I don't know anything about the Z6III but on my Z9, I've assigned everything I use regularly to buttons and rings on the lens itself where my left hand typically is. I'm guessing it will have the same capability to assign functions as needed in the Custom Shooting menu.
This example with the PSAM dial he is hogwash. On Nikon Z8/Z8 and it looks like also the Z6III you can program shooting mode (PSAM) or shooting bank (the actual video modes, 6k60p, 4k120p, etc.) to most buttons+dial combinations. Meaning, you hold down a button and then scroll through with the aperture or shutter speed dial to cycle through each option, and release to set it. Much better than having to lift your hand off the grip and fumble around with the PSAM dial regardless of what side it is on. This is the typical Sony mindset on display. They transpose problems that only exist on Sony camera's to other manufacturers, and then when Sony fixes their Sony only problem its a come to Jesus moment for them and everyone else should do this fix.
Can you assign min SS in Auto ISO to a button so I no longer need to dive into the menu? On every of my Sony and Fuji cameras I just press a button and all shutter speeds are shown right away. But on my Nikon cameras, I have to go through several levels of menus.
@@USGrant21st I can't speak for all Nikons but, ever since the D5, and later the D6, and of course the Z8 and Z9, you can assign "Recall Shooting Function" to a function button to instantly change a variety of settings including iso and turning auto iso on and off. I use this when panning, for example, if a bike goes down and I want to capture the crash sharply, I hit the topmost of 3 function buttons on the Z9 and my shutter speed goes from whatever slow speed I'm on to 1/1000 and aperture changes to f/13. Auto iso remains on so that adjusts automatically. I also change the focus mode to auto with vehicle detection since crashes tend to be chaotic. Works perfectly. I would imagine the Z6III, drawing from the Z8 and Z9, will have this feature as well.
@@USGrant21st super easy, i've been doing this since 2009 on my D90, quick access to ISO settings..much more options now with Z mirrorless, so for me I set FN2 (or any button you want) and assign "TOP of MY MENU" and set it to ISO sensitivity settings (min shutter speed is there), really quick, don't even need to remove your eye on the viewfinder. I have it on my Z6, Z9, Z30 and Z6III.
While looking though the viewfinder press the “i” button with your thumb and then change frame rates using the back command dial. Just have to leave frame rate selected ahead of time and it’s automatically selected every time you press “i”. All done while looking through the viewfinder and you only need your thumb. You can customize the “i” button for movie mode and use the nubbin to move around the “i” button for other settings you needed something else.

Heh :) Kasey, u r forgetting the Z 180-600mm lens has not one, not two, but THREE programmable Fn (function) buttons - u set them up to get around ur curious left side dial dilemna. I won't trade in my Z f on the Z 6 III, I actually prefer the old school ergonomics, as I still shoot film with an F3, and FM2N, and an FM3A. The Z 6 III makes a mockery of the A7S4 and the S5II - in every way - and sad to say, makes ur beloved A7SIII look even more tired and worn-out :) I get that u prefer the A7SIII for your use case, but how long are u going to remain slavishly devoted to that camera body and Sony's absolutely awful telephoto lens selections for wildlife and BIF? Remember the old adage - "Date the camera, marry the lens." Keep up the good work; always entertaining content...
@@cameraconspiracies ZF was purposely made hard to handle to appease dorks who want to pretend they are shooting with an old film camera and like crappy ergonomics, dials and a hard to find shutter button. and people who want to pretend they are shooting film probably don't care about video. i suspect that the Z6iii shooting banks will be set up like the Z8/Z9 and you'll be able to switch easily without repositioning either hand. have faith, brother. and please get to my photo that i submitted for one of your photo review videos.
Is the recall function for the Fuji something that came with a FWU for the XH2s (can´t remember) at the time you no longer had the camera? Works wonderfully I never use my dial.
You do realize you can assign the 2 function buttons by your right fingers to recall any settings you would need to change. I use one on the Z8 to switch from high shutter shots to slow shutter panning in an instant. Learn the camera settings.
@@cameraconspiracies That's why they added custom buttons. Use what they give you for what they were intended for. With a right hand wheel you would lose the top screen. More people use that screen than not.
2:48 do you know Nikon gave us these neat little custom action buttons to dial with that are hidden at the fingertip area of the right hand grip but they don’t give us the ability to change custom modes or frame rate, etc. there is so much potential if they would open up the possibilities of what we could assign to those buttons.
On Fuji cameras you can assign a button to recall C1. I use that to swap back and forth between 4k60p/HD240p. If Nikon has that feature, the dial on the left side might not be an issue for you.
