Well, in June of this year, I finally got a chance to go on a road trip across Utah and seized upon the opportunity, to finally photograph the Milky Way.

If the Z6s and Z7s cameras are announced, it will only be a development release.

Here is an updated list of expected/rumored Nikon Z mirrorless cameras and lenses:
