Have loved this camera since it came out...and the firmware update that brought Eye Detection AF took it to a whole new level. Great feel in the hands. Beautiful resolution. All around 10/10 camera.

I'm a professional real estate/architectural tog. I use the Z 6 with the Z 14-30mm f4 S lens for the bulk of my work, but also use the Z 70-200mm f2.8 VR S lens for details on those shoots. It works great in low light situations, and that's exactly why I bought it. Is focus perfect? No, but it produces many more "keepers" than my D7100 with f-mount lenses, did. It also works very well for wildlife when paired to my Sigma 150-600 Contemporary lens via the FTZ adapter. Got great shots of an Osprey plucking a Trout out of a river pond a few years ago. The biggest con I have with it, is the rolling shutter affect that it produces when panning with a fast moving sports object, or wildlife object. I've learned that shooting the subject moving towards me, works best. As such, I'm looking forward to the Z 8, as it will supposedly do away with shutter roll , like in the Z 9. We'll see. Great camera, even when using older classic lenses like my nifty fifty 1.4 my Opa gave me. The focus peaking makes it much easier to use and get great images with the Z 6. Highly recommend this version, or the newer Z 6 II.

I built a six figure business on the back of this product. It's not as user friendly as the higher end products, but then its price is quite reasonable for what it is. Autofocus system is probably going to be the biggest hangup for most users. However, if you invest some time with the product, like with any tool, its pros and cons become a part of what is beautiful about your creations. I've since moved on to the Z9, but even when I do step back to the Z6 I'm always happy with the product it produces.

This kit is an ideal starter kit for performing both photo and video disciplines. All items included are well well-thought out, and you will probably save about $500 in extras if you were to buy them individually. Things that could be better: Corel software seems to have a lot of issues installing correctly, the tripod is not good for video (recommend upgrading to a fluid-head video tripod at some point.). The lens 24-70mm lens is great for medium shot work, but eventually you will need to find a nice telescopic lens (70-300mm) and something for wide. The FTZ II adapter is a great part of this package set that gives you more affordable options for lenses later. You may also want to invest in an LED lighting kit. The Z6 has great low light capability, so you can really get creative with lighting on this camera. Eventually you may prefer a better shotgun microphone. I took a chance on a Comica brand wireless microphone kit for $300, but it has worked perfectly for interviews and on-screen subjects with this camera.

I bought this Nikon Z6 as a back-up, second camera to my Z7. So far, I?m absolutely thrilled with the image quality, which is arguably better than the Z7 to my eye. It does feel slightly less responsive than the Z7, but I didn?t expect it to be a better camera overall, so I?m thrilled with how capable it is. For the price, I think it?s hard to imagine a better camera. I?ll also add that Adorama was, as always, very quick to deliver and remains my favorite service.

The perfect camera. I've been wanting mirrorless for the longest and this is exactly what i was looking for.

My very first dslr was a Canon XT gifted to me by my uncle so that i could take photos of my baby nephew, fresh off the shelf sixteen years ago and boy have we come a LONG way since then! For the last five years i?d been shooting with a D600, i got her off of amazon used for about 400 bucks with barely any actuations and i absolutely fell in love with the full frame Nikon lifestyle. It?s been a few years and I?ve come so far as an artist and a photographer, had some extra money, and made the leap to the Z6 and boy i am NOT disappointed. In fact, i think this camera and it?s features create so much less work around efficiency for me, removing so many extra steps that i hate in the photographing process (for example, snapbridge is a DREAM to me with that autosync) that i actually find myself taking more and more photos outside of just my usual portraits of friends and myself. photos are sharp and gorgeous, the colors are vibrant and i barely have to do much cleanup work in my editing stages. The camera is light, the real-time previews with your settings are almost always accurate so no need to waste actuations on testing them. It?s sturdy and just a really gorgeous unit overall. I took mermaid tank photos yesterday and ran into the problem of having TOO much light which is not a problem i?ve had before (and i?m sure folks who?ve done tank shoots can attest that?s pretty impressive). i?m currently using the FTZ II adapter with my 24mm AF-S 1.4 lens and my 85mm AF-S 1.8 lens and the auto focus is a little funky at times but it?s extremely minor to me personally, it still works well and manual focus has always been my friend when i need to switch it up quickly. Overall, if you?re thinking about it and are using an older full frame kit like i was just DO IT. I got a used one from here in E- condition and honestly there are no imperfections, the camera is perfect and had 19k actuations so you?re in the right spot!

