The Professional's Choice

The Nikon D6 was released in time for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, to equip Nikon Professional Shooter the best opportunity to capture the greatest sporting event in the world. Built for seasoned sports photographers, wedding photographers and photo-journalists, the D6 packs superior performance and technology into rugged, weather sealed confidence-inspiring package that leaves nothing to chance.

Uncompromising Image Quality

At the heart of the camera is Nikon's 20.8 Megapixel FX format CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 6 image-processing engine. This tried and tested combination delivers razor sharp detail with vibrant true-to-life colours and excellent tonal contrast.

14 FPS Burst Mode with AF and AE

As you would expect from a camera that is built for speed, the D6 shoots up to a blisteringly fast 14 frames per second with full time autofocus and autoexposure calculations. For situations where discretion is required, the live view mode can shoot silently at up to 10.5fps.

105-point All Cross-Type Autofocus

Autofocus comes from an updated 105-point all cross-type array that offers unparalleled precision, and tracking performance. The updated design offers 1.6x more coverage than its predecessor and features 17 Custom Group-AF patterns to cater to your specific subject or shooting scenario.

Conquer Low-light Scenarios

With a native ISO sensitivity that starts at a clean base of 100 and reaches 102400 with further expandability to Hi 5 (ISO 3,280,000 equivalent), you'll be able to capture clean photographs and footage in the darkest of situations, beyond the limit of the naked eye. A next-generation intelligent AF system enables focus acquisition in extremely dim environments with -4.5 EV AF sensitivity at the centre point and -4 EV for other points.

Illuminated Buttons for Dark Situations

To match the incredible high ISO performance of this camera, illuminated LCD and buttons are used on the top and rear of the camera, making it simple to operate even when shooting in pitch-black environments.

Dual CFexpress and XQD Compatible Card Slots

The D6 features the latest dual slot design which is compatible with both CFexpress and XQD card types. Delivering the most reliable data throughput and performance, the slots can be configured for overflow, backup, RAW+JPEG and includes the ability to copy files from one card to another in-camera.

Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Connectivity

Built-in WiFi & Bluetooth Low Energy connectivity in conjunction with the Nikon SnapBridge app delivers instant sharing with clients and editors. Wi-Fi also allows the camera to be operated remotely, allowing you to position the camera in a dangerous or hard to reach location while you shoot from the safety of the sidelines.

1000BASE-T Ethernet Port

For studio and office use, the D6 is equipped with the latest 1000BASE-T ethernet port, allowing the camera to connect to FTP servers and on-location NAS systems for ultra-fast FTP transfers.

Built-in GPS

A must for professional wildlife and photojournalists, the camera features a built-in GPS module that will record accurate location, date and time information that can be embedded into the EXIF metadata of your image files for future reference.

Uncompressed 4K via HDMI

Equipped with 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) video, the camera is up to the task if video content is required for the job. The D6 records 30p/25p/24p videos with uncompressed HDMI output to an external monitor and recorder if required.

Kensington Anti-Theft Lock Compatible

The D6 also features a pro-grade Kensington Security Slot. Ideal for peace of mind when mounting your camera in remote shooting locations, it adds an extra layer of security to keep your camera safe and prevent it from being stolen.

Excellent Ergonomics

A redesigned handgrip has been contoured to fit with most users for comfortable all-day usage. The vertical battery grip makes it easy to take photographs in portrait orientation, and the AF-On and AF joystick controls are replicated on both the vertical and horizontal grip for ease of use and continuity.

Uncompromising Construction

Designed with the professional in mind, the Nikon D6 DSLR camera utilises magnesium alloy chassis for an extremely tough and durable camera. The shutter is rated to 400,000 cycles and its weather and dust seals empower you to shoot in harsh weather and environmental conditions with confidence.
