By [NR] admin | Published: May 28, 2019

Slow news day, here are some more unconfirmed rumors (I usually only post information that is verified by multiple sources):

Low-end Nikon D5700 DSLR or similar is still a possibility
High-end Pro Z series camera (Z9?) with dual card slots – the development could be announced as early as this summer
Nikon Z5 in 2019: 30-32 MP APS-C sensor, similar body to the Z6, dual card slot (XQD and micro SD)
Nikon Z3 in 2020: entry-level DX camera with fix LCD screen, 24 or 26 MP sensor, one micro SD card slot only, probably no EVF
At least two DX Z lenses at launch, probably a standard zoom lens and a tele-zoom or a standard zoom + a prime, more DX lenses to come in 2020
The next Z firmware update will come either early summer or autumn, that will bring CFexpress support and RAW recording
Nikon D6 will not be a hybrid camera
