I just received your video. I've had my Z6 iii for a few days, replacing my Z5 of 3 years or so. Every characteristic or improvement, so far, is better than I expected, after setting my expectations by pouring over the online reviews. I wish it had the Z8/Z9 monitor mount, but I will survive. I wish it would allow upload of files greater than 4GB that can too-easily be created at 240fps, but I will survive until that limitation is addressed in a firmware update. I am dismayed by the technologists versus the fanboys fighting over the Dynamic Range issue. Personally, I am glad that I was made aware that there is around 1 stop less dynamic range at base ISO than in my Z5 ... I would rather adjust my shooting style before pressing the shutter release than be disappointed with the files at the computer; so it's not an issue for me. Oh yes, and I need to by a new cage because the camera grew in size.

concerning the overblown focus on the minimal decrease in dynamic range compared to the Z6 I/II, you must wonder whether people are just talking about it for clickbait or even worse believing they can't capture good imagery with 1/2 stop less dynamic range.

Thank you Christopher

you're welcome!

Thank you for the video. May I ask, if there is a black out in the evf, when using the electronic shutter? Thanks in advance!

Electronic Shutter and Silent Mode have EVF/LCD blackout.

N-raw will be obsolete soon as Nikon will look into Red Raw. 60fps Prores Raw would have made this camera a good purchase for filmmaking.

Depending on the acquisition agreement and the switch to a 16-bit sensor, it would be awesome to see a 16-bit REDCODE RAW capable Z9 II / Z8 II. As far as ProRes RAW capping at 30p instead of 60p, perhaps it comes down to processor overhead issue or to steer users in the direction of N-RAW. Until DaVinci Resolve supports ProRes RAW, there will be a lot of videographers using N-RAW.

@@ChristopherDobeyThe 30fps cap comes down to the fact that ProRes RAW requires so much bandwidth.
