Nikon Z 6
Nikon is new to the full frame mirrorless category, and while the Nikon Z 6 may not be quite as refined as Sony’s third generation, the new camera still packs a powerful punch.
The Z 6 uses a 24.5-megapixel full frame sensor that captures excellent images. DxOMark ranks it right below the Sony a7 III by a single point.
The camera body also has stabilization built-in. This can help in those low light shots if the baby isn’t moving around.
As part of Nikon’s new mirrorless series, the Z 6 has access to a lot of existing Nikon lenses using an adapter. This could be reason enough to choose the Z 6 for photographers that already own some Nikkor glass.
Like most mirrorless cameras, there’s a silent electronic shutter for when being quiet matters. And the Z 6 is even faster than the a7 III with a 12 fps, though that’s in an extended mode with a few limitations.
The Z 6 is lighter than Nikon’s DSLRs, though not by a lot if you use a heavier Z lens or once you add the mount adapter. The tilting touchscreen can also help get the perfect angle without getting out a step stool.
The Z 6 is also weather-sealed. You won’t be photographing a newborn in the rain, but baby drool and toddler spills shouldn’t be a problem.
Nikon also has the higher-resolution Z 7, but the Z 6 has an autofocus that’s rated a bit better in low light. The mid-range resolution is perfect for newborns. It also means the camera doesn’t cost quite so much.
