• 7 or 8-stop VR (same system as the Nikon ℤf)
• Pixel-shift (previously reported here)
• CFexpress+SD memory cards
• PSAM Dial
• Hybrid body design between the ℤ6 and ℤ8 (bigger than the current ℤ6/7 but smaller than the ℤ8) – see this post
• The playback button is in the same place as ℤ8 (bottom right), as opposed to ℤ6II, which is on the top left side of the camera
• Camera body size and overall dimension are similar to the Nikon ℤ6II: 3-5mm longer width becuase of the LCD hinge and a few mm thicker
• The overall height (bottom to the EVF) remains the same but the actual camera is 2-3mm taller
• The grip button layouts and design look similar to the Nikon ℤ8 apart from the command dial which is the same as the ℤ6II
• All other button layouts are the same as the ℤ6II
• The ℤ6III logo is on the top, just like on the ℤ8/ℤ9

• The ℤ6III body overall is about 30-40g heavier than the Z6II
• The ℤ6III body inherits the design from the ℤ8 – this is why a few months ago I reported it as a mini-ℤ8 (the  Nikon ℤ6III is a mini ℤ8, the  Nikon ℤ8 was a mini ℤ9)

• HDMI A version 2.1 (full-size HDMI)

• The current Nikon ℤ6II will be in production until the end of the year (heavily discounted)
• A new version of Nikon NX Studio with support for the ℤ6 III is expected to be released soon
