Its a funny term isn´t it pro or semi pro… nikon z6 ii has been my camera for wedding photography since it came out. As a ´pro ´ photographer I dont want a heavier body or more megapixels. Its a very small percentage of ´pros´ that need a z9/z8.. wildlife or sports perhaps but for weddings/events and family photography they are overkill. I just want better autofocus with z6 iii

For me I would like the camera to have either 24/33MP BSI sensor, low light enhanced for Astro, the flip back screen from the Z8, CF Express/SD cards, and other features from the ZF like the senor VR, Pixel Shift, pre-release capture (RAW). It is totally understandable that it would have a shutter/silent mode. Having no shutter would require a stacked sensor and that would increase the cost. Look forward to seeing you back in the New Year. Merry Christmas from New Zealand.

Moving the Z6iii upmarket would be a mistake in my opinion. It would leave Nikon without a clear competitor to the Sony A7iv or the Canon R6ii. As it is, Nikon needs to improve the AF on the Z6iii just to catch up with these competitor models, never mind pulling ahead of them. Unless Nikon is planning on updating the Z5 to fill the gap left behind by an upwardly mobile Z6iii, they will alienate a lot of people with smaller budgets who are just getting into the world of ILC photography. Aside from which, a lot of weight conscious professionals gripe about the size and weight of the new gear. If compact and light is the priority, "dangling pinky syndrome" is likely the cross they will have to bear. With an (AF, MP, fps) beefed up Z6iii and presumably a 60MP Z7iii shortly thereafter, Nikon will have a camera to cater to all the Goldilocks photographers out there.

I think Nikon will pack the Z6 III with a lot of tech to outperform both R6 II, A7 IV and whatever Panasonic will put out with the S1 mk II. Then they will update the Z5 and sell it under 2k (in my mind it sounds like a competitor to the Panasonic S5 II) and, in the end (next year), maybe create another entry level fullframe camera, like a Z4 for example, with basic specs, just the original Z5 sensor but with the Expeed 7 and all the good it brings in terms of AF and speed improvements. Create a Z6 III with a focus on cost cutting only to fall in line with the Z6 II pricetg is simply wrong in my opinion because they will end up making a camera that's nothing really better then Canon and Sony but that will came out respectively one year and two and half year later, it would be too late. We will see what Nikon has in mind, but i would be a lot disappointed if they came out with a "weak" Z6 III (relatevely speaking) compared to what the Z9 and Z8 have been in the last two years.

@@matthewsykes2646 I don't pay much attention to other camera brands to comment on your points made comparing the bodies- one thing i can say as someone who owns nearly 10 Z lenses, is i don't care about the other companies. I decided long ago i was ready to be married to the nikon Z series and dropped the $ on their lenses to be stuck with them until the next leap in lens technology. Right now i have a Z9 with a Z6II backup (sometimes ultra low light body as the sensor is cleaner than the Z9- even if dynamic range not as good). If the Z6III is a similar sensor to the Z6II with AF comparable to the Z8/Z9 - i will sell my Z6II and pre order a Z6III. If the Z6III is a beefed up 33mp body closer to the Z8, I'll either keep my Z6II or find another body for that purpose (i almost bought the Zf, but lack of function buttons scared me off- love my Z6II for static images, but hate it's continuous AF modes). My goal in replying isn't to bicker- i found your points informative, but just to provide a point of view from someone who has already heavily invested in nikon versus a virgin shooter deciding what system to get into.

@@uhoh7541 i agree with you. When i wrote "a lot of technology" i was meaning all the good things we saw in the Z8 and the Zf, plus some other small update like the viewfinder. I also don't want an higher mpx camera, in my opinion the difference between 24 and 33 is not that relevant, and i 100% prefer a 24mpx camera with better lowligt performance and a fast readout speed in both stills and video, and no compromises like, for example, a crop in 4K 60P mode. That's why i'm a skeptic about the price, technology (unfortunately) has a cost, and all of those updates won't come for free, but i think that, seeing how well priced the Z8 has been with all the technology it has, Nikon will place the Z6 III in a really competitive place, i think around 2.5K. We'll see, let's hope for the best, the less it cost the sooner i'll be able to buy it 😂

If the camera ends up with all these upgrades and similar ergos to the Z8 then it's going to be difficult to add in a Z7III as that will basically be a Z8.

