Kolarivision published their Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera teardown and disassembly pictures online (see also the previous Nikon Z7 teardowns) - here is their conclusion: "Nikon follows the example set by Sony in some aspects of its design as well as it’s market philosophy. The cameras also improves upon the Sony A7 series in certain areas like cover glass thickness, weather sealing, and heat management. However, as we previously discussed, neither the Sony or Nikon cameras come close to the Canon EOS R in terms of beautiful design, and that’s a fact." Additional pictures and information: Cosmetically, the Z6 is identical to the Z7 if you don’t count the little ‘6’ in the lower right-hand corner of its front panel. The two bodies are exactly the same weight, gram for gram. All the exterior sealing is there where it was on the Z7, and the body is incredibly solid with no rattling, jingling, or play between the parts. The differences between the Z6 and Z7 are purely internal. Disassembly begins much the same way as the Z7 as well. The outer screws are in the same places, there are still quite a few of them, and the battery retention clip will still fire out of the bottom of the camera at great speed if you’re not careful. The bottom will come off first. It’s quite cramped in there with very little empty space, unlike the EOS R. The sensor stabilization mechanism dominates the internals of the camera and sits on some hefty springs....