YEP 100%! Just place a mode BUTTON on the right! I was at least hoping for the "clover" setup with a mode button, but then Nikon would have had banks instead of user modes. With a button, you COULD potentially FULLY customize it with only the modes you need. Or you could have unlimited user modes. I only need 4, but I need them to save more settings than they do. The lens button mapping is limited. Not every feature is available on them. On the Z8 I couldn't even set F1 directly to spot metering like I can on most other Nikon's, including most of the other Z's. Thom Hogan did an article on firmware recently, pointing out how there's no coordination or consistency between these teams. I never use the top LCD, but some like it, just put it on the left side of the hump. Hopefully it has a FEW (or one) recall settings you can access without the dial; which the ZF should add as well. Nikon can't even tell time, always behind, an 8:04 release. ;) I'm going to check it out anyway, the price is right. How long until we see a Z50II or a Z7III?
Nikon Z8 and Z9 can custom button and dial switch into different banks. I press one button and dial to do it. Should share it on my shot Suvara channel. I have to say, I do miss the A7siii, but I don’t regret selling it.
@@cameraconspiracies Use the numerous programmable lens Fn (function) buttons available on every Nikkor Z telephoto lens. The 600mm and the 180-600mm both have 3. Problem (if it was a problem) solved. You're welcome :)
But why would you waste a function button for a thing that should in a right place from start? In Z5 and Z50 they've made the dial properly on the right side and by this they made them more professional than their professional models :)
@@kynio3433 How many lens function buttons does one need? I use the 3 lens Fn buttons for switching to 3D tracking AF, bracketing, and WB...and the only button I really use is the 3D tracking one. I agree, my only complaint about the Z f is I think they could have done one more camera Fn button - but it is a mild complaint, as all the Nikkor Z telephoto have 3 programmable Fn buttons.
@@warn0245 I just don't want to be in a situation that I miss one Fn button, that I've used to duplicate another button that is already on the body, but in wrong place due to poor design. Of course the original button cannot be reprogrammed, because of reasons. Why?
The best part of the Sony design is that the left side is free to mount accessories. On the A7III I had a Smallrig coldshoe extender I used to mount my mic on the side, so I was free to use the briefcase mode on my gimble. Then I switched to the A7IV, and even tho the extender didn't fit the camera, the left side was still free, so I just used a 3am doublesided tape, to stick a penny-worth cold shoe to the body, and I was good to go again. This also opens up possibilities to use on camera flash/trigger, and a go pro at the same time to record BTS for photography. On my Fuji X-H2s (still the best bang for the buck hybrid video camera IMO if you don't need a fancy AF tracking since it is kind of bad) I am forced to use a bulky L bracket, with coldshoe attachment for that same functionality, and since no good brand produces L brackets right now (small rig discontinued it) the fit is terrible, and the weight it adds is enourmous. On top of that it limits the LCD movement, so I got the anglegrinder out and cut the s**t out of it, to free up the screen and reduce the weight LOL. Funny how I used plenty of sony camers (A7 II, III, IV, A6300, A6600) professionaly for number of years, and the only freaking thing I miss from them is the bloody free spot on the top left of their bodies FFS!
Man, thanks for bringing up the fact that they left out some info about the crops. There are a couple of things that I’ve been wanting to know but the reviewers aren’t saying.
For cool photography features everyone is *at best* on Olympus level for everything except autofocus. If only they didn't shackle themselves to m4/3 15 years ago, we could've had a full-frame camera with LiveND, in-camera macro stacking, all customisable buttons, super cool live composite modes that work in handheld because the stabe is lightyears ahead of everyone and an actual IP-rating that only Leica matches or improves on. It's fucking INSANE that nobody except Panasonic is even trying to offer these things in their cameras to this day. Google figured out how to stack photos without ghosting in 2013 with sensors of that era, long before fast readouts or stacked chips.
I actually prefer the ergonomics of the Z50 and the Z5, which both have all dials on the right side. They just leave out the top LCD screen to do it, which I don’t miss. I frequently use my right hand to switch between stills and videos on my Z5 while hand-holding the 180-600.
Thanks for another laugh buddy! Have you tried the 70-350mm E-Mount? Much smaller wildlife option for APSC but you can use the crop on full-frame if you’ve got the mpx. Good to see how big the 200-600 is in your hand, gives good context about that lens
I think nikon bodies always have two custom buttons on the right front, and also the big lenses have custom buttons so while you hold them you can still change settings. I must say the camera looked kinda big in the preview. I am more worried about the size and weigth.
Why not put the silly screen on the left side and the dial on the right, would make much more sense, in my opinion. Especially for Nikon, since they're clearly focusing on Wildlife and sports. But I'm pretty sure you can get by with assigned hotkeys for your most important functions, without ever needing the dial.
Looks like all the other cam gears reviewers either love the monkey arm dab or they have 3 arms that could reach the left hand dial...watched 3 Z6iii reviews. Nobody highlighted this except you. Thanks for your info.