Sleek and easy to handle. Definitely an upgrade from my D810. Easy to use with my FX lenses. Simply and quiet.

Love the camera, but very frustrating you can't save the release mode. I have to reset it every time I turn the camera on.

I bought this camera to pair it up with my z100-400 mm lens. When I hike, I am usually around or in water and I don't like changing lenses. As this is my second Z6, the camera was very familiar and works beautifully. And, with Nikon's price point it fit my budget, along with Adorama kicking in a memory card and lens bag.

This s perfect for a lot of users (like me). Do some internet reviews and see if it's for you.

Perfect step up from the entry-level D3300 I've enjoyed for years. Bundle was excellent (lacked a charging tray for the LED light battery, though. A $2.00 item.) For my purposes (serious amateur) made more sense than the Z6 ii. Use the difference in price to put toward another lens. The recent firmware upgrade helped the autofocus a lot. Not a lot of difference now between the Z6 and Z6 ii. Z6 is actually better than the Z6 ii for starfield photography. Z6 ii would be better for long burst sports stuff.

Upgraded from a Nikon D90 Camera, with the lens adapter am able to use my older Nikon lenses, works well, not tried any of the Nikon Z Lenses, so far am quite happy with my purchased, not used the camera much and am planning on using it aq lot this spring/summer in the UK

The image quality of my new Z6 is as good as any for the file size. I love the 12 frames a second

Everything looks great but unfortunately I have not been able to use it yet as the adapter (I do not have a mirrorless lens) was on backorder the last month. I hope to receive it before Christmas. I like knowing I have an extra battery and a smaller case that will fit the Z6 camera better than what I currently own.

For a ?kit lens? it is really an exceptional performer? compact, light weight, sharp and unlike most ?kit lenses? it has a constant aperture of F4! The Z6 has great color, excellent video and ergonomically feels great in the hand. The image files are easy to work with and have a wide dynamic range. Nikon has continued to develop and update the firmware so much so that the performance of the current firmware (version 3.4) makes it behave completely different from what it originally shipped with. Early on as a first generation camera it was often dismissed as it was often compared to a camera system that was in its 7th generation. Just through firmware updates Nikon has significantly improved the performance beyond reasonable expectation.

Nikon Z6 is a good camear but I think it needs improvement.

Bought this to serve as a B-Cam to my Blackmagic Pocket 6K for video and independent filmmaking, but also because I want to get more into specialized photography like sports, real estate, and landscape. I've worked with the Sonys before and originally came from Canon workflow. Sony [probably] has better options for both photo (raw latitude) and video (more low ISO ratings) individually, but they are separated out between two different camera lines. Nikon offers you an amazing option in the Z6 line. It is a beast in lowlight, now offers RAW output via HDMI, and is a great option for sport or wildlife photography. It's the most balanced option on the market, and especially excels as a B-cam in my kit.

Great camera! I upgraded from a D200, and I'm quite pleased. I was unsure if I was going to like the ergonomics of the smaller mirrorless, but it works great for me (I have small hands though). The autofocus is incredibly fast and accurate, and I love how I can download directly to my phone via SnapBridge. Only drawback is the memory cards are so expensive, but a necessary expense for the mirrorless technology.

The camera is wonderful! I upgraded from a D200, and I am amazed by the difference. The autofocus is really fast, and the low-light capability is incredible. There's very little noise even at higher ISOs. As expected, the battery life isn't that great because of the digital viewfinder. The included camera bag is a nice idea, but it's a little small. Along with the camera, it could possibly only fit a prime lens, if that. A more practical addition to this package would be a second battery. As expected, the battery life isn't great because of the electronic viewfinder.

I am so impressed at how it works specially the WYSIWYG that I get so used to it that I now have to adjust how I shoot when I use my Nikon DSLR.
