Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 S lens report from Sicily
Interesting: there will be three different sizes of CFexpress memory cards
A reader sent me some additional information I missed when I reported about the latest CFexpress 2.0 – there will be three different sizes of CFexpress memory cards:
- Type B is the same form factor as we already know as XQD, aimed at higher-end digital cameras
- Type C is a new, larger form factor aimed at replacing SSDs used in PCs, laptops, tablet PCs etc, with higher performance than Type B
- Type A is a new, smaller form factor, aimed at digital cameras that prioritize small size over capacity and performance compared to Type B
DC.Watch posted some prototype pictures of the different CFexpress types that were on display at the CP+ show:
Sony’s presentation shows that Nikon Z mount is capable of f/0.58 lenses
During the a6400 press event a few weeks ago, Sony had several slides showing the advantages of their mirrorless E-mount. Some of the slides were directly targeted at Leica since Stephan Schulz from Leica Camera AG claimed that the Sony E-mount was not designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras (there are several other articles online making the same claim).
Sony first tries to compare E-mount with F-mount in order to show that an f/1.0 lens for Sony E-mount is possible:
but in the last slide, Sony shows that the Nikon’s mirrorless Z-mount is capable of handling f/0.58 lenses:
- Leica L-mount: f/0.63
- Sony E-mount: f/0.63
- Canon RF-mount: f/0.62
- Nikon Z-mount: f/0.58

Is this the new entry-level Nikon Z1 mirrorless camera?
Nikon has mentioned on several occasions that they are planning to release a new entry-level Nikon Z mirrorless camera to compete with the Canon RP. Could that new model be the Nikon Z1 pictured above? The leaked photo looks legit in my opinion. What do you think?
For comparison, here is the top view of the Nikon Z6/Z7:
