Nikon say the Z6 is "perhaps the most adaptable camera we’ve ever created", and the combination of features they've packed into this mirrorless camera seems to back up that claim.
Much of the adaptability of any camera comes down to interchangeable lenses, and what they offer across the board. The Z6 is no exception, with a larger Z Mount and shorter flange focal distance allowing the renowned NIKKOR Z lenses to provide incredible sharpness and detail at any aperture, and superb results in low light.
On the Z6, a new customizable menu appears inside the viewfinder, so you can easily adjust settings such as focus modes, white balance, exposure and VR settings, without having to take your eye off the prize shot.
The new hybrid autofocus switches between autofocus modes to fine-tune the clarity of the final shot to an even greater degree. Meanwhile, light-shielding phase detection pixels are arranged to provide more accurate autofocus in dim lighting.
Vibration Reduction (VR) overcomes the "shakes", and the better the VR, the better the shot. VR in the Nikon Z6 is superior to most, and is available in whatever NIKKOR Z lens you choose, while optical and electronic VR combine for steadier video footage.
The Z6 can capture 16:9 4K UHD/30p video in full-frame. In other words, cinema-quality video footage - sharp, clean and alive with colour. You’ll feel like you've been making movies when you see the stunning results.

The Nikon Z6 is a well-built full-frame mirrorless camera that produces excellent stills and 4K video. Autofocus is reliable most of the time, including during burst shooting, though selecting a subject on which to track is clumsy. The camera's built-in image stabilization works well on native and 'classic' Nikon glass. Battery life isn't class-leading, and some improvements related to manual focus in video should be addressed, but overall Nikon has a winner in the Z6.

With the Z6, Nikon set out to beat Sony at its own mirrorless game. While it didn't quite succeed at that, it's still an impressive debut. The A7 III does have better autofocus performance and also edges the Z6 in image quality, especially in low-light situations.
Best full-frame mirrorless camera for video; In-body stabilization; Good ergonomics; Excellent images and color science; Relatively affordable compared to Z7
Mediocre autofocus subject tracking; Single card slot uses hard-to-find XQD format; Touch display doesn't flip around
While the flagship Z7 has captured the most attention, Nikon's Z6 is the more accessible of the two models due to its lower price, and it's also the better of the two models for those interested in video capture and low light AF performance.

As a long term Nikon user of over 30 years I was delighted that the old F mount lenses work perfectly on the new Z mount. I have both the new Z 24-70mF4 and 14-30m F4 which are incredibly sharp. The screen display is bright and clear and the menu system is straight forward to use.

The Nikon Z6 body excels for portraiture in an outdoor and studio setting, and is also pretty amazing as an event/wedding/nightlife camera body as well. Even with its occasionally random autofocus, the camera absolutely shines in low light settings and is definitely worth adding to your gear...
