Boy, this whole Z6 III dynamic range thing is spiraling out of control. PetaPixel, YouTube, DPreview and others are going nuts about it with 2-3 articles about the same thing. I don't recall them making a big deal when Sony introduced stacked sensors that lagged in DR and low light vs their BSI CMOS sensors. According to Photons to Photos, the Z6 III is close to the performance of the A9 II and A7S III in DR. I watched others put the Z6 II and Z6 III side by side, over and under exposed 5 stops and had no difference in IQ. Idk what's going on here... smear campaign? If you search Z6 III on Google, the 3rd most searched comes up as Z6 III dynamic range. Searching Z6 III on YouTube, the first suggestion is Z6 III Dynamic Range. Crazy
Hrm, "smear campaign"? I'm personally glad—thrilled, even—to see that this product is garnering such attention, helps us shoppers know in advance the pluses and minuses of what we're considering to spend out hard-earned dollars on!
To put some perspective on this, when I was shopping for my first Lumix S1 it seemed that very few online folks could, er, "be bothered" to even look into, let alone, actually post such in-depth pluses/minuses testing like what folks shopping for Nikon gear are clearly getting to enjoy! It actually took me more than one train ride into the city and walks downtown to B&H for some actual hands-on for myself before deciding between S1 and S1R and S1H...it's sooo much easier this time around trying to decide between a Z8 and Z6III!
