The Nikon Z6 III is rumored to have a stacked sensor (or partially stacked?) from Sony. That same sensor is expected to be used in the upcoming Sony a7S IV, rumored to be announced later this year. I was told that Nikon got a special and exclusive contract with Sony and only Nikon and Sony will use this specific sensor. Nikon had to buy a lot of them in order for Sony to agree on exclusivity. This explains the rumored high price of the Z6 III.
Nikon is pushing strongly for a larger video market share (RED acquisition).
I also keep getting hints that the EVF of the Z6 III will be greatly improved. One tipster even suggested that it will be the best EVF currently available on the market.
All rumors for now. Come back here tomorrow morning at 8 am EST for the final reveal and pre-order options.
