So no sensor shield as there's still a mechanical shutter unlike Z8/Z9. The price in Switzerland is CHF 3'000 compared to 3'400 for a Z8 (incl. cash back). To me the Z8 is the way to go.
Would there be any reason why a mechanical shutter cannot act as a sensor shield, provided it is controlled to stay shut when the camera is turned off?
The Z8/Z9 sensor is read in 3.7 ms while the Z6 III has been estimated around 15 ms (it has not been measured but Nikon said it would be 3.5x faster than the Z6 II.
Apparently for Z6 III it was measured at 9.47ms for 6K N-Raw video, and can get shorter in crop mode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDm9CbRxyg0&t=501s , still a lot slower than Z9/Z8.
The price here in Japan is eye watering. Nikon prices in $, but the yen is now toilet paper. The local prices for z6, z6ii, z7, zf, z9, z8, and z6iii are madness. Purely based on the strength of the yen when the camera was released. We need a lifeboat here in Japan :-(
