Earlier this week, Nikon announced the Z6 III to considerable fanfare, and for good reason. It packs so many features into a $2,500 system that it manages to be a camera that is more than a compromise, even at that price. But the Z6 series has always been accompanied by the Z7 series yet this time, that wasn't the case.
Lexar is bolstering its mid-range SD card options with three new capacity options. The Silver line, which sports solid max read and write speeds and a V30 rating, comes in 64GB, 128GB, and 256GB capacity options for as little as $15.

The addition of the $399 16mm wide-angle and 75mm telephoto lenses for the APS-C system complements existing 23mm, 33mm, and 56mm lenses, offering creatives a much more comprehensive set of tools to capture whatever life throws at them.
Arguably, the Sony a7 IV has been the top dog in the mid-range camera space since it released in late 2021. And it's an excellent camera, as is 2023's Canon EOS R6 II. However, the Nikon Z6 III does something those cameras haven't: be more than a compromise.
Nikon's Z6 III brings a lot of technologies to the table and packages them into a camera that seems purpose-built to win the $2,500, mid-range, full-frame camera fight. It may be priced to compete with the middle of the camera pack, but it's swinging punches like a flagship.
After much anticipation and rumors, the long-awaited Nikon Z6 III has finally arrived. Based on its features and performance, it appears that people's patience has been rewarded in a big way.
