Here is a new set of rumored Nikon Z9 II camera specifications

By [NR] admin | Published: February 2, 2026


Here is a new set of rumored Nikon Z9 II camera specifications – keep in mind that earlier leaks are usually not 100% accurate:

  • 46MP stacked CMOS image sensor: instead of using a global shutter, it uses a new stacked sensor that is 3.5x faster than the Z9, with X-sync speed up to 1/720 second (bringing it close to a global-shutter camera).
  • New EXPEED processor.
  • A low native ISO of 32 can deliver “medium-format-like” image quality.
  • New AF system with significantly improved tracking performance and focusing accuracy.
  • RAW continuous shooting up to 60fps at full resolution, and 120fps at DX format.
  • Support for 12-bit R3DNE RAW video up to 8.3K 3:2 OpenGate 60p.
  • Nikon will also introduce multiple new film simulation LUTs for the Z9 II and legacy cameras with more natural and appealing visuals in both photos and videos.
  • The Z9II will have many new RED video features (already reported).
  • 5760k dot EVF from the Nikon Z6III (old rumor).
  • Content credentials (Nikon already mentioned that here and here).
  • Expected in 2026-2027

What to expect from Nikon in 2026