It just keeps getting even more sad and pathetic for Sony. They released a pro FF body nobody wants or can afford (A9III) and a pro 300 f2.8 nobody wants or can afford (E 300 f2.8GM). Meanwhile its just hit after hit with Nikon, especially for the wildlife/sports action crowd. You have four wonderful PF lenes (300, 500, 600, 800), five phenomenal FL lenses (180-400, 400, 500, 600, 800), the very best pro lenses (400 f2.8 TC and 600 f4 TC), the best 100-400 semi-pro zoom, the best ~180-600 budget zoom, and the incredibly cheap and still viable 200-500 f5.6 for the entry level. Oh, and throw in the 28-400 just to sprinkle that last little pinch of salt right in the Sony users eyeball. Best FF pro flagship, best FF semi-pro flagship, and now the best FF mid-range. Unless Sony releases 8-10 great 300mm+ lenses along with a new FF semi-pro and FF mid-range this year, Nikon's lead will be insurmountable.
Dude. The reason is they don’t package the one all, be end all camera…is. Ready for it? Then what would they release the next year? It’s simple. They release what they release is because people buy it. If people started “voting” with their money, it would be a different world. We are all like homeless dogs, taking whatever scraps we accept.
@@cameraconspiracies hey I see you did try already in your recent video :) Not even half bad! You're natural 👍 No, I totally get what you're saying. It makes sense. Just myself personally never had such an experience. These big lenses are expensive and on a different level from me and my 16-300 dx tamron zoom :) Like your delivery style! Thanks for your content.
Z6 iii Fantastic looking camera…Near perfect were it not for the really really terrible image stabilisation wobbling pitching & yawing all over the shop …also adding their E stabe makes it real weird going by today’s TH-cam first look videos Your channel is great Thanks
I have the Z9 and on that body you can just create custom function button by your middle fingers or ring finger on your right hand next to the lens mount where you hand falls naturally. It allows you to set crop modes as well frame rate by just depressing the button and using the dial to switch. Pretty easy actually. Have you tried that?
You're the only person who thinks A7siii is a better camera in the world. Lets see: A7Siii is $1000 more expensive, only 12mp (useless for photography), crappier EVF, crappier IBIS, can't hoot 6k, only 10fps, no internal raw recording, no firmware updates which makes it a dinosair camera. Did i say only 12mp?
@cameraconspiracies so according to you the more dot the better? What about lag free evf of Z6iii over A7Siii? What about higher brightness 4000nits vs 700? What about Sony EVF is only 9mil dot during playback and not while shooting? And while it's 9mil dot, the refresh is only 60fps. Perhaps you should read up more more about Sony EVF before and their bs marketing strategies instead of spreading misinformation.
i menu is accessible with your right hand. Or customizable button. Ideally the dial should be on right side but at this point we are just complaining to complain. The deal breaker for me is the flip screen and Z8 is now in same price bracket.
Lol it's so simple what he's asking for. All a company has to create is a camera that's literally identical in specs, usability, and performance to the A7SIII but with pretty much anyone else's image characteristics 😂 I don't even need the same things in a camera and yet I absolutely feel his frustration on this one. He can't possibly be the only user who has his preferences? I feel like my needs are more niche, and I still found my perfect camera for under $2400. Two years ago. Where is this man's perfect camera??? I want more slowmo wildlife videos 😭
Here is whats hilarious to me Kasey, the Nikon Z6 III, has worse dynamic range in BOTH video AND photo than the Panasonic G9M2 and GH7, now. Lets take a moment and realise, WHAT IN THE F"&/#???? How the livid cup did Nikon achieve worse dynamic range than a micro four thirds sensor? LOL! Its too funny for me, we are literally going backwards in features, 4k120p WITH A CROP? LOL Again its just ridicules, the IBIS is basically the same from Z f which means its basically Fuji level, unusable. Nikon Z6 III for 2500 dollars, is it better than S5M2? Yes and no, better slow mo video, WAY WORSE dynamic range, unusable IBIS in video, it does shoot internal RAW, but the latest Pannies also shoot RAW to a SSD which imao makes more sense cause a 4TB SSD is a lot cheaper than a 1TB Express Card which you definitely need those RAW files are monstrous. I also like they made it a hybrid yet includes that silly tiny little screen on top of the camera for some reasons, I mean no one ever thought about just moving that tiny little screen to the left side I mean we do not need that screen even in photography its literally just look down to the mainscreen and "oh wow my shutter speed is 1/200 oh my ISO is 320?" but no, Nikon adding a tiny little screen so that those perverts can keep taking pictures in mens baths with the camera at their waist without looking suspicious. Its just all a big joke to me, the industry is a joke, I been in this for way too long like over a decade and I basically used MFT cameras for all the jobs as long as I just add a grip to them and use the big lenses, the customers do not care they cannot tell the difference, "Oh your camera is so large, you must be a real pro" thats basically their reaction, full frame is so nice but A7s3 was the only one that appealed to me because I have greater hatred for jello effect then I do for Canon cripple hammer.
