    Itโ€™s nice that Nikon is truly back.
  • @dp_ion
    12bit internal RAW is very impressive. great work, nikon
  • @ryangarb
    Until today, I would never have given Nikon a thought, but holy hell those video abilities are insane for the price
  • @DynamicPhil84
    I'm very impressed with how Nikon has evolved over the years. They are REALLY delivering quality improvements with each new camera body. Only thing I can see missing from the Z6iii is no full sensor open gate mode for anamorphic 1.5x and 1.6x lenses. I hope they'll add this in a future firmware update.
  • @FabledFew
    Man, it was very hard keeping quiet about this camera for so long. Glad itโ€™s out and everyone can appreciate how good it is!
  • You've done something in this video I've not seen ANYONE else do anywhere... and that's use a feature of the product you're reviewing as part of your sponsor "commercial"--in this case the line audio capability of the camera. That's brilliant, and you should market to your sponsors this unique and creative approach. Typically I skip past the sponsorship schpeal and get back to the video, but because you were in demonstration mode of the audio, I was compelled to listen to you talk about the sponsor...just brilliant!
  • @bobsykes
    The portions of your reviews measuring dynamic range have become by far the most trusted source of that information to me. Your repeatable, scientific approach is unmatched. Iโ€™m almost exclusively a stills photographer, but I watch your reviews anyway because I value your to that topic of performance approach so highly.

    "That is bananas " while having bananas ( as a lamp ? ) in the background ๐Ÿคฃ
  • @BoostLeekdMedia
    Looks like a darn good upgrade for someone with the original Z6. Comparing the specs from the Z6 to the Z6iii...the Z6iii is a HUGE upgrade, especially in terms of video performance and autofocus. Great video Gerald!
  • Nikon is finally setting the bar high. Great future for us photographers and filmmakers with all the new technology coming out.
  • @DiodeFilms
    sub 10ms 6k internal RAW for less than ยฃ3k?! Did not see that coming. Nikon is clearly very serious about establishing themselves in this market, and we've not even seen how the RED aquisition is going to affect things yet.
  • The Z6 III makes the Canon R6 II and Sony A7IV look like outdated cameras. It surpassed those on all technical aspects. High ISO out-of-camera JPEG looks very good on the Z6 III as well.
  • @Hobbies4Hire
    Great job on the video Gerald! Thanks for making it.
  • @IPGAuto
    Just remember folks, the A7IV got 12.6 stops and A7S III got 12.8 stops, while the Z6 III gets 12.5 stops DR after using a better log and NR in post. It looks like there is more flexibility in post vs NR in camera like the Sony or Canons. Interesting.
  • @ViianaCodes
    These new videos are so good! A chill Gerald Undone, with the bananus in the background. Dialed!
  • @Skaratak
    We need more 4k60 FF cameras without annoying crop or overheating. I love my Lumix S5 a lot (it became very affordable, btw!) and use it for all of my DJ videos in tricky light situations, but yeah, it can only do 4k30 unlimited...
  • @levelonup0314
    Iโ€™m watching this before Nikonโ€™s premiere presentation! 1:13 to go before it starts! Letโ€™s go!
  • Hey Gerald! I love how thorough and insightful your videos are, especially with all the graphs and tests you include. It would be amazing if you could make a video explaining the tests, charts, and theories you use in your reviews and what does it relates in the real world itself. This would be super helpful for new users like myself who want to understand the concepts better. Thanks for all your great content!
