Nikon's Z6 III is a fast full-frame hybrid with a superb viewfinder and 6K RAW video.

Buying call

Buy the Z6 III if you want one of the best all-round full-frame cameras: reviewers praised its excellent 3D tracking autofocus, very fast shutter and burst rates, ultra-bright OLED viewfinder, first-in-line vari-angle screen, weather-sealed magnesium body and strong video specs. Skip it if you want more resolution, because it stays at 24MP, and dynamic range trails some rivals. Battery life is mediocre, there's no charger in the box, and it doesn't fit the old battery grip.
