- In this video I go over the sales numbers of the Nikon Z6III mirrorless camera and what this could mean for Nikon when it comes to camera marketshare vs Canon and Sony.
I predicted the Nikon Z6 III being the most sold Nikon in history. Will the Nikon Z6III be that camera that puts Nikon over the top? Nikon is making waves in the photography and videographer community with the Z6III camera. Don't sleep on @nikonusa
I also talk about why I call out @froknowsphoto
I try out a new @viltroxofficial lens I got from Viltrox for Z mount
and more

Polin's last video on the unboxing of the Z6III was pretty positive. He has tempered his opinion a lot since the Z6 days. As an owner of both the Z6 and Z6II, and now having an order in for the Z6III, Jared's complaints of the original Z6's AF capabilities was justified. He certainly has a bias against Nikon now, but at one point he was a Nikon fanboy, and there are fan boys for all brands. Jared does produce some pretty good videos and usually quite entertaining. It is important to realize that he is an entertainer first. For Canon and Sony users, his camera reviews help to validate their system choice, and if he gets additional views by knocking one brand over an other, he will do it. I cut him some slack, but do understand that his opinion is not gospel.
IDK if I'd say he's tempered his opinion since the Z6 days. Maybe he did, but only because he was losing followers probably. I still find that he (along with the Nortups) like to take jabs at Nikon whenever they get the chance. Even if it's subtle things like "While the Z6 III is an outstanding camera, but [the] Canon..." If he's not talking about camera gear, then he's fine (like when he does his photo reviews / critiques) those are fine for the most part.
did u catch the “hood not great “ jab.
@@Vahagraphy Even he had to admit that the Plena is a once-in-a-generation must-have lens.
Jared is such a fraud. He even says Sony is behind Canon in autofocus. Nobody believes that nonsense. While I don't always agree with Vahagen, he's right in pointing out Jared is sponsored by Canon and, as a result-is biased. My apologies in advance if I misspelled your name.
I used to follow Fro and the Northrups back in the day, now they are just clowning around and are more about "content" as opposed to information. To much "youtubiness" for me. Also can't stand Fro's high pitched voice anymore and the constant yelling. Like, dude, dial it down! Gerald is the only one i can respect for now.
Bro I love your channel keep up the good work!
Vahagn, great video and thoughtful comments. First, thank you for saying "Seth said it best" on autofocus. I watched his livestream and love his unscripted -- but intelligent -- take on things. I would love to see you and Seth do a livestream. You are the only two people I have heard say this word on a regular basis: "community". That's why I watch you and Seth. Genuine passion with a touch of NY and LA.
Seth also said this best: Nikon could have "strangled" the features on the Z6III but instead chose to "innovate". It's not a parts-bin camera. It is feature rich at this price point. Nikon went after the profitable middle-market and delivered an exciting camera. Some may say it's priced $500 too high. It wasn't intended to be a $1,999 camera with these features. Others will say it's missing features that $3,000-3,500 cameras have. It's perfectly targeted at the $2,500 buyer who will value the features it has. If it doesn't fit a budget or feature expectation, then don't buy it. Thanks again for the great content. 👍
"I'm a Nikon fanboy." That's what I tell people when they ask my opinion on camera systems and which one to buy into. The Nikon Z6 III is very much eagerly anticipated so the reaction has been incredible. I have my pre-order in. My Z6 will stay as a backup camera for videography and as a time lapse camera (love the built in intervalometer - wait, Sony cameras don't have that built in? LOL!). I've been a Nikon user since I bought a Nikon FE2 in 1983, brand new. I've tried other systems. My cousin was a Nikon person, too, but when everything started going to digital he switched to Canon as they led the industry for DSLRs. He now wants to come back to Nikon but he can't afford it. That brings up a good point: most of the people who have pre-ordered a Z6 III or are thinking about it, are existing Nikon users or people who want to come back to Nikon after experiencing the "other two" (Sony and their terrible ergonomics, poor design choices, crappy menus. Canon with their indecisiveness about where to put their controls and their insistence on making their cameras look organic). Did Jared Polin's videos affect actual sales of Nikon cameras? They probably have. Did his comments bring to light the fact that Nikon has been trying to catch up with regards to AF performance? Yes, they have. Have his comments caught the attention of the Nikon higher-ups who drive product development to try to do better? Probably. I believe that was his goal when he pointed out these issues and I truly respect his opinion as he has used all three systems and he has experienced the shortcomings of all of them then he points them out without worrying about pissing off a sponsor. I do not believe that he is sponsored by any of the big three camera companies or any camera company. Will the Z6 III bring Canon and/or Sony users over to Nikon? I highly doubt it. It's a great camera but if you're invested in a system then it's hard to change due to financial reasons. It might draw in new camera purchasers but we Nikon people are outnumbered so it's a losing battle. Remember, Nikon is a camera company that makes electronics and other things. Sony is an electronics company that makes cameras. Canon is Canon: they have a lot of quirks. For me, I'll stick with my beloved Nikons.
