The rumored Nikon Z APS-C mirrorless camera (rumored to be called Z30) is rumored to be announced on June 29 (±1 day – as previously reported). Even though I do emphasize the word “rumored”, I am pretty confident in this information. We should also get the official announcement of the Nikkor Z 400mm f/4.5 VR S lens and maybe even the rumored Nikon Z9 firmware update version 2.1. I have noticed that lately Nikon likes to make several announcements in one day instead of spreading the announcements over several weeks. Here is a quick recap on the Z30 and stay tuned for more details and leaks:
