Nikon Z6 Mirrorless
Full-Frame CameraProduct Gallery
Product Overview
Nikon Z6 is a premium mirrorless camera in the Nikon Z-mount system. Introduced by Nikon in 2018, it comes with a full-frame sensor with 25 MP (6048 x 4024) resolution and a 3.69 million-dot EVF.
The camera has a poor battery life, and a second or third battery may be needed to get you through the day. The 12.0 fps burst rate serves enthusiasts well enough, though some professionals may find it limiting.
The Nikon Z6 comes with 273 autofocus points. Those who intend to use the Nikon Z6 for video work will be glad to find that the camera comes with 5 stops of IBIS.

Reviewer score 74% (normalized by Neofiliac) Nikon appears to have successfully matched most of Sony’s key features but not taken a decisive lead. The Z6 fights back with a potentially faster XQD slot, 10 bit 4k over HDMI, a more detailed viewfinder and larger screen, n interval timer and timelapse video features. But for anyone building a new system from scratch, the Sony A7 III remains a highly compelling alternative with an established collection of high quality lenses.
Pros
- Faster than the A7 III
- Faster AF and burst shooting
- 10 bit 4k over HDMI
- More detailed viewfinder and larger screen
Cons
- No backlit buttons
- Only three lenses at launch

Reviewer score 81% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Z 6 doesn't have the same level of detail that the pricier Z 7 offers, but photos are still excellent. The in-body stabilization breathes new life into Nikon's F-Mount lenses when used with the FTZ adapter. The autofocus isn't quite as capable as a high-end DSLR's in the most trying scenarios.
Pros
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent low-light performance
- In-body stabilization
- Improved video mode
Cons
- Limited to 8-bit video

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nikon Z 6 isn't a perfect camera, but along with the Z 7, it represents a very strong first effort. The body feels polished and thought out, and it's built to Nikon's normally high standards. Image quality is right up there with the best competitors, and the sensor stabilization is a boon for any attached lens.
Pros
- Excellent image quality
- Excellent autofocus
- 4K video
- 5-axis stabilization
- Dust and splash protection
Cons
- No optical low pass filter
- Fingerprint sensor

Reviewer score 48% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nikon Z6 is good for travel photography. It has excellent image quality, so your photos are sharp and detailed. Its superb autofocus feature helps keep moving subjects in focus. This camera is well-built and easy-to-use, but it's a bit heavy.
Pros
- Incredible image quality
- Excellent autofocus performance
- Incredible photo quality, especially in 4k and FHD
- Exceptional image quality, particularly in 4K and fHD. Incredible autofocusing performance.
Cons
- Not very portable
- Tilting screen can't be flipped to point forward so you can see yourself while you're recording. No tilting screen
- Not terribly portable

Reviewer score 83% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nikon Z 6 is one of the best full-frame cameras on the market. It has 24 megapixels, making it a better choice for those who like to shoot fast-moving subjects. The Z 6 offers 4K video recording at 3840 x 2160, in frame rates of 30p, 25p and 24p. It offers a 273-point hybrid AF system, but is bested by the Z 7's 493-point system.
Pros
- Excellent image quality
- Inbuilt image stabilisation
- Fast autofocusing
Cons
- No 4K video recording
- No XQD card
techradar[6]
Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)The Nikon Z6 and Z7 are Nikon's new full-frame mirrorless cameras. The Z6 features a new Z lens mount, which is 11mm wider than the F mount. This allows for lenses with maximum apertures as fast as f/0.95. There's a 3.2-inch tilt-angle touchscreen with a 2,100,000-dot resolution.
Pros
- Compact design
- Fast AF speed
- Good battery life
Cons
- Limited XQD card slots
- SnapBridge image transfer system is clunky
