According to our mirrorless camera expert
The Nikon Z6III Body is a powerful camera for demanding photographers and videographers. It has a 24.5-megapixel semi-stacked sensor, which ensures faster image processing. This allows you to capture RAW images at 20 photos per second, and in JPEG at 60 photos per second. You're hardly bothered by with rolling shutter, which is an image error where the lines in your photo or video aren't straight. The semi-stacked sensor also reduces blackouts because of the viewfinder, which is useful if you're taking a burst. The Z6III has an improved viewfinder with a 6-megapixel resolution and a 4000-nit brightness. As a result, you can view clear images with lots of detail. Thanks to the high 120 fps refresh rate, the image via the viewfinder looks smooth. You can record in 4K resolution at 120 fps. Want more freedom in post-editing? Record 12-bit internal RAW footage in 6K resolution at 60 fps. You can also edit the colors of these videos even more precisely.
Extensive functionsThe autofocus of the Z6III recognizes 9 subjects: people, birds, dogs, cats, cars, bikes, motorcycles, trains, and airplanes. It can accurately focus on and follow them when they move. You can take sharp photos this way. Thanks to the focus point VR, the image stabilization centers around the focused subject, so you don't see any motion blur around your subject. That¿s useful if you¿re taking portrait photos. Thanks to the 3D subject recognition, the camera adjusts the focus by itself. If you accidentally focus on the clothes, the camera adjusts the focus back to the eyes of the model right away.
Pre-release captureOnce you half-press the shutter release button, the camera records footage. This function is called pre-release capture. If you press the shutter release button all the way, the camera saves the footage it recorded a second ago. This way, you won¿t miss a moment.

After a few weeks of shooting and filming with the Nikon Z6 III, I can honestly say that this is a camera that's a joy. It simply feels great to use: fast, reliable, and with images that immediately captivate you. The autofocus is lightning-fast and stays where you want it—and that really makes a difference, especially after the latest update. What surprised me is how versatile it is. Whether you're tracking birds in flight, photographing children moving in all directions, or shooting smooth video in 4K/120p, the Z6 III handles it all effortlessly. I'm coming from the Z7, so yes, there are fewer megapixels, but honestly, I don't miss them. The dynamic range is excellent, and the speed and smart features more than make up for it. In short: this is a camera that inspires confidence, whether you're shooting photos or videos. To me, the Z6 III feels like a true all-rounder that can handle anything.

I've had the III with the Nikkor 24-70/4 lens for a few weeks now, but here are my first impressions. The camera is handy and easy to use. I found the weight to be reasonable. The lens doesn't extend on its own (very handy). The screen is very flexible. In practice: Autofocus is very fast and accurate, even when capturing moving animals. Focusing and tracking specific subjects works very well (it can distinguish up to nine subjects and track them in 3D). The pre-capture function is also very useful, allowing you to be "on time" more often. It shoots quickly: the burst, the capture, the focusing.
All in all, it produces beautiful, colorful photos with a good depth of field. I suspect the partially stacked CMOS sensor contributes to this. Filming is smooth and good, but not very extensive so far. Cloud storage seems like a plus, but it's not yet set up that way. Any drawbacks? Well, I couldn't get the Quick menu to adjust, but that might be me (getting used to it) and sometimes I have to focus manually with macro, but that's not unusual. Not yet.