As a long-term reader of Ken Rockwell's website, I can say that this is one thing that he has been going on about cameras for a long time. Canon usually gets it on the 'right' side. Somehow, most high-end cameras have it on the left. Does not make sense ergonomically. This seems otherwise like a very promising camera, possibly the D750 of the mirrorless gen.
I don’t understand anything about cameras, I don’t understand your camera lingo… is like you are talking in another language…But maaaan your sarcasm and the way you make your videos appeals to me, that’s why I watch you. Very entertaining!!! Keep it up!
I think really these days that all cameras are more than capable of excellent results and probably the most important aspect is what gear you enjoy, interface , menu ergonomics etc. Unless you have very specific niche use case . You cannot go wrong, all brands have their pros and cons. I think that increasingly as all cameras get that bit better each generation there is no feature that would make me even consider jumping ship to another brand. Unless your channel is devoted to whining { about everyone 😀 } there are no shortage of cameras more than capable of doing talking head type videos . I find it a touch comical when you see some of the crazy set ups some YT channels have to post typically 4k videos with poor bit-rates and compression applied by YT
When will we see the Z6 IV next summer ! Nothing amazingly new here...however the content creators and influencers may love it, not for $2500...hmmm, your so right!
I don’t get why “talk to your camera” isn’t a standard thing yet - “hey Nikon, switch to HD 240” - no need to reach for anything. DJI already did a basic version with the Action 1.
Casey never learned how to rotate a camera body. Too used to holding it level. Rotate the lens hand 30-40 degrees and you have easy access to the mode dial. It shows he's always been a video guy, not a photographer. Most of the best wildlife photographers used Nikon pro bodies like the D3, D4, D5; all with the mode dial on the left. Same with the Z9. But, stick to what you know. Always be entertaining.
The deal breaker is that Sony will totally trump this in not too distant future. They have to come up with something that is clearly the best buy not just catching up. The Z8 is the one worth buying but that's a whole lot more cost. In the meantime while Sony, Nikon and Canon compete, Panasonics are going for silly low money second hand. The Panasonics are undervalued.
I'm all for having as many dials and physical buttons as possible, but any dials on the left side of the body should be strictly "extra", redundant, or 100% customizable. Whatever function they control should either be able to be controlled by another button/dial on the right side of the camera, or be a function that would otherwise not have any physical dial/button at all. No mission-critical or frequently used functions should be placed over there, especially if that is going to be the only way to control that function.
Your color grading has drastically improved recently. Not sure if it’s 100% cinematch but I bet your viewers would like an updated behind the scenes of your new grading process and some talk about your shift from “I want the best straight out of camera for TH-cam hobos” to “I’m a color grading master look at the pop and rich colors! This hobos got a bow tie now”
Hmm, fair points... I don't really do birds yet, just bought a Panasonic G9ii so I can have longer rearch without giant lenses in addition to my Z6ii. I had a lot of complaints about the Panasonic ergonomicscompared to what I'm used to on Nikon, but never thought about using my right hand to turn that dial... Speaking of ergonomics I really wanted an Olympus OM-1, but the fact that they put the on/off switch on the left is compltely rediculos. How do you turn the camera on while your left hand is holding the lens and your right hand is holding the grip, I don't get it.
It’s true you need all the help you can get to snag those groundbreaking squirrel videos. I look forward to not watching you not struggle with that left side dial.
The useless Nikon Z6 3 commercials are popping up allround youtube. They learned nothing from the Panasonic S9 debacle. But i guess i have to thank them, saves me a lot of time only coming here for a real review. Not some paid commercial.
What type of computer would you need to edit 6k 60 fps video content? I live in the communist country of Canada, where shortages abound. No way we Canadians can get our hands on such a computer.
I’m so jelous of the mechanical shutter on the z6iii. My Z8 has banding shooting HSS with godox ad400pro flashes (faster than 1/1000s). should be a do it all camera for portraits but sadly no. And there’s no alternative, this 24mp is not enough for serious big client prints.

Just picked up a panny s5II with 2 lens brand new for 2k €.
“it laid a nest”….. hah
Heh :) Kasey, u r forgetting the Z 180-600mm lens has not one, not two, but THREE programmable Fn (function) buttons - u set them up to get around ur curious left side dial dilemna. I won't trade in my Z f on the Z 6 III, I actually prefer the old school ergonomics, as I still shoot film with an F3, and FM2N, and an FM3A. The Z 6 III makes a mockery of the A7S4 and the S5II - in every way - and sad to say, makes ur beloved A7SIII look even more tired and worn-out :) I get that u prefer the A7SIII for your use case, but how long are u going to remain slavishly devoted to that camera body and Sony's absolutely awful telephoto lens selections for wildlife and BIF? Remember the old adage - "Date the camera, marry the lens." Keep up the good work; always entertaining content...
hahahahaah this guy talking about color science. lol
As a z8 user, you wouldnt use the mode dial to change video modes, you’d use one of the function buttons on the grip. But I see your point!
