Save Nikon! I LOVE the drama. Nikon recorded a big sales increase with the Z9, Z8, and ZF, but hey, you made me click on your video.

Been shooting Nikon since the 70's. i would never think of using any other brand of camera.

Nikon has the greatest staple of glass in the industry and you can use all of its legacy F-Mount glass going back generations.

I really think you and most people online are misunderstanding what Gerald undone says about the dynamic range of this camera. RAW codecs are always going to be noisier than compressed ones, the reason other manufacturers are getting better numbers is because they're applying in camera NR then compressing that further. Gerald said himself with a little bit of NR in post the Z6iii falls in line with other similar mirrorless cameras

Nikon has a winner here and the brand is just amazing

Save Nikon? Not sure Nikon is in need of saving but, OK. LOL

Most mounts can be adapted to the Z mount so Sony having more glass is irrelevant seeing that you can adapt their glass to the Nikon Z camera anyway.

They are going to sell a literal crap ton of these cameras...I can't wait to get my hands on one!

Saviour for Nikon? That's a silly comment! 🤔

You said Sony gear is cheaper than Nikon? Did i really hear it right ?!!

Silly clickbait title. I wish people would stop with this nonsense.

this is a really dumb video, and I don't usually leave comments. spending multiple minutes saying the brand needs saving then saying it doesn't is pretty awful

Name a popular or widely used lens that isn't available for the Z mount? Lens size is a plus because Nikon doesn't skimp on quality, like focus breathing. If this camera had a Canon or Sony label it would be all over KZfaq as the greatest at that price.

Dude, Nikon doesn't need saving. They're fine . Really. I don't know were you people get this rubbish!

More clickbait. The same nonsense was said before, and yet Nikon bought RED. This is what you get when you have ZERO financial insight into their company, earnings, revenue, AUM, cash, etc. Nikon was the best selling camera brand in Japan and most of Asia thanks to the Z9, Z8. Zf. and the Z6 III will continue that trend.

Kyle What Z lenses are missing in the line up? Nikons been around long time ,glad "young people" are coming around.

You keep on saying behind Sony do you even remember when we adopted Canon and Nikon Mount lenses on Sony Crappy Sony colors , crappy back non touch screen , color shifting pics and evf, half baked image stabilization, 8bit cropped video with no lock in focus and worse ergonomic. First you need to stop being Fan boy when reviewing products 1: Nikon has one of The largest lens Collection 1950 onwards F Mount lenses even when you remove Ai versions and much more affordable than Sony’s There is a reason people use Nikon for wildlife and Sony users adopt Nikon F Mount bird/ airplane photography lenses do you know WHY because Sony is missing crucial lenses dahhh. Vibration control and Image stability is the best in Nikon neither Canon nor Sony even come close I bet you didn’t rest that by sitting on the desk. Nikon has far better autofocus in video recording plus has been class leading in video mode since launching mirrorless cameras. Ergonomic are not subjective Nikon and Canon Cameras are the best period Sony doesn’t even come close. Touch to focus and touch class leading in Nikon Weather sealing class leading in Nikon Well layed out buttons that all old generations owners can relate to plus customizable. Ohhh let me tell how about you buy a Nikon 17-35 2.8 that Sony users use to adapt or 17-55 2.8 or the 16-80 2.8-4 orrrr the 16-35 F4 F Mount that is if you can’t afford the legendary 14-24 2.8 or the 14-30 F4 Z Mount personally I’d take 20mm 1.8 any day or the 16mm Viltrox 1.8 or 20mm 1.8 for $250 and move my legs if I crave this range So may I say what the H**l are you talking about! 😂 I guess I’m a Nikon fanboy lol did I forget that Nikon color contrast 3D pop you can’t get it on Sony yeah you can sit for an hr to fix in post if your time is not meaningful to you. Plzzzz I know you put a lot of work into creating video YT content better be non biased.

