We’ve reported on leaks about the upcoming Nikon Z6 III on several occasions over the past few weeks, and as the launch gets closer, leaks will increase in frequency. However, the latest leak coming from Nikon China (via Nikon Rumors) has given us a look at the front of the new full-frame mirrorless camera.
While, as expected, not much appears to have changed the form factor of the Z6 III camera, there are a few design tweaks to differentiate it from the Nikon Z6 II (currently marked down to $1,596.95 on Amazon). For starters, the strap lugs have been moved and are now symmetrical, rather than the diagonal right attachment point of the Z6 II.
Secondly, and more interestingly, the Z6 III’s EVF tower has been redesigned. While this may be an entirely aesthetic choice, Nikon’s official teaser for the upcoming June 17 release specifically talks about better visibility in bright situations, indicating that a brighter or larger EVF may also be in the cards. cards.
“In a bright situation, if I can see better, I can create better.”
This is, however, pure speculation, as there have been no previous leaks indicating any improvements to the EVF for the Z6 III, and even the Z6 II is on par with cameras from the likes of the Sony A7 IV and the Panasonic S5 II when it comes to EVF specifications.
The Z6 III is expected to put up a solid fight against its other full-frame hybrid camera with 6K video, 7- or 8-stop IBIS, and dual Expeed 7 processors for top-notch autofocus and burst speeds.
Nikon’s launch event will take place during a YouTube premiere of on June 17 at 8 AM EST (12 PM GMT).
