You said in the past couple of years Nikon fell behind in the category of hybrid cameras, which was surprising. Z9 was released 2 1/2 years ago at Christmas '21. It was the best hybrid upon release, recording up to 8k 30 RAW internally, and only got better (firmware soon added 8k 60 internal RAW recording). Z8 was the best small body hybrid on release 13 months ago offering everything the Z9 does. No other cameras have matched the Z8/9 as hybrid cameras.

Just discovered your channel looking for some more videos about the z6iii. I'm not halfway through the video, but just wanted to say your photography is stellar. Exceptional shots and very inspiring! Liked and subsribed!

Nikon keeps giving and giving and more 3rd party support then that other brand 👍

I ditched nikon a few years ago for the exact reason you mentioned. I noticed it was behind compared to what competitors were releasing. This was a much needed release Well done nikon 👏🏼

Awesome overview from one of my favorite creators! Thanks. Definitely upgrading to this before the summer is out. Then it's time to develop my color grading skills!

I think Nikon is going to sell a literal crap ton of these cameras, I can't wait to get my hands on one!

I received my Z6 III today, and after spending hours going through the menus and setting it up, I feel that they crammed too much into this camera. I feel that the Z6 III is aimed more towards the video shooter than the stills one. I plan to take it out for a test run tomorrow.

I have the Z6ii and I’m going to trade in for this camera. Knowing the autofocus is improved I think it’s time to switch and get the updated 6iii

Thank ya, Evan!!! What an amazing video. 🤩

[Killerwins]

I think I'm gonna keep saving for the z8, right choice?

[HustleHue]

Long time Nikon user as well from D90 (first DSLR with video), D7000, D600, D810...almost jumped ship to Canon to get R5 or R6, but Nikon Z6 convinced me to stay on Nikon camp with the FTZ and my F-mount lenses. Got the Z9 when it was announced and i'm all in with Nikon Z system. Was waiting for the Nikon FF with articulating screen for video/vlog and smaller form factor than my Z9, Z8 didn't appeal to me as it's essentially Z9, although smaller still wanted the Z6 form factor. I was about to get Nikon ZF but decided to wait on Z6III. It is everything I was hoping for and more, had Nikon just made the Zf and made a normal looking body like the Z6/Z6II I would have been perfectly happy instead Nikon gave me essentially a baby Z9/Z8. Should arrive in a couple of days, Nikon USA shows "processing" but 24-120 f/4 lens already shipped, really excited!

1:05 slight correction to your statement there!
Nikon fell behind since 2014 with A7ii or more obviously in 2018 with the launch of Sony A7iii. Mirrorless had officially announced itself as the better format going forward.
So, Nikon fell behind 6-10 years ago and were playing catchup till today! 🤷‍♂️
I’m a former Nikon shooter since D700.

I’m returning mine. Just don’t like the grip/feel of it. I actually prefer my Zf with the Smallrig better, which has a lot of the same capabilities and where it doesn’t, I grab my Z9. Still think it’s a stellar move on Nikon’s point. If only they just made the grip more D750ish.

Please talk more about flexible color picture control

As a D810 user for many, MANY years, how do the raw files of the Z6iii compare in terms of dynamic range? I've tried the Z6ii and Z7ii and neither came close - not even in the ballpark. I realize the D810's sensor was one of the best DR sensors ever made, and I'm not expecting the same performance, but would sure like to hear it's better than the previous two offerings.

Hi evan, im planning on starting my photo and video freelancing gig, i work on a company and i want to start doing things on my own and buy my first camera, what you would recommend me?, should i risk it and get a loan for a nikon z6iii, get a "cheaper" S5IIX, or get a used sony a7III?

If you do 10-bit h.265, is it 4:2:0 or 4:2:2? I'm hoping 4:2:0 as it's way easier to play on most computers.
