Hands On with the Nikon D6 | Nikkor 120-300mm F2.8

This camera and lens have received some shaky reviews online, but we like the Nikon D6 for what it is, and the Nikkor 120-300mm f/2.8 FL ED SR VR super-telephoto lens is absolutely fantastic. Here’s why we think so.

What are the upgrades that Nikon has put into the D6? First off, there are two CF Express card slots that are also compatible with XQD cards. We highly recommend you invest in some CF Express cards since the write speed and buffering is so much better with them.

The autofocusing system has also been upgraded, with a Multi-CAM 37K AF 105 AF point sensor module. Nikon says it’s their best autofocusing system to date, and from our testing, it really is good.
