Should be great for it

@@WILDALASKA Thank you

👍

in mechanical shutter it should be

@@WILDALASKA Thank You. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am working on a video centric video about the Z6 III now. But yes the tracking in both is very good on BIF. It will include just that question. All the video in the review for AF of the birds was recorded on the Z6 III

👍

Thanks for the sub!

A bit. That is the one drawback of any 24mp camera for wildlife. You just have to rethink things when you can get close enough

You can see in the EVF footage other arctic terns that fly by the one tracked and it sticks pretty good. You can also set the amount of stickiness for switching to another subject more or less in the settings.

MP. The Z7 is a higher mp mid level camera. Im not sure where the Z7 series sits now in the range with the Z8 out unless the Z7 comes in @ 60+ MP.

@@WILDALASKA Scott the reason I asked this question I have a good friend that's a Nikon user she wants to know would it be better to get the Z6 III that you just tested or would it be better to get the Z7 she's been asking me that less couple days can you please let me know which would be the better camera for doing birds .

@@garymeredith2441 If you need to crop then z7. if not then the z6III has much better af and almost no rolling shutter in high speed shots.

You can. But over the years I never use it. I just use the as I lift the lens (if I was focused a farther or shorter distance from the subject Tim about to shoot) I just hit the single point which pops to the ground to bring the focus point back to me.

Different cameras, Insta360 go 3s, dii pocket 3, iPhone, sony ZV-E1. I noticed in that sever wind portion a pieces of cottonwood fly by my face and I saw the focus blipped. The Z6 III only filmed the birds not me.

Completely different focusing systems. But yes you still needed to have the focus closer to your subject for success. Just a different approach after you got it close.

Ok for the big hand thing, whichever camera you buy get a battery grip which makes it feel better in the hand and doubles the battery life. Next, if you are shooting very few smalls ( finches, sparrows, etc) then the Z6 III is great, but if you are shooting smalls the Z8 will be better.

Hey, thanks!

Glad I could help

Our pleasure!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks. The dynamic range is fine on the Z6 III. If we are needing more than it currently has, then need to get it better in camera first. I think that's where I fall with most of the dynamic range discussions anymore. The cameras all do more than we need already in that regard especially if we get it right in the field.

thanks

Great to hear!

Glad to help!

Glad I could help!

Thanks for watching!

Good advice. I am going to be testing the 28-400 this week and I will be doing a video with the EF 500 F4 mKII and the EF 70-200 MKIII for sure with the camera.

Glad it was helpful!

@@WILDALASKA It was. I'm still using my old Z6 but I've missed so many great shots due to its outdated autofocus system that I can't wait to get this one asap. I'm sure this one is the one ;-)

Thanks, you too!

🤷‍♂️

​@WILDALASKA z6iii probably has an improved bird autofocus. Also remember this is a 24mp camera so you'll have to compare it to the Z9 cropped AF. From what I heard, it is amazing.

@@mlai2546 IMHO, the Z8/Z9, which I own both, AF's better in crop mode for wildlife/sports action. The more you can fill the frame with the subject, the better. Those camera's don't seem to care about having less AF points like back in the DSLR days.

@free-qe6wx hi that's exactly what I mean. Having fewer autofocus points to go through eases the processor load and hence all processor power can be used on AF tracking.

Thanks. Im plan on a low light video but here in Alaska there's almost 20 hours of daylight. Going to be a challenge lol. And yes the stabiliization in video with a Nikon Z lens is fantastic. All the video in this review was handheld. Even the swans with the 1.4TC attached.

Congrats!!🎉

I haven't checked for the the thicker lines. That's an interesting tip for focus but I find it just as easy to tap the single point as I raise the lens as my finger is already there vs finding the button on the lens.

@@WILDALASKA Sorry, but what do you mean by "tap the single point"? I assume you have a front button programmed to this on your Z6III? Thanks for making this video with your findings btw. I'm more inclined to invest in a birding lens for my Z6III now.

@@kjltube Here'd the setup video ruclips.net/video/s_6axaCCTUU/видео.html So the concept is we have one button for single point focus the photographers designates and another button for subject detect. You use the single point to get close or on your subject and then hit the af-on for subject detect to lock in cases where the lock doesn't just jump to the subject

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks

Cool, thanks!

Thanks

Im curious about why no crop camera yet myself.

I’m not sure Nikon sold as many D500s as some may think. It was an amazing camera, and people who owned it seem to love it, but it’s worth noting Nikon discontinued it a while ago, even though both the D7500 and D850 (cameras that use the same sensor / AF system) are still being manufactured. If I had the money, I would just buy a Z8 and use it in DX mode..

I am not really sure what you mean by "D500 magic." Nikon stated on several occasions that the D500 was a flop. I had never seen a camera flood eBay so quickly and so much after its launch as the D500. It got mega hyped on YT, a small number of people bought it, and most of those people dumped it on eBay inside a year. By contrast, the Z6, a similar priced camera, with almost no native lenses available at that time, outsold the D500 three to one in the first 18 months after their respective launches. And a lot of people had a low opinion of the Z6. That just goes to show you what a disappointment the D500 actually was. In any case, the Z8 renders a Z500 redundant, just like the D850 instantly made the D500 redundant. I would rather see a D7500 level camera. i.e., a Z50 Mark II with IBIS and the Z6III AF.

@@free-qe6wx of course, it was a flop, because those idiots in Nikon tried to push everybody to FX, but what happened? - they kicked every DX user first of all to other camera manufacturers. Then the D850 came and after that the ML and because of the crappy AF in Nikon ML cameras, Nikon kicked a lot of people to another companies again. That is Nikon, lol PS: if Nikon had woken up and released the D500 when it mattered, it would have been a hit. And when was it supposed to be? Well, sometimes 3-5 years after the D300, i.e. 2010-2012. Instead, Nikon slept soundly (as always) and the D500 arrived in 2016!!! That would be a "magic" of the D500 (D400)...

@@Jviotr why would anyone buy a 46 MPx FF camera and use it in DX mode???

Glad you enjoyed it.

pair great with the r7. its the main camera I use with it

Yes. Here it is. ruclips.net/video/frmGVf4M9JQ/видео.html
