What do you think about the new Z6 III features? The pre-release capture looks really interesting. I use Live Photos on my iPhone every so often to reselect the key photo. It doesn’t look like there’s an option to create gifs in camera from the pre-release capture photos. But I bet third party apps should be available.

Starting to wonder if it's time to update my gear. D500 hold out here. Does Z6iii fit? What I keep wondering about is whether 24mpx is enough. Shall I wait for a z7iii or not, is it worth it.

It depends on what you need. 24Mp is plenty for my needs and higher pixel count than d500. The Z6 III is slightly smaller and lighter. Definitely an upgrade in all features.

Are all your lenses DX format? If so, you’ll need to get new lenses as well.

Yes, I am a DX refugee. The D500 served me very well all these years but I feel it's time to go full frame. This third gen from Nikon will probably be the one I will go for. I have used DX since the d90 days. I thought the next gen will give me not only the new tech and full frame but also in step up in pixels. I do tend to take a lot of urban pics. To your point I was also hoping for a truly compact/lightweight prosumer full frame mirrorless from Nikon.

When I had a DX camera, I sometimes felt a 35mm lens was too tight for urban photography and I didn’t have anything shorter. My Z6 with the 24-70mm is perfect. And the larger pixels on a full frame will give you better dynamic range.

Are you pre-ordering or waiting for Black Friday sale?

[–] lecoban 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Aiming for black Friday! No rush. Let's see what the new owners report from the field over the next few months. The new z6 certainly looks solid, like the d500 in its day.

Same here. Looking forward to the reviews.
