Nikon Z30 Mark II Coming Soon? Z30 Prices Hit Record Low

The Nikon Z30 Mark II camera is an APS-C entry-level mirrorless camera from Nikon specifically made for content creators. The camera just hit an all-time low price of $596.95 with the 16-50mm kit lens in all the major online stores in the USA [B&H Store and Adorama]—a major discount from its original $790.95 launch price.

Is Nikon clearing up the stock inventory of the Nikon Z30 camera to make a clear way for the highly anticipated Nikon Z30 Mark II camera with the recent rumors of camera registrations as well? Considering the lifecycle of an entry-level camera, all these factors point to an imminent announcement. Now let’s dive into some facts.

Why the Nikon Z30 price drop signals the Z30 Mark II announcement?

Deep discounts on cameras generally indicate manufacturers are preparing for the launch of the successor. As we all know, the Nikon Z30 is approximately 2 years old and was announced back in June 2022. At the time of the Nikon Z30 camera announcement, the direct competitors were the Sony ZV-E10 and the Canon R50.

But as of 2025, we now have the successor of the Sony ZV-E10, the Sony ZV-E10 Mark II camera with upscaled core specifications. At the very same time, Canon has also updated their entry-level Canon R50 camera with the Canon R50v.

In some markets, used Z30 bodies are selling for as low as $459. This suggests that Nikon is aggressively clearing the stocks to make way for the Nikon Z30 Mark II camera. A similar price drop was witnessed in the Nikon Z50 before the arrival of the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera.

Adding fuel to the fire, Nikon recently registered a new camera in the wireless certification agency with the model code N2410. So it doesn’t surprise us that Nikon plans to introduce a new camera soon. Now if you look at the list of upcoming Nikon cameras of 2025, then the list includes Nikon Z7 Mark III, Nikon Z9 Mark II, as well as the Nikon Z30 Mark II. Now, among all these three cameras in the entry-level zone, the Z30 Mark II is a very strong contender and needs a refresh as soon as possible since it’s losing its market compared to its competitors, specifically the Canon R50v.

What should we expect from the upcoming Nikon Z30 Mark II camera?

We have already discussed the core specifications of the camera in our previous post. Now, just to remind you again—

Nikon Z30 Mark II Specifications [Expected]

Imagine and Processor:

  • 20.9MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor
  • EXPEED 7 Image Processor

Video Specs:

  • 125 Minutes Recording Time Limit in 4K
  • UHD 4K60p Video Recording (with crop mode)
  • Full HD 120fps Slow-Motion Recording
  • Live Streaming at 60p
  • Product Review mode
  • 10 Bit Internal recording (Via HDMI)

Autofocus System:

  • Hybrid AF with Improved Eye and Face Detection
  • Subject Detection for 9 Types (animals, vehicles, etc.)

Screen and Viewfinder:

  • 3″ 1.04m-Dot Free-Angle Touchscreen LCD (180° tilting for vlogging)

Audio and Connectivity:

  • Built-In Stereo Mic with Wind Noise Reduction
  • External Mic 3.5mm
  • New Tally Lamp Design for Recording Indicator
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for Seamless Connectivity

Vlogging Features:

  • Vlogging-Optimized Design
  • Dedicated Selfie Controls
  • Picture Control Button for Quick Adjustments

Shooting and Storage:

  • ISO 100-51200
  • Up to 11 fps Continuous Shooting
  • Single SD Memory Card Slot

Excluded Features (To Protect Z50 II Sales):

  • No electronic viewfinder (to keep the Z30 Mark II focused on vlogging and content creation)
  • Photographic enhancements like burst shooting at 30 fps are reserved for Z50 II.
  • Market Segmentation: Nikon will likely reserve 10-bit internal recording for the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera, to maintain its appeal to semi-professional users and protect its future sales.
  • Target Audience: The Z30 series targets vloggers and casual content creators who don’t spend much time grading 10-bit videos, they give priority to ease of use and affordability over advanced video specifications. Offering a 10-bit recording might not align with this audience’s actual needs.

Why the Nikon Z30 stock clearance is an excellent opportunity for you

For those who are not waiting for the Nikon Z30 Mark II camera, the current stock clearance sale is a great opportunity to grab one of the best low-light performing cameras in the APS-C range. Since the same 20-megapixel sensor is being used in the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera, the Zfc camera, and even the same sensor will likely be used in the Z30 Mark II camera. So, if you are a photographer and looking for a budget body, without a doubt, the Nikon Z30 (or its Mark II) is one of the best opportunities right now. At the very same time, it also records Full HD videos up to 2 hours 15 minutes and 4K up to 30 minutes. Let’s have a look at its major offerings.

The Z30 remains a fantastic choice for beginners and vloggers, offering:

  • A 20.9MP APS-C sensor for sharp stills and 4K video.

  • A fully articulating 3.0″ touchscreen for easy framing.

  • Hybrid autofocus with eye and face detection.

  • Up to 2 hours 15 minutes of continuous recording, ideal for long takes.

  • Compatibility with Nikon’s Z-mount lenses and F-mount lenses via the FTZ II adapter.

Canon R50V – A Recent entry-level camera from Canon with 10-bit 4 K 60p video recording capability and Clog support.

Nikon’s strategy to capture the content creator market

Nikon is already putting a lot of focus and effort, as you can see in the entry-level full-frame cameras like the Nikon Z5 II. We are having the ability to record in 12-bit RAW, 10-bit LOG video, and Red camera LUTs are also there to give an enhanced cinematic experience to users. Similarly, being a hybrid camera, the Nikon Z50 Mark II features class-leading video core specifications.
But Nikon’s entry-level range is now weak and needs an upgrade. If they fail to do so in a proper timeline, they will lose a big market share for sure—since Canon R50v has now arrived with exceptional video core specifications at very similar prices to the Nikon Z30.

