Mirrorless Camera Without Viewfinder

If you haven't jumped into the mirrorless bandwagon, this is the perfect ticket. Amazing viewfinder, and the camera just feels right in my hands. Love it!

The Nikon Z6 is a fantastic camera. I purchased a Nikon D7100 6 years ago which has been great and I was looking to upgrade to a full frame FX camera. I never thought about going mirrorless until I saw that there was a great deal on the Z6 at B&H. The mirrorless cameras have the same benefits as the DSLRs with a few differences. They are smaller, lighter, have a larger lens mount (Z Mount), and the electronic viewfinder allows you to see you're image in real time before you even take the picture. There is also no mirror slap which makes the shutter less noisy and reduces camera shake. A few drawbacks for me is that there is no built in flash which means there is no way to trigger an external flash without an add on flash trigger system, and there is no internal focus motor which means you have to focus manually if you use a lens without a built in focus motor. I must say that the focus peaking highlights which allows you to manually focus by viewing the screen or viewfinder and watching what area the camera highlights works phenomenally and I had no problem focusing my 50mm Nikkor f/1.4 manually under normal conditions. However, this would be in issue if trying to shoot something fast paced like sports/ action with a manual focus lens. All in all these few minor setbacks would not warrant me rating this camera less than 5 stars. My experience with the Nikon Z6 has been nothing but positive. I feel that Nikon has continued their trend of crafting fine camera equipment and I believe this Nikon Z6 will stand the test of time in extreme conditions just like my other Nikons have in the past.

This camera is AMAZING. The low light performance, the ability to go mirrorless or use optical viewfinder, the quality of the raw files, the deep menus with lots of choices to customize: itʻs a great camera that puts out a stunning product.   I have had several Nikons and this D780 is hands down my favorite. I prefer it to the D850 (supposedly a better camera but not in my humble opinion) and the D7500 (not a better camera so maybe not fair to compare).  It is bigger and heavier than the D7500, but that size gives you so much more power that it is worth it. Iʻm pleased with the 24-120 lens as well, especially since this combo allows you to buy the lens for only $500 (itʻs normally $1,100).

I attached the GV-1 External Viewfinder by Ricoh to my Ricoh GR's hot shoe and it fit perfectly. It is very stable and is removable when you want the hot shoe for something else, or just want the bare camera. It presents a great alternative viewfinder to the camera's picture display, especially when lighting conditions render it difficult to view. My husband loves the external viewfinder because he doesn't have to put on his glasses to see the view when he is taking pictures. I highly recommend the GV-1!

Sure glad I had this camera strap. Without it, I would have dropped my new camera at least twice already.

All I ever wanted in a Mirrorless Camera.

I use this with my 4x5 field camera. It is very handy and I can see clearly through my viewfinder on the back of the camera.

This chamois eyepiece has really made looking through my cine camera viewfinder much better.

Without the camera strap you hardly notice these. I bought these so I could share my camera strap with other camera bodies.

Works hard and long. Without it , all the camera becomes is a paperweight
