I couldn’t find any other changes in the Nikon USA rebates for August:

Nikon Z7III rumors have been circulating since 2023, and since 2023 I’ve been saying the same thing: there is still not a single credible report that this camera is coming anytime soon.
Every few months, the usual suspects drop a new Nikon Z7III “scoop” filled with made-up specifications, and the same clickbait sites happily keep regurgitating it. I will not even bother you with the made-up specifications.
For months I have been reporting on the same few Nikon cameras that are coming in the next 12+ months, and the Z7III was never on the list:
Things can always change, of course. But as of today, I still haven’t heard anything worth reporting about a new Nikon Z7 III.

One of the challenges with the upcoming Nikon cameras is that some of the rumored details overlap, making it difficult to assign specific specs to individual models – especially since the actual model names are still unknown. For example, the rumored mirrorless camera without an EVF and the fixed-lens model without an EVF could very well be referring to the same camera. There are also no clear details on the fixed-lens Nikon camera – will it be with a 1″ sensor, full frame, or will we get both? Once the official model designations are revealed, it will become much easier to sort out which rumors belong to which upcoming body.
Here is an updated list of what to expect next from Nikon (see previous reports):
Keep in mind that the announcement dates above are just estimates based on rumors, and have not been confirmed yet. I can bet that there will be delays.
2026 will be a very slow year for Nikon. So far, Nikon has officially announced only two new lenses:
I was told that 2027 will be much better.
