Nikon capture nx d reviews1/28/2024 ![]() The 24-70mm I primarily used had one design feature I could live without. Particularly impressive is the image sharpness of the prime lenses at maximum aperture. Noise is automatically reduced at all exposures, and the files look cleaner than manually reducing the luminance and color noise in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.Īlong with the Nikon Z 6, I was able to test the full complement of available Z-series lenses: the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S, Nikkor Z 35mm f/1.8 S, and Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.8 S. Captures appear as good or better than they looked in camera. Capture NX-D performs its magic when you first open the raw file. Raw files from the Z 6 are visibly better after processing in Capture NX-D than in Adobe products, and they take less effort. I can’t explain it, but captures with my 70-200mm f/2.8 F-mount Nikkor at f/2.8 just seemed sharper using the Z 6. Exposure is biased to capturing highlight information, but the dynamic range leaves plenty of space to bring up noise-free shadow. Dynamic range is outstanding, even extending into the high ISOs. ![]() Images from my old 16mm full-frame fisheye have never looked better.Ĭolor is natural, with the slight Nikon bias to warm tones. Maybe it’s a placebo effect, but I swear the captures I made with my F-series lenses, even those dating back to the 1970s, look better from the Z 6 than they ever have before. The Z 6, both with Z-series and F-series lenses, delivers outstanding image quality. It was when I was tracking birds with a handheld AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR lens with the FTZ adapter that I realized how well designed the Z 6 body is for a huge range of situations. Compact and light with a grippy raised extension for my thumb, it was everything I expected a mirrorless camera to be. When I unpacked the Z 6 and mounted the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens, the system felt right in my hand. The Nikon Z 6 solves these issues while providing nearly all the benefits of the D5. I was sorely tempted to purchase a Nikon D5 as my next upgrade, but its weight, cost, somewhat undersized 20.8-megapixel sensor, and sound level deterred me. While no single camera is the perfect answer for every photographer in every situation, this one addresses many of my needs, and, I think, would probably address many of yours. ![]() Having had a Nikon Z 6 on loan for an extended period, I’m reluctant to return it.