Nikon Z8 has mode banks that you switch with right hand dials and each can have different PASM mode as well as resolution and frame rate.
Well ZF doesn't.
@@cameraconspiracies Zf carries a completely separate design language. I would be surprised if z6III followed that rather than the one of z8/z9
@@cameraconspiracies ZF was purposely made hard to handle to appease dorks who want to pretend they are shooting with an old film camera and like crappy ergonomics, dials and a hard to find shutter button. and people who want to pretend they are shooting film probably don't care about video. i suspect that the Z6iii shooting banks will be set up like the Z8/Z9 and you'll be able to switch easily without repositioning either hand. have faith, brother. and please get to my photo that i submitted for one of your photo review videos.
@@cameraconspiracies ZF is in the peasant camera category for design.
@@cameraconspiracies But this is about the Z6 iii, not the ZF🙂😇
Is the recall function for the Fuji something that came with a FWU for the XH2s (can´t remember) at the time you no longer had the camera? Works wonderfully I never use my dial.
The left hand dial… This is why bois need to be proficient with the reach around manoeuvre.
What a hoot! You and “Fro” should do a road show together!
You do realize you can assign the 2 function buttons by your right fingers to recall any settings you would need to change. I use one on the Z8 to switch from high shutter shots to slow shutter panning in an instant. Learn the camera settings.
Takes up a custom button, and makes the dial useless. All could be easily solved with a proper right hand dial.
@@cameraconspiracies That's why they added custom buttons. Use what they give you for what they were intended for. With a right hand wheel you would lose the top screen. More people use that screen than not.
@@JET-Photo I don't need the top screen, most people say they don't use it. It could move to the left hand side, just as easy to see...
2:48 do you know Nikon gave us these neat little custom action buttons to dial with that are hidden at the fingertip area of the right hand grip but they don’t give us the ability to change custom modes or frame rate, etc. there is so much potential if they would open up the possibilities of what we could assign to those buttons.
Kasey never fails to amaze me no matter how many times I watch his videos
On Fuji cameras you can assign a button to recall C1. I use that to swap back and forth between 4k60p/HD240p. If Nikon has that feature, the dial on the left side might not be an issue for you.
I'm still waiting for my perfect left handed camera with all controls and grip on the left.
I want ambidextrous camera with grips on both sides.
YEP 100%! Just place a mode BUTTON on the right! I was at least hoping for the "clover" setup with a mode button, but then Nikon would have had banks instead of user modes. With a button, you COULD potentially FULLY customize it with only the modes you need. Or you could have unlimited user modes. I only need 4, but I need them to save more settings than they do. The lens button mapping is limited. Not every feature is available on them. On the Z8 I couldn't even set F1 directly to spot metering like I can on most other Nikon's, including most of the other Z's. Thom Hogan did an article on firmware recently, pointing out how there's no coordination or consistency between these teams.
I never use the top LCD, but some like it, just put it on the left side of the hump. Hopefully it has a FEW (or one) recall settings you can access without the dial; which the ZF should add as well.
Nikon can't even tell time, always behind, an 8:04 release. ;) I'm going to check it out anyway, the price is right. How long until we see a Z50II or a Z7III?
Can you add that to the function buttons on the right, by the lens?
Nikon Z8 and Z9 can custom button and dial switch into different banks. I press one button and dial to do it.
Should share it on my shot Suvara channel.
I have to say, I do miss the A7siii, but I don’t regret selling it.
ZF doesn't.
@@cameraconspiracies Use the numerous programmable lens Fn (function) buttons available on every Nikkor Z telephoto lens. The 600mm and the 180-600mm both have 3. Problem (if it was a problem) solved. You're welcome :)
But why would you waste a function button for a thing that should in a right place from start? In Z5 and Z50 they've made the dial properly on the right side and by this they made them more professional than their professional models :)
@@kynio3433 How many lens function buttons does one need? I use the 3 lens Fn buttons for switching to 3D tracking AF, bracketing, and WB...and the only button I really use is the 3D tracking one. I agree, my only complaint about the Z f is I think they could have done one more camera Fn button - but it is a mild complaint, as all the Nikkor Z telephoto have 3 programmable Fn buttons.
@@warn0245 I just don't want to be in a situation that I miss one Fn button, that I've used to duplicate another button that is already on the body, but in wrong place due to poor design. Of course the original button cannot be reprogrammed, because of reasons. Why?