hello sir which nd filter did you use...?
Hi Vahagn jan. Im also happy about Z6iii and for a DSLR shooter for 14 years, my waiting pays off and this is going to be the time to switch to mirrorless system and keep my Nikon DSLRs as a backup force. Cheers
He is right in that Sony and Canon have slightly better autofocus. Though, the importance of the difference is highly exaggerated. Anyhow, there are so many features that reviewers no longer talk about or play down. Lowlight performance is one of them. I don't think all these experts are aware that there are still species out there that we do not have proper photos of in the wild. They come out at dusk and move so quickly that only a great lowlight performing camera can capture them. This I realised when visiting Madagascar a few years ago.
Overall, I have always enjoyed your channel. Your insight on gear and passion for photography and the community are always refreshing. I must point out though that I took a break from the channel when you chose a few times to step out of the photography space and dabble in politics. My 'personal' opinion is that the dabbling is part of the reason for the comments about Amar. Thank you for pointing out that things like that have no place in photography. Looking forward to enjoying my Z6III and your reviews on it.
I tell anyone who asks me what camera they should buy to go to your camera store or brick and mortar store and pick them up. Hold them in your hands, bring it up to your eye, look at the back monitor, snap a few pics and see which one feels the best. If you’re happy and excited about the one you’re holding you’re gonna wanna take it out more and use it. The top 3 or 4 camera makes are making fantastic cameras with all kinds of features. I’ve been shooting Nikon for almost 30 years starting in film and currently shooting with a Z6 and Z9 (I’ve ordered my Z6III and can’t wait!). Nikon feels great in my hands, I know the layouts and menus, the quirks and its strengths. Do I think one is better than the other, no. I think they’re all great companies and you just gotta know what your needs are and which one will get you out shooting. Great video, just hope I don’t have to wait too long before mine arrives.
Been Nikon shooter since D90, first dslr with video capabilities. Used to Nikon ergonomics and button layout. I can never understand Sony and Canon menu, button layout..its instict and second nature, love Nikon and I'm glad I stayed with Nikon.😅
Viltrox match perfect with ZF in every possible way. Love it! Great channel!
Is the Nikon Z6 mark iii appealing to wider audience than intended?
Wow those Viltrox are nice, I gotta go pick one up !
First of all, I like your channel and your reviews/opinions. I am just a hobby shooter but I have used Nikon gear since 2005. I still have some old equipment here, and it still works excellent. Of all those CZcamsrs I don't like Fro and Tony/Chelsea.
I’m in the Nikon website ordering the Nikon Z6iii. My question is, if it’s currently in back order, how long does it usually take to receive? Thanks
Hi vahagraphy what do you think does nikon 85mm f1.4G will be perfect for full body portraits and also events shooting photos?
awesome lens and a lot cheaper than the Z version. I assume you would have a 2nd body though e.g. with e.g. 35mm 1.4 or 1.8.
Pls don't buy nikon version it's not sharp,the sigma version is better or even the cheapviltrox 1.8 is better.
Or ultimately get the 105 1.4e . I only stopped using mine because I bought the 85 1.2.
@@llpqazz its compulsory to have 35mm 1.4/1.8 what is the benefit to have 2nd body?
