Special project: [Thorough verification Nikon D6] How high -sensitivity image quality evolved from D5 and D850 -Digital camera Watch

What is the evolution point from D5?

The Tokyo Olympics, which was scheduled to be held in the summer of 2020, have been postponed for the time being due to the global spread of the new Coronavirus.However, the movement for the event has finally become full -fledged.Speaking of the Olympic year, model change of each company flagship machine is customary.EOS-1D X Mark III appeared in February in February, despite the difficult situation in 2020.The D6 D6 was also released in June.The models of the two major manufacturers are available.A flagship camera α1 also appeared from Sony.It's finally interesting.

In Canon's EOS-1D X MARK III, each device was renewed and both functions and performance changed significantly, and the evolution of continuous shooting performance and RAW video shooting performance has become a hot topic.On the other hand, the D6 had been unchanged from the conventional model D5, and had the impression that the degree of evolution was considerably small.

In the predecessor D5, the AF performance and the noise level at high sensitivity, such as the noise level at high sensitivity, may have obtained a certain level of evaluation due to the particularly important description performance, so that the perfection will be inherited and advanced.In that sense, is it a model change that focuses on updating the device of AF and image processing engines and focusing on polishing still images?

Below, let's review the main evolution points.

[Main parts updated from D5] ・ Continuous shooting speed: 12 frames → 14 seconds, AF sensor: 153 points → 105 points (D5 is 35 points double sensor sequence → D6 is 105 points triple sensor sequence) ・ ImageProcessing engine: EXPEED 5 → EXPEED 6 ・ Other: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS

[Same as the main part that was stationed in D5] ・ Image sensor: Effective about 20.82 million pixels
