Like a virgin on her wedding night, I was full of the the anticipation, of exposing it; fondling it; and shivering at the pleasure it would give me, not only now but for sometime to come, be it a quickie, or a long session. who cares, both are as satisfying as each other.
I was slobbering with anticipation my heart racing, all the books on what to do how to do it and what to expect have been read, the only thing to do was to do it.
It has been a couple of years, now since i went through these emotions, but I was made an offer I couldn't refuse, only a fool would walk away. So lets cut to the chase. jumped in the car, went to my regular camera shop, handed over the Z6II, walked out with the III, simple. Nikon currently offering £400 discount on the body was the perfect time and a generous part ex swap meant I virtually got it at half the normal Nikon price!! Kerfuckingchiing.
The box was opened
The contents taken out, the only thing of use was the battery, Nikon in their eco-agenda mode no longer include a charger, the battery is charged in the camera, using the USB-C cable, what a load of bollocks. I can use a full battery in under a day. Time to get on Amazon and get a third pary charger and spare batteries. Fuck Nikon.
Anyways onto the main event the Z6 III, body, the most important feature for me is the twin axis monitor, which replaces the pretty pointless tilt on the Z6II, It is slightly heavier by about 2ozs, which is hardly noticeable. Still slim still comfortable for my big hands and sausage fingers.
The back buttons although moved around have the same functions.There have been some upgrades under the bonnet, the EVF boasting a 5.76M-dot, 120Hz refresh rate, an analogy would be comparing a bog standard TV to watching a top of the range OLED. Yet to experience the upgraded auto-focus system but it is supposed to be a massive leap forward.
I did feel a little guilty, saying goodbye to my Z6 II, it had been a brilliant workhorse, and my first venture into "mirrorless". When I part exed it, apparently I had taken 22,700 shots since Feb 22. I need to slow down!
So, locked and loaded, breathing becoming shallower, face flushing slightly the all over tingle is upon her. The night has just begun.
