The Nikon Z30 and the Zfc APS-C mirrorless cameras will soon be 3 and 4 years old (the Z30 was announced in June 2022, while the Zfc came out in June 2021).
Nikon seems to be on a 4-5 years refresh cycle for their mirrorless cameras.
I am actually surprised that Nikon hasn’t updated the Z30 and Zfc yet, given that other companies have released several compact APS-C mirrorless cameras since the introduction of the two Nikon models (Sony ZV-E10+II, Sony a6700, Sony FX30, Canon EOS R100, Canon EOS R50). Some brands have even returned to fixed-lens compact cameras (Canon PowerShot V1, Canon RV, Panasonic). But then again, Nikon was never big on APS-C cameras since the days of the D300s.
The Nikon Z30 camera body is currently $100 off (up to $250 off with kit lens).
The Nikon Z30 was the best-selling camera in Japan, according to BCN.
