Nikon Z6 Mark III Announcement Soon 2024 - Latest Updates

UPDATE: Nikon Z6 Mark III Announcement on June 17 at 8 a.m. ET

As we get closer to the Nikon Z6 Mark III camera announcement, we are getting more related updates. The Camera was expected to arrive on June 11, 2024, But, Now we have a new date from the rumor mill and the camera may arrive on June 18, 2024. The good thing is the announcement will happen within a week, So I am super excited about this.

According to the Nikon Rumor mill the Nikon Z6 mark III camera is expected to arrive

• on or around June 11 (±1 day)
• on or around June 18 (±1 day)

There could be several reasons for the discrepancy:

• We may see a teaser for the new camera on June 11 and the official announcement on June 18 (the most likely scenario).
• June 11 could be the internal presentation, and June 18 the official announcement.
• June 11 could be the official announcement, and June 18 the actual shipping date.
• June 11 could be the development announcement (less likely).
• June 11 could be the announcement date, and pre-orders will open on June 18 (less likely).
• I am sure there are a few other scenarios I did not mention here, but you get the picture

UPDATE: From Nikon China

Dealers are invited for product testing on June 18 and are also open for registration for others. This usually happens after the official announcement of the camera. So, you can expect Z6 III will arrive before June 18, 2024.
