It’s been a long time coming and the rumour mill has been at fever pitch for a year or more, but Nikon has finally unveiled the latest in its Z 6 line of ‘enthusiast’ full-frame mirrorless cameras.
With a lower 24.5Mp count than Nikon’s more upmarket (and expensive) pro models, which boast twice the resolution at 45.7Mp, it’s a little chunkier than its predecessors (the Z 6 and Z 6II shared near-identical dimensions), but a fair bit smaller than the bigger-bodied Z 8.
At a glance it looks very much in keeping with its forebears, with a near-identical control layout. There’s a new button to illuminate the top-plate LCD (which is a little bigger than in previous models), the Playback and Release Mode buttons have swapped places, and the rear LCD swings out to the side and can be reversed for viewfinder-only shooting, rather than merely flipping up and down. On the inside, however, things are dramatically different.
Key features
As previously mentioned, the sensor resolution is the same, at 24.5Mp, It has two memory card slots; one CFexpress (backwards-compatible with XQD) and one SDXC UHS-II. It takes the same EN-EL15c battery that slots into the protruding grip, and a pair of rubber flaps on the side reveal mic, headphone, USB-C, HDMI and ‘Accessory Terminal’ sockets.