Another GREAT VIDEO (as usual)!!!! From your friend, the NIKON NUT, Stan!!!
I agree with you, you can feel that at some point, they will throw a sneaky negative and malicious jab at Nikon and everything they come out with no matter how good it is, like the 85 1.2 which blows Sony's and Canon's out of the water.
I totally agree with you, keep up the good work.
Excellent my friend. I could not have said it better BRAVO.. Thanks for saying what needs to be said.❤
Nice lenses my friend .Thanks great video.
I really have to show respect for this man that is telling the truth about videos on CZcams, everyone can say whatever about a product but it’s really hard to take a word almost from anyone now due to how ppl manipulate reviews because the sponsorships with the brands , it’s better to hear what ppl has to say and do your own research or find the way to test for yourself and if you like the product then buy it . Jared was a Nikon guy long time ago but they didn’t do something he wanted and he went with Sony . But I don’t think he will give it to Nikon even if the product is good. But it’s all about what ppl is going to shot some ppl don’t need a very fast camera so focus won’t do much difference it all depends
Nobody in their right mind is going to definitely buy or not buy a camera based on one person's opinion and some pre-production reviews.
Very cool Viltrox 40mm f/2.5 lens.
In Romania, estern Europe, the Z6 III body alone is 15000 ron (3000 euros or 3218 $) while the Z8 body is 20.000 ron (4200 $)... z6iii has to come down in price or even better... How about a Z5 mark II...
Excellent video and great camera. Please consider putting out a video encouraging Nikon and Canon to follow suit with Pentax and embrace film photography again buy releasing a new camera. This will help film to stay alive + can bring down the cost of film and provide another stream of income for them. The Pentax 17 is already sold out in Japan FYI. Take care
@Vahagraphy would great if you could debunk JB Z6iii AF claims vs R6ii in the boxing situation. Rent a R2 and reproduce the boxing AF test and show how you can change the tracking stickiness with the settings. Setting a3. Rock n Roll 🤘
That would be an interesting video. One more thing Using the Custom box focus modes should help with the stickyness as well.
Already ordered Z6 III, I believe it will break sales records for sure as Sony & Canon have been failed to deliver for years. Used all 3 major brand in the past: A9, didn't want to upgrade A1, so bought R5 in 2021, should just wait for Z9. Never too late, could not be happier with Z8 and Nikon wildlife glasses. If you love wildlife, go with Nikon ...
It’s good to have options, but that lens has a tough contender on the Nikkor 40 f2, a stunning cheap lens that performs unbelievably well
Fro is a comedian with a camera production staff
For a scientific test to be conducted correctly you have to be able to repeat the process with every test subject in the same manner. Jared list me right after he ditched Nikon for Canon and started bashing Nikon. I'm not a Nikon fan boy but that's where most of my money is invested. I believe in the Nikon system. The whole system. From the mount all the way to the color science and to the ergonomics. Yes they have been behind on some things but they have come back strong. I still think a mirrorless d500 needs to come out soon. I think it will happen.
Love your channel! Thanks for being on CZcams for us Nikon users and followers. Almost jumped ship back in 2019 and I remember testing out Nikon Z6 before deciding with Canon R6/R5 or Sony A73 or A7R3. Z6 wasn't there but good enough to keep me on Nikon side. I still got the shots and images needed with my Z6, not falling for those let your camera decide for you with eye AF...my gut feel and decision paid off, got the Z9 pre-ordered that beast when it was released why not best flagship camera (D850+D6+Red camera = Z9). Now I just need some of those features in a smaller body, I skipped Z8 since I already have the Z9 for my pro shooting needs and Z6III comes full circle with my original Z6. I love Nikon finally putting articulating screen on it, CZcamsrs, content creators now no longer have something to say negative about it. Pre-ordering and hopefully just in time for our Mediterranean and Europe trip.
Viltrox been on consideration to add one of the various. User reviews on B+H tend to be mixed and discourage me. The 16 particularly.
For wide on Zf, I can use adapted AFS 20 1.8 G or Z 14-30 f/4. I have not tried adapted AFS 16-35 f/4 yet.