Yeaaa definitely the first time a lot Of younger shooters are getting into using Nikon. It’s usually a old people Community so you’ve all have been spoiled by dual native ISO’s and what not. Most must now know how raw video recording works. Dual native ISO’s don’t matter anymore with raw video. It’s RAW not internally compressed. It’s just a different work flow with a much better outcome since you get to determine the amount of NR to use. And all this without the need of a atomos ninja is the bees knees. I just bought my z6iii today and plan to make a small review about it from the perspective of a avid z8 user and fx3 raw shooter I’ve also dealt with other cinema raws with canon and Panasonic as well as fujifilm. Raw is raw but I’ll give a real perspective if anyone’s interested

Clickbait!

Bro y'all need to stop the crap that Nikon needs saving, they've been doing just fine recently...and you can't expect them them have a comparable lens line uo to Sony just yet. They lens they do have are excellent though

I am happy that so many people are calling you for your clickbait bullshit. Not gonna bother watching the video. Nikon doesn't need saving.

Wrong question, Nikon is doing fine.

Save Nikon ?????? Is Nikon in trouble? I don't think, so why do drama? Clikbait? 😞

Sony loses when it comes to slow firmware updates, small E-mount, and slow adoption of cfexpress type b cards. In terms of speed, the Z6 III 120 fps burst mode does not encounter buffer issues like how the A9 III does. Hands down Z6 III is best in class atm.

Can you explain which lenses you mis from the Nikon Z mount? Are you are expecting that Nikon full open their mount as Sony did, simply because when they began mirrorless the didn’t have lenses? Please explain which focal length and aperture you mis? What I see is that you expect Viltrox, Samyang/ Rokinon, Tamron and Sigma release all their lenses in the Z mount. The issue is that many of this manufacturers does not see place in the Z mount. The only lenses I can think are f1.4 primes and 70 - 200 f4.0. The Tamron, Viltrox and Sigma are simply complementing Nikon.

Good videos mate! Nikon users are appearing very defensive in the comment section! As a former and current Nikon user who have tried Sony, Fuji and Canon mirrorless cameras, I think Sony, Canon then Nikon and Fuji in terms of reliability rating. Nikon DSLRs were one thing, but on the mirrorless side they’re playing catch up. Shooting events with A7iii and 4 is a breeze as they lock onto eyes immediately and you’re good to go! Same with inanimate objects. Canons are pretty good too and very easy to use. Coming back to Nikon, it’s not as straightforward as those two. It’s similar to Fuji in some ways. A camera company and product you want to love and support, but at a pro level you can’t risk missing the critical moments, because the AF hunted for a split second!! 🤷‍♂️

When I look at what Canon"s two bodies to the table, which are the R1 and R5II, I say Nikon could sleep easy. Right now, Nikon has all price point bodies covered, perhaps only missing the mirrorless version of D500. I believe Nikon has turned many non-Nikon shooters to their brand. Their Z lenses to me is among the best in the world right now. It covers all focal ranges, from 14mm right up to 800mm. Looking the prices of lenses from Canon and Sony, which costs more is also a plus point for Nikon. For the past 6 months, Nikon has allowed third party lenses for their Z mount and that is a great blessing as well. I will not be surprise to read by year end that Nikon will record their best ever sales in history

One thing a lot of non Nikon shooters know about the new Nikon z lenses is that most of them have little to no focus breathing. There's also little to no chromatic aberration either. Focus breathing can be an issue for landscape photographers if yet focus stack images. It makes it harder for the software to stitch it together. But it's also an issue if you shoot video. Focus breathing causes pulsing in the video. Sony and Canon have a lot of lenses with focus breathing issues. The cameras are just part of the system. Nikon has built everything around this new z mount which is the largest mount of all of them. They also have the closest phlange distance of the full frame bodies. That is what allows the engineers to develop the lenses better. Look what they did with the 135mm Plena lens. Yes some of the lenses are heavier but Nikon is going for image quality over convenience or carrying. Sony and Canon also make great cameras and lenses along with everyone else. And every brand suffered a decline after cell phone cameras got better. People don't buy cheap camera like they did in the day for things like birthday parties, family reunions, kids growing up, etc. Everybody who has a cell phone has a camera with them at all times.

