This 24.5-megapixel partially-stacked CMOS sensor is a revolutionary design that sets it apart from conventional image sensors. This innovative architecture features multiple high-speed processing circuits stacked in layers above and below the imaging area, enabling blistering readout speeds that unlock a host of performance-enhancing features.

The Featured Highlights of the nikon Z6iii:

24MP "Partially Stacked" CMOS sensor
14fps with mech shutter, 20fps e-shutter up to 1000 Raw files
In-body image stabilization rated at up to 8.0 stops

At the heart of the Nikon Z6III lies a groundbreaking 24.5-megapixel partially-stacked CMOS sensor, the first of its kind in a mirrorless camera. This innovative sensor design, combined with Nikon's powerful EXPEED 7 image processing engine, delivers unprecedented performance and speed. The unique sensor architecture, with high-speed data processing circuits stacked above and below the imaging area, enables the Z6III to achieve readout speeds that are approximately 3.5 times faster than its predecessor, the Z6II. This lightning-fast performance unlocks a host of impressive capabilities. Photographers can capture fleeting moments with confidence, thanks to the Z6III's blistering continuous shooting speeds of up to 120 frames per second (fps) in JPEG format and 20 fps in RAW. The camera's expansive buffer allows for the capture of over 1,000 consecutive shots, ensuring you never miss the perfect shot.

The Nikon Z6III's sensor and processing prowess also shine in its video capabilities. The camera can record stunning 6K/60p internal RAW video, as well as oversampled 4K UHD footage at up to 60p. For slow-motion enthusiasts, the Z6III can capture Full HD video at an impressive 240p, allowing for 10x slow-motion playback. Nikon's Pre-Release Capture feature allows photographers to capture the decisive moment with confidence. By holding the shutter release button halfway, the camera starts buffering images, saving shots taken up to one second before the shutter is fully pressed.

Nikon has carried over the advanced autofocus technology from its flagship Z8 and Z9 models, ensuring the Z6III delivers exceptional focus performance. The camera's 273-point hybrid autofocus system, with enhanced subject detection and tracking capabilities, is approximately 20% faster than the previous-generation Z6II. The Z6III's autofocus system can automatically detect and track a wide range of subjects, including people, animals, birds, airplanes, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and trains. This advanced subject recognition, powered by Nikon's Deep Learning technology, ensures accurate focus even in challenging situations.

The Nikon Z6III boasts a truly impressive electronic viewfinder (EVF) that sets new standards for mirrorless cameras. With a class-leading 5,760k-dot resolution and a maximum brightness of 4,000 nits, this EVF provides an exceptionally clear, detailed, and vibrant viewing experience. Complementing the impressive EVF is a 3.2-inch, 2,100k-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD, which offers a wide 170-degree viewing angle and intuitive touch controls for seamless operation, whether shooting from high or low angles or recording video.

Lens Recommendations for Underwater:

Olympus 60mm Macro - fast focusing and stunning macro
Panasonic 8mm Fisheye - perfect wide angle option for reefs, wrecks, and close focus wide angle
Panasonic 7-14mm Wide Angle - Awesome for pelagics, sharks, and landscape photos. Wide angle when you do not want the wide fisheye view and zoom offers more flexibility if you can't get right up close to your subject.
Panasonic 45mm Macro- High quality macro lens
Olympus 9-18mm Wide Angle - great for pelagics, and wide angle when you do not want the wide fisheye view. Zoom offers more flexibility if you can't get right up close to your subject.
Olympus 12-50mm - a good mid-range zoom option. Offers built in macro mode that is compatible with the Nauticam housing