The first mirrorless Nikon camera I purchased was a Z6 with the 24-70 kit lens. I still own the body but purchased a 24-120 f4 lens and love it. I am just so familiar with the Z6 that I use it as my primary body for senior sports banner and head shot, actually for just about everything even though it has one card slot, for action sports I use a Z9. 24 mp is just fine for me however with some of the market leaning toward purchasing a higher mp body because they are consumed by a high mp count, perhaps the 33 mp Z6 III body makes sense. I would really like to get a Zf body just because of the retro look, love the leather cases and hand grip. If I get tired of one color just slip on another. I have a small rig partial leather case for my Zfc in tan and really think it looks great. I wish you both a merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you again In January . Ted in Sebastian, Fl.

If they keep it as 24 MP they can make it super video - centric which is what they need I think with all the move to video. They could make it with 30-33 as well maybe , but the rolling shutter on the A7 IV is terrible , 24 would be faster to read. The Z6/ II are good for video , so if they give it fully articulating screen, and more features like shutter angle , wave form and such , it would be amazing!

As a professional who does not do fast paced work I really like the XQD / SD combination in my Z6ii and Z8, although the XQD cards are great they are expensive and harder to get than the SD. I love having the SD as I can just put them directly into my MacBook while out and about without having to worry about adapters, I usually just do this at home as well rather than messing about with an adapter. Having the Micro SD in the Zf does not concern me in the slightest either, the buffer in the Zf seems perfectly adequate and in my mind it would just stay in the camera as backup anyway. Some may be concerned about the longevity of these cards but I have a high quality one that runs 24/7 in my dashcam for well over a year now with no issues, I’m sure those needing the speed of dual XQD wouldn’t be going for a Zf anyway?

The built in TC (560mm f/4) is ideal for football and soccer and still supports many other sports. Additionally, I also do a bit of birding and I use the external 1.4 TC along with the internal TC to get just shy of 800mm f/5.6 focal length and the images are amazingly tack sharp. Love the show!

Your hands must be larger than mine. My Z6 is large enough for my hand. Also, I much prefer the flippy screen of the Zf. It closes up to protect the screen, and makes it easier to do low-angle macro shots. With the Z6 I still have to lay on my belly and put my face in the ground to see the viewfinder. I also have Olympus cameras, and my Z6 is only slightly larger than the Olympus EM1.3, which has a flippy screen, high-res pixel-shift shooting, and in-camera focus stacking. I would love to have a Z camera with bird detect, slightly more MP and a flippy screen, but lightweight like the Z6. I want a full-frame camera with size and some features similar to the Olympus. Depending on what the Z6III looks like, I may be pushed into the Zf with a grip, which is not ideal, but being small and light is critical for me, with arthritis. Just give me small and light with good IBIS, bird detect, and a flippy screen please! For the cards, I totally agree with you on the Zf. I would have been happier to see the Zf with the single CF express card like my old Z6, rather than the SD and micro-SD card combo.

When I got the z6 the first in my adopted country it felt small since my cameras were D850 and D800 with grips but after a few updated on AF firmware it's travel camera assignment changed to main camera and the D850 as backup. The Z6 is my main income camera. Adding the hand strap to it made it so secure in hand I can do a 8 hour session in the field and not even think about the weight even with a 70-200 2.8 attached. The hand strap eliminates figure/hand fatigue. If the Z6 3 has the Expeed 7 speed and AF advantage The Z6 3 could replace my beloved but seldom used D850 so my F mount glass can be retired. Or save up for a Z8 as primary and keep the Z6 as second shooter camera with all the great S glass shared between the two cameras. There are no bad choices. If I stick with the Z6, I am still happy. The 85 1.2 S on the Z6 produces better images than the D850 with the 85 1.4 Sigma which beats the Nikkor 85 1.4

We need wider pancake lenses for the Nikon Zed. I was complaining today when vlogging that the 28mm f/2.8 seemed not wide enough. Then I realized the 40mm f/2 was on it instead. User Error Again! Cheers!

