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.
