The Nikon Z5II camera is rumored to be announced next week: “The mini Z6III”

By [NR] admin | Published: March 24, 2025

The Nikon Z5II camera is rumored to be announced next week, and it was described to me as the “Mini Z6III” (the Z5II will have some tech from the Nikon Z6III).

Funny how this works: the Nikon Z5II will be the mini Z6II, which was the mini Z8, which was the mini Z9.

The price of the Z5II is expected to be significantly higher than that of the Z5 (which is currently selling for $996+ after a $400 rebate).

I do not have any other Z5II details. If you have something to share, you can contact me here.

What makes this different from books or members-only YouTube channels is that each chapter has a test to ensure comprehension of key materials and an assignment where the photographers will go out and create photos, fill out a worksheet, and submit it for feedback. It has that kind of interaction, like a real class.