The best part of the Sony design is that the left side is free to mount accessories. On the A7III I had a Smallrig coldshoe extender I used to mount my mic on the side, so I was free to use the briefcase mode on my gimble. Then I switched to the A7IV, and even tho the extender didn't fit the camera, the left side was still free, so I just used a 3am doublesided tape, to stick a penny-worth cold shoe to the body, and I was good to go again. This also opens up possibilities to use on camera flash/trigger, and a go pro at the same time to record BTS for photography. On my Fuji X-H2s (still the best bang for the buck hybrid video camera IMO if you don't need a fancy AF tracking since it is kind of bad) I am forced to use a bulky L bracket, with coldshoe attachment for that same functionality, and since no good brand produces L brackets right now (small rig discontinued it) the fit is terrible, and the weight it adds is enourmous. On top of that it limits the LCD movement, so I got the anglegrinder out and cut the s**t out of it, to free up the screen and reduce the weight LOL. Funny how I used plenty of sony camers (A7 II, III, IV, A6300, A6600) professionaly for number of years, and the only freaking thing I miss from them is the bloody free spot on the top left of their bodies FFS!
Man, thanks for bringing up the fact that they left out some info about the crops. There are a couple of things that I’ve been wanting to know but the reviewers aren’t saying.
For cool photography features everyone is *at best* on Olympus level for everything except autofocus. If only they didn't shackle themselves to m4/3 15 years ago, we could've had a full-frame camera with LiveND, in-camera macro stacking, all customisable buttons, super cool live composite modes that work in handheld because the stabe is lightyears ahead of everyone and an actual IP-rating that only Leica matches or improves on. It's fucking INSANE that nobody except Panasonic is even trying to offer these things in their cameras to this day. Google figured out how to stack photos without ghosting in 2013 with sensors of that era, long before fast readouts or stacked chips.
Enjoying the The Angry Photographer without the bile.
I actually prefer the ergonomics of the Z50 and the Z5, which both have all dials on the right side. They just leave out the top LCD screen to do it, which I don’t miss. I frequently use my right hand to switch between stills and videos on my Z5 while hand-holding the 180-600.
Are we gonna address the ninja turtle shell in the back? :D
NO PROBLEM!
Just rotate the camera 180 degrees so the dials are now on the bottom of the camera and easily reached by either hand!
Everyone has been holding their cameras wrong this whole time.
Thats a good ideia…
Thanks for another laugh buddy! Have you tried the 70-350mm E-Mount? Much smaller wildlife option for APSC but you can use the crop on full-frame if you’ve got the mpx. Good to see how big the 200-600 is in your hand, gives good context about that lens
Isn’t it fate to assign your favorite mode to a function button?
Damn I woke this morning for z63 joy and then this happened. Right hand wraparound 😢
I think nikon bodies always have two custom buttons on the right front, and also the big lenses have custom buttons so while you hold them you can still change settings. I must say the camera looked kinda big in the preview. I am more worried about the size and weigth.
Quality weighs. I've driven nails with my old D4, D5, and D6. LOL
The 1080pHD 240p is cropped (Z6iii), but it's 95% of the FF sensor, so its like realy close.
Why not put the silly screen on the left side and the dial on the right, would make much more sense, in my opinion. Especially for Nikon, since they're clearly focusing on Wildlife and sports.
But I'm pretty sure you can get by with assigned hotkeys for your most important functions, without ever needing the dial.
i dislike the top screens altogether, i wish they'd stop using them...or switch to e-ink or something that can be seen in sunlight
@@velvetvideoalways been able to see top screen in sunlight??? but anyways top screen is useful when there’s NO light.
You'd complain if your ice cream was cold. Put the 600mm on a monopod and your "problem" is solved.
Looks like all the other cam gears reviewers either love the monkey arm dab or they have 3 arms that could reach the left hand dial...watched 3 Z6iii reviews. Nobody highlighted this except you. Thanks for your info.
Yeah this does kinda suck, but coming from a D5300 i think i'll be happy, especially if custom buttons can take care of this.
It just keeps getting even more sad and pathetic for Sony. They released a pro FF body nobody wants or can afford (A9III) and a pro 300 f2.8 nobody wants or can afford (E 300 f2.8GM). Meanwhile its just hit after hit with Nikon, especially for the wildlife/sports action crowd. You have four wonderful PF lenes (300, 500, 600, 800), five phenomenal FL lenses (180-400, 400, 500, 600, 800), the very best pro lenses (400 f2.8 TC and 600 f4 TC), the best 100-400 semi-pro zoom, the best ~180-600 budget zoom, and the incredibly cheap and still viable 200-500 f5.6 for the entry level. Oh, and throw in the 28-400 just to sprinkle that last little pinch of salt right in the Sony users eyeball. Best FF pro flagship, best FF semi-pro flagship, and now the best FF mid-range. Unless Sony releases 8-10 great 300mm+ lenses along with a new FF semi-pro and FF mid-range this year, Nikon's lead will be insurmountable.
Dude. The reason is they don’t package the one all, be end all camera…is. Ready for it? Then what would they release the next year? It’s simple. They release what they release is because people buy it. If people started “voting” with their money, it would be a different world. We are all like homeless dogs, taking whatever scraps we accept.
