But the Z6 immediately felt good in the hand as well as feeling well made and robust. I have handled Sony mirrorless cameras previously and have never liked the feel of their cameras – the grips. It’s small and lightweight, and the grip is undoubtedly a Nikon grip, so it handles brilliantly. The Z6 has been the perfect camera for capturing these images. I’ve been taking more personal photographs than I had done for many years. I’ve barely touched my D850 or D5 in the last 6 months and my DF is safely tucked away in its box. And the camera I’ve found myself reaching for every day is the Z6. So, I have sadly found myself shooting less professionally this year, but still shooting a lot for fun – natural images of my own family. I am writing this review mid-2020, during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. It’s a fun camera to use in any setting in fact and much of that is down to ergonomics, design and handling.

Now, I could definitely try to write this with more erudition – but when it comes down to it, there is no doubting that the Z6 is ‘fun’ to use and that’s a word I’ll be re-using in this review several times. So in all, the Z6 is robust and, despite being very light, is still extremely well made as you would expect from a Nikon camera. All weather-sealed and covered in rubber (unlike the Sony mirrorless models, which leave more metal elements to the design exposed). There’s also an almost retro look to it – it, in fact, reminded me of a Black Nikon DF.īuild quality of the Nikon Z6 is excellent. The Nikon Z6 is, without doubt, ‘a Nikon camera’. In time, I’ve ended up using it far as more than just a backup though.īut going back to when I first bought the camera and unboxed it – I was immediately struck by its appearance.

My D4s was without a doubt more than well used by this point and rather than buy another D850, I decided to try the Nikon Z6 and use it as my main backup camera on professional jobs. When the Z6 was released, I was so intrigued to see how successful Nikon’s first foray into the mirrorless market had been.

I also had a Nikon DF and Nikon D4s as backup cameras (the D4s since being sold on).

I bought the Nikon Z6 back at the beginning of 2019, to go alongside my main cameras: a Nikon D5 and Nikon D850. Nikon Z6 – image taken with a Nikon D850.
