What camera is this?

A few days ago I posted a link to the Nikon booth at the Inter BEE2023 show. A reader noticed that one of the published pictures shows an unknown Nikon mirrorless camera next to the Z8 and Z9:





The camera in question has a small body (smaller than the Z8) and a huge viewfinder – significantly bigger than the Z5/Z6/Z7 models. Am I missing something here? What camera is that?

  • A Nikon Z camera prototype?
  • Is that the rumored high-speed camera to be announced for the 2024 Olympics?
  • Maybe this is just an optical illusion and this is one of the existing Z models?

What do you think?
