Nikon Z6 in-depth analysis by Fran Russo (Website | Instagram):
I have read in several places that the battery only allows 300 pictures. This is a complete lie. With a single battery, I am able to shoot more than 5,500 photographs without recharging. All were shot in RAW. I also had activated the stabilizer in normal and sport. The camera was in airplane mode. I do not know if this affects a lot.
I think that only using the electronic viewfinder, you could easily shoot 7000 or 8000 photographs. In addition, I must note that I used a 2-year-old battery that I used to use for my old Nikon d750 for the test.
Nikon Photo Recovery: How to recover your lost or corrupt photos and videos
DSLRs have long made their way into the professional photography industry. The past few years have also seen a rise in DSLRs’ popularity in the consumer segment. Seemingly, social sharing and urban lifestyle trends along with the need to capture high-res images are driving this mainstream demand for DSLRs.
The optics and imaging tech leaders in the industry have been nimble on picking these demand cues and innovating more advanced DSLR cameras for the end consumer. Quite a few state-of-the-art devices have been rolled out in recent years with a sterling mix of technology and engineering. For instance, Nikon D850 is a full-frame DSLR that combines a 45.7 megapixel sensor with high-speed continuous shooting at up to 7 fps with just the camera body.
Surprisingly, on the flipside of this incredible leap in DSLR imaging technology and functional innovations, there’s an evident lag in terms of— how reliably the media recorded with DSLRs can be preserved, without getting corrupt or lost.