Zf features in Z6 body (without shitty screen) would be great!

The Zf was basically everything I hoped for in the Z8 - improved/Expeed7 level AF, fully articulating screen and 10-bit internal video but in the mid-range. The IBIS improvements, pixel shift and other improvements are all great too. I'm primarily a photographer but Nikon's video is actually beautiful, 10-bit would help a little in post. I'm sorely tempted for the Zf and even happy to deal with the shortcomings of grip and lack of buttons but not with the prospect of the Z6iii potentially pulling something out of the hat

Z6 III - ergonomic and larger body, weight about 800 grams, battery from z9, electronic rear curtain, stabilization and autofocus system from ZF, 7th processor, old sensor and price is 200 usd less than ZF. May be)

Are we basically talking about a Sony Alpha A7 IV? One of my shooters uses the Sony Alpha A7 IV and many things I see in the Z6iii is very close to this Sony. Either way, Nikon needs to hit it out of the park on this one. As a Z9 and Z7ii shooter, I don't plan on another camera, if I did, I would like get another Z9. But I would like to see Nikon hit it out of the park with several upgraded cameras.

33mpx is too slow. Beter 24mpx with 4k50p with no crop

The body (Z6 III) is bigger to support the CFexpress card.

I think that if they are only going to 6K recording then it makes more sense for Nikon to stick with 24MP's. If they were to do 8K video I could see it going up to 33MP, but then it will eat into more of the Z8/Z9 market. I am leaning towards it being 24MPs like the rumours are and be able to record 6K full-frame (hopefully 60fps), or at least 4k 60fps full without a crop.

I wouldn’t be disappointed if it were another 24mp sensor with good low light performance, I would rather that than slightly higher with less performance.

@@oliverlane4050i use a Z6II as backup and for low light ability as the Z9 sensor can get noisy. Will probably preorder a Z6III if it's 24mp and reevaluate just keeping the Z6II if otherwise. Basically wanting a Z6II sensor with AF closer to Z8/Z9.

All I’m hoping is the Z6iii doesn’t make me regret buying my Z8.. I tried to wait for it but I couldn’t help myself.. my z6 did me well but I had to use single point way too much

After listening here I really gave some thought on what I would like in a Z6III coming from a Z6II and also owning a Z8. I like the size of the Z6 now and hope it's doesn't grow in size much. Exceed 7 and auto focus like Z8 or Zf is a must. 2 real card slots with one being SD ok. Keep the camera size the same. Don't have an opinion on sensor size. 6k vid? OK. sensor guard like Z8 would be great and know this will increase size, but its a great feature. Hoping that I can set up all the buttons to be same as Z8 set up. This would be a nice to have. and also having a monochrome option on the photo / video lever like Zf would be a very nice to have. I think I would use this often. Anyway , happy holidays and pleasant dreams for what's coming next year. - Tim

Most digital cameras to this point have been stills cameras that can also do video. The Z6 III will be a video camera that can also do stills. Yes it may have the new processor but without a stacked sensor the high frame rate is a moot point. I have the Z6 III and it's horrible to use in burst mode with moving subjects. I hate the screen blackout. You have no idea where the subject is in the frame. The auto focus and screen blackout are my biggest pet peeves with most mirrorless cameras to this point. I'm saving up for the Z8 early next year. I was wanting a mirrorless D500 but you can shoot the Z8 in DX mode and get the same results.

It has to be a 33mp sensor - I had 36 on the D800 and D810 and this was perfect for my workflow - 24mp are a little bit to small and the Z7 with 45mp I use only for realy big prints
