Review: Impressive! - I've been shooting with a D5200 since 2013 and wanted to go fullframe. Was going to buy the D750 in 2017 but video is important to me and I couldn't justify spending $1500 on a body that lacked good video focus and limited me to 1080@60p. So I looked at the Sony a7iii and was about to buy it when the reality of their high lens prices discouraged me. I mean you can get excellent Nikon mount Tamron/Sigma quality lens for significantly less than the cost of an equivalent Sony lens (I got many quality 3rd party Nikon lens for less than $800 while the equivalent Sony is greater than $2000). As great as the Sony a7iii is that sunk it for me...so I decided to wait. Well I'm glad I did as later in 2018 came the Z6 and I bought it as soon as I could. Now 2 months later and several assignments I'm still happy with the Z6. My main concern was the Z6's compatibility with my Tamron 24-70 2.8 and Tamron 70-300 vr. I'm pleased to report they both work but with some minor nuances. The 24-70 works well except when focusing continuously it looses functionality (screen goes white while it calibrates) for a split second then continues focusing like nothing happened (once every 8 seconds or so as you continuously engage focus). On the other hand the 70-300 performs (see picture of bird at 300mm in tack sharp focus though covered with leaves - cropped to allow pixel peeping) but with the same issue with the addition of a very faint buzzing sound when VR is activated on the lens. Also did a test with a friends Tamron 70-210 f4 and it totally does not work. You get the message "Error. Press and release shutter button again." that does not go away after you press and release the shutter. Did some night shots (FTZ, Tamron 24-70 2.8 A007N, Altura flash unit) at an event and boy I had to work to get focus. Forget auto focus continuous and face detection at night and be prepared for the drudgery of auto focus single and checking to ensure target focus. To be fair focus is about as good as that on my D5200 (though it does not feel as snappy). However, my focusing with the Z6 was really hit or miss at first but when I got use to it my keepers increased. Don't throw in the towel yet for this wonderful camera. High ISO pictures show much less noise and performs better than many top full frame cameras and you don't have to worry as much about focus calibration issues. Also did a whole night shoot with one half charged battery and it still has 2 bars to spare. The Z6 feels well built compared to the D5200 and is noticeably heavier (with FTZ adapter on) than my D5200 with a 3rd party grip attached. The informative and excellent EVF, awesome touch LCD, high frame rate with fast clearing bufffer, much lighter than dslr alternative, awesome dynamic range, superb video, etc makes this camera a joy to use.
Review: I love this camera! - I have owned the Z 6 now for about six months. It has quickly become my favorite camera and my first pick when I am selecting a camera to use. About me: I am a hybrid shooter. I shoot run and gun style family videos, timelapse, and the night sky. I have only shot on Nikon cameras as my support system all use Nikon professionally and will let me try out their glass before I purchase. I have personally owned the D610 and still own D810 and D850. Pros: light Z lenses (love the silent video autofocus) video autofocus Sharp EVF low light performance IBIS-VR Cons: Lack of native, wide, fast lenses EVF and monitor brightness difference First off, I want to address the biggest complaint I have heard about this camera — dual card slots. Most of my cameras have had dual card slots, and I find myself using the second slot not to shoot redundant but to separate video and photo or as overflow for when I fill the first card. This was nice because as I purchased higher MP cameras, I did not buy larger cards, so it was nice to have the overflow onto the second card. With my introduction to the XQD card on the D850, I choose to get 120 GB cards. They are expensive, but they are much faster. I would rather unload a full XQD card as compared to an SD card. Even the latest generation SD cards that I own are at least 1/3rd slower than my XQD card. I love how light this camera is. When paired with f2.8 glass, this weight difference is not night and day different. However, when paired with the F-mount 50 f1.8 lens (my favorite adapted lens), the Z 6 is very light and very capable. My favorite capability of the new system is the video autofocus. As a Nikon user who is not expert in manual focus, I love this feature. Nikon will continue to improve the autofocus system as shown by their efforts to add eye-AF. In close shots I think this AF system excels, I hope that future firmware updates will increase the functionality at further distances. I find the in body VR to be very helpful. I am now hand holding shoots that I would have previously skipped without a tripod. When paired with a Z-mount lens, VR is improved even further. Speaking of the z-mount lenses, they are the perfect partners to this new system. ESPECIALLY when it comes to AF and video! Silent AF paired with negligible focus breathing is fantastic! The 24-70 f2.8 s was my first native lens, but it won't be my last. As mentioned earlier, I love shooting the night sky. To shoot without tracking, this requires a wide, fast lens. That is something this system lacks. I have used the 14-24 f2.8 f-mount adapted. This combo does give outstanding results. The adapter is just one more thing to pack/forget, which is why I am looking forward to the day a high performing native lens is available for astro on the Z-mount. The display is super sharp, which makes checking focus on stars very easy. When shooting the night sky, I use a loupe for checking focus on the D850 and D810. I found that the loupe is not needed on the Z 6. Additionally, the night sky is made easier with ISO invariance and improved performance (dual native?) at ISO 800. As lenses will resolve with time, my only real con is the difference in brightness on the EVF and the monitor. Even on the lowest setting, I think the EVF is too bright and shows a picture brighter (higher exposure) than it will be exposed. I think the monitor is accurate, but the EVF is too bright. I wish they were matched in brightness. Overall, I love this system. It has hiccups just like any system, but for my style of shooting it is excellent. I have no reservations saying to buy it. It is not going to make you a stand up videographer/photographer, no camera can. However, it makes the experience enjoyable for me, which means I am practicing more.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What format of memory does it use?**
A: It has one XQD card slot which will be upgraded to CFExpress with an upcoming firmware update.  I've been using XQD cards on the D500, D850 and Z6.  It is much faster than the fastest SD cards and is a more robust card less likely to be damaged.  Most professional work does not require two cards - it requires two separate cameras.  Usually shooting in backup mode slows down the camera unacceptably, so it is not used for critical work that needs a fast frame rate.  Pricing of XQD cards is about the same as equivalent size UHS-II SD cards and often cheaper - even though XQD cards are 50% faster.

**Q: made in Japan?**
A: Yes. Made at nikon factory in sendai japan

**Q: Will Nikkor lenses from Z30 fit?**
A: Yes, it will.

**Q: does nikon have an app for this?**
A: Yes, Nikon uses its own app where you can import photos directly from camera and use as a remote.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent camera
*by E***D on May 10, 2019*

After buying one Z6 and using it on jobs and loving it. I sold all my DSLR cameras and picked up a second Z6. I have shooting all my wedding and portrait jobs with them and it works great. Super clear high ISO images. All my older F mount Nikon lens work great on it and seem to be much sharper now they ever on any of my DSLRs. I love the exposure comp live view and image playback in the viewfinder. I do not see myself ever owning a DSLR again. I have shot in low light, bright sun and into the sun with backlit subjects and the Z6 is fantastic. Shot weddings, Portraits, Sports and just fun stuff with it. This is a quality workhorse camera. Battery life is great one of my last shoots I shot over 1000 images and the battery was not even at half yet.
