The Nikon Z6 features a 0.5-inch 3.6-million dot Quad-VGA electronic viewfinder (EVF) with an impressive magnification of 0.80x, which edges out the Sony Alpha A7 III’s 2.36-million dot and 0.78x display. The Z6 also uses Nikon’s own optics, which are supposed to deliver even greater clarity, while the EVF has a fast display rate of up to 60p. We can get 4K UHD 3,840×2,160 / 30 fps footage easily.
