After my Nikon D750 unexpectedly failed just before an event, I purchased the Nikon Z6III without much research, relying on the recommendation of the salesman. He assured me I wouldn’t regret it-and they were right. This camera has far exceeded my expectations, even surpassing the D750 in performance. Although my older flash wasn’t compatible with the Z6III, the images taken without flash were still incredibly crisp, sharp, and of exceptional quality. Paired with the 24-120mm f/4 lens, I was genuinely surprised by the outstanding results this camera delivered.
@vssunilkumar oh yes, the difference is day and night. But d7500 is the DX version, so you may need to buy a z-mount lens or an FX lens with an adapter. It will be a costly switch.
@@mzosama Thanks for your response. Basically I own a Nikon D7500 DSLR Camera Body with Nikon 16-80mm f/2.8-4E AF-S DX NIKKOR ED VR Lens. Nikon is offering some good deals in india with additional battery, Angelbird AV PRO SE 512GB CFexpress Type-B Memory Card and charger with some good discounts. The whole discussion regarding The Nikon Z6 III has a dynamic range of 11.5 stops at base ISO resulting in noise is making me think 🤔 if it's really worth upgrading. Did you notice above in day to day usage. How are images at low and high iso ? I'm planning to purchase Nikon Z6 iii with 24-120 S lens combo. This my first upgrade to a full sensor camera after 2 decades of DX body usage. Appreciate if your feedback.
@vssunilkumar Yes, there are concerns related to Dynamic range, and honestly, no camera is 100% fit. If you are shooting in a very low light environment, then you may need a good dynamic range camera to recover the data. With this price point, you get the specs of a high-end camera. I bought this camera because my Nikon d750 broke all of sudden, and it was an urgent purchase. I hardly did any good research at the time of purchase. I shot the whole indoor event without flash (godox flash wasn't supporting z6iii), and oh boy, the quality of images were top notch. I shot the pictures using 24-120mm f4 fx lens, and if I have used d750 without flash, it would not be so good and very dark. Sharp tac pictures. There are only two blur images out of 800 pics. Shot @ 1/100-125 shutter speed with max ISO at 6000. However, at ISO 6000, the noise was noticeable. And I reduced to 2500 ISO, then it was great. Now a days, keeping the ISO not more than 3000 is recommended. I used paid light room for post processing, and in most of the images taken from 24-120mm, I used the Denoise AI feature, which removed all the noise. But shots taken with prime lens (50mm and 85mm), there was no noise at all. I have invested a lot in the Nikon ecosystem. Therefore, it would not be feasible for me to shift to Sony or Canon. But for you, this is the right time to switch. Sony cameras are top-notch. Directly talk with professional photographers and videographers for further advice. Z6iii video is also a game changer because they have used Red series technology in this camera. Best wishes and let me know which one you bought.
Was gonna say the same thing- I actually thought that's where he was going when he said 'if only my Sony lenses would work seamlessly on the Nikon...' Also note that both Neewer and Megadap make these adapters. I hear they both work great, but I have only tried the Megadap, which works super well, except that the newer MF features like eye focus confirmation don't seem to work on the adapter...yet.
I've had a similar path as you. I started with Nikon, jumped to Canon, back to Nikon, then RED, then Nikon again, then Red again, then Sony, and currently shooting Sony FX3 and FX3, just got my hands on the Z6III today and hands down, Nikon has always had the best quality camera, by far. Everything just feels so much better in the hand on a Nikon. The way the battery door clicks shut, unlike the sony where you have to press the lock. So many other things too.
No-one ever talks about that battery door lock! its so underrated lol. Battery grip having hot swappable batteries, being able to charge the batteries with usb c inside the grip so you don't need to travel with a charger lol. the buttons, the switches. Nikon comes just feel so good I miss mine so much. went to Sony a74 from the z6ii but I think about coming back every time Nikon has a new camera lol. if the z6iii had the illuminated buttons, id be sold.
@@stevemckenzie4731 I shoot fx3, fx30 and z6iii. And the image quality out of the Z6iii is definitely far better. I like the internal fans of the Sony, and the ibis is better on the Sony. But image quality, Nikon just beat Sony out the water with the Z6iii.
