NikonRumors readers also know for months now that Nikon is expected to announce two new cameras this year: the Nikon Z30 and another full-frame camera. I have reported that multiple times in the past few months: see this, this, and this post, and of course here where I literally mentioned both options (Z6 III and Z8) as a potential second camera this year:
