Nikon D850 vs Z6III

I have the exact same setup. D850, D5, Z6iii. Z6iii video is outstanding. I don’t do professional video but the quality is great for home use. For stills, D850 is the best quality. Obvious answer there. Z6iii and D5 are comparable in image quality. I like the D5 autofocus better in fast, crowded env

Switching to Nikon, pitfalls

As a professional, if your kid is the reason for the BM6K, you’re way overthinking it. Just get good with the Sony, or if you really want to switch (it won’t matter anyway), just get a Z6III and call it a day. You’ll get the “Nikon color”, you get the raw video of the blackmagic, and 24MP is plenty

My first week with the Nikon Z6III

Quick note since many of your points are video recording specific: Likely in a bid to split the capabilities of cameras, Nikon also made the ZR, which is basically a Z6iii with no viewfinder and some shaving off of camera features in exchange for loads of video specific features, including 3D LUT. B

Z5 is cheaper now than Z50ii. Should I get the Z5 in 2026 for travel and family photography?

Okay, so let's list the advantages and disadvantages of the Z5 : + much better sensor for low light, and shallow DoF + IBIS, and more diverse full frame catalogue, ability to have stabilization with every lens you adapt to it, even F mount zooms that didn't have it. + dual card slots, I find this pr

Considering the move from Fuji to Nikon as a pro photographer

You should probably rent a Z6III or Z8 and Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 or 70-200 f2.8 and use it as either a spare camera on a shoot or run through an event you’re at but not necessarily getting paid for. So let’s start with this- full frame when shooting wide open at any field of view is going to require a l

Everyone seems to love the new Zr, why was then everyone hating on the Z6iii?

The general reception of the Z6iii was very good. At the time (and maybe even now?) it's such an incredible bang-for-buck for what you get at the price. It's arguably the most capable hybrid mirrorless camera in it's price range, and it's not close; a workhorse for both hobbyists and professionals.

Philip Bloom has found some interesting noise issues.

It’s been said before, but I think the ZR is already being pushed to capacity given that it doesn’t have an active cooling system. Compression takes more CPU bandwidth than simply handling more uncompressed data even though the data rates are larger. There seems to me to be little reason for Nikon n

Z5ii or Z6iii

Let's start with video. Unless you plan to do professional production, the video in the Z5II will more than suffice for recording your toddler growing up. With video out of the way, the Z6III's primary advantage is 14fps in RAW mechanical vs. 11fps in RAW with a mechanical shutter, or 20fps vs. 15fp

Nikon Z8 or Canon R6 III for video

Actually, you are comparing a high end (baby flagship) from Nikon to a mid-spec Canon. There are few fronts on which the Canon will come out ahead which is NOT a criticism. I would take a Nikon or Canon camera before I would consider anything else. In this case though, the Canon competition is the Z