@@Santiago-lb5md yeah thats the beauty of the Z mount....you can adapt loads of different lenses to it. The best Sony adapter is the Megadap ETZ21 adapter. Works really well with full AF
Probably some AF issues though? Never been a big fan of adapters and tend to stick to native glass, which is why I have some issues with Nikon lenses. Whilst there are a lot of longer focal length options, i have the impression that nikon lenses are a stop or 2 slower than their sony equivalents, options seem more limited at the woder end, and they are expensive and bulky
¿? You can use your Sony lenses on the Nikon body with an autofocus adapter. Seems like the Megadap ETZ21 PRO is the best one. There are other brands. You can adapt Fuji X, Nikon F, Canon EF too
The Nikon + Red LUTS are fantastic 👌 the Z6iii/Z8 are way more advanced than i can ever be. I enjoy their old DSRLs too like the D3s. I just have so much F mount glass i kept my D850. That thing is reliable as heck. I just got a Z8 to get into more video stuff for my clients. I honestly think today in 2024 you can't go wrong with any of the big 3 brands. I would be saying the same thing if i shot canon or sony . I just picked nikon a long time ago and im so use to it i really never have a need or want to switch brands. 🙃
I got mine two weeks ago , the Z6iii is very advanced , fast shooting is a breeze. Lots of focus choices and very easy to customize or keep it simple. Amazing video camera!
Good to here your story!! I have switched Nikon to Sony when handle the Sony A7Rii. Nikon is renowned for its photography capabilities, but its video performance could be improved. A Sony cropped sensor A6700 performs comparably to the Nikon Z6ii.
Your audio on this video is great. I have a question on the setup of your microphone. I send my footage to an editor and am looking for a simple way to transfer the audio. Is there a way to contact you directly ?
Weird question but possibly you can answer: I recently got a Nikon Zf and I'm looking to aquire a second backup body, that's affordable and takes my Z mount lenses. Honestly, I’m leaning towards the Nikon Z5, but with the recent price drops the Z6ii is not much more and is appealing also. Nearly everyone I've spoken to who actually owns a Z6ii (or a Z5 for that matter), LOVES it. I love my Zf, but I want something that will act as a more ergonomic and compact backup, with similar menus. I shoot portraits and headshots and an occasional family session or engagement. No events, sports or wildlife. I don't need speed, and I don’t plan on doing video with this backup. I played with a Z6ii in the camera store recently and it felt really nimble and great to use. In use, I couldn’t really tell much difference between the Z5 and Z6ii. Both really nice. Would you recommend the Z6ii as a backup to my Zf? Or even a Z5? If I get the Z5 I can afford more glass, but maybe the better body is a wiser choice?
I first started shooting on a Nikon d3200 then went to the d7200 and I've tried Fuji and Panasonic Lumix for mirrorless but I will soon be coming back to Nikon and purchase the z6iii.
As someone who rolled dice and went Nikon, DSLR, then Nikon Z62 after waiting for long time, and now i was considering switching out. However, seeing the Z63 performance upgrade, if they can do this for a Z73, im 100% staying! Time to keep waiting.
I’m a long time user of Nikon and only dipped my toe into Nikon mirrorless about 2 years ago with a Z50. I liked it enough to eventually buy a Z6ii and ditch my D750. I like my Z6ii, but a few months ago bought a Zf and love it. I’ve found the AF improved so much that I don’t miss the joystick too much. My timing was unfortunate, I convinced myself to buy the Z6ii about a week prior to the Zf release. I wish I’d waited to learn more about the Zf because I think a Z6iii and Zf combo is a better match. That’s my long winded way of saying, when you are ready, I think you’ll find the AF enough improved to be pleased with the upgrade decision. And if the ergonomics are ok for you, the Zf might be a lower cost way to upgrade your Z6ii.
Would you recommend it over the a7iv? I was thinking about switching after using nikon dslrs for the last 20 years 🫣 just have a feeling sony have the edge in the multimedia hybrid world. ? Thanks for your time
A few years ago, Nikon stubbornly claimed that only SLR cameras were important for professionals and mirrorless cameras were of little value. Now he has to painstakingly make up for that lost time with Sony. Recently, they have finally produced something sensible for their fans, let them enjoy these new products.
Nikon got dragged kicking and screaming to the mirrorless table by Sony. Had Sony not vigorously promoted mirrorless technology, Nikon would still be producing big brick DSLRS.
