Nikon Z5IIC camera mockup

The Nikon Z5IIC camera is rumored to be cheaper than the Nikon Z5II ($1,697) and significantly cheaper than the Sony a7C II ($2,498):

• Full-frame 24 MP sensor
• IBIS
• Based on the existing Nikon Z5II
• Most components will be the same as the Nikon Z5II
• No viewfinder
• New AF recognition mode “Fish”
• New video features
• Price for body only: rumored at $1,600 or less (could vary by country), which makes sense because of the lack of EVF
• Will come in silver and black editions (only the top plate will be silver)
• Official announcement expected in the next 36 hours (September 24th was the date I was told; in the US, we can expect the Z5IIC around midnight Eastern time on Tuesday or Wednesday – stay tuned).
