Nikon event for influencers in Lanzarote at the end of January (Nikon Z6III?)


A quick update on my previous post about an upcoming Nikon event for photographers/influencers/YouTubers – it will take place at the end of January 2024 on the island of Lanzarote. This is very plausible becuase the Nikon Z8 trip for influencers was in Madeira – an island located just north of Lanzarote (see this video and many others). At this event, Nikon will most likely reveal the rumored Z6III camera to a select group of people – so expect some leaks, spy shots, etc. If you happen to be in Lanzarote at the end of January, be on the lookout for a large group of people with cameras 🙂
