Updated rumored Nikon Zf full-frame retro mirrorless camera specifications

   
Here is an updated list of rumored Nikon Zf full-frame retro mirrorless camera specifications (new specs in bold):

  • Black camera body
  • 24.4 MP BSI-CMOS sensor
  • Weight: 700g (inc. battery, the Z5 is 590g, the Z6II is 615g )
  • Dimensions: 144mm x 101mm
  • Up to 30fps (JPG/HEIF)
  • 4k 60 video
  • USB C PD (fast-charging technology based on the USB-C standard)
  • ISO 100-64,000 (for comparison the Z6II ISO range is 100-51,200)
  • EN-EL15 battery
  • The Z f logo is moved to the left (the Zfc has it on the right)
  • Dual memory card slots (SD+MicroSD) – this is probably why the first reports came out with only one memory card slot, the second slot could be hidden and be used just like the internal memory on some cameras

  • August-September announcement, shipment before the end of 2023

  • Very similar (but improved) design/layout from the Nikon Zfc
  • Small LCD screen on top for aperture display
  • New 3rd function on the sub lever of the shutter speed dial (besides photo/video) for B&W mode (B&W/Photo/Movie)
  • Has a little grip/bump like the Nikon Df (see the mockup pictures)
  • Better build quality compared to the Nikon Zfc
  • Fully articulating screen

Interesting: the just announced Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 lens for Sony E-mount is “is developed, manufactured, and sold under the license agreement with Nikon Corporation”


The already leaked Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 lens for Sony E-mount was just officially announced and if you take a look at the press release, the last sentence says:

“This product is developed, manufactured, and sold under the license agreement with Nikon Corporation.”


A Tamron lens for Sony E-mount developed with Nikon?

Update: Tamron updated their press release and removed the sentence.

20-25% Nikon price increase in Scandinavia


A reader informed me that Nikon introduced a 20-25% price increase in the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Denmark, and Norway).

I am not aware of other price increases, but if you have any information, you contact me here or comment on this post.

Nikon had several recent price increases in Japan.

Update:

“It seems to be some strange things going on. It started with one of the biggest resellers, Scandinavian Photo, raised the prices of several Nikon products. Some of theme seemed as errors and was corrected. Then nikon.se made some price changes shortly followed by Cyberphoto (another big reseller). But a couple of days later they lowered the prices again, so did also Scandinavian Photo. The biggest Nikon store in Stockholm, Kameradoktorn, have the same prices they have had since spring. But all of this “back and forte” maybe are a indication of a upcoming increase?”
