What do you think about the Nikon D6?

Very disappointing camera, the new D6 patterns could migrate to D5, like the vertical and horizontal ones that already has been added to D5 via firmware. No innovations this time like Canon did with it's AF and face recognition and new sensor joystick and other features. Why after 4 years still no control of joystick speed? , at least do it to the one that you already have? (If i want to move the focus point fast to other side no way to do it). It's just focus speed, so simple feature to add. Why still after 4 years you didn't add support to CFexpress while D850 and Z6/7 , that are much cheaper have it already. Why through this 4 years there where only minor updates for 6k$ camera? AND!!! WHY the hell if I store my settings (ISO, shutter speed, aperture) the WB setting isn't saved. So you did this feature (through menues) that canon have for years via C1,C2,C3, you allow to save 3 setting but no WB, it's a joke. If I photograph sport event that start before sunset(5500k) and end it at evening (3200k) I want wb setting to be recalled too, but no way to do it. Or if i'm indoors with 5500k setting(with flash) and go outside to different Kelvin, I can't recall that... And another very very important, the D5 had artifacts even at base ISO's like 100-200 iso range, when you try to push 1 stop,vertical lines, while Canon doesn't have this artifacts with better DR at low iso's (50-800 range). Hope at lease you came with a better sensor this time. Overall specs are disappointing for me. The changes are so minor that it's even not D5s for me. Rod Mar, you are a Nikon ambassador, so by definition you can not be unbiased. Also not so impressed with your composition, first photo at 2:07 (It's like we have only center focus point). At 2:50 you cut her leg... Why there is no word about face recognition like 1Dx III does? Nikon didn't implement this in 4 years? "Raw to one card, jpeg for another, ... technology" 5:28- is that something new or some innovation that you mention or that's Nikon new technologies? Joke. Did Nikon do anything about it's old disease, the peeling rubbers? The camera is 6500$, why not to learn from other Brand (Canon) how to make rubbers stick to it's body? BTW, last thing, it's about warranty issue that everyone can run into, like me and it was so bad. I'm working with two D5 bodies, one of them had Mack Diamond warranty and I had a spots issue on sensor. Now listen carefully. The spots/specs, could not be removed by liquid cleaning, and the specs somehow got under the sensor(never had this before). So it was sent to Nikon USA lab for it to be cleaned or exchanged. After 2.5 month of waiting, I got the sensor with specs but on another areas of the sensor, BUT also got 2 hot pixels in different places. I sent it again, waiting another 2.5 moths, mentioning! that I did get sensor with hot pixels I didn't had before. Your are guessing what happened? Second time I'm getting another sensor, with specs and with 2 hot pixels in another areas of the sensor and then my warranty ended, so i'm with one defective sensor from Nikon official USA lab. And those 2 hot pixels, you can see them without enlarging to 100%. How much to change to new sensor? 2285$. Anyone want to see the pictures with hot pixels? I will send you the link. No way to map in in Lightroom or auto import it with "cleaning" preset- the preset only takes other adjustments but not the cleaning tool. Very disappointing Nikon.

As a D5 user, I'll not be 'upgrading' the this D6. I removed my name from your lest several weeks ago. Good luck with the D6, maybe once it's out and clicking I'll notice a reason to buy.

Great video Rod. I am 66 and I am looking at the Nikon D6 because it is now November 2021 and one cannot buy a Brand New Nikon D5. I know that there is a lot of people out there having a hissy fit about the D6 and it's shortcomings, and that it is merely a D5S but quite frankly I don't care what other people say. There is also a new Nikon Z9 about to be released but the Nikon D6 would be the better camera for me. My favorite camera that I own and still use is the Nikon F5. I am also a NIKON person.

It's a great review of D6 thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Very nice camera

Based on the specs and the press release the main improvement from D5 to D6 is in the AF performance, most likely in the tracking abilities of the camera (vs initial acquisition). This was not addressed during this "review". Granted it would take some real testing side-by-side with D5 to detect any such improvement. Waiting to see someone currently shooting with D5 to try this camera.

