Today I received delivery of my new Nikon Z6iii (saved a few bucks on an open box copy). I went to a small Tucson preserve to test it out. Charts show it has less noise at high ISO than my high megapixel Z8 (and the equally high megapixel Z7ii). I was able to photograph a couple small animals at dusk and wow. This is my new low light monster. All photos are out of camera JPEG, first shot entire scene and second shot cropped. I set the menu to high ISO noise reduction low.

Congrats, Fred, on the new toy. May it live up to your expectations!

Wondering which charts are you referring to?

Topaz Photo AI eats noise then laughs at me for feeding it. Honestly that program is wonderful, makes short work of high ISO images.

I'm glad you like the camera. It looks like a winner. He does gives that caveat there not to use the charts to compare cameras. I think because the other charts he has, PDR for example, normalizes the results to give a fairer comparison. Still the z6iii compares very well.