I would rather have f/2.8's instead of any f/4. It would cost me and take away from adding a future Zx iii, body without large trade in of much F mount gear.
Really looking forward to seeing more Viltrox lens.
Perhaps you should stick with the title of the video and stop worrying so much about what Polin's videos say. Video he released today was actually really positive so perhaps you need to eat some crow. Sony Nikon Canon, autofocus is all really really good now in the newer Z8 9 and now 6iii. Focus in the older Z models is terrible. I shoot the Z9 and R6 II and focus system in the R6ii if superior in my opinion. Not by much but def sticks better and tracks better. You say you do not watch his stuff but CLEARLY you do because you quoted stuff from him. Stick with photography.
Canceled both my preorders even though I got in super early opted for the z8 instead.
Hey the Z8 is a great camera you will enjoy it! I 'm still ordering a Z6iii to replace my Z6ii
@@williambuford6136 I already have a z9 and zf thought the z8 would make a better backup for the z9 selling my z6 and a lens brought to z8 price down to $2500 I couldn’t resist.
Nikon won't gain market share unless they can keep up with the demand. That's my worry. They need to have the production capacity in place. If they do, this will be an all-time best seller.
I have one at home and I'll get if I can find it. Well V welcome to my world, I don't know where anything is here and I'm getting to the point where I'm just going to start throwing everything away so I can find it on the way out the door. Hey I feel like a hoarder sometimes.
As far as Nikon review go, Jared's Z6 III was the most positive one he's done in a long time. He's a Sony fanboy and nothing will compare to Sony.
That is why he has been using Canon for 3 years now
He never fails to praise Canon's AF no matter what - he says it gets it right 100% of the time out of the box. I smell BS. He sounds more like a Canon sales rep than an objective reviewer.
Happy for Nikon although one of their issues in the past when they do something well they're unprepared to meet the demand. Many times Tony & Chelsea say they want to recommend a Nikon lens or camera but the wait is over 6 months or just unknown. Professionals need a level of certain-tee. Once you switch to another band seldom do people switch back. That's why both Sony and Canon have the majority of the market.
I’m waiting for the Z9H
Don't hold your breath!
Well, whatever the new flagship is, that’s what I’m buying. I need a back up for my Z9, and don’t want to buy another Z9 when there should be a new flagship soon.
The camera is 3k€ in Germany the Zf is 2.1k€, the Z6 II was around 1.3-1.5k€ a few months ago when bought in a bundle with the 24-120. There's plenty of shops that will ship a Z6III within 1-3 days. So I would not say it is such a big success. Way too videocentric...
If Nikon is running out of cameras, J-man should be your best friend. Good for him and more for you! Don't have to wait 5 months to get your Nikon. Personally I did like his video, I his is my opinion and people have the right to disagree with me. Every CZcamsr says it's the best camera ever.. that's till the next version comes out and this one will be crap.
I take Jared and Casey as entertainment. Never to be taken seriously on most things. I don't know what Nikon did to make Jared mad, but he is still clearly biased against them. Also, within seconds he has to mention that he uses Canon cameras in studio. A sure sign he's getting something, even if only gear, from Canon. I'm sure Sony has a deal with him too. Canon and Sony AF may be slightly better in a few situations, but not enough that you will ever miss shots using Nikon. It's an influencer's world unfortunately. It took trying out almost everything to make my way back to Nikon. The Z8 is a beast and I highly doubt I will ever need anything more. I hope Viltrox keeps putting out lenses for Z mount like the Pro series 75 & 27 f1.2. Specially for FF. I already own the Nikon 40mm f2 so I don't need that 2.5, but it's a great option for beginners that want a cheap 40mm lens. I'm gonna wait on the Z6III until demand slows down. I still want the Zf for street stuff, but it will be hard to pass on that Z6III as a backup.
Nikon is killing it for some time now, rising from the ashes like a Phoenix while Canon takes the slow boat to goofytown and Sony is asleep at the wheel.
yup, Nikon has done great things and some people are in denial.
Unfortunately it is $3400.00 here in Canada.
My sales figures already show that Nikon has well outsold Canon in total FF mirrorless cameras and lenses.
