NIKON Z6 III PUTS A NEW EMPHASIS ON VIDEO

Nikon has unveiled the Z6 III, Nthe successor to the original Z6 and 2020's Z6 II. While the Z6 II largely added incremental quality-of-life improvements to the Z6, the Z6 III takes the Z6 line a few steps further, with new sensor technology, and a new emphasis on hybrid video and content creation.

Launched back in 2018, the Z6 series kicked off Nikon's new mirrorless lineup, and the Z6 III might be a signal of Nikon's future ambitions. While the sensor resolution remains at 24.5 megapixels, the sensor itself is a new 'partially stacked' design, offering much faster readout speeds. This allows for an electronic shutter that's capable of shooting up to 120 frames per second in DX crop mode, and 60fps in full FX mode.

The maximum shutter speed has been increased to 1/16,000 sec, though it doesn't match the 1/32,000 sec speed of the Z8 and Zg. The mechanical shutter enables rates of 20fps for JPEGS and 14fps for raw images. Flash photography will still require the mechanical shutter due to the electronic shutter's readout speed limitations.
