every time I'm looking for honest reviews of Camera gears, yours always persuade me so much. You gave a lot of test results that actual users really care about.

[craigmckernan]

Good review Chris, happy to see some solid coverage for Z mount cameras. Please keep those Z mount lens reviews coming.

[Karim_Kilany]

Everyone: Sony zv-e10 ii
Christopher: Z6iii

The quality of the slow mo 240p was incredible. 😮

[waveland]

I know you have to draw the line somewhere in your testing but I would encourage you to review the ISO6400 N-log video. The second native ISO makes this camera very competitive with the Sony ISO12800 capable cameras for low light video shooting. That’s a big deal.

[TimFilmsCars]

Just had this camera delivered today, and I'm thrilled that you like it! That's relieving. Time to go film stuff.

for me the 4K120 even though it's a crop is what I want anyway for wildlife/bird. I hear you say it's sharper than the R5 thats good to know I've been looking to sell off old Canon stuff and go solely Nikon. It might take a little while for the grey imports to get to the same discounts as the Z8. I may just get the Z8.

[cynvs]

From ISO 800 onward, the Z6 III is about as good, as the Z9 in terms of dynamic range, even a bit better, actually.
I don't get why the dynamic range suddenly is such a big deal to youtubers, nobody cared about it with the Z9 or A1, stacked sensors have always been a trade-off.

2:50 gan cube spotted, you a cuber too? Fun little hobby I must say, I bought one too a few years ago, I originally learned how to solve a rubiks cube when I was younger, then one day I remember about it, watched some videos and bought a gan cube and learned a little more about speed solving and whatever. Cool little hobby to have.

Grabbed one on launch day, Nikon's best price:feature set body yet. Love this Z6iii!

[kesavachandran]

Have been waiting for aweek or so for your review, since I'm proposing to buy one.Thank you❤

12:20 I believe the Sports VR mode is mainly for not counteracting panning motions (i.e. when tracking an athlete or car), as Normal VR can be jerky when panning.

[ThePinoyAggie]

The playback button moving to the lower right is Nikon listening to its customers. This is now consistent with the Z8 and Z9 as well as pro DSLRs. No need to use the left hand to review photos or videos.

[facu_eze_peralta]

I have a NIkon Z5 and 100% I'll get this camera next year! The video features are insane! I was thinking to switch to sony but now I'll give Nikon one last chnace!

[ESTx]

Good stuff, Christopher! As a Z6II user I'm somewhat tempted by the AF improvements but the dynamic range limits bother me a little bit. But mostly, I'm not very interested in shooting video, so the Z8 might be the more interesting upgrade.

[totallynotmyeggalt]

The DR performance and flip-out screen are now basically the only things holding me back from leaving my DSLR for this right now. I'll probably wait a couple more years before getting a used one (or a used Z8 once its successor is out).

[nageshj-vw]

Thanks for this review Chris, please do review on nikon z35mm 1.4

[zeissiez]

Every camera model should come with a choice of either a flip out screen or a tilt screen.

[martinhommel]

Thank you. Great video. Much improved AF over the first iterations of the Z6 series. The only downside is the flippy screen, I prefer the tilting screen on the previous models.

[bluemystic]

I don't understand these dynamic range examples. What are you expecting to recover out of a jet black shadow and who shoots/edits like that?