And has outsold Sony over the last few quarters.
Only because the R5 and R6ii have been out for a long time.
Only because the R5 and R6ii have been out for a long time.
When the Nikon NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens came out, Jared made a BIG DEAL about its locking position. Over and over and over, he went on about WHAT IS THIS. He was an A..H... about it. Before that he would talk about how he went about shooting and that you should do what works for you. Then he went on about Nikon and it was almost all negative all the time. Like I said before, I dropped him. I'm from Philly and was born decades before this young p....k. Also he used to go to a Camera store not far from where I once lived in Levittown Pa. What happened with that. I'll bet they got tired of him, the store is still there.
I love the locking position on that lens - it allows the kit to fit in my compact bag whereas otherwise I would need a larger bag.
Hey V! rather than sponsored by Canon, I'd say that he is biased big time - reason being in view of all the 'free gear' Canon send him every year so he can in turn distribute it to anyone as he deems fit. Of course, this creates a bias - Jared regularly posts on these so called 'school donations' or what not, from which videos he creates content etc... so one has to take all this into consideration. Nonetheless... I don't mind his opinion - as i keep in mind all the above factors.
Thanks for the shout out make sure you use my link to pre-order the Z6iii.
Sad that you had to put up with that crap.
@@athuddriver it is a sad state of affairs and when you speak up about it, people accuse you of using the race card.
No camera is going to get the AF accurate 100% of the time. Most would be happy with a 90% hit rate. If you're expecting 100% all the time you're setting yourself up for disappointment. We may come to the day when cameras can read your mind and focus exactly on the target subject or point. Considering the frame rates and file sizes/bandwidth it's amazing what all of today's digital cameras can do. Just go back 10-15 years ago and you will see how spoiled we are today.
i had hunch about gen 3 Z6 would sell out. people could not afford Z8 or Z9 since to much and people where Saving up for gen 3 Z6 since cheaper and better option for who can not afford Z8 and Z9
Most people who are interested in the Z6III are going to watch many review videos before buying the camera. You got to get Jared out of living rent free in your head.
3400$ Canadian hmmm
That Jared man is so cringe. He has this blow test, it's just...weird.
And the sniff test don't forget that...
Like your videos! But you repeated yourself 4+ times on this subject about bad opinions. Let’s all move on to photography please.
Yeah and then the z7iii will come out and then there will be a lot of 2nd hand z6iii for sale
FroKnowsNothing is the biggest AHole of Photography world. The guys skips over all the negatives of Canon and sometimes even tries to minimize that or present as features whereas with Nikon he only looks for something negatives and if he couldn't find one he fabricates one out of thin air.
Canon bought at least 3 Nikon influencers by providing free gear (nothing illegal here if no contract). Scott Kelby, Fro and Ken Rockwell.
Why did Jared not like the Z6iii? Answer, it didn't pass the "sniff test" 🙂
Youre getting ahead of yourself again, Santa. Many of those preorder could be cancelled. Sam Smith is influnecial, but he presents a bad image.
Free promotion is what you are giving that guy in Philly.
You fell for the banana in the exhaust pipe again.
Great maybe now they can afford to make their “Pro lens” in Japan now????? For f**k sake.
Most of these people never do real people photography. Otherwise they would conclude that AF is a total non issue with all current cameras. Even before expeed 7 it was a non issue. And when shooting people regularly outdoors with flashes there are real issues. TTL anyone? When working outdoors I often work between 6 EV, just by changing the location, walking 3m to a side, having and then none clouds etc ... .
Right. In real life shooting my subject is not running in out behind trees and doing all these weird movements. I hated when CZcamsrs did that and then say Nikon auto focus sucks. It’s just not realistic
@@YoHam513
I am also a professional photographer, I only photograph people, for magazines, PR, advertising, social, web etc ... .
I also find the DR range affection totally weird, in reality you use lights/flashes, diffusion to bring the DR down, otherwise it would look super weird. Ok sure as a pro ... maybe if you are just snapping around with no clue, you need this.
@@YoHam513 Yet most Ytubers don't do real LIFE type Wildlife. So most of their TESTS are wayyyyyy to easy.
