Nikon announcement next week, not about new products

By [NR] admin | Published: August 3, 2023

Nikon is rumored to have an announcement next week, but as far as I can tell it will not be about new products. Maybe a new venture or acquisition? I really do not know. The Nikon Zf should be announced later (not expected next week).

Update – here is the announcement (service notice):

Here it is: Nikon Z8 “strap eyelet issue” recall

The Nikon Df DSLR camera was announced 10 years ago (November 2013)

By [NR] admin | Published: August 2, 2023

The Nikon Df was announced 10 years ago – on November 4th, 2013:

Nikon Df camera and Nikkor Special Edition AF-S 50mm f/1.8G lens announcement

It makes sense for the new Nikon Zf full-frame mirrorless camera to be announced prior to the Df anniversary. The initial information I reported back in March was for a fall release:

If the Nikon Z6 III camera is coming soon, I have not heard about it

Also, Nikon still got significant revenue from the Z8 in the third quarter, so it makes sense to release the Zf in the fourth quarter (the announcement could happen earlier).

“Nikon Z f” camera was listed earlier today on Nikon Direct Japan website

By [NR] admin | Published: August 2, 2023

A reader forwarded me this screenshot from earlier today of the Nikon Direct Japan website that shows a listing for the rumored Nikon Z f camera in the lower right corner:

Maybe after all the camera was scheduled to be announced today (August 2nd) and was pulled in at the last moment. I personally did not see the listing – I guess it was removed shortly after being published.