The last time I checked file sizes, NRAW is similar to BRAW which is similar to ProRes 4:2:2 HQ in terms of bit rates. Now ProRes RAW has crazy big files. That’s a very different situation. As far as the cost of cards, a 512GB CFExpress card runs about $130 these days, but try buying a v90 SD card of the same size. Those are north of $500. CFExpress has become very affordable.

Aren't there external recording options available/

This is a must buy for me. The video specs are unmatched and photography wise the camera is amazing. I can ramp up my transition from stills to a hybrid shooter. Knowing Nikon in the next year or so there will be some goodies in terms of firmware updates and I can’t wait for it! 🤩

Best Camera Budget. Excellent photo/vidéo

Save the brand? Lol,

I found my honest Nikon reviewer

Fun video and good points, clearly people in the comments havent watched the video. Nikon is also 3rd in global sales behind Sony and Canon . so while its not going away(which you said yourself), they have room to grab market share and have the better shot over Fuji or lumix

Could not agree with you more! I have a Z5 and I’ve been waiting for this camera since I bought it!

Just one feature is holding me back from jumping in with Nikon , direct ssd recording via USB C , not with Atmos Ninja . Holding my horses till s1H mark 2 comes out

Glad you mentioned lens selection as still an issue compared to competitors. My favorite focal length is 28mm and until Nikon makes a 28mm fast high quality prime lens, I will not be buying a Nikon again. Nikon has talked a good game about opening up their lens mount to 3rd parties but the jury is still out on that. All that said, I'm excited to Nikon making strides with their camera tech and I hope the z6III is a big success so there's more chance of Nikon being a system I return to. I shot Nikon in the DSLR days and I still love their ergonomics and sharp lenses.

Would love to see a video about the AF settings. I ordered a Z6iii to record my daughter's wedding and some additional tips would be great for set up. BTW She does have a professional photographer doing the pictures but the local options for videotaping were not great. I am not trying to cut out or think I could do better than a professional.

Love Nikon!

Thanks. This was the first video of yours I’ve watched. Was waiting for the release. Anything about this camera you don’t like for astrophotography? Thx. Subscribed too.

This has better DR than a R6II right? I mean Canon isn’t known for great DR

So today, for someone mainly focused on photography but still wants the best all-around hybrid camera with great focusing in stills and video, what’s your recommendation (I experimented with a couple Sony’s but frankly they felt too much like a computer)??

What was your experience using the adapted Sony lenses on the Nikon? Curious to see if using lenses like that viltrox 16 is worth it :)

You lost me at “may save the brand”. Tell me you don’t shoot Nikon without telling me you don’t shoot Nikon.

Saving Nikon For Get On Top Again. .. 😊

What camera do you use day to day? and how long did you use the camera.

If Nikon made this a range finder it would be so hot! Good for Nikon with the z6iii, but I think Sony will one up them with the a7v and a7siv.

I do want a video breaking down the autofocus system.

I believe that this camera is Nikon's A7III moment.

Hey, thanks for the video. I previously owned a DSLR and would like to switch to a mirrorless camera, but I only use it for photography. What are your recommendations? in terms of brand and model? cheers

Hogwash. Nikin does not need saving.

The autofocus problems, expecially in low light, is still not worth it right now. I moved up to the Z8 for that alone.

Hi, how is the autofocus compared to the Zf? Is there much difference between them?

Can you test the delay on the HDMI output please? I’m thinking of getting 2x of these for vmix streaming ..

Pretty sure Nikon is not in trouble, but great clickbait for your video. Stick to making these rad videos, not scrub based headlines

I’ve ordered a Z6iii. But I can see me getting annoyed by the flippy screen bumping the HDMI cable for my external monitor.

Where are those mountains? they are beautiful

What about shutter speed? Is it the best for today?

Stabilization falls short of Sony ...really...you are the one who claim this

Please give the focus tuning of this camera man. It isa bang for buck but that focus 😅😅

Save Nikon ! Really 😂

Been watching a lot of camera reviews. One take away and strange trend with all these reviewers the “let me explain”. Every time. 😂 Similar to the trend with tech reviewers first spoken word being “So…”. Funny how one must have done it and now they all do it. No big deal though. 😊

Heard the part when he said "Save Nikon". Typed this comment, disliked then stopped watching.

