Chelsea & Tony Northrup review three full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras in the $2000-$2500 range: the brand new Nikon Z6 III, the 3-year old Sony a7 III, and the 2-year old Canon EOS R6 II. The professional photographers compare the cameras for general photography, portraits, video, sports, travel, sensor stabilization (IBIS), dynamic range, megapixels, and Wi-Fi app performance.

Your comparing and brand new, firmware 1.0 Nikon to two very established Sony and Canon models that have had several firmware updates. Not a true apples-to-apples review.
@ 10:05 it says Canon R6 III priced at $1999. Hmmm
Why do I always feel that when Tony and Chelsea do a video about cameras, they almost make it seem like no camera is worth our money. Everything is pathetic according to them. Here I am happy and completely satisfied with my Fuji XT4.
Bluetooth button on all tech to quote Reagan" like its the day before yesterday!! "bandwidth speed improvements ditto am so over turning the damm thing on off in menus or just let it chew up battery?
Tony, your Nikon 60 frames/second vs. Sony 10 frames/second autofocus test is wrong – you should have used the same speed for all cameras. If Sony was slowest at 10 frames per second but highest for 'in focus' rate then you should use the same speed for Canon and Nikon to have apples to apples comparison. Also, other condition / setting should be the same, and If you set Nikon shutter 'focus' release at 10 frames / second, I am sure 'in focus' rate would greatly improve.
I would match the fps to see the hit rate. Obviously, 60fps will have less time to AF than 10 fps.
Rolling shutter makes 7A IV useless for video. Nikon‘s videos suffer from oldfashioned microphone preamp, still causing annoying audio noise while recording
Thanks for the great review!!!
🤔 Yes, the NIKON Z6 III is a true problem for Nikon now. They are now stuck with an under-performer for 4 years, until 2028! Given that Nikon's market share is already critically low (13% last year, worldwide, for mirrorless system cameras), I believe that the Z6 III (representing the market-share-critical middle class) will pull Nikon below the 10% mark. That's leading right into Pentax' market share territory back in the DSLR era?
I think your conclusion would have been better served to match your analysis. The Sony system at this mid tier range is head and shoulders above the competition, in most circumstances except very fast moving subjects. But can still do 80% of sports and wildlife scenarios so it is the most logical choice. 🤷♂️
Maybe you should not underexpose that much, and try ettl, that helps a lot 😂. Your autofocus test aren’t reliable and reproducable so no science in it. More and more you’re just a rumor channel …
Bast review ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The more you abuse Nikon Z6 III their sales will increase 😅
These videos of yours clearly shows you want to promote Sony and everyone understands it 😂😂
Always feels ashame that you fail to include Lumix in these tests. They are a viable market option. I'm sure your reasoning is their small market share, but companies like Sony grew partially from review coverage found here on YouTube. Eh, it just seems odd to me. ✌️
Why are people so obsessed with HDR video uploads ?
Odd you do not mention Nikons strengths like the refresh rate. I'm a Sony shooter but the A7iv's silent mode is unusable in a lot of situations like indoors under lights and with anything moving. Your extremely low hit rate on the eye with the Nikon makes me think you have it set wrong or you have a bad copy. I played with a Z8 and Z7 and both would have higher scores than you are giving the Z6III for eye Af in portraits.
At 3.56mins you say with the Sony A7iv in 60fps that there is a APSC crop and that means worse lowlight performance, how?? considering that it's a full frame sensor with large light gathering pixels and you are only cropping into the middle of the sensor not making the pixels smaller as in an ASPC sized sensor with smaller light gathering pixels. The pixels don't change size just because you crop to APSC for video in camera.
Very helpful review, thanks. We're living in a golden age for photography gear as there aren't really any truly bad cameras anymore.
For me the Nikon D750
You want the better A7IV buy the A7CII better autofocus (magic) smaller and lighter.
Nikon fanbois enraged cos they have the worst dynamic range of the 3 despite being the newest entry in the market 😂
Why was the LUMIX S5II/S5II X excluded from this review?
Hi, your videos are awesome, I wonder if you can compare Canon R8 with budget lenses to Sony a6700 with best possible glass, sharpness, image quality, low light, performance, heating, battery, etc. Because these two cameras are comparable by price. Sony has best glass for apsc but canon don't. But Canon has R8 with APSC price and sony don't.
Something is seriously flawed with this test. I am shooting Nikon z6iii now I almost never get out of focus shots even when people are moving fast, etc, even at extreme darkness. Also Nikon is slow at getting the face in focus, wtf, it finds a face in pics darkenss even If the face is covering an extremely small portion of the frame, or even if the person is not looking in the camera, so you see only the back of the head. The noise is maybe a bit worse at 100 iso, but its fine noise which can be easily corrected in post, at higher iso settings its the same. Especially against the sun portraits with z6iii are way easier at af works amazing. Z6ii had issues with this.
Hey, thank you again for exposing how bad nikons camera are, you are the only channel who tell the truth about nikon cameras, you show how everything on the camera is under par, there is nothing on the camera which is any good. Please keep it up so you can bring nikon to bankruptcy, I have faith in you Tony
Tony: Dinamic range is the ability to lift up shadows??? Really?? Isn’t the range between highlights and shadows?
Great review! Nikon definitely not recommended in 2024.
Not enough emphasis put on lens lineup, imho.
Isn’t it interesting, that the good old A7IV, with it’s last gen af-system ist still the one to beat?!
I was a bit surprised, how good it performed comapred with it’s new competitors.
At the end it doesn’t matter what you buy, they’re all great.
I got very excited when your video showed the Canon R6 Mk III available for $1999 (3:14).
99/100 you tube reviews say z6iii is game changer ……… Northrups fall out with Nikon and then dis it – quele surprise…
Why they are struggling on Focus while my Z5 I can nail focus almost every time until it is very dark
For 60 shots even having 20% keeping rate is better than 10 shots with 100% keeping rate. I couldn’t understand where is the worry from.
If only canon or nikon had lenses that I want
3:16 canon R6 MkIII confirmed?
Okay listen I'm going to tell you one thing about adorom. Don't buy used gear I bought a sigma lens and when I change the aperture on it it actually comes loose from the camera it tells me there's a lens correction I also about. I also tried to buy an extra battery for my 80D when they sent a battery worser than within the camera. I did order the 90 d from them and the 90D did malfunction The end of having to put insurance on it just to send it to the shop The battery grip and the heavy lens with glitch out these things I really didn't understand. After the screen started malfunctioning I just put the insurance on it the care pack I bought body only because I already had a few lenses so I just had to send the body in I'm not for sure what the mirror boxes but the mirror box is malfunctioning and they regrip it they put a new back on it if I didn't have the serial numbers to it I swear they sent me a new camera but I do want to say thanks Cannon care and for taking care of my 90 d and if you ever have a Canon and you need it taken care of get the insurance because it's very worth it you never know when your camera might malfunction now this is a well I paid over $1,200 for this 90D in a malfunction within 3 months and I was upset. I got it fixed and it's working fine I can put heavy lenses on it with the battery grip lift it up in the sky and it doesn't glitch out.but my sigma lens that they sent me I probably have to call sigma to get fix. Sometimes use gear can be flustrating
I got a question would it make the big difference if you shooting 4K on a crop sensor camera versus a full frame camera?
