Is the Nikon Z6 III worth it?
Yes — the pick for action and video at this price.
Its partly stacked sensor makes it quick: 20 frames a second in RAW, with Nikon's flagship autofocus that keeps almost every shot sharp, even in very low light. The viewfinder is outstanding, the screen flips round for vlogging, and video goes up to 6K/60p with internal RAW. It's 24.5MP, so less detail than 33MP rivals, and no battery charger comes in the box.

How we reached this verdict
TechRadar rates it the best full-frame all-rounder, with superb autofocus, fast shooting, a class-leading viewfinder and impressive 6K video, though resolution hasn't changed and no charger is supplied. Digital Camera World gave it five stars across features and design for its partly stacked sensor, ultra-realistic OLED viewfinder and autofocus that practically sees in the dark. Tom's Guide calls it the ultimate hybrid, with great low-light performance, if pricey with fewer autofocus modes than rivals. Only a handful of verified owner reviews so far.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
