Sporting an innovative and refreshed sensor design, the Nikon Z6 III Mirrorless Camera introduces several high-end upgrades for this mid-range device. These enhancements include improved autofocus capabilities, professional-grade 6K internal raw video recording, pre-capture at speeds of up to 120 fps, and a vibrant, vivid electronic viewfinder (EVF). This combination of features positions the camera as an excellent choice for aspiring professionals seeking a versatile and affordable option.
Distinguishing itself from its predecessor, the Z6 III showcases a partially stacked sensor design, which facilitates faster scans and readouts. This design not only minimizes rolling shutter and noise levels when operating at higher ISO settings but also enables the integration of flagship-level functionalities. These enhancements encompass faster autofocus performance, a smoother EVF experience, increased continuous shooting speeds, and higher frame rates for video recording.
To complement the sensor, the Z6 III incorporates the EXPEED 7 processing engine, renowned for its presence in Nikon's top-tier Z8 and Z9 mirrorless cameras. This powerful engine operates approximately 10 times faster than its predecessor, the Z6II. Working in conjunction with the partially stacked sensor design, it delivers remarkably swift autofocus speeds, burst shooting capabilities, an extensive buffer capacity, fluid video performance, and seamless overall handling.
Expanding across the entire sensor area, the flagship EXPEED 7 processor empowers Nikon's impressive 493-point phase-detection autofocus system, delivering rapid and precise focusing performance. Leveraging the high-speed communication of the Z interface and the sensor's capabilities, this system can achieve AF readings at speeds of up to 120 fps.
Specifically optimized for accuracy, the Eye-Detection AF feature excels at identifying and tracking eyes within the frame, regardless of their size. It can be seamlessly combined with custom Wide-Area AF settings to accommodate subjects of various shapes and sizes.
Utilizing pixel shift technology, users can generate ultra-high resolution images of approximately 96 megapixels. By slightly shifting the image sensor between shots, ranging from 4 to 32 shots per image, individuals can later merge these images in NX Studio to create a single picture with enhanced resolution, texture, and color reproduction. This shooting method also effectively minimizes noise, moiré patterns, and false colors. Pixel Shift photography proves advantageous for archival, landscape, architectural, fine art, macro, and film digitizing applications, especially when utilized with a tripod for optimal results.
Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR Lens
A one-lens solution for working in a wide variety of shooting situations, the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR Lens from Nikon is an all-in-one 8.3x zoom covering wide-angle to telephoto focal lengths. An advanced optical design, which uses a series of aspherical and ED elements, pairs with both ARNEO and Nano Crystal Coatings to produce sharp and clear image quality with high contrast and accurate colour rendering to benefit working in various lighting conditions.
The impressive zoom reach is also benefitted by Vibration Reduction image stabilisation, which minimises the appearance of camera shake by up to 5 stops for sharper handheld shooting. A stepping motor provides quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override to suit both stills and video applications. Also, a programmable control ring can be set for intuitive adjustment over a variety of camera and exposure settings.
