The anticipation for the Nikon Z6 III camera has been heightened with the release of an official teaser video, promoting its upcoming launch on June 17.
Recent rumors have surrounded the Nikon Z6 III, highlighting its impressive specifications, especially concerning video capabilities. It’s been previously speculated that the camera would be unveiled on June 11.
Enhanced Features
The Nikon Z6 III offers several improvements over its predecessor, the Nikon Z6 II. This full-frame camera supports 4K ProRes RAW video and 6K, with a maximum frame rate of 120 fps. It’s rumored that the new autofocus system is on par with that of the flagship Z9 model.
Released in 2020, the previous-gen Nikon Z6 II is a mid-range full-frame mirrorless camera, well-regarded by professionals and other users for its functionality.
Potential Upgrades
Speculations suggest that the new camera will feature upgrades that enhance its appeal for both photography and videography. The Z6 III reportedly maintains the same 24.5MP BSI CMOS sensor as its predecessor but includes dual Expeed 7 processors. This setup enables higher-resolution videos and frame rates.
The Z6 III can capture 6K videos in 12-bit NRAW format, though the frame rate for this scenario remains unknown. Comparatively, the Z6 II is limited to 4K at 60fps. Full HD video capability remains unchanged in the new model, at 240fps in 8-bit with a crop.
Improved Autofocus and Ergonomics
The autofocus system of the Z6 III is highly impressive, comparable to some of Nikon’s flagship models, the Z8 and Z9. Additionally, it boasts a better cooling system and improved ergonomics over its predecessor. The pricing details for the Nikon Z6 III and its optics will be confirmed at the launch.
