Update: the rumored Nikon Z5II camera could be announced in April
A quick update on my previous posts: Camerainsider reports that the rumored Nikon Z5II camera will be announced in April. On March 6th, I reported that the Z5II is expected around May:
“The Nikon Z5II camera is rumored/expected to be announced around May this year. Of course, the release timeframe can change, but this is what I have for now.”
We do not have any detailed specifications yet, but the new Nikon Z5II camera will be based on the Nikon Zf and will have some tech from the Nikon Z6III.

What to expect next: an updated list of upcoming/rumored Nikon cameras and Nikkor lenses
Here is an updated list of “What to expect next from Nikon“:
Confirmed upcoming cameras:
- Nikon Z9II: most likely in 2026, maybe a development announcement in late 2025
- Nikon Z5II: expected around May 2025
- Nikon Z video camera: scheduled for late 2025
Unconfirmed cameras:
- Nikon Z8II: years away
- Nikon Z7III: still a possibility, but not anytime soon
- Nikon Z30II and Zfc replacement: maybe in 2026
Unconfirmed lenses:
- More Nikkor Z cinema lenses (rumored for a while)
- One new Nikkor DX lens could be announced this year
- Nikkor Z 500mm f/2.8 S VR: maybe
- Nikkor Z 85mm f/1.4: maybe (to match/complete the 35mm/50mm f/1.4 lenses)
Made-up upcoming camera models, a.k.a. clickbait rumors (I am sure I missed a few – there is a new one every week):
- Nikon Z1: nope
- Nikon Z4: nope
- Nikon Z80: nope
- Nikon Z90: nope
- Nikon ZfR: nope
- Nikon Zh: nope
- Nikon Zx: nope
- Nikon Zxx: nope
Nikon Zx/Zxx is used to mark prototype Nikon cameras for testing, and it is not a real name for a new model. For example, this is a Z6 camera distributed for testing before the official announcement years ago:

A new Nikon Z video-oriented camera is rumored to be announced later this year (similar to the Sony FX3)
I have been reporting for a while that Nikon will release a new video-oriented Z-mount camera with some RED tech inside (not a new RED camera with Z-mount – we already got that). I have some new information on those rumors. The new model will be based on the Nikon Z6 III, but the camera body will have a video-oriented design – something similar to the Sony FX3 and the Nikon Z30:
The official announcement is expected later this year – most likely in the third or fourth quarter. I do not know what the new line will be called – Nikon Zv or Z6v, maybe?
Nikon plans to incorporate RED’s video tech in its cameras in order to expand market share
