The Nikon Z6 is Nikon's first-generation 24 MP full-frame mirrorless camera, aimed at enthusiasts and hybrid shooters moving over from a DSLR. Three things define it: a 24.5 MP full-frame sensor, 5-axis in-body stabilisation, and 273 hybrid autofocus points. It shoots at up to 12 fps, records 4K at up to 30p and weighs 585 g, with a single XQD card slot. Battery life is rated at about 380 shots per charge using the rear monitor. Compared with the Z6 II, it has one card slot instead of two, a top speed of 12 fps against 14 fps, and 4K limited to 30p.
