The Z6 lacks dual card slots, which was a big deal to me. The Z6 saves your settings for you (no need to reset from scratch if you switch from one mode to the other.) Switch from video to stills with ease with separate ‘i’ menus. By adding the 2 slot Nikon MB-N10 Multi-Battery Power Pack ($197), you increase battery life by 180%, and get an added grip to boot. Mirrorless cameras are hard on batteries because of their electronic viewfinders. The Z6 features both built-in WiFi and Bluetooth Low Energy for smooth image transfer to your devices. The app also lets you use your smart device as a remote trigger. Nikon’s free Snapbridge app allows for automatic image transfer from your Z6 camera to a compatible smart device. If you use the Z6 with F-mount lenses, you’ll get 3-axis image stabilization (or in Nikon speak, vibration reduction.) You can feel confident you can take this bad-boy into extreme conditions and it will hold up just fine.Ī nice feature of the Z6 is the 5-axis in-body image stabilization. The magnesium alloy body of the Z6 is weather sealed against moisture and dust. One exception is the FN button on the Z6 can be hard to reach for those with smaller hands. If you shoot Nikon, you’ll find the buttons and dials in the same familiar places on the Z6. It weighs in at a mere 675g with battery (1.49 lbs.) This is even lighter than Nikon’s top-of-the-line crop sensor DLSR, the D7500. If you’re used to the weight of a big full-frame like the Nikon D850, you’re in for a treat with the Z6. The Z6 just plain feels good in your hand, with a deep grip and balanced design. The camera features a 273 point on-sensor PDAF (phase detection autofocus) that covers 90% of the frame. Wildlife photographers will love this feature. Not only will the Z6 lock on your furry friend’s eye when shooting stills, it detects dog and cat faces in video, too. Shooting at this speed can produce ugly banding.Ī recent addition to the Z6 is Animal Detection AF to the Z6. You can shoot at a fast 12 fps in extended mode with the Z6, but beware. When I tested the camera, I really didn't look at this at all. This Nikon mirrorless also features an OLED panel on the top of the camera that displays your current shooting settings. The LCD display on the back of the camera is no slouch either – it’s bright display and true-to-life colors won’t steer you wrong whether you’re shooting stills or video. The Z6 boasts one of the best electronic viewfinders on the market, with 3.68M-dot resolution and 80x magnification. To change your focus points, you must use the joystick on the back of the Z6. If you’re a Canon or Sony user, you’ll feel frustrated by the Z6 because you can’t drag your focus points around on the touchscreen. Some users may complain that the touchscreen doesn’t tilt to a full 90°, but it’s not a serious limitation for most users. The Z6 has a tilting 3.2″, 2.1M-dot touchscreen LCD.