Hi @StefanoLombardoYT, I am shifting from my D750 to mirrorless. And confused between Nikon Z6 III and Sony A7 IV. I am a travel photography enthusiast and preference is Photography over videography. But I wanted an all rounder. Since you have used both, which would you suggest?
35mm is one of my favourite focal lengths and considering this Nikon 35mm 1.4 is way cheaper than other 35mm 1.4's on the market I think it's an excellent lens!
Had a D7200 & D500...switched to Sony A7IV..it has been great..but for the past 3 years Sony seems to ignore the hybrid market - Nikon is tempting especially the Z8 👀 - Whatever Sony is cooking the A7V needs to be hot 🔥
Does the z6iii works/record while powering via usbc with a v lock battery rigged? I don’t like to use dummy batteries… Did you noticed the issue of low light/dark areas flickering that many people are reporting in their reviews?
The battery basically doesn't drain when using usb-c, however it's never a great idea to do that for a long period of time regardless of the camera: lithium batteries degrade with heat in time, a dummy battery is a way better option! Concerning the flickering i've done shots in a park at night and didn't get them even if i was at 12800/25600. I did see it while esperimenting but if you do what i did to get it to flicker in your normal workflow you have way bigger problems than the camera 😅
@@giovanniandreacerrina9725 thank you for answering! I ask because many camera does work while charging, and in case of cable disconnect for any reason if you use usbc there is the battery that gives you backup. In case of dummy battery, if something goes wrong the camera goes off while recording. Last question about the lens: I love aperture ring on a lens, but the digital one on the newest lenses how easy is to turn by accident while supporting the lens by hand? With sigma or fujifilm lenses are difficult to move it by accident
@@giovanniandreacerrina9725 I didn’t know that focus ring could be set as aperture control. However my concern is about how easy this kind of control ring is to turn accidentally. My lenses with aperture ring are hard to move casually (sigma and fujifilm). I want to come back to nikon and I am investigating some aspects…
hi. what is your recommendation between nikon z6iii vs lumix s5iix since i will be using for indie filmmaking , Documentary, wedding , social media content .
z6iii id say is the better camera...as well as having a great selection of native lenses which work greta for video you can adapt Sony lenses easily also.
Got and love a Z8 and Zf, but also a LUMIX S9. Panasonic still somewhat in the lead due to video handheld IBIS and open gate. Nikon RAW video is amazing though.
Cool video 🔥🔥 I love photography but I can’t pay a monthly subscription to Lightroom to edit photos, and I don’t have any friends to give me an old version to try out
I like that you are expressing this sentiment here. The comments on social media are so often about debate and often insulting other’s opinons. Good to see that people are excited about the idea of actually interacting positively in real life.
Nikon is making grt hybrid bodies but nikon lacks hybrid lenses. A good ecosystem is needed for someone to really get into a brand. DearNikon pls make high quality 1.4 S line primes with a optimum balance of quality, charecter, weight n price affordability of set of highquality primes n ease of using them on field is imp for hybrid shooters especially event shooters .
I can't believe Nikon still refuses to put aperture rings on their lenses. That is the ONLY thing preventing me from making the switch. I have it with my Sony/Fuji/Leica gear and refuse to buy into a system without it.
@@mikeblack_pw The problem is that you can't actually see it on the lens. I routinely set up my camera manually before I even turn my camera on. I recognize it is visible on the top display on many of the Nikon cameras, but only with the camera on.
I'm switching back after ONE year!!! A year of Canon is enough to know how I am going to retire. Nikon does it seriously, and there's no way around it. A few years of hick-up, yes, but they're back!
I've been shooting with Sony for years and its my main camera system, I'm not in any way challenged by it's RAW files. What I am saying is that I can easily tell the difference between Nikon RAW files and Sony RAW files
@@StefanoLombardoYT In a true blind test? I doubt that very much. RAW files by definition should be very similar unless of course the camera is doing something to them, like perhaps Nikon does with lens corrections built into the exif data that you can't change. Or perhaps you're loading your files with profiles like Adobe Landscape?Try both with a linear profile. Both systems use Sony sensors after all.
Depends what you’re shooting. I’m in the process of selling some Canon and Sony stuff to switch… and I’m blown away by Nikon’s 1.8 primes and S line zooms. Yeah, they might be missing some of the exotica, but what they have is solid.
