Our Verdict

Nikon Z 6

Nikon Z 6III

If you're looking to upgrade from the Nikon Z 6, the Nikon Z 6III is well worth considering, particularly if you're a hybrid or video shooter. It has substantial improvements over the older model, including a new partially stacked sensor, a better processor, as well as an updated autofocus system and IBIS system. It significantly outclasses the Z 6 in video features, with internal Log recording and internal RAW video in 6k at up to 60p. However, if you're primarily interested in photography, you'll likely still be satisfied with the Z 6, unless you need the faster burst rates offered by the Z 6III.
