New Nikon Z6/Z7 firmware updates rumored for next week

By [NR] admin | Published: December 14, 2019


I received two confirmations from different sources that Nikon will announce new Z6/Z7 firmware updates next week (probably on Tuesday, December 17th). The new firmware is rumored to have the long-expected ProRes RAW update and improved autofocus. I am not sure if this release will include also the CFExpress update (the first CFExpress cards are already in stock at Adorama and B&H).

Nikon Z50 climbs in the sales charts in Japan | Nikon Z50 memory cards test comparison

By [NR] admin | Published: December 12, 2019


In the past few weeks the Nikon Z50 camera has moved up to the #1 spot at the BCNRanking (12/4, 12/11), #1 at Capa and #2 spot at Map Camera. The latest report from BCNranking was only for full-frame cameras and did not include the Z50.


Alik Griffin did some benchmarking for all the memory cards in the Nikon Z50. Here are a few of the top-performing UHS-I cards. UHS-II cards do run a tough faster but the camera does not have UHS-II tech and that little speed increase does not justify the cost:

You can find all the data here.

The Nikon Z50 is now in stock at: Adorama | B&H | Amazon | Park Camera | WEX | Calumet | Camera Canada. In the US you can get $150 off on the Nikon Z50 two-lens kit: Adorama| B&H Photo | Amazon.
