The Z5ll and performs better in our test than the retro model Zf or the Z6ll, which was cheaper at the time of going to press. Although it doesn't quite come close to the Z6lll in the overall ranking, it currently has the bird AF, which Nikon will probably soon add to the more expensive model via a firmware update.
Product details

Overall ratingVery good97/100
The Leica SL3-S leaves a very good impression when tested. Small weaknesses in the AI autofocus and the pixel shift mode should be able to be rectified with a firmware update. Whether Leica will tackle this quickly remains to be seen - the SL3's animal autofocus has been in the beta phase for over a year...
The Nikon Z6lll represents a major advance over its predecessor. The new partially stacked CMOS sensor allows for higher speed and reduced rolling shutter effects with electronic shutter. The new viewfinder is also outstanding. The image quality impressed us with its outstanding noise behaviour...
Very good100/100
After the Z6ll represented a small step forward compared to the first Z6, Nikon has once again achieved a major success with the Z6ll. The camera impressed us across the board: features, speed, image quality and video are at the highest level and justify the exceptional rating of "Super"...
Very good94/100
- Fast processor
- Optimised autofocus
- Robust and sealed housing
- Video features up to 6K RAW
- Battery a little small
The full-frame Nikon Z6III camera impresses in the CHIP test as a strong further development of the Nikon Z 6 II. Highlights include the precise autofocus, high speed when taking photos and filming and other extensive video features. The high-quality housing with high-resolution, bright viewfinder and the flexible swivelling display are also impressive...
Very good99/100
- With its extremely fast image sensor and processor system, the camera ensures flexible application options for all photo subjects. The workmanship and handling are first-class and the image quality is excellent. It also delivers high-quality video material.
- Charging the battery via USB-C should not be the only solution included in the scope of delivery. The purchase of an external charger is recommended. The slightly higher energy consumption minimally limits the operating time compared to the Z6ll. The successor offers no improvement here.
With a recommended retail price of 2,999 euros, the new Nikon Z6IlI is not an entry-level camera. Rather, it can be seen as a lower-resolution version of the Nikon Z8 and is 1,000 euros cheaper than it. For those who can live with the resolution of 24 megapixels, it is almost a bargain with its excellent value for money...
