Nikon Z6 III announced with partially stacked 24.5MP CMOS, promising fast AF and EVF refresh rates
The new Nikon Z6III looks to be targeting Nikon’s traditional press customers, as well as high-end amateur users. As such, it’s a more sensible ‘back-up’ camera to the Nikon Z9 than the Z8, offering a smaller file from the 24.5 MP sensor and a good mix of video features for hybrid uses.

As such, it’s a more sensible ‘backup’ camera to the Nikon Z9 than the Z8, offering a smaller file from the 24.5MP sensor and a good mix of video features for hybrid uses. Will also appeal to action and wildlife photographers, given the fast AF and a good range of native mount telephoto lenses in Nikon’s range.

Nikon Z6 III teaser released
The formal announcement will be made on June 17th at 8.00 am ET. Besides some form of pre-capture, details remain sketchy (obvs). Still, the new camera is expected to retain a 24 MP CMOS sensor (though wouldn’t be surprised to see the sensor resolution move to 30 MP) but with improvements to the viewfinder, DR, AF and video.

Leica M11 Monochrom Review
Why Black & White? Photographing in Black & White or mono or greyscale or whatever you want to call it requires you to think differently than when photographing in colour. With a film camera, you can switch to B&W from colour and vice versa ad infinitum: the operation remains unchanged, allowing you to become accustomed to the camera and “see” either in light and shadows or in colour. In that respect, a modern digital colour camera echoes its predecessor, allowing you to choose between B&W and colour at will. However, a dedicated B&W camera like the Leica M11 Monochrom doesn’t; you’re forced to think in terms of light and shadows,…

Leica Q3 announced: 60MP BSI CMOS sensor and Tilting Screen
Update: Read my review of the Leica Q3 here. The Leica Q3 has been announced with a similar (but not identical) 60MP BSI CMOS sensor as the Leica M11 (and Sony A7 IV and V). The new model also features a fold-out LCD, which is the first significant departure in design for the Q. The price is £5,300 inc VAT. The new Leica Q3 features the triple-resolution feature (pixel binning from the native 60MP, giving a choice of 18MP and 36MP options) seen in the Leica M11. Leica says RAW files are around 70 MB, depending on the ISO/content, which appears to be lossless compressed RAW (DNG). In any case,…
