Do not expect the promised CFexpress firmware update for the Nikon Z6, Z7, D5, D850 and D500 cameras to be released before November

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


Here is the answer from Nikon support to a question about the CFexpress memory cards firmware update for the Nikon D500 camera:

In regard to CFexpress support being released for the D500. We know that yes this will be a firmware update, but we can not release any information in regard to this due to the CF express update because the cards are not on the market and scheduled to be released in November of 2019

It seems that Nikon is waiting for CFexpress memory cards to become available and then they will release the promised firmware update for the Z6, Z7, D5, D850 and D500 cameras.

A few thoughts/observations from a reader (thanks Helmut):

Nikon Z50 APS-C mirrorless camera additional information

By [NR] admin | Published: October 2, 2019



Some new/additional information on the upcoming Nikon Z50 APS-C mirrorless camera:

  • Nikon Z50 price: €900 in most European countries (around $980)
  • Nikon Z50 kit price with the new Nikkor Z 16-55mm (or 16-50mm) f/3.5-6.3 VR lens: €1,100 (around $1,200)
  • The Nikon Z50 will have a rear screen that can be tilted downwards for selfies but it will not work with selfie sticks
  • 4k video
  • Maximum shutter speed: 1/4000
  • The Nikon Z50 will be a direct Sony a6400 camera competitor

Previously reported Z50 specifications:

  • 20MP APS-C sensor (based on the D500 sensor)
  • Single SD card slot
  • 3″ pivoted LCD
  • 11 fps
  • No IBIS
  • Fixed EVF (not removable EVF as described in the latest design patents)
  • New Nikon EN-EL25 battery
  • Announcement date: October 10th
  • The official announcement could be as early as next week
  • The Z50 will be the equivalent of the D7xxx DSLR cameras
  • Two new APS-S mirrorless lenses: Z-Nikkor 16-55mm f/3.5-6.3 and Z-Nikkor 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3
  • The Nikon Z50 will look very similar to the Nikon Z1 prototype camera – it was described to me as a smaller version of the Z6/Z7

My personal guess is that Nikon will show a new Nikkor Z APS-C roadmap and I think we will finally see some prime DX lenses – something we missed in the F-mount lineup (please note that this is just my personal guess, I have no reliable info on that rumor).

There are several new Nikon product boxes design patents that could be used for the new products:
