Next Nikon announcement is rumored for September 10th (Nikon Zr video-oriented camera?)

By [NR] admin | Published: August 23, 2025

Nikon is rumored to have another new product announcement on or around September 10th, possibly for the rumored Nikon Zr video-oriented camera (R for RED) with RED tech inside (not a new RED camera with Z-mount – we already got that). As I already reported, the new model will be based on the Nikon Z6 III (same sensor), but the camera body will have a completely new video-oriented design (no EVF): brick-shaped with a very large LCD screen and without pentaprism and EVF – a combination of the current RED models design, the Sony FX3, and the Nikon Z30 cameras.
