Amazing Low Light Capabilities, and TACK Sharp!
I'm a former press photographer on the red carpets at Hollywood's biggest events. Doing event coverage means you are in constantly different lighting situations, and low light in night clubs and at concerts has always been an issue. Today I photograph set still and publicity photos for movies. Being mirrorless, a sound blimp to silence the camera noise is no longer required. Neither are the sticks that were needed to hold the camera when fitted with a blimp. Today, after capturing the requir...

Great upgrade
I bought a Z6 and upgraded from a D5300 and what an upgrade it was! The Z6 is rugged and as close to being ergonomically perfect as a camera can get. The controls are placed exactly where you need them. The viewfinder is crisp and gives an excellent preview of your photo. I bought the 24-70 f2.8 (which takes beautiful shots) but, with the included adapter, I can also use my Nikon legacy lenses without any issues. I seriously looked at the Sony a7iii but glad I stuck with Nikon.

The Nikon Z6 Filmmaker’s Kit includes the following accessories to get you started: the FTZ Mount Adapter that expands the number of compatible F-mount lenses, the 5” Atomos Ninja V touchscreen video recording monitor that you can mount on top of your camera for higher-resolution video playback, the Moza Air 2 3-axis handheld camera gimbal for incredibly smooth video capture, and the Rode VideoMic Pro Plus for capturing professional-quality audio.
Welcome to a New Era of Nikon Imaging
ALC: Hands-On Review with Tamara Lackey: Testing the New Nikon Mirrorless System
I was lucky enough to spend a full week shooting nearly non-stop with the new Nikon mirrorless system. I may have stopped for sleep a bit, but otherwise, I was able to shoot in multiple regions throughout the Yucatan Peninsula and then flew a few hours up north with our crew to Guanajuato, Mexico. And then I shot a whole lot more. I was able to put the new system through the paces — shooting in large, rainforest-like sinkholes, in pitch-dark caves, at pink lagoons, above colorful landscapes, and in and above the streets of a large, sprawling city.
My first impression of the new system is pretty straightforward: It’s just extraordinary.

A system born from an unending quest for perfection.
A system that opens a new dimension of possibilities. A system inspired by the past but designed for tomorrow. A system only Nikon could create.
Feel & Handling
Proven form factor
Inspired by D850, Z series cameras embody the elegance, durability, handling and operation of award-winning Nikon DSLRs—just in a smaller package.
A mirrorless you can hold
A large, deep grip for balanced handling, even when using large telephoto F-Mount Nikkor lenses. Comfortable ergonomics, thoughtful button placement and an easy to use GUI.
The Nikkor legacy continues
The front line of the imaging revolution
Meet the first in a new generation of Nikkor lenses. Designed around the new larger Z Mount and beautifully matched to Z series cameras, Nikkor Z lenses embody the ultimate in image quality with near-silent operation—all in a smaller, lighter package.

Innovation
The most advanced imaging system available
The technology may be all new, but the ingenuity is all Nikon.
Full Frame brilliance
At the heart of Z series cameras are FX-format image sensors designed by Nikon to make full use of the extra light provided by the large Z Mount.
Brains and beauty
EXPEED 6, the most advanced Nikon image processing yet, powers breathtaking image quality, liberating low-light performance and versatile video capabilities.
Rock-steady with any lens
A 5-axis optical VR system is built right into Z series cameras for up to 5 stops* of image stabilization when using Nikkor Z lenses and up to 3-axis VR when using F-Mount Nikkor lenses**. Additional electronic VR (e-VR) can be combined during video capture.
*Based on CIPA Standards. This value is achieved when the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens is attached, with zoom set at the maximum telephoto position. **Full AF/AE supported when using FX or DX AF-S Type G/D/E, AF-P type G/E, AF-I type D and AF-S / AF-I Teleconverters

Let there be more light
New Z Mount - 17% Wider with 65% slimmer flange*
The largest full-frame mount on any camera system. At 55mm, it’s the largest full-frame mount on any camera system**, allowing more of everything: more light capture, more data sharing between lens and camera and more image quality performance.
And by seemingly breaking the laws of optics with just 16mm of flange distance, Nikon can now deliver smaller and lighter cameras and lens designs impossible in any other mirrorless system.