Look at the bright side Sir, nobody is twisting your arm to buy anything. You don't like it then you don't buy it. As simple as that :-))
Didn't even know left dial was an issue 🤣 Always used it with the left hand, never knew it can be different.
Try it with a telephoto lens while keeping a bird in your frame.
@@cameraconspiracies hey I see you did try already in your recent video :) Not even half bad! You're natural 👍
No, I totally get what you're saying. It makes sense. Just myself personally never had such an experience. These big lenses are expensive and on a different level from me and my 16-300 dx tamron zoom :)

How do you know all that ? You had the camera in your hands for a few days ?
The peta pixel’s review video samples looked wobbly
What about the lack of a sensor shield? That could be an issue with sensor dust, particularly if you swap lens in the outdoors
Next video served up after this one: Petapixel - Nikon Z6 III: It's finally here, and it's FANTASTIC! > ROFL
You can set a custom button or the i button to change resolution
I have the Z9 and on that body you can just create custom function button by your middle fingers or ring finger on your right hand next to the lens mount where you hand falls naturally. It allows you to set crop modes as well frame rate by just depressing the button and using the dial to switch. Pretty easy actually. Have you tried that?
That's not in the Z6 III.
Waiting for A7V, A7SIV and FX6 mk2 then :D.
Meanwhile I'm going to reanimate my BMPCC6k with DJI Focus Pro (if it comes back in stock :D).
If you were left-handed you might like it. I am a Canon guy and I like their cameras.
On Canon m6ii all buttons are only on the right side.
Nikon is assuming you’re using a gimbal to hold the camea for wildlife, so the dial placement wouldn’t be an issue.
No they are assuming you’re using one of the many customizable buttons
You're the only person who thinks A7siii is a better camera in the world. Lets see: A7Siii is $1000 more expensive, only 12mp (useless for photography), crappier EVF, crappier IBIS, can't hoot 6k, only 10fps, no internal raw recording, no firmware updates which makes it a dinosair camera. Did i say only 12mp?
How is a 9 million dot viewfinder crappier? You obviously haven't researched the A7S III at all. We're talking about for video only, more MP is worse.
@cameraconspiracies so according to you the more dot the better? What about lag free evf of Z6iii over A7Siii? What about higher brightness 4000nits vs 700? What about Sony EVF is only 9mil dot during playback and not while shooting? And while it's 9mil dot, the refresh is only 60fps. Perhaps you should read up more more about Sony EVF before and their bs marketing strategies instead of spreading misinformation.
@@mlai2546 A7S III EVF is amazing, relax.
@cameraconspiracies yeah it's amazing when you have not seen other EVF.
Dang, I thought I found a good hybrid FF mirrorless camera.... oh my...
Thankfully I'll never be able to afford that lens
You are the funniest dude on TH-cam. Also, digging the glow up.
Giving the Nikon 1.8G a lot of credit with 1.8T :P Could you not set one of the 2 front function buttons to video mode settings? hmm
Having all these options is a bad thing? Now you are hilarious
Sony's next innovation will be: buy a Sony camera and get a fan for free.🤣🤣🤣🤣 but with the button on the side you like👍 the fan button obviously.
i menu is accessible with your right hand. Or customizable button. Ideally the dial should be on right side but at this point we are just complaining to complain. The deal breaker for me is the flip screen and Z8 is now in same price bracket.
Lol it's so simple what he's asking for. All a company has to create is a camera that's literally identical in specs, usability, and performance to the A7SIII but with pretty much anyone else's image characteristics 😂 I don't even need the same things in a camera and yet I absolutely feel his frustration on this one. He can't possibly be the only user who has his preferences?
I feel like my needs are more niche, and I still found my perfect camera for under $2400. Two years ago. Where is this man's perfect camera??? I want more slowmo wildlife videos 😭
Here is whats hilarious to me Kasey, the Nikon Z6 III, has worse dynamic range in BOTH video AND photo than the Panasonic G9M2 and GH7, now. Lets take a moment and realise, WHAT IN THE F"&/#????
How the livid cup did Nikon achieve worse dynamic range than a micro four thirds sensor? LOL! Its too funny for me, we are literally going backwards in features, 4k120p WITH A CROP? LOL
Again its just ridicules, the IBIS is basically the same from Z f which means its basically Fuji level, unusable.
Nikon Z6 III for 2500 dollars, is it better than S5M2? Yes and no, better slow mo video, WAY WORSE dynamic range, unusable IBIS in video, it does shoot internal RAW, but the latest Pannies also shoot RAW to a SSD which imao makes more sense cause a 4TB SSD is a lot cheaper than a 1TB Express Card which you definitely need those RAW files are monstrous.
I also like they made it a hybrid yet includes that silly tiny little screen on top of the camera for some reasons, I mean no one ever thought about just moving that tiny little screen to the left side I mean we do not need that screen even in photography its literally just look down to the mainscreen and "oh wow my shutter speed is 1/200 oh my ISO is 320?" but no, Nikon adding a tiny little screen so that those perverts can keep taking pictures in mens baths with the camera at their waist without looking suspicious.
