UPDATE: Nikon Z6 Mark III Announcement on June 17 at 8 a.m. ET
As we get closer to the Nikon Z6 Mark III camera announcement, we are getting more related updates. The Camera was expected to arrive on June 11, 2024, But, Now we have a new date from the rumor mill and the camera may arrive on June 18, 2024. The good thing is the announcement will happen within a week, So I am super excited about this.
According to the Nikon Rumor mill the Nikon Z6 mark III camera is expected to arrive
- on or around June 11 (±1 day)
- on or around June 18 (±1 day)
There could be several reasons for the discrepancy:
- We may see a teaser for the new camera on June 11 and the official announcement on June 18 (the most likely scenario).
- June 11 could be the internal presentation, and June 18 the official announcement.
- June 11 could be the official announcement, and June 18 the actual shipping date.
- June 11 could be the development announcement (less likely).
- June 11 could be the announcement date, and pre-orders will open on June 18 (less likely).
- I am sure there are a few other scenarios I did not mention here, but you get the picture
UPDATE: From Nikon China
Dealers are invited for product testing on June 18 and are also open for registration for others. This usually happens after the official announcement of the camera. So, you can expect Z6 III will arrive before June 18, 2024.

As you can see in the table below, the Z6 Mark III camera features a newly developed 24.5 BSI FX-format full-frame Partially Stacked CMOS sensor with an upscaled design that enhances low-light performance and improved dynamic range compared to the sensor we have in the Nikon Zf/ Z6 II. The readout speed of the sensor also improved and
Dual Expeed 7 image processor: Inside the Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera, with the help of the new dual Expeed 7 image processor able to extract 6K video resolution up to 60 frames per second in 12-bit N-RAW format. Additionally, you can also shoot continuously up to 120 frames per second in DX crop mode, all due to the fabrication of the dual Expeed 7 image processor inside the Z6 Mark 3 camera body.
Sensor Readout Speed – Nikon Z6 III vs Nikon ZF
Recently announced Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera with its Partially stacked CMOS sensor is approximately 2.34x faster than the Nikon ZF 24 megapixel FX format sensor. So we are not commenting on the image quality here; of course, we will compare the image quality when the samples of the camera come out. But at the very same time, based on the readout speed of both cameras, the overall calculation that we are getting is that the Z6 Mark 3 camera is at least 2.34x faster than the ZF sensor, resulting in less rolling shutter effect in motion pictures and images.
The readout speed of the Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera while capturing 4K 60p video in 10-bit mode is approximately 9.4 milliseconds, whereas the readout speed of Nikon ZF camera while capturing 4K videos at 4k 30p Video in 10 bit is approximately 22 milliseconds, which is approximately 2.34x more than the Z6 Mark 3 camera. As shown in the calculation above. As we know, Nikon cameras are not able to capture 6kps Raw videos, so the readout speed is not available for that specific set of data.
5.76 million-dot electronic viewfinder: This helps photographers capture perfect decisive moments with a single click. It provides the vision and accuracy needed by professional photographers. No one else in the competition uses such a high-resolution electronic viewfinder in their cameras.
Continuous Shooting Speed
14 FPS mechanical shutter and 20 FPS electronic shutter in full resolution: When shooting in NRAW, the maximum continuous shooting speed is 14 frames per second with the mechanical shutter and up to 20 frames per second with the electronic shutter. The maximum shooting speed can be obtained is 120 frames per second with the electronic shutter in DX mode.
The camera will feature the same artificial intelligence image stabilization algorithms as seen in the Nikon ZF camera, The IBIS center moves along with the AF point of the camera, so you get a true 8 Stops of IBIS from your camera. So, Nikon Z6 Mark 3 camera exhibits a class-leading image stabilization system that no competitor offers at this present time.
The autofocus is said to be much improved compared to the existing Nikon Z8 autofocus tracking algorithms. The autofocus coverage on the sensor is approximately 100%, which is not even possible with the latest Nikon ZF camera, which has a coverage of approximately 90% of the frame. The Z6 Mark 3 camera’s autofocus tracking mechanism has been upscaled to match the performance of competitors like Sony and Canon.
In terms of video resolution, the camera is able to record 6K videos up to 60 frames per second in N-RAW format internally on CFexpress Type B cards. For everything recorded in RAW, it is recommended to use CFexpress Type B cards. 4K recording up to 120 frames per second is available in DX mode.
Price-wise, the camera costs more than the Nikon ZF, so it’s now decision time. If the extended set of features, such as enhanced video core specifications or the maximum burst speed of up to 120 frames per second, matter to you, then you should invest in the Z6 Mark 3 camera. Otherwise, the Nikon ZF is still a good option with extensive manual control.

Above, we have some new information about the Z6III, and it looks like it will be a high-performance machine with improvements in all areas, including video mode, continuous recording time, continuous shooting speed, EVF resolution, and AF performance. It has been stated that the Z6III will be the best camera in its class, and it certainly looks like it will be a fairly high-spec model for the mid-range.
However, one thing that concerns me is the price, 3,000 euros (the Zf is 2,550 euros on Amazon Germany), which is a bit high for a mid-range device. Btw., lets wait and see what happend next, if we get any new information we will post an update.

Finally, Sigma has announced the world’s first full-frame zoom lens with constant aperture, the Sigma 28-45mm F1.8 Art is a perfect lens made for shooting cinematic portraits, a perfect lens for professional wedding photographers and cinematographers
B&H Store | Amazon.com
Introducing the SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art, the First Full-Frame F1.8 Zoom Lens for Mirrorless Camera Systems
Ronkonkoma, NY – June 3, 2024 – SIGMA Corporation of America, the US subsidiary of SIGMA Corporation (CEO: Kazuto Yamaki. Headquarters: Asao-ku, Kawasaki-shi, Kanagawa, Japan) is pleased to announce the SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art lens. This is the world’s first zoom lens with a constant F1.8 aperture for full-frame mirrorless camera systems. Available for Sony E-mount and L-Mount, this new wide-to-standard zoom spans several popular focal lengths from 28mm to 45mm, with image quality comparable to prime lenses.
The SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art was developed as a full-frame successor to the SIGMA 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM | Art (for APS-C DSLR cameras), which in 2013 became the first lens in the world to achieve F1.8 throughout the entire zoom range.
While offering the convenience of a zoom, this new lens does not compromise on optical performance. By effectively arranging 3 aspherical lens elements and 5 SLD glass elements, this lens suppresses various aberrations and achieves performance comparable to single focal length lenses, even surpassing the SIGMA 24mm F1.4 DG DN | Art and SIGMA 50mm F1.4 DG DN | Art, which have an established reputation for their optical quality.
In particular, the 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art focuses on suppressing axial chromatic aberration, which is often noticeable in large-aperture lenses, to achieve images with minimal coloration on both the focus plane and bokeh, and to demonstrate high optical performance from open aperture. The minimum focusing distance is 30cm (11.8 inches) throughout the entire range, and the maximum magnification ratio of 1:4 is achieved at the 45mm focal length.
Featuring internal zoom and HLA (High-response Linear Actuator) autofocus, and an optical design that minimizes focus breathing, the SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art is well-suited for video work, including gimbal setups, thanks to its balanced design. The click/de-click switch and lockable aperture ring are designed to suit a variety of personal capture preferences, and the dust- and splash-resistant design also makes it suitable for shooting stills and video out in the elements.
The SIGMA 28-45mm F1.8 DG DN | Art lens will be available for $1,349 through authorized retailers in the US in late June 2024.
