Nirupam Nigam of Bluewater Photo Store took the first production underwater housing for the incredible new Nikon Z6 III mirrorless camera for a test dive in the kelp forests of the Southern California's Channel Islands.
The Nikon Z6 III features a new partially stacked sensor and the same autofocus system found in the flagship Z9 and Z8 professional cameras. Nirupam says the Z6 III “may well be the ideal mid-range full-frame mirrorless camera for hybrid photo and video shooters" noting its state of the art autofocus system, fast sensor readout speeds, 8-stop in-body stabilization, and 6K RAW video. Read Nirupam's full Nikon Z6 III review for a more in-depth look.