People should really look for reviews from people shooting in their own genre. Wildlife and sports shooters are going to have different experiences with AI autofocus than portrait and event photographers. Most cameras are more optimized for humans anyways. I think it still makes sense to compare cameras because of this. On V's comment, you don't have to use the same lens you just compare the body and lens systems for a certain price/subject range. Like for wildlife I would compare Z9 with the 180-600 vs A1 with 200-600.
I know exactly what you mean about "that jab" CZcamsrs often do the same to Lumix cameras every year.
Unpopular opinion: the Nikon Z6 III is a fantastic camera, but aside from the partially stacked sensor, Nikon didn't innovate significantly. Nikon trying to make a big splash witj the Z6III, they actually risk cannibalizing their higher-end models by packing so many high specs into the Z6 III. These advanced features are only necessary for a small group of professionals. In reality, there are more users who would benefit from a Z6 III than a Z8 or Z9. Simply adding more specs to attract buyers can backfire because if your mid-range camera has too many high-end features, it diminishes the need for your more expensive models.
Camera brands need to strike a balance between specs and features. Sometimes, features are more critical than raw specs.
There are far more mid-range cameras sold these days than higher-end. Gaining market-share and making sales is far more important than protecting higher end models which don't sell in significant amounts comparatively speaking.
@@kbarrett1844I hear you, and I don't disagree. I just think they didn't balance it well enough. They went all specs, no features. Camera brands need to focus on features because just chasing specs is a dead end. What happens when we get 6K 120P no crop in a sub $3000 camera? We need innovation, not just specs. With the Z6 III, it's gonna be hard for anyone to want to upgrade for years, which is both good and bad. I can see Nikon having to do what Sony did after the A7SIII-just abandoning the camera to push people to buy other models.
@@kingcutttt - No arguing that we need more innovation. We did get a little of that with the Z6III. The partially stack sensor is a pretty clever idea to improve readout speed and contain costs. However, I do hear you.
Getting sales on the board is priority one for Nikon right now. Hopefully it will buy them some time to innovate more meaningfully. Would like to see them pay attention to the Z5 and do a bit more in the Zf line.
There is still a $1000 gap to the Z8 and $500 to the Zf, so I think Nikon got it about right - of course I would have liked $2200 better 😁
I also never watch him anymore
They don't "sell out". They just make more.
Z6iii will be the most sold camera ever. It has everytging, it does everything.
Not quite. It doesn't have "everything" in a technical sense (no 8k for example) but it will do what probably 80% of photographers need it to do.
@@HR-wd6cw which other camera is giving full frame 6k 12 bit raw video? For $2500 one shouldn't ask for 8k in the first place.
Who cares everyone is entitled to their opinion bias or not seems like a waste to spend half your video talking about the next guy.
JP may have said a lot of things positive about the Z6III. However he did say it is a good camera for someone Just starting out. Later he gave some doubt about its autofocus abilities. He knows he would not be believed if he outright lied, so just subtilely puts it down. The other POS (TN) is much more sneaky. Never subscribed to either of those CZcams channels, never will.
JP is an excellent photographer, but expects everyone to use a high megapixel camera with a high frame rate, instant autofocus and think like he does. That is not the thinking of an artist or creative photographer, but thinking of an arrogant, conceited, individual.
I only clicked on your video to find out what the sales figures were, but I am not going to watch 16 minutes worth of someone talking slowly and unsurely, just to find out.
ok cool, thanks for the input.
Poor IBIS, APC crop at 4k-120, and so-so autofocus. LUMIX GH7 has less compromise for video, Lumix S5IIX is a very strong compatitor too... and Sony a7SIII still a solid choice... will wait for Sony's response...
Sony and lumix raw files are poor either. Autofocus marginally betternjo tmuch to brag about
I'm sorry, but stop bashing another CZcamsr. Focus on what you do. You spent way too much time on Jared Polin !! We here to learn about camera's not CZcamsrs!
Jarrad is a d*ick. Simple and his comments are biased
And he has crappy hair.
You dont need to do a scientific test to see that the nikon cameras has significantly worse autofocus then Sony and Canon. You just need to use them…..
