Review on Camera Nikon Z6 Body, black by Kirana ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Valuable purchase, nothing but pluses!

The camera was bought to replace the D600, bought in 2022, which, in principle, suited me with everything, except that the tight autofocus became annoying + I like to shoot on the ancient Helios and break my eyes, aiming manually, a little tired. Focus peaking in Zetka solved this problem and manual focusing is now a pleasure. Plus, the 50 1.4G I have played with new colors - on the D600, shooting with it was a real torment at an open aperture, there were a lot of misses, but now all the frames with focus are exactly where they need to be. 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 4 work great through an adapter, although ergonomics suffer a lot with them - with an adapter, the glasses are simply huge and it’s not very convenient for me to hold a relatively small camera in such cases, but I’ll probably get used to it. In principle, the impressions from the camera are only positive so far, I really want a light and light travel zoom for it, but there are none yet. However, the Z-mount is still ahead.

Pros
  • 1. Excellent autofocus. 2. In-camera stabilization - sharp photos for 1/3-1/15 sec. from 24-70 I didn’t even try to do it, but now it’s quite possible. 3. Comfortable grip, although this is very individual and not very important for me. 4. Good screen and easy to use. 5. Compatible with old DSLR batteries (D600 in my case). 6. Good picture at high ISO.
Cons
  • 1. Biting price of XQD cards. 2. A small (so far) choice of Z optics and not the most pleasant prices for it. 3. I would like to further improve the autofocus on the eyes and add autofocus on the eyes of animals - competitors can do this. 4. The screen is excellent, but I would like to see it swivel, and not just tilted.