All-around amazing
Adaptability. It's about remaining fluid, open. Preparing for nothing, but being ready for anything. Thriving in whatever situation comes along. The Z 6 is perhaps the most adaptable camera we've ever created. It's at the sweet spot of speed, resolution and low-light performance. All combined with the advantages of a lightweight mirrorless design, a revolutionary new full-frame lens mount with matched lenses and seamless integration with Nikon's DSLR system-including the F-Mount NIKKOR lenses you love. This is mirrorless versatility as only Nikon could create.
At home in your hands
A deep grip design and balanced weight feel great with both NIKKOR Z and F-Mount NIKKOR lenses with the Mount Adapter FTZ. Buttons and dials are comfortably placed-features like the sub-selector and AF-On button are in the same position as the D850. Unmistakably Nikon.
Big performance. Small footprint
One of the major benefits of the Z 6's thin 16mm flange back distance is that cameras can be made smaller and lighter The Z 6 is smaller and lighter than the D750, yet it maintains outstanding handling and balance, even when using telephoto F-Mount NIKKOR lenses. It's as comfortable to carry as it is to shoot with.
Flagship Nikon durability
A skeleton forged from ultra-strong Magnesium Alloy, the same material used in the D850 and D5 for its extreme durability and incredible strength-to-weight ratio. The same brake mechanism and shutter blade material used in the D850. tested for 200,000 cycles while actually loaded in the camera. The Z 6 is ready for the field.
New NIKKOR Z Lenses
The next generation of NIKKOR glass
Empowered by the larger Z Mount and shorter 16mm flange focal distance, NIKKOR Z lenses gather more light and break traditional rules of the "sweet spot". Forget about stopping down for maximum sharpness-NIKKOR Z are at their best and deliver corner-to-corner sharpness even at their widest aperture.
Legendary F-Mount NIKKOR Lenses
Greater performance from the lenses you love
When used with the optional Mount Adapter FTZ, more than 90 F-Mount NIKKOR lenses maintain all of their sharpness, resolving power and functionality and gain the advantages of the Z 6's in-body VR, silent shooting, PDAF focusing system, 4K video and more. Approximately 360 F-Mount NIKKOR lenses can be used. Compatibility as only Nikon can deliver.
273-Point On-Sensor PDAF
273 on-sensor AF points cover 90% of the frame (approx.) horizontally and vertically. Subjects are acquired quickly when they enter the frame and tracked throughout the frame, even to the far edges.
New Hybrid Autofocus
Using an AF algorithm optimized for its FX-format sensor, Z 6 automatically switches between focal-plane phase-detect AF and contrast-detect AF to fine-tune focus. The light-shielding phase detection pixels are carefully arranged on the sensor to preserve light, ensuring accurate AF even in dim lighting.
New Subject Tracking
Whether shooting eye-level with the EVF or in Live View with the LCD, Auto Area AF smoothly tracks your subject's face-even when it's one among many. The system pays attention to the upper body, too, maintaining focus position when your subject briefly turns away from the camera or moves out of view.
New 3.6m-Dot Quad VGA Viewfinder
Oh, what a view
Take an ultra-high resolution QUAD VGA display, add Nikon optics for magnification, including Aspherical lens elements and Fluorine coating and you've got an EVF experience unlike any before it. Minimal lag and blackout, 100% frame coverage (approx.), corner-to-corner clarity and sharp magnification. It has the feel of an optical viewfinder and you can use it for both stills and videos.
New Icon-Driven Info Display
Keep your eye on the prize
All relevant info is displayed out of the way and is easy on the eyes. A new customizable menu appears right inside the viewfinder, so you can quickly adjust settings without ever taking your eye off the shot. Focus modes, white balance, exposure, VR settings, Picture Controls and more-all within eye's reach. Preview exposure and white balance changes, image stabilization and depth-of-field in real time. You can even review the photo or video you just shot.
Up to 5 Stops of VR Image Stabilization