I want one so bad! I have Nikond850 I love it!

i love tough cameras , iv been to some rough areas in the world . had to duck and dive , where not many if any dslrs survive being bounced off rock mud and crud , Nikons D Singles excell with a swill of water ,

I really want to see the new autofocusing system at racing, birds flying action shoots. I know what the D500 and D5 are capable of. My hope is that the new system responds even better. Will rent one and test with my big glasses.

I would like to see a D6 review from somebody who is not a Nikon fan but sticks to the truth. Just to looking at the pictures you showed in this video, I am not so impressed far is sharpness, but it looks pretty damn clear at 32000 ISO. It would be a great idea to taking shoots with the D5 as well so we could really see the difference is there is any. 14 fps don't really mean anything to me, what more important is how many keeper you gonna have out of the 14 shoots. Honestly , the $1000 deference between the D6 and D5 it's not that significant, therefore I thing the noticeable and more beneficial difference also won't be so significant.

I know I'm looking at these shots on a small screen, but dang those shots at 32000 iso. I went back like 3 times, and checked to make sure it wasn't 3200 iso. Then I thought maybe a mistake on the text, then he said it, nope thirty two thousand, dang! Might have to sale my D3s, D810, and my D500 for a down payment on this beast. I wonder if it will go on sale anytime soon.

@JoeHTX

I was thinking the same thing. But look at 6:43 it says 32000 ISO and 1/16000 second shutter speed. They had to add an extra 0 on to each of those. The fastest shutter speed is only 1/8000 of a second, so that should read 1/1600, not 1/16000. Whoever typed that in made a mistake and added an extra 0 on both.

I like the photographer and his enthusiasm. Shooting in a boxing ring, I don't feel it is that challenging... He didn't talk about what focus system he was on. I want to see how well the camera is tracking the eye. What is the biggest difference between this and the D5? I like to pixel peep to see how good the ISO really is? Can you compare that with the D5 or Z6? All he said is how good this camera is, but I want to hear about the cons too? My biggest problem is I don't trust his opinion. I don't believe he is completely objective because he is a Nikon ambassador and paid by B&H. A lot of pros use it during a wedding. If I was him at least use it in a ballroom where people are dancing. Demonstrate why this will make my life easier during a real shoot and not just a bunch of shallow compliments of the basic feature.

"The menues haven't changed - the buttons haven't changed" ... - almost nothig had really changed since the D5..... No doubt, an excellent camera but not more than a D5s

it is not new camera. it is same D5

I'm Nikon user and I laugh to this. Boxing is the right sport to challenge that camera? I would like to see that camera in sports like bandy where the camera is actually going to face some rough weather and fast sport.

LOL my first and last pro body was a D1x. So the D6 is a gussied up D500. Yawn. If you need 14 or more fps then you straight up can't pick your shots (the truth hurts doesn't it so no QQ). Say what you want but the best bang for your buck are the APS - C flagship bodies. The average person looking at your photos isn't going to notice any difference so long as your tech is true. That expensive hype is for egocentrics. I've shot with consumer, prosumer and pro bodies and absolutely none of my clients can tell the difference. The D300s was amazing for it's time and the D500 hasn't let me down for years and most likely will pull me through any challenge for years to come. It's an amazing piece of tech. Some people never learn: It's not about the camera, it's about the person behind it. The lens...sigh. I would love that lens but what "normal" pro can afford that? Buy a D500 save 4K and buy the lens. It's crazy how we shot back in the 80s with film and did just fine with decent glass and a hand held meter. These days people want the camera to do everything, even compose.

Everyone keeps talking about the 14 fps. Meanwhile canon has 16 fps and 20 fps and Sony has had 20 fps (but a neutered 20 fps). This is literally a Nikon d5s and franky a bad s variant too.

It's the new D5! *D6

this is really public👏🏻

its not clear over 8000 ISO - he post edit in lightroom and its smudgy

What is so new and special about this D6? You are showing ISO performance and drive speed both are just cosmetic improvements only. Go and shoot a head-on flying bird against a varied background and show how good the autofocus and tracking is.

ok, canon 1dxmk3 won. it cannt priortizes focus point selection based on the position of eye by optical viewfinder. and, it maximum ISO is only 819200. and, all of the 1dxmk2 users need buy new memory card. so, 1dxmk3 won.

some photos have backfocus, lol :)
