Nikon Z6 Mirrorless Camera Now In Stock

Earlier this year Nikon announced two new cameras in the form of the Nikon Z6 and Z7. The Nikon Z7 was launched a few months ago and if you recall, earlier this month it was reported that the Nikon Z6 would be launching this month. For those who are interested, you’ll be pleased to learn that the camera is now in stock.

The camera will be available from the likes of Adorama, B&H, and Amazon where it will be priced at roughly around $2,600 for the model with the kit-lens. For those who don’t need the kit lens and want the body-only, it will retail for around $2,000, making it cheaper than the Nikon Z7 which is the higher-end of the two.

In case you might have forgotten, the Nikon Z6 is also full-frame mirrorless camera. However it does differ from the Z7 in terms of specs where it seems to have a lower megapixel count of 24.5MP, which we reckon is still very good for most users. It will also feature 273 focus points, an ISO range of 100-51,200, a 3.2-inch touch LCD screen, and is capable of shooting at 12fps.

There is also built-in WiFi so that you can transfer photos to another device like your laptop or smartphone without the need for a cable.

YouTube For Desktop Gets An Updated Fullscreen Mode

If you wanted to watch a YouTube video and check the comments at the same time, you couldn’t, at least back in the day. However it appears that YouTube has since updated its desktop platform where when you fullscreen a video, you can actually continue scrolling down to the comments section and also see suggested videos on the side.

Prior to this, users who wanted to access the comments or suggested videos would have to exit fullscreen mode. Granted that this isn’t that big of a deal, but it is a couple of extra steps that we suppose ultimately could save you some time in the long run. Plus its these types of quality-of-life updates and features that will make using the platform more enjoyable.

That being said, it should be noted that this only applies to videos you watch directly from YouTube’s main website. This means that if you watch an embedded video and fullscreen it, this feature won’t be available (then again you can’t see comments via embedded videos anyway). These changes to YouTube for the desktop should already be live for everyone (if you don’t see it not to worry it should eventually make its way to you), so you can go ahead and take it for a spin if you didn’t already notice it.
