Nikon Z system reviews and articles.
One of the great things about the Nikon Z6III (which I reviewed here) is that it really doesn’t require much to be incredibly comfortable, durable and give professional results. Unlike some of my Fuji bodies, where I needed to add grips and other accessories, the Z6III really doesn’t require much at all. This is one … Read more
Update — May 2026 I’ve now been using the Nikon Z8 alongside the Nikon Z6 III for months here in Scotland, as well as previously in the Philippines, and I continue to be impressed with both the camera and Nikon’s Z-mount lenses. Since moving to Scotland, I’ve naturally spent more time shooting landscapes and wildlife, … Read more
Fujifilm X-T5 vs Nikon Z6III – Which Should You Buy? Last Updated: May 2026 I’ve continued shooting with both the Fujifilm X-T5 and Nikon Z6III since first publishing this comparison, alongside cameras like the Nikon Z8, Nikon Zf and Fujifilm GFX100S. That extra use has made the differences between these two cameras clearer rather than … Read more
Last Updated: May 2026 I’ve continued shooting extensively with both the Nikon Z 35mm f/1.8 S and Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S across multiple Nikon bodies including the Zf, Z6III and Z8. Since originally publishing this article, I’ve used them for family photography, travel, everyday carry and landscape work here in Scotland as well as … Read more
35mm is the focal length I always come back to. I own a 35mm (or the equivalent) in every system I shoot, so it’s a critical lens for me — and for a lot of photographers who want a single prime they can rely on day in, day out. The question is: does the Nikon … Read more
Note that this article is more about how the cameras make you feel and shoot. I did a detailed comparison of the Fuji X-T5 vs Nikon Z6III here. I also compared the Nikon Z6III vs Nikon Z8. I recently wrote about why the Nikon ZF is an important camera and will compare it with the … Read more
Last updated: April 2026 — tested with the Nikon Z6III, Zf and Z8 in real-world use. Ah, another 50mm f/1.8 lens. Great… but wait — this one’s different. My first 50mm was the plastic-fantastic Canon 50mm f/1.8 back on a humble 450D. I’m not knocking it — it was great value, and at that point … Read more
Last Updated 1st November 2025: The Fujifilm X-T2 was really where I believe Fuji started to get things right with their cameras. The X-T1 showed a lot of promise and the X-Pro1 was magical but flawed. The X-T2 improved things in many areas and it was a camera that I really enjoyed shooting and owning. … Read more
Last updated 1st November 2025:It’s funny looking back over this older article now and seeing that these three brands are still the main systems I shoot today. I’m currently using the OM System OM-3, OM-1 Mark II, Fuji X-T5, X100VI, GFX100S, plus the Nikon Z6III and Z8. I still get cold sweats thinking about this … Read more
