    I’m absolutely thrilled with my purchase of the Nikon Z6 III! This camera has totally elevated my photography and videography experience. From the moment I took it out of the box, I could tell it was a high-end piece of gear, solid build quality and beautifully designed. The image quality and performance are outstanding. It handles low-light scenes beautifully, and the autofocus is incredibly fast and accurate. I’ve shot both photos and video with it, and everything looks crisp and professional. The versatility of this full-frame mirrorless body is exactly what I was hoping for. One of the best things about this purchase was the price, I felt like I got fantastic value for what this camera offers. For the quality, features, and performance you’re getting, it’s a real steal. Whether you’re a hobbyist or working on more serious creative projects, this camera delivers. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the Z6 III. It’s exceeded my expectations and I’m excited to keep creating with it. Highly recommended to anyone looking to step up their camera game!

    This has been my first mirrorless camera and I'm now a mirrorless convert. The battery life is great. IBIS is a game changer for video. Coming from a D780 I love how much smaller and lighter this body is while being just as capable for photos and massively more capable with video. Works great with my existing F-mount lenses on the FTZII adapter.

    The best camera for a $. I do have a Nikon Z6II and I bought Z6III, because of it's video qualities and this camera didn't disappoint me! Even 10bit 4:2:0 is very good, but if you need more it has nice 12bit n-raw, that I use a lot.

    I am still getting to know this camera. I am not sure if I can justify the price tag when I compare it to my Z50. I am not a YouTuber and I don't use it for recording in any form, this may be where the price would be justified. I don't see it in the pictures, not so far. Keep you posted. Some of the photos are the Z6III, and some are Z50. Can you tell the difference?

    2025 Best Hybrid Camera

    |
    |
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Nikon Z6III might be Nikon’s best all-around hybrid camera for creators who lean heavily into video but still need solid photo performance. Paired with the 24–70mm f/2.8 and a mist filter, it delivers a clean, cinematic look right out of the box. The internal 6K video gives you plenty of flexibility in post, but the 4k is oversampled too, so amazing quality. Autofocus has taken a huge step forward over the Z6II, and it's up to par in comparison to other brands. It’s more than reliable for most client work and run-and-gun shoots. But like all AF systems, it has it quirks, and out of the box isn't setup perfect, but a few tweaks and it's money. Speaking of quirks. The memory banks are a step backward compared to the Z8. When you power off, the Z6III resets to the saved values instead of keeping your last-used settings, which slows me down if I’m jumping between scenes. Battery life is solid, and the build quality feels premium without being too bulky. It also plays nice on a gimbal. For solo shooters and travel-focused creatives, the Z6III hits a sweet spot between performance, portability, and price. 24MP is more than enough for video, and I would say it satisfies most photographers too. Nikon's commitment to firmware updates to add features is a HUGE bonus. Their Kaizen philosophy is what used to make Fujifilm the standard for firmware, but now I give that award to Nikon.

    I researched cameras and decided on the Z6III

    I researched cameras till I couldn't anymore. The part that gets me is the cost. A price tag of $5000.00 is not out of the realm of possibilities for a decent camera. I wanted a hybrid camera with great photo and video quality. I bounced between the SONY Alphas and the Nikon Z series. As my research continued, I narrowed my results to the Nikon D6III and the Sony Alpha A7 IV. The most compelling part of my research was the fact I could still use my old F-lenses with the Nikon FTZii adaptor. The more YouTube videos I watched about both cameras my choice became clear. Nikon for the WIN! I'm able to use my old F lenses I've spent $1000s on. I was skeptical about an adaptor. However, let me tell you. Nikon doesn't let you down! The autofocus works with my old lenses. The electronic stabilization works! And with my VR 70-300mm lens, even the lens VR mode works! The video quality is amazing! The photo quality is absolutely 100% professional! If you are a novice or an expert photographer, the Nikon D6iii is most certainly a high contender. Nikon reduced the cost with a partially stacked sensor to reduce the cost. However, this camera has capabilities that exceed the Z7, Z8, and Z9 for this price point! I'll probably never use all the features of this camera, like the RAW video and N-log. But it's ALL there if you need it and have a nice editing computer and software like Davinci. It will most certainly cost a whole lot more money with software and CFespress cards to get cinema quality from this camera. However, it has that capality if you need a camera to grow with you.

    This camera is great! It's great for sports for photography as it gets some of the autofocus features from Z8 and Z9, which makes it super fast and reliable autofocus. Good to use it for many other things too. It's a great camera for portraits. Great camera for street and landscape photography. It also has very good video capabilities. This is a camera that fits semi to professional but is not the same price tag as the higher resolution Nikon Z cameras are. Great value. Great overall digital mirrorless camera!

    Insane Hybrid Camera

    Really happy with my purchase of this camera. The image quality is perfection, as one would expect from Nikon, and the video mode is perfect too. The new partially stacked sensor does incredibly well tracking subjects and pulling focus, even when objects or other people are in front of your subject. If you're shooting in low light, you can get redeemable video footage up to 12,800 ISO (although at that point it just get a little grainy). The low light performance in this camera is way better than previous Z cameras. If you're looking for the perfect hybrid camera, this is it.

    The gentleman that waited on us was very helpful and informative. I love the camera! I was concerned at dropping down to 24.5 megapixels from 45.7 but the images are great. They are less noisy in low light situations. The autofocus is excellent.

    I mainly am doing video these days, and this camera holds its own. I am around a lot of shooters that shoot Sony but they all credit my Nikon for great visuals. I am looking at getting the ZR to add to the collection but outside of the colors and RED, this camera really is the same thing. If you are looking for something that does it all, this is it. For a long time I did also use a DSLR just for photo but I've even given that up and just use this camera. It really is all I need.

    This is a very nice camera, I like the ergonomics as it reminds me of the older D series camera I had long ago. Incredible build quality externally. Pictures are incredibly sharp and love the speed of the mirrorless(this is my first mirrorless). I bought the body only camera and vouched for the 24-120mm lens as I didn't really want a "kit" lens. I plan to use this for more video than pics, and the video quality is wonderful. The reason for 2 stars is the faulty design with the CFexpress card slot. This is a common issue just google "Nikon Z6III CFexpress card stuck" and it will come up with several videos with this issue. From what I understand, the metal(prob brass) retainer pin that keeps the card in the slot doesn't unretain(no idea if that's a word) which is why the card gets stuck. And if you have the worlds smallest screwdrive you could assist without hurting anything, but that may void the warranty. I submitted a claim, waiting to hear back. But I wanted to bring this attention to others so they can avoid(for now). However, The SDXC card slot works perfectly fine and there are no issues with it. CFexpress cards are able to read faster and for high resolution videos and if you take burst photos, the SD cards won't keep up unless you spend several hundreds on a fast card. Regardless due to Physics, the SDXC can only handle so much. So having the CFexpress option is brilliant, when it works.
