It's a Nikon Z6 III with WiFi and Bluetooth removed.
netsharc•1h ago
Somehow the article manages to repeat this obvious stuff about 7 or 8 times...

I wonder if that hardware on the normal Z6 III is on a daughterboard, and if removing it makes the OS complain (like having no color ink mean some printer-scanner-combos won't scan).

rationalist•1h ago
It's a shame it costs more. I'm sure there are people who would like the non-wireless option, but would rather "save" $400.
walrus01•1h ago
I understand it's probably because the GPS functionality is integrated into the same RF chipset that's handling wifi/bluetooth, but it would be possible to make a "no transmit capability" camera that still has GPS metadata functionality, with GPS receiver chip and an antenna tuned for 1400-1600 MHz, since ordinary consumer grade GPS is a receive-only technology.

But that would still possibly present a problem for serious government use where it can't have an antenna of any form in it.

>Can't have an antenna of any form in it.

All wires are antennas...

doctor_radium•1h ago
I assume the average person buying the standard model could then just disable WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS if they so chose? So this really is for high security situations?
jojobas•45m ago
Disabling the hardware without bricking the whole thing rather than trusting the software makes all the difference.

> no Nikon SnapBridge

Unless they significantly improved that app, in the last eight years or so, it may not be a great loss.

Scene_Cast2•50m ago
Huh. When I rented a Z7 ii about 5 years ago, I found their Android app to be pretty great. (My next big camera is likely to be a Nikon, in part due to the nice app)
ChrisMarshallNY•49m ago
Like I said, it's been a while, but the iOS app enjoyed a 1-star rating on the App Store, for quite some time.
