Z6III FX-format Mirrorless Camera Body

You're moving the goalposts. You suggested buying a Z6iii, in place of a top-of-the-line DX body. I pointed out that that might not be an optimal choice, if you were looking for reach. Now you're claiming that D500 sales dropped, after the D850 came out. I have not seen data like that. Can you point

Why is Nikon like this? They can well match the pack and provide the quality that blows them away. Then they choose to do things like only jpg in pre-capture and a 20mp Z6iii instead of 36mp.

The Z5ii is just about everything good about the Zf but with a body that makes sense for a general use photographer. That was always the thing about the Zf, with a BSI sensor and EXPEED7, it was far more capable than it needed to be to sell. So people whined about the ergonomis but it realistically

The z8 and z9 are the mirrorless flagships. They will be the best Nikon has to offer (at present). It sounds more like user error on the z6iii. You should not be getting worse results with it. Any chance you bought it secondhand?

For product photography, the Z6iii has pixel-shift shooting which can be used for increased resolution in set-piece photography on a tripod. That's it's only real IQ advantage. A 24MP FX sensor from Nikon will deliver similar detail resolution and base ISO IQ regardless of whether it's the original

I have a Nikon Z8 and a Z6iii. Over the past year I have put about 100k impressions on the Z8 and about 10k on the Z6iii. I mostly shoot birds and other wildlife and almost always head out with a two lens set up and a camera body on each lens. My current kit consists of 70–200, 400 F45, 600 PF and 8

Yes the difference from the Z6III to the Z8 is enormous, assuming you would be taking advantage of those differences. The Z8 is a unicorn both in Nikon's current lineup and the current market environment, as it is unbelievably cheap relative to the competition (relatively speaking of course). Having

Why the bands are parallel and evenly spaced: (Simplifying a little.) The mechanical shutter closes to start the exposure and the sensor resets. The shutter has been open while focusing and composing, so that the sensor can send the view to the rear monitor or EVF. At his 1/1250 second exposure, thi

You can always cherry pick images, it's not any more helpful than me picking a horribly distorted image of a fan to show you. The wings aren't flapping in that photo (the bird is banking), and there is nothing visible in the background. If that photographer was panning at the same speed as the bird,

Is the Z6 III that far beyond Z6 II in autofocus? I've only used the Nikon Z5 and its continuous autofocus is dog shit. Thankfully I only use it for stills, but it's focus is reaaaaal clunky when you need to switch to mild action or people. Anyway, my point being, I always heard the Z6 II was quite
