Creators who love photography share their stories with their cameras. The presence of a 'beloved camera' reflects each individual's life and values. In this series, we feature Masa, who is a devoted user of the Nikon Z6III.
Masa, who has a strong attachment to his beloved camera and loves every detail, talks about the potential of the Nikon Z6III to transform the act of shooting into a highly satisfying experience. We explore the charm of his beloved camera, filled with craftsmanship, as seen through daily photography.
Nikon Z6III Basic Information
The Nikon Z6III is equipped with a full-frame CMOS sensor with 24.5 million effective pixels and supports an ISO sensitivity range of 100 to 64000. It can shoot at a high-speed continuous shooting rate of approximately 20 frames per second, ensuring you don't miss fast-moving subjects. With 5-axis image stabilization, stable photos can be taken even when shooting handheld. It also supports 6K 60p video recording, allowing for high-quality creations in both still images and videos. It excels in a variety of scenes, including landscapes, sports, and portraits.
A Perfect Fit
I still remember how surprisingly well the Nikon Z6III fit when I first held it. Although it is significantly larger than the cameras I have used before, it somehow felt familiar.
Later, when I learned that many veteran photographers praised Nikon for its excellent grip, I felt a strange sense of agreement within myself.

Respect for Craftsmanship
Of course, taking good photos is important, but feeling a respect for craftsmanship is also a crucial point for me when choosing a camera.
For example, the response when the shutter is pressed. The pleasant feedback felt by the index finger and the crisp shutter sound transform the act of shooting into a highly satisfying experience.

It is the satisfaction of an adult hobby, knowing you are using something good.
Largest Mount Diameter and Precise Weight
The same can be felt from the 'weight' of the Z series. Honestly, Z mount cameras and lenses are large and heavy. If you prioritize ease of use, other companies' mirrorless cameras are superior.
This is because the Z mount adopts the industry's largest mount diameter to enable the development of a new dimension of bright lenses. As a result, the lenses naturally become larger.

Furthermore, to expand the freedom of optical design, it also adopts the industry's shortest flange back, which makes the mechanical dimensions on the body side precise.
Relentless Curiosity and Affection
Knowing this fact, the weight of the Z mount can be seen as stemming from a relentless curiosity for optical technology.
For me, the weight of the Z mount seems to be a respect for craftsmanship itself, and every time I hold the Z6III, it feels like a beloved partner.
