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.

Nikon Z6 III released as scheduled – The following set of information coming out from the trusted source E8M_8888.
Many dealers have said that they are sure not to release it in May.
period =its month =July 2024
Update: Shipping from July
That’s all the update we have related to the Nikon Z6 Mark III
— ENd of rumor —
Nikon Z6 III Got Wireless Certification in January month and as usual Camera makers take roughly 3 Months of time of release their registered product, but Nikon Z6 III has now registered for more than three months, Let’s hope to see the camera on or before July 2024.
Update: Nikon Z6 III shipping will start from July 2024
By admin, on May 21st, 2024
There lot of discussion has been circulating on the Internet following our post where we published the registration details of three new cameras after the Z6 Mark III camera registration. This raised questions from users who commented on our website and the rumor mill, suggesting that these registrations are not new, specifically the three registrations that appeared after the Z6 Mark 3 camera. Is this true? Let’s find out.
In 2024 The 1834 Model Code Used to Register a Bluetooth Device (No WiFi inside the device )
The Orginal P950 Reg Certificate shows it also has WLAN capabilities (WiFi)
The 1834 Model Used by Nikon P950 – Digital Camera
The mistake made by the camera maker, which users did not notice while pointing out that all three are older generation cameras, is the Nikon P950 registration model code name, 1834, which was registered back in 2022 with WiFi – WLAN 2.4 Ghz. Nikon has used the same model code to trick us, but the major mistake they made was using that particular model code for a Bluetooth device in 2024. If they were renewing a particular product, both products should share similar wireless capabilities, but the new N1834 mode doesn’t have WiFi inside it,. It’s very clear from this incident that the camera maker is reusing its old model codes for their new products. This particular incident reveals their future strategy. I hope this clears up any confusion.
And yes, there is a strong chance that all three models are old and Nikon is just upgrading the certification time, let’s hope for the best.
