Nikon Z6 III REAL WORLD Preview: Did they FINALLY Do It?!

FROPACK4 is HERE with 14 all-new custom Lightroom presets!!! Check it out

This is a HANDS ON PREVIEW of the Nikon Z6 III. I was able to take the Nikon Z6 III out into the real world for two days and run it through its paces. I took pictures of Muay Thai, little kids in the park and Major League Baseball. I tested high-iso, auto focus and anything else you can think of. This is a preview of the NEW Nikon Z6 III. Is it better than the Z6 II, is it on par with the Nikon Z8 or Z9? Find out in this video.

Hi Jared, I have been a Nikon user for years and I do professional work with the Nikon Z F. For focusing, what I do is lower the focus reaction from the menu, so that if something crosses in front of the subject's face, the focus does not go away and is not so reactive. For example, in the boxing fights you have shown the focus goes to the gloves as soon as they are placed in front of the face. With a less reactive focus, you will still focus on the face even if there are things happening in front of you. This makes for a more "organic" approach and will increase the success of your in-focus photos. Great work, I like your videos!

Still using the original Z6 and still loving it. Yes, the focus is tricky sometimes, but nothing too stressfull in day to day amateur shooting. Basically catching the subject and recompose, fast enough for me.

It is time... for me to upgrade my Z6 to the Z6iii. As much as I desperately want to go Z8; I need a body that is close in performance that allows me to save some cash and keep improving my glass and my abilities. I believe the Z6iii is just that camera. Great preview Jared! Thanks! I've been waiting for this on bated breath all weekend.

The Nikon Z6III, the one I have been waiting for. Nikon is really doing some great things.

[MrCoolAttitude]

This is the mirrorless I'll be getting when I save up enough. I've had a great run with dslr since getting my d700 many years ago.

When I see the III I just think how good value the II will be soon. Absolutely great camera already, keep an eye out for clearance deals!

I hope to see a Z5ii someday too.

Thank you for the effort and hard work that went into this video. Your video is what sold me on getting this new Z6. I purchased it today from B&C Camera in Las Vegas. Your video supported a local Vegas business and a fellow YouTuber so thank you again. We review products in a different industry and I wanted to take a minute to let you know that your work is appreciated. Thanks again, keep crushing it! 👍🏼👊🏻

Pretty sure everyone who was waiting for this eventually grabbed a Z8, but glad it finally showed up! I definitely prefer the Z6/7 Body styles over my Z8, and the EVF looks amazing! Would be an amazing travel camera, or a secondary to a Z8 for weddings

Dear Jared, I have been following your channel for many years, no idea how long, an eternity. You are and will remain one of the most important authorities for me when it comes to the quality of cameras and lenses. You simply do a great job! I just want to say thank you for that! And by the way, it was you who led me, as a former Nikon disciple (which you once were too), to Sony, which I have never regretted. I still feel connected to Nikon and it seems as if they have now caught up with the competition. I wish you all the best! Best wishes from Germany, Jens 🤗😘🍀

Hi!
I’m a canon shooter, with the R6, and I must say this is one great entry by Nikon, well done!
Pushing things a notch, with the new sensor!
All best!

[khongwengchee]

Would prefer if they had included a variangle fully articulating screen like the Panasonic S1H

[MrG]

Buffer size must be outstanding since he failed to mention it.

[redroseskull]

I would like to see a comparison between nikon Zf and Z6III when it comes to photography as I do not care about videography at all.

[Jespervangcom]

Jumped into the Z system more than a year ago, with the Z30 and Z6 ii, and already ready for the z6 iii. I really like your videos Jared, knowing you are an old Nikon user, you don't bash the system, but politely explain what does not work and what does ! Thank you for your videos :-)

[petergal]

Mixed feelings. Thumbs up for the "semi-stacked" sensor, but this auto focus still one step behind canon (and maybe sony as well).

[LunaBelAir]

Those specs are just the things i need and sweet spot for the megapixels.

[dris]

Got the R6 II almost two years ago and really love it. I'm happy that my Nikon friends now have a camera that is similar to use with confidence. 👏 I really love that 4k 120 with a crop option. That is something I'd been wishing the R6 II could do maybe with a firmware update.

[amirrarastehpour]

I like my Z6 II. I was considering upgrading my Z6II to Z6III mainly for the updated fully articulated back screen and low light situation, but I went ahead and got my Nikon Z8, and let me tell you, I am beyond happy and satisfied with it.

I agree with you that it is annoying that the screen wouldn't get aligned with the body of the camera and it makes it more difficult to align the compositions; especially for someone like me with OCD. On the other hand, there is always the option of an external viewfinder as well.


I think I stick with my Z6II. I don't believe it would be worth upgrading for another 1000 dollars or so!

Thank you for all of your enlightenment... 🙏

Thanks Jared for telling the AF focus issues with closer up subjects that other reviewers are soft pedaling…😊

[peterhanahoe]

Enjoyed your review, very informative. I love the way you make notes then highlight every line.
