SUMMARY
The author expresses regret over purchasing a Nikon Z8 before the Z6 III's announcement, believing the Z6 III offers better value, size, and resolution for their needs. While the Z8 is technically superior and a 'dream camera,' its size and cost make it less portable than the Z6 III. The Z6 III, described as a 'Baby Z8,' features a partially stacked sensor, fast autofocus, and a high-quality EVF, making it a more practical choice for many photographers despite the Z8's advanced capabilities.
TAKEAWAYS
The Nikon Z6 III is considered a better value and size option compared to the Nikon Z8 for many photographers.
The Z8's higher resolution can lead to image quality issues due to camera shake, while the Z6 III's 24.5MP sensor is more forgiving.
The Z8 is larger and heavier, making the Z6 III more portable for everyday use.
Choosing a camera should prioritize individual use cases over simply selecting the most technically advanced or expensive option.
