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.

As a long time Nikon user, when the time came to switch to full-frame mirrorless, the logical choice was the Z6. Switching from the heavy (but wonderful) D750, the Z6 is smaller and lighter, but is packed with features (electronic viewfinder, touch screen, blazingly fast XQD card, eye and face...
I already have 3 DSLR's and thought I would give the Z6 a go, especially with the recent firmware update and price drop. Very happy with it this far and have captured some superb images on various of my 'F' mount lenses which couple to the camera without any issues vie the FTZ adapter.
Towards the end of last year, there was a bit of a flurry in camera announcements. Not surprising, considering Photokina took place in Cologne in September. What was perhaps a little bit more of a shock was Nikon's entry into the full-frame mirrorless market after what felt like years of rumours and...
Great handling; Full-frame sensor; Small and light (for full-frame
Limited system (for now; Screen doesn't fully articulate; XQD card slot
Nikon launched the Z-platform by introducing the Nikon Z6 and Z7 simultaneously. Understandably, the Z7 drew more attention due to its considerably higher-resolution and immediate comparison to the D850 reviewed here Nikon D850 which remains one of the best DSLRs on the market.

I havenat owned it long enough for a 5 rating, but what i can say is that I love most of the features that Iave explored
Quick shipping and customer service was super responsive when I called and emailed with questions about my order. Highly recommend them, especially since prices can't be beat! #sweepstakes
The Nikon Z7 exceeded our expectations and then some. Now it's time to find out if the Nikon Z6 is an amazing all-rounder. Michael Topham puts one of the first samples in the UK to the test

Excellent handling; Speedy AF
Battery life could be improved
Sony’s A7-series of full-frame mirrorless cameras caused a stir but it took until the 3rd generation for the cameras to deliver what enthusiast photographers really want. With the Nikon Z6 and Z7, however, Nikon skipped the evolution stage and introduced two cameras that hit the ground running.
Superb quality images; Excellent weather-sealing and build quality; Growing range of very high-quality lenses
Single memory card slot (XQD/CFexpress); Lacklustre battery life; No Eye AF in video
Well over £1,000 cheaper than the Z7, the Z6 is the full-frame mirrorless camera to buy. Unless you need those high-resolutions for landscape photography and very large printing. The stunning new mount has opened up a load of opportunities for astounding optics and uncompromised image quality, and Nikon have announced a whole new range of Nikkor Z lenses, so there’s no signs of slowing down. The Z6 was a joy to use and managed to do exactly what was required for the desired shot, and based on that, there’s really nothing to complain about.