Z8 or Z6 iii ?

Nikon needs a 500-700$ small good video camera to bring new costumers. This one will sell to old costumers and thats it

Exactly what happened to me, shot Nikon for 8 years but then needed video and then pandemic hit, all of my work went video and they had no decent options, then the A7s3 got released and I had to drop 2xD850, my 14, 28, 50, 24-70, 105 & 70-200 just to pay for the Sony and 3 lenses (Sigma not Sony). Just too late to the game

You can use a Sony lens on the Nikon, but not a Nikon on the Sony; Nikon win!

What you meaning behind save , Nikon is doing really good , and this is why I don't subscribe to drama channels and won't recommend this channel

Very balanced review. Will be interesting to see future Nikon camera releases, especially with their partial stacked sensors.

Please Break it down!

Well well, it's 2500 Dollars in the US and 3000€ (!) in the EU. It's way, way more expensive than the z6 and z6ii at launch. I'm not buying it right now. For 2500€ it would've been a no brainer...

I don't have to even watch the Video to tell everyone why this is a very IMPORTANT camera for Nikon. All their Cropped sensor cameras are becoming severely outdated by comparison to the competition. I highly doubt the Z9 is currently having big sales due to the success of the Nikon Z8. But even on Sale, The Z8 it's rarely a Best Seller and or Top Seller anymore. Doubts are that Nikon will even Replace the Z7ii. So with the year almost Half over, what the sales of the Nikon Z6iii becomes or NOT could indeed be the most Important Camera for Nikon, Right Now. What else does anything think they will do this YEAR.

No need to save the brand, Nikon is buying brands like RED. Nikon is doing great.

Video is spelled V-I-D-E-O not V-I-D-O-E

Just.Buy.This.Camera.

Amazing click bait title.. bravo

Nikon fills a market segment where previous models were not competitive against the competition. But is it too late? In recent years, many photographers and photo enthusiasts have chosen to abandon the brand in favor of Sony, Canon, and Fuji. It's evident that since the production of mirrorless cameras began, Nikon has fallen behind. The new Nikon Z6 III seems to be an excellent camera on paper. Personally, I've always used Nikon, with their extraordinary DSLRs. I've also worked with the Nikon Z6 II professionally, but I found it unreliable for eye detection autofocus, etc. Consequently, I switched to Sony and, staying in the same segment, I find the Sony 7 IV exceptional. Moreover, Sony's lens lineup is very extensive. Despite Nikon's high-quality build, viewfinder, and display, I won't go back. I think too much importance is given to technology. Personally, what I look for in a professional camera is reliable autofocus, quality, and feel. With Sony, for years, I've been able to get what I had with Nikon DSLRs. I still hope that Nikon achieves the success it deserves with this new camera, but I think the competition is very fierce and that it's difficult for those who have switched to other brands to decide to go back, especially for economic reasons.

Just a heads up Nikon fanboys are hardcore, better speak good about them it’s what tickles their ears if you don’t they will thumbs down hard. 😅

Nikon Australia is ripping off Australian consumers.... RRP $2500usd converted to AUD is approx $3740aud. Yet Z6iii being sold in Australia for $4499!!

Great vid! That low DR , is a big bummer

ナイコン言うな！

The dynamic range hit will def not age well, when the a7v or the R6iii is to be released after this (providing they can also shoot raw then)

To be honest, I never looked at Nikon because of the screen. I thought they were being stubborn for not doing a flip screen just like how stubborn their fan base are. Now its all good.

Well I will stay with the D850.

Why are Nikon shooters so sensitive and quick to bully anyone who says something negative about Nikon cameras? You all need to relax. It's great that Nikon is finally catching up, but once Sony and Canon announce their new lineups, Nikon will likely fall behind again. I know I will be getting Z6III just to be able to shoot 6k60 RAW initially like my Black Magic. Other than that, this camera has nothing to offer; other cameras have not been doing for years now.

Sony user ? You sound and talk like one.

No, not worth it out side usa, too expensive if not paying in USD. approx 40% extra in Europe and Asia pacific .
