep last week during the hands on, even if they capped dual recording at say, 4K60p, we videographers would be happy. So, until that happens, I have to keep my Sony kit for video, and only use my Z8, when I have full control to do something over, IF I lose any footage. so far, it's been fine, and the image quality is superb using the LUT with NLOG.

[@musicpoetry2009]

Taylor, the Auto- ISO on nikon starts at the ISO you actually are. That means, if you are at ISO 1600 and want to change to AUTO ISO, your starting lowest ISO will be 1600 ! So then you have to anyway change it to the lowest one. That means not so different from Sony.

[@MeilikPepper]

6:14 I always thought that cameras should come in 2 options for the screen if they’re not like the GH6 or the A7RIV, the T series for tilt screen and the F series for the fully articulating one.

[@MrEcruz70]

What do you prefer for wedding photography sony or nikon?

[@TaylorJacksonPhoto]

Both are great. It’s honestly a toss up. All things considered for photography maybe Nikon wins by a bit for cost for features. Their Z 1.8 glass is pro level, and I have access to all my old Nikon f lenses. But for doing photo and video coverage I prefer Sony for the only reason that they allow video recording to 2 card slots

Why is there even a comparison video needed? The ii´s are rebagged first gen´s with minor updates ... the af of the ii´s aren't even close to the 6iii not even mentioned the z8/9!! If you need sth to relay on then go for the iii, the 7ii is not a professional tool, and didn't even mention the video specs from the z6iii. The z6iii will get even better with the next updates, the ii are at the end of the Hardware, of course the iii is. more expensive but way more efficient and future proof ✌

[@csc-photo]

So when you shoot video with no ND, do you just set the shutter to whatever? Or is there kind of an optimum higher shutter speed when you're not doubling the frame rate?

It has a lot of micro contrast from what I can tell. I see so much detail especially when shooting black and white. I agree about the card slots and the rear LCD screen working both ways. My first DSLR was a Canon T6s and it has a fully articulating screen like that. It comes in handy when you're in a spot where you can't stand behind the camera. I had to pay for a wrong just last month and I may have another one to pay for next year. I might not can get a camera at all next year. We'll see.

Thanks for another informative and enjoyable video. Do you think that it might be time for camera makers to stop having microphone and headphone jacks and switch to Bluetooth and/or USB-C for audio purposes? (A body like a Z6III could certainly support 2 or 3 USB-C ports.)

[@photo2000]

How is it my Z6 with an adapter was $2200, and the Z6iii is $4300?? that's a hell of lot of inflation. Either the Z6 was under priced because they new it wasn't ready for the market (and or wanted to get people into mirrorless), or the Z6iii is over-priced trying to recover some R&D costs... 🤷🤷

[@therampanthamster]

[@tannerjagim4241]

Most stacked sensors or in this case partially stacked sensors have slightly worse DR than non stacked. However, it looks like even thought the DR isn’t top of class it seems as if it way more than good enough for every style of photography especially if you do a bit of fast moving or portrait photography where animal/people tracking is needed. From what I’ve seen on charts it has just barely worse DR than the Z8 and Z9 but those are also top of class 45mp cameras. You could check Nigel Danson’s video on the z6iii to see some landscape photography examples as well.

I have already shot several wedding videos with this camera. And I can say that Nikon has a long way to go to become a good camera for video shooting ((, There is no open gate, no choice of video bitrate, due to the fact that the USB and HDMI ports are located close to the screen, it becomes impossible to rotate when connecting the cables, the battery works very well and there is no overheating of the camera in 4k/60, Autofocus at the level of Sony cameras, I also want to note the good recording sound at the level stabilization of Sony cameras (not good and not bad). the dynamic range is good
