The third iteration in the Z6 lineup, the 24 megapixel, full frame Nikon Z6III benefits from a number of significant updates over its predecessor, the Z6II, edging this mid-range line closer to higher-end siblings like the Nikon Z8 and Z9. Built around the world’s first partially stacked sensor, the Z6III offers nimbler performance across-the-board than the Z6II — from continuous capture through to autofocus speed. Although the Z6III’s performance isn’t quite on par with the fully-stacked sensors of the Z8 and Z9, it’s definitely a step up from its predecessor. Like the higher end models, the Z6III now also offers advanced features such as pre-release capture and up to 8 stops of image stabilization.
Equally important are the Z6III’s video capabilities, giving the updated model’s stronger hybrid credentials. Higher resolution, internal RAW capture, multiple formats and handy production tools like waveforms combine to deliver a solid slate of filmmaking options.
