Nikon introduced a new Z6 III camera with no wireless connectivity (no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity, physically disabled). This means you cannot connect it to a smartphone, use the Nikon SnapBridge app, or transfer photos wirelessly. The price is $2,379.95 – this is $383 more expensive than a regular Z6 III model ($1,996.95).
| Version | Wireless | Typical Buyers | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Z6 III | Full Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) + Bluetooth 5.0 | Consumers, pros, content creators | Uses SnapBridge + advanced network features (FTP, etc.) |
| Z6 III “No Wireless Connectivity” (B&H model 2036) | None (physically disabled) | Government agencies, SCIF facilities, law enforcement, secure studios | Same imaging performance, just no radio modules |
