Updated Nikon Z5 specifications

By [NR] admin | Published: July 17, 2020


Updated Nikon Z5 specifications combined together from previous posts:

  • 24.3 MP full-frame sensor (not sure BSI or not)
  • 5-axis image stabilization
  • Hybrid AF system with 273 focus points
  • Eye detection AF compatible with animals
  • 4.5 frames/sec
  • 4k video
  • 1.7x video crop in 4k, no SloMo option
  • ISO: 100-51,200
  • 369,000 dot EVF
  • 3.2 inch 1.1 million dot touch panel tilt LCD
  • Dustproof and weatherproof
  • Dual SD UHS-II memory card slots
  • Nikon EN-EL15C battery (already registered online)
  • Magnesium alloy camera body
  • USB-C camera powering, not just charging
  • Slightly smaller than the Z6
  • No top panel LCD
  • The modes dial is moved to where the top LCD screen is on the Z6/Z7
  • The camera will start shipping later this year
  • The price is not confirmed yet, but it should be between the Z50 ($856.95) and the Z6 ($1,796.95) – my guess is around $1,400 with the Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3 kit lens.

Report: “Nikon offers a potential upside of 50%+ from the current stock price”

By [NR] admin | Published: July 15, 2020


The financial website SeekingAlpha published an article called “Nikon: Not Only A Camera Company With An Upside Of 50%+” where they claim that “Nikon offers a potential upside of 50%+ from the current stock price“:

“Nikon Corporation (OTCPK:NINOY) offers a potential upside of 50%+ from the current stock price of ¥880 or $8.19 for NINOY. The market significantly underprices the company due to its exposure to a declining camera and lens market where Nikon lost some of its market share. My analysis shows that the imaging market will likely stabilize in the next five years, as sales to professional / amateur photographers and videographers will create a floor for the market. Moreover, Nikon will be able to stabilize its market share loss due to its strong push into videography and mirrorless technology.”

The article is very long, with a lot of financial information and analysis. Here is the recap:
