Nikon Z Z6III 2023
A 24.5MP partially-stacked CMOS sensor and EXPEED 7 processor enable 60fps electronic bursts and 6K RAW video with markedly reduced rolling shutter. The weather-sealed body weighs just 260g, incorporating 5-axis IBIS, a 5.8M-dot EVF, and a fully articulating touchscreen. It’s best for sports and wildlife shooters relying on rapid subject-detection AF, and for video streamers leveraging 4K 120fps 10-bit Log and N-RAW output.
