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.

Extremely low noise; Excellent metering; Effecive 5-Axis Image Stabilization; Good colors accuracy; Reliable Automatic White-Balance; Highly sensitive AF; Quick 273-Point AF; Very responsive; Ultra-Sharp EVF; Natural EVF contrast; Solid build quality

Shallow Buffer-Depth; Poor EC button location; Poor Continuous AF; Artifacts from built-in Phase-Detect pixels; Not Exposure-Priority; Occasionally incorrect WB preview; Bizarre Auto ISO; Very short battey-life

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

Finally, a top-notch and reasonably sized mirrorless camera from indisputable optical experts - Nikon

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.
