General online search on Tuesday evening for the Nikon Z6 III search threw up Next Day Cameras. Browsed the site generally and the Z6 III camera body etc and various options, yada yada yada, in particular and settled on the Z6 III + Z 24-70mm f/4 S Lens + FTZ II Mount Adapter + KamKorda 72mm Lens Filter Kit = grand total of £2,323.00 - at 8.30pm, too late for next day delivery, but paid in full there and then. Rang them the morning after to request they advise a delivery tracking number so I could make sure to be available but was answerphone, so, left message and phone number requesting same. Nothing forthcoming, so rang again the morning of supposed delivery but just the same. Decided (belatedly) to have a nosy on Trustpilot and some of the early reviews were somewhat disheartening to say the least, but the latest ones seemed largely OK, so wait and see - judgement reserved. Eleven o'clock that morning (Thursday) and DPD knocked - it was here. Unpacked, battery in - and nothing - presumed battery discharged. Plugged the charger lead into the camera body and still nothing - so conclusion was either a duff battery or a duff camera. Ordered a battery plus charger off Amazon which arrived the following morning - battery into camera and bingo. Stuck the original battery into the charger and gave it 10 minutes, then into the camera & worked a treat. The issue with the charger lead seems to be that the charging light doesn't immediately illuminate - it takes about 10 seconds or so - that and the flat battery explains everything - I hope this last bit of info may help someone else.

My conclusion is this: no.1: the service from NDC was (quietly) excellent - they did what it said on the tin, and you can't really ask for much more than that - no.2: the price was really good - hence the purchase. And the 'killer' no.3: would I either use them again or recommend them? - a resounding yes and yes. Am I a 'happy chappie' - I guess so...

(this review, by the way, was neither elicited nor requested - however, in the unlikely event that NDC may elect to reward me with a Z 180-600mm lens by way of thanks, then I would gladly accept... :) GD out...)
