Rumor: CFExpress firmware update is coming but only for select CFExpress memory cards

By [NR] admin | Published: December 16, 2019


A quick update on the upcoming Nikon Z6/Z7 firmware update that is rumored to be announced this week (tomorrow?): the firmware update will bring CFExpress compatibility but only for selected CFExpress memory cards (Sony CFExpress memory cards, for example, I was told). A second firmware will be released later with support for additional CFExpress brands.

The first CFExpress memory cards are already in stock at Adorama and B&H (in the UK as well).

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).
