Nikon Z63 Review: Autofocus, 6K RAW, Stabilization & Value

Today on Film Riot, we dive into the Nikon Z63, a camera that's making waves in the video world. Nikon, known for its recent acquisition of RED, sent us this bad boy to put through its paces. No extra gear, just raw shooting to see if it's got the chops. And let me tell you, this thing ain't playing around. Autofocus in the dark, 6K RAW shooting, and a color palette that's a dream to work with. It's like a Swiss Army knife of filmmaking.

But the real kicker here is the autofocus. Smooth, precise, and more reliable than a Swiss watch. Even in low light, this thing tracks like a bloodhound on a scent. And let's talk about that ISO performance - it's a bit of a rollercoaster, but hey, it gets the job done. Stabilization? Killer. Two modes, normal and sport, catering to every shooting style. And the battery life? Surprisingly solid, even when pushing it to the limits with 6K RAW.

Audio features, physical design, and a menu system that's as intuitive as a well-oiled machine. The Z63 is a beast in a compact package. And when it comes to post-processing, this camera sings. From correcting noise to adding that perfect style, it's a filmmaker's dream. In a nutshell, if you're in the market for a top-tier camera without breaking the bank, the Nikon Z63 should be right up there on your list. So, grab your popcorn, hit that subscribe button, and let's dive deeper into this cinematic marvel.
