What you are asking for is Open Gate, not no crop (crop means a crop in from full sensor width in terms of video specs, non-standard aspect ratios at full sensor area is called Open Gate in the video world)
Nikon only offers 16:9 aspect ratios, but no crop for 4K up to 60p on the Z6iii (unlike the competition other than the R6mII which otherwise all have an APS-C crop for 50p/60p)
The only full frame cameras in this pricerange with Open gate recording are the S5II(X) and S9.
Yes I know. But 16:9 is still a crop (you remove around 16% of the resolution/pixels). The camera manufacturers aren't calling it cropping, but it is.
In video parlance, that is an aspect ratio, not a crop. A crop implies a zoom factor.
It does have a zoom factor since the vertical FOV changes. If you shoot with a 35mm lens with a full frame sensor and crop it to 16:9, you will end up with a 35mm horizontal focal length and a 41.5mm equivalent focal length on the vertical field.
No matter what you call it, it's a crop.
