Nikon Rumors recap: what to expect next?

By [NR] admin | Published: November 5, 2019


The last “what to expect” post was pretty accurate, but I decided to update it with the latest Z50 rumors:

  • The Nikon D6 is rumored to be officially announced in January 2020
  • Nikon D850, D750 and D500/D7500 replacements still expected but no dates are set yet
  • At least one new F-mount lens expected in 2020
  • The Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 mirrorless lens should be announced next
  • In the next 2-3 years, Nikon expects to have a pretty solid Z-mount product line (both full-frame and APS-C)
  • High-megapixel 60MP Z camera and/or another fast Z camera expected in 2020-2021 (Nikon Z8?)
  • Most of the registered cameras on this list will be announced in 2020
  • More APS-Z cameras to be announced – one above (Z70?) and one below (Z30?) the current Z50

Nikon Z50 additional coverage (shipping starts this week)

By [NR] admin | Published: November 4, 2019


→ The Nikon Z50 is set to start shipping in 3 days (November 7). Pre-orders are now open at Adorama, B&H and Amazon.


→ Today Adobe released a new version of Lightroom with Nikon Z50 support (more info available here and here).

 

→ SmallRig already has their first Nikon Z50 accessories:

You can see the new Vlog L-shape plate for Nikon Z50 in the last video at the bottom of this post – the Z50 is attached to a tripod where that selfie screen can still be used while vlogging (at the 6:50 mark). So it seems that one of the main “complaints” about the Z50 is already solved – you can till use a tripod when you vlog with the selfie screen.


→ The Nikon Z50 won the 2020 DGP “Camera Grand Prix” award.

→ Here are the latest Nikon Z50 videos:
