Nikon Z6 Review | Trusted Reviews

Nikon Z6 review: This full-frame mirrorless all-rounder combines DSLR-like handling with superb picture quality. It's one of the best cameras you can buy...

Fantastic handling ; Excellent electronic viewfinder ; Great in low light ; In-body image stabilisation good for handheld shooting ; Intuitive touchscreen interface

Only three native lenses at launch ; Screen only tilts (rather than fully articulates) ; Battery life limited compared to a DSLR ; Just one XQD card slot

Nikon Z6 review

We had to wait a little longer for the Nikon Z6 to arrive than the Nikon Z7 , but it's this camera that perhaps has the broader appeal of Nikon's two full-frame mirrorless models, particularly among enthusiast photographers. Nikon is adopting a...

High-resolution EVF 12fps burst shooting Familiar and refined handling Touchscreen interface 4K video capture 5-axis IS system

XQD card format has limited support Limited dedicated lens range (for now) Limited buffer depth

Nikon certainly hasn't held back with the Z6, and any worries that it would miss the mark are dispelled as soon as you pick it up. Until now we'd have had little hesitation in recommending Sony's Alpha A7 III if you were in the market for a...

Nikon Z6 review: Fabulous full-framer

The lower-resolution full-frame mirrorless of Nikon's two debut Z series cameras is a well-built, capable camera with superb image quality potential.

Great image quality ; Huge potential from new Z mount lenses ; Adapter for old lenses ; Ease of use for existing Nikon users ; Fast autofocus/burst mode (12fps) ; Silent shooting possible ; Electronic viewfinder is of great quality and scale ; Highly...

Single XQD card slot an odd choice ; 24-70mm f/4 lens vignettes a little ; DSLR continuous AF still has the edge ; Not a full vari-angle screen (tilt only) ; Better battery life would be great ; No EyeAF autofocus ; It’s rather expensive

Arguably the most well considered and capable of any full-frame mirrorless camera on the market. Nikon has got the lens mount right, the quality right and, despite strong competition from Sony's well-established range and Panasonic's forthcoming S1, we...

Nikon Z6 review: The ultimate all-round full-frame powerhouse

Nikon's "mainstream" mirrorless model ticks all the right boxes – and then some

12fps shooting ; Excellent viewfinder and screen combo ; Great handling

Fairly expensive ; Single XQD card slot ; Limited system (for now)

There are a couple of drawbacks to consider – such as limited battery life and a single XQD card – but, overall, the Z6 is a very capable and extremely desirable camera.

Nikon Z6 Review

Nikon's new full-frame mirrorless cameras give you two options, here we're looking at the 24mp full-frame mirrorless camera, the Nikon Z6, with high-speed shooting.

You could look at the Nikon Z6 as an upgrade or replacement for the 24mp Nikon D750 , however, with 12fps continuous shooting, it offers speeds nearer to the Nikon D5 (with 12fps or 14fps with mirror up), and more focus points (273 vs 51 and 153...