Its just all a big joke to me, the industry is a joke, I been in this for way too long like over a decade and I basically used MFT cameras for all the jobs as long as I just add a grip to them and use the big lenses, the customers do not care they cannot tell the difference, "Oh your camera is so large, you must be a real pro" thats basically their reaction, full frame is so nice but A7s3 was the only one that appealed to me because I have greater hatred for jello effect then I do for Canon cripple hammer.
Rage on, rage man.
As a long-term reader of Ken Rockwell's website, I can say that this is one thing that he has been going on about cameras for a long time. Canon usually gets it on the 'right' side. Somehow, most high-end cameras have it on the left. Does not make sense ergonomically. This seems otherwise like a very promising camera, possibly the D750 of the mirrorless gen.
D750 also had the mode dial on the left :)))
@@FawfulDied yes, I know. I wanted to mention it as was otherwise good compromise in their line-up :)
Its the right camera for me. I anyway loose the subject even if the dial is on the right 😅
biggest deal breaker is no dual recording in video!! and no smart hotshoe.
Fun fact! Sony partially-stacked sensor inside the Z6 III. Z6 III is partially a pre production Sony A7S4.
Fun fact, you’re wrong, Jarmo. Maybe when ai am in Suomi next time, we can meet for a coffee and I can explain to you why. Hyvää Viikonloppua.
From what i can tell the 240p is no crop, and seems to be 10bit as well

Can get a new Z8 for not much more than the Z6iii. However are you ready to handle the extra bulk and weight based on the photography genres you do ?
I think really these days that all cameras are more than capable of excellent results and probably the most important aspect is what gear you enjoy, interface , menu ergonomics etc. Unless you have very specific niche use case . You cannot go wrong, all brands have their pros and cons. I think that increasingly as all cameras get that bit better each generation there is no feature that would make me even consider jumping ship to another brand. Unless your channel is devoted to whining { about everyone 😀 } there are no shortage of cameras more than capable of doing talking head type videos . I find it a touch comical when you see some of the crazy set ups some YT channels have to post typically 4k videos with poor bit-rates and compression applied by YT
When will we see the Z6 IV next summer ! Nothing amazingly new here...however the content creators and influencers may love it, not for $2500...hmmm, your so right!
it's literally the best mid range hybrid camera today, nothing can come even close.
Super funny video about a problem that doesn't exist 🤣
Its a $900 more than the current Z6 II going for 1600 in my places. Im out. 😅
I don’t get why “talk to your camera” isn’t a standard thing yet - “hey Nikon, switch to HD 240” - no need to reach for anything. DJI already did a basic version with the Action 1.
Casey never learned how to rotate a camera body. Too used to holding it level. Rotate the lens hand 30-40 degrees and you have easy access to the mode dial. It shows he's always been a video guy, not a photographer.
Most of the best wildlife photographers used Nikon pro bodies like the D3, D4, D5; all with the mode dial on the left. Same with the Z9.
But, stick to what you know. Always be entertaining.
The deal breaker is that Sony will totally trump this in not too distant future. They have to come up with something that is clearly the best buy not just catching up. The Z8 is the one worth buying but that's a whole lot more cost. In the meantime while Sony, Nikon and Canon compete, Panasonics are going for silly low money second hand. The Panasonics are undervalued.
I'm all for having as many dials and physical buttons as possible, but any dials on the left side of the body should be strictly "extra", redundant, or 100% customizable. Whatever function they control should either be able to be controlled by another button/dial on the right side of the camera, or be a function that would otherwise not have any physical dial/button at all. No mission-critical or frequently used functions should be placed over there, especially if that is going to be the only way to control that function.
Your color grading has drastically improved recently. Not sure if it’s 100% cinematch but I bet your viewers would like an updated behind the scenes of your new grading process and some talk about your shift from “I want the best straight out of camera for TH-cam hobos” to “I’m a color grading master look at the pop and rich colors! This hobos got a bow tie now”
Hmm, fair points... I don't really do birds yet, just bought a Panasonic G9ii so I can have longer rearch without giant lenses in addition to my Z6ii. I had a lot of complaints about the Panasonic ergonomicscompared to what I'm used to on Nikon, but never thought about using my right hand to turn that dial... Speaking of ergonomics I really wanted an Olympus OM-1, but the fact that they put the on/off switch on the left is compltely rediculos. How do you turn the camera on while your left hand is holding the lens and your right hand is holding the grip, I don't get it.
But could you catch the flying bird ?
Yes you right! , Nikon should move top lcd out.
All I want is the perfect camera 😢
why not just make a custom button on the right side?
This video looks like it’s in 720p
It’s true you need all the help you can get to snag those groundbreaking squirrel videos. I look forward to not watching you not struggle with that left side dial.