You don't need 200+ lenses to do photography work with a camera ecosystem. I shoot Nikon and Fuji. A lot of what I'm using is native unless I need to adapt very specific lenses with the FTZ adapter.
@@marcusbeasley3212 sure, I own Fuji cameras and some of my favorite ever lenses are Fuj lenses. The classic 16mm and 23mm Fuji lenses still make me smile. Fuji has most bases covered..Nikon not so much
The Nikon Z system is the most adaptable system that exists so your range of lenses is actually quite amazing, given that you can adapt Canon EF, Sony E, Nikon F and now Fuji X lenses to the system. No other system gives you this level of flexibility.
There’s also no Y in Light, Side, Pike, Biden. We also pronounce there, their, and they’re the same way. English is weird. He can say it the American way and you say it your way.
What are your thoughts on Nikon? Also make sure to get your Ethereal Preset Pack with the code " Z6iii " at checkout: geni.us/p85t

Open gate would be nice!
which is better z35mm 1.4 or 35mm 1.8
The 1.8 is from the S line so it will be generally sharper

Nikon is making grt hybrid bodies but nikon lacks hybrid lenses. A good ecosystem is needed for someone to really get into a brand. DearNikon pls make high quality 1.4 S line primes with a optimum balance of quality, charecter, weight n price
affordability of set of highquality primes n ease of using them on field is imp for hybrid shooters especially event shooters .
I can't believe Nikon still refuses to put aperture rings on their lenses. That is the ONLY thing preventing me from making the switch. I have it with my Sony/Fuji/Leica gear and refuse to buy into a system without it.
I love my aperture rings on my Sigma lenses and they're definitely nice to have but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me!
You can program the control ring to be aperture changer. And you can program function buttons to do the same during video.
just program the control ring on most of their lenses to be you aperture ring.
It's by design for better dust and weather sealing
@@mikeblack_pw The problem is that you can't actually see it on the lens. I routinely set up my camera manually before I even turn my camera on. I recognize it is visible on the top display on many of the Nikon cameras, but only with the camera on.
I'm switching back after ONE year!!! A year of Canon is enough to know how I am going to retire. Nikon does it seriously, and there's no way around it. A few years of hick-up, yes, but they're back!
Nikon Z6 III vs Nikon ZF who you got?🤔
i saving money to buy this camera, now D750 using 2018 untill now 2024
Can you cover the video side abit more 🙏🏿
People still don't have any idea what Nikon are capable of
Bro, IMO if you are challenged editing Sony raw files than you have a bigger issue than buying a Nikon Z6iii...
I've been shooting with Sony for years and its my main camera system, I'm not in any way challenged by it's RAW files. What I am saying is that I can easily tell the difference between Nikon RAW files and Sony RAW files
@@StefanoLombardoYT In a true blind test? I doubt that very much. RAW files by definition should be very similar unless of course the camera is doing something to them, like perhaps Nikon does with lens corrections built into the exif data that you can't change. Or perhaps you're loading your files with profiles like Adobe Landscape?Try both with a linear profile. Both systems use Sony sensors after all.
Nikon's range of lenses is what let's them down still
Depends what you’re shooting. I’m in the process of selling some Canon and Sony stuff to switch… and I’m blown away by Nikon’s 1.8 primes and S line zooms.
Yeah, they might be missing some of the exotica, but what they have is solid.
You don't need 200+ lenses to do photography work with a camera ecosystem. I shoot Nikon and Fuji. A lot of what I'm using is native unless I need to adapt very specific lenses with the FTZ adapter.
@@marcusbeasley3212 sure, I own Fuji cameras and some of my favorite ever lenses are Fuj lenses. The classic 16mm and 23mm Fuji lenses still make me smile. Fuji has most bases covered..Nikon not so much
14 to 800mm, what are you missing?
The Nikon Z system is the most adaptable system that exists so your range of lenses is actually quite amazing, given that you can adapt Canon EF, Sony E, Nikon F and now Fuji X lenses to the system. No other system gives you this level of flexibility.
There is NO 'Y' in NIKON ! Learn to pronounce the name properly and I might watch your movie !
There’s also no Y in Light, Side, Pike, Biden. We also pronounce there, their, and they’re the same way. English is weird. He can say it the American way and you say it your way.
