Comparison of low-light High ISO noise performance between the Nikon Z6 III and Nikon Z6. A scene was set up and metered for a normal, centered exposure at ISO 100. The shutter speed and ISO were then doubled for each ISO in 1EV increments until reaching ISO 51,200. The results raws were pulled into ACR/Photoshop and all settings zeroed out except for the profile set to camera-matching neutral, sharpening of 45/0.7/35. Both chrominance and luminance noise reduction were disabled.
