where there’s smoke there’s fire

Nikon registered a new N2416 wireless remote controller with the FCC (pictured above). Here is the interesting part – a reader pointed out that the camera described in the user’s manual has an unusual button on the top plate:

The drawing above doesn’t match any existing Nikon mirrorless bodies. Here is a comparison with the Nikon Z6III and Z7 II cameras that also have two dials on the top plate:

As far as I can tell, no current Nikon camera has that extra second button next to the top LCD screen. Could that be another leak of the upcoming Nikon Z70 camera? The Z70 is supposed to be a high-end APS-C model, and it makes sense to have similar controls/design to the Z6/Z7. Remember, the Z70 was supposed to be announced a few months ago, which explains all the recent leaks.

Here are a few more drawings taken from the N2416 user’s manual – could that really be the long-rumored Z70?
