Is Nikon Z6 III a low light machine? BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY in tough conditions

Finally I got to test the new nikon z6 III in the field. I found a large woodpecker chick. So it was a nice bird and situation to test out this great camera. In the dark forest I could also test out the ISO performance of this camera. And I was impressed. Even on ISO 10000 it was much cleaner then I expected. And all the images I show in the video is without any form of noise reduction.
My conclusion is that I really like this camera for bird photography.

    I always admire your tenacity and the quality of your work, Trond. If you will put some mosquito repellent on your hands and then put on a pair of mesh gloves with the rubber dots to keep them from slipping you can keep the bugs off and not get any of the plastic melting repellent on your equipment. The mesh head net you had on works pretty well but you need to put bug repellent on your cap and the back of your head. Or... you could have a medic standing by to give you a blood transfusion when you get out of the woods. I have been there and done that so I know what it's like. Nevertheless, your spotted woodpecker shots were spectacular and the processing couldn't be any better. Youdaman, Trond.

    Props for doing such nice work under those damn bugs! Used to live in Minnesota and "fondly" remember those bugs - not! The heat in Phoenix is really not any better. Gotta ask, what does the Z6iii bring to the table the Z9 does not; for you? Owning the Z8 and Z9, not sure if the Z6iii would fit into my kit or not.

    Those midges look as bad as the west coast of Scotland. Your camouflage headgear with the net face looks like a good bit of kit. The z6III looks good!

    Subscribed and liked and watch your vids. Just wonder if I can get the same from you ;-) I'm mostly "immerged" in concrete now but nature is my true nature. By the way, Z6 iii is my dream camera to upgrade - I'm still stuck with the old and faithful Z6 original. Nikon priced it a bit too ambitiously in my country