I would choose this camera over the Sony A7iv and R6ii. No brainer
Its only 300 dollars more to get the Canon r5. The autofocus is significantly better and its 45 mpix. Nikon has severely overpriced this camera.
The R5 has some Jello Video issues. No camera is perfect and the R5 is being discounted to make room for the R5 II. Love the Buffer depth on the Z6iii that allow has to be work $300.00 for Sports/Action Wildlife shooters. Hey if you use CF ex B cards as a wedding shooting you will not miss shots waiting for the buffer to clear.
They sold out? How many did they make? 5000? No, this is just more hype to push the camera and get people to buy sooner. The primary reason they may be warning people about being sold out / backordered is so they can at least claim they warned people, and so they don't endure the same scenario they had with the Z9 and like what Fuji has been experiencing with almost all of their products (being sold out).
(I think they may be a bit worried that if people think about it too long, they'll just get a Z8 for $3500 instead.)
I think The Z6iii has 2 years of pent up demand. That level of camera in the past was on a 2 year refresh cycle. After owning a Z6ii and a Z8. I want my backup camera to have the same focusing modes. I wonder if Nikon did not release it in May so they could build up more inventory?
It's like Nikon has hyptonized us again to buy something new because our current gear is obsolete. Great😆😆😆
It's all about raising the bar, shrinking the bank account, and maxing out the credit cards. That is the meaning of life.😅
If one can afford the $2500 Nikon Z6iii, then one can likely also afford for $1000 more, the Nikon Z8. Otherwise one really can't afford either. Nikon Rumors has reported that Nikon Japan stated exceeded Demand and patience. But the thing is production ability and how much and how long before the Next Batch. It didn't take all that long for the Nikon Z8 to be continually in STOCK and it's still a better Value then the Nikon Z6iii.
And if one can afford 2500$ and another 1000$ then he can also add another 1500$ and get the z9 and he can also keep adding more according to your logic 😂
Lol
@@jklbd4815 and if you can afford a z9 get another z9 (:
I would agree. You forgot there are some out there like me that already has the Z9 and ignored the Z8 lol... Looked at it and meh..if i didnt have the Z9 then yes. Z8 all the way. The Z6III will be perfect for me as a 2nd body and smaller form factor for travel and content creation. Nikon gave me what I needed with the Z6III. Never been excited with Nikon cameras since the Z9 announcement to be honest.
@@jklbd4815 I'd agree but I think if you look at just the performance, the Z8 is the better value. If you feel that a second CFE slot, built-in grip, GPS and NIC card are worth an extra $1500 then it might be, but if we look at the performance specs overall, the Z8 is almost a no-brainer at $3500, and almost makes the Z6 III look a little overpriced perhaps. The Canon (which was $2500 when released) is about the same but now about $1999 on sale, and more importantly, Canon may be releasing the R6 III probably sometime next year (late next year) which will up the game again. But it will probably be another 2-3 years before Nikon updates the Z6 line again (to a Z6 IV). It is a game of leap frog, but I almost think that $2500 is a bit much considering they purposely gimped the Z6 III to help differentiate it against the Z8 (ie. the "partial stacked sensor"). They could have done a fully stacked sensor at 24MP and it would still have been enough of a distinction. But "partially stacked" almost sounds like they half-assed it. And they sort of did. Not to mention a 20% increase over the Z6 II may sound good on paper, but then again, not really, when you figure the Zf which is $2000 greatly improved AF over the Z6 II (and is probably only 5-10% behind the Z6 III at least in the AF department).
Nikon claims every one of their cameras is sold out and has an unexpected demand.
so what ???
Thats because they do!
It must be hard for a manufacturer to commit hundreds of thousands of dollars to parts and production, unitl they can get an idea of sales predictons.
It’s just an old marketing tactic. Nowadays they call it FOMO, but it’s been around forever.
Jared Polin is on the supporters team.
He only supports the camera manufacturer of the day.
One time he is Nikon next he is Sony and now canon.
If Pentax has a better autofocus Mr Polin would switch in a heartbeat
Record sales or slow production?
Here we go