Powerful in-body 5-axis VR image stabilization is applied to whatever NIKKOR Z lens you're using. Up to five stops of image stabilization in up to five directions-yaw, pitch, roll, X and Y. During video recording, optical VR is combined with electronic VR (e-VR) for even steadier shots. Normal VR mode for static subjects. Sports VR for moving subjects.
VR For F-Mount NIKKOR Lenses
For the first time, F-Mount NIKKOR lenses like the AF-S NIKKOR 105mm f/1.4E ED or AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED can benefit from in-body3-axis VR. NIKKOR lenses that already have VR, like the AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR, get the added benefit of roll axis for a total of 3-axis VR. Just add the optional Mount Adapter FTZ and you're good to go.
Full Frame 4K Ultra HD
Amazing productions start here
Capture cinematic 16:9 4K UHD/30p video in full-frame using the total width and resolution of the Z 6's backside-illuminated sensor. Full-pixel readout for sharper 4K footage with rich information equivalent to 6K. Clean output at high ISO. Zero crop factor with full-frame NIKKOR Z and F-Mount NIKKOR lenses. Focus Peaking in both 4K and 1080p recording. Simultaneous 8MP stills. This is 4K as it was meant to be.
4K Time-Lapse
Travel through time
Shoot up to 9,999 full resolution stills using Interval Timer (and zero shutter vibration), then combine them into one 4K movie with 3rd party software. Or create time-lapse sequences right in the camera with exposure smoothing and extended low-light metering range-great for star trails and light painting.
New N-Log With View Assist
Maximum detail, viewable in-camera
N-LOG format preserves more detail, up to 12 stops of dynamic range, shadows and highlights to make color grading more precise in post. For easier spot checking of focus and exposure, the new View Assist function displays simple gradation compensation, highly useful for confirming the final look of the footage.
Slow Motion Videos
Capture every detail of movement with 120 FPS. Then play them back at 30, 25 or 24 FPS for jaw-dropping, fluid slow motion in 1080p High Definition.
Four AF-Area Modes
Four AF-area modes for videos: Single-Point AF, Wide-Area AF (S or L) and Auto-Area AF. Seamless automatic switching between Phase Detect and Contrast Detect AF based on the situation. Mimic focus pulling techniques by controlling when AF starts and stops in AF-C mode using AF speed and AF tracking sensitivity options.
New Built-In Time-Code
All of your Z 6 footage can be time-coded in-camera for easier synchronizing and logging, especially when editing shots from multi-camera shoots.
New 10-Bit HDMI Output
What's the difference between 8-bit and 10-bit recording? Only about 1 billion more colors (64X more data)-so much more flexibility in post-processing. Record directly to an optional external recorder with 10-bit output via HDMI, the industry standard. Simultaneously record uncompressed 8-bit 4K UHD movie files to the memory card and an external recorder. (Atomos Open Protocol supported for syncing start/stop.)
Smooth, Quiet AF
The speed, smoothness and accuracy of the Z 6's AF system is ideal for video. It's virtually silent, very little chance it will be picked up by an external mic. When used with NIKKOR Z lenses, "breathing" and "wobbling" are all but eliminated. You can even touch to focus using the LCD for fast transitions between subjects.
New Z Mount
17% larger internal diameter than Nikon's acclaimed F Mount. Wider than any full-frame mount available. It totally changes what's possible with lens design. Enhanced low-light performance. Even illumination from corner-to-corner. Maximum apertures as wide as f/0.95. Faster data transfer between camera and lens. This is the ideal balance between mount diameter, large image sensor and flange focal distance.
12 FPS Shooting
Built for speed
Shoot up to 12 FPS at full resolution in Hi+ mode (12-bit RAW or JPEG) without the need for an external battery pack. When speed matters-and it always matters-you'll catch the shots others might miss.
ISO 51,200 (Expandable to 204,800)
The Z 6's 24.5MP image sensor along with the Z Mount's light gathering potential and flawless EXPEED 6 noise reduction free you to capture beautiful photos and videos at extremely high ISO settings-up to ISO 51,200 (expandable to ISO 204,800).
Silent Mode
A great advantage of a mirrorless design is the ability to shoot in near silence. Quietly capture important moments during recitals, weddings, newborn photography anywhere silence is golden.