We all know Nikon is planning to introduce the Z9 Mark II camera before the Winter 2026 Olympics. But refreshing the entry-level Nikon Z30 is very essential and a requirement of the situation. If they update the Z30 in time, they can keep the entry-level line competitive and appealing to younger creators.

When will the Nikon Z30 Mark II camera arrive?

We expect that the Nikon Z30 Mark II camera will arrive in Q4 of 2025 or Q1 of 2026. Nikon may shift the Z30 Mark II camera announcement to January 2026 at CES or maybe at CP+ in February 2026.

But that’s our expectation. As we all know, Nikon generally takes 3 months to announce a new camera once the wireless registration happens, and as we all know, the Z9 II, the Z7 III, and the Z30 Mark II are in line for announcement.

Sony Major Camera Announcement in May 2025

According to the latest rumours, Sony will be announcing a new product in May 2025. At this very moment, the only thing we know from a tipster’s hint is to consider it as a cine-style FX camera from Sony. Take a look at what the tipster has said to us in the previous post.

It’s a camera made for video users. I already have the review unit and am impressed with its overall performance. The only feature I wish this camera had is open-gate recording. However, the IBIS is the new unit that works like a charm for handheld usage.

Also, take a look at what the Sony Alpha Rumor website (Link) has said.

I am now 100% sure that there will be a new Sony announcement in May! I’m not sure yet what the name of the camera will be… but I’ll say this: I’m not buying the FX3 or the a7CII right now. I’ll have more to say next week.

PS: Btw, I was waiting for the Sony A7V camera announcement.

Stay tuned for more updates

Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 Leads Japan’s Compact Camera Rankings for 2025

The compact market in Japan is experiencing remarkable demand, and the new consumer base is generally the young photographers and Social media influencers. The latest sales ranking from BCN+R for February to March 2025, the report reveals this surprising leader: the Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 tops the sales chart of compact cameras. Just after that, we have the Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo in second place, and in third place, we have the Panasonic Lumix TZ99. It’s really a big surprise that in the smartphone world, the demand for compact cameras surges again. But what is driving the compact camera boom in the market?, And what does it mean to photographers in 2025? We have to explore those things, too.

Compact Camera Sales Soar in Japan

According to BCN+R, a leading retail data provider that actually covers approximately 40% of the total Japanese electronics retailers, it has mentioned in their report that in March 2025, the overall sales volume surged by 39% year-on-year, while the sales value grew by 13.6%. So, if we look at the previous sales reports from the past five months consecutively in the compact camera market, we have seen double-digit growth, and it all started from November 2024, where we witnessed an increase in the sales of compact/point-and-shoot models.

Details of the Top 3 Compact Cameras in Japan from February to March 2025

Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 [Amazon.comB&H Store]

Market Share: Approximately 21.4% (March 2025 estimate).

Key Features: 16MP sensor, 5x optical zoom (28–140mm equivalent), 1080p video, and a compact design. Priced around $139

 

Fujifilm Instax Mini Evo [ Amazon.comB&H Store]

Market Share: Contributes to Fujifilm’s 16.6% share, driven by the Instax series.

Key Features: A hybrid instant-digital camera with a 28mm f/2.0 lens, 10 lens effects, and instant film printing.

 

Panasonic Lumix TZ99 [ Amazon.comB&H Store]

Market Share: A strong contender in the top three, though specific share data is unavailable.

Key Features: 20.3MP sensor, 30x optical zoom (24–720mm equivalent), 4K video, and a tilting touchscreen.

Why Is the Compact Camera Market Making a Comeback?

These are the top four reasons why compact cameras are making a comeback in 2025:

  1. Affordability: Models like the Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 offer decent performance in a budget range. The performance is not as good as that of mirrorless cameras out there, but if someone loves to try a camera, the FZ55 is a decent option.
  2. Social Media Influence: The compact camera with a retro design has now become a trend among today’s social media influencers in Japan, and a lot of people have been seen using those compacts. So, it naturally impacts the other million viewers who are watching them and get influenced by them. As a result, a lot of people are buying these compacts since the people they follow are now being seen with those cameras.
  3. Nostalgia and Simplicity with Security: The compact camera does not put every picture or video you capture over the internet, so that gives new users a sense of security over their data and the pictures they have captured, instead of the smartphone, which actually puts everything online with a click.
  4. Portability: Instead of carrying heavy cameras and putting a bunch of heart and money into the mirrorless segment, it’s really easy to carry a compact camera, which is also easy on your pocket.

Kodak’s Surprising Leadership

Kodak’s dominance with the PIXPRO FZ55 camera has surprised many out there, including other brands with their latest offerings, like Fujifilm, which offers a range of instant cameras. The latest report from the BCN+R data source shows Kodak actually holds 21.4% of the market share in March 2025, outpacing Fujifilm with 16.6% of the market share in the world of compact cameras. But will Kodak sustain this lead shortly, or will future photographers follow the next big upcoming market trend of premium compact cameras?

What’s Next for the Compact Camera Market?

The compact camera market is facing a very good boom in sales, and this will allow manufacturers to take more risks and introduce a new generation of compacts for young users. One recent announcement is the Canon PowerShot V1 compact camera, which offers excellent 4K video recording capability with a large one-inch sensor to record high-quality still images. The next camera that Fujifilm is planning to introduce is a half-frame [Fuji X-Half] camera with specifications to make a space in the market. Sony is lately active with its ZV series compact cameras, but Nikon is silent over this.

But still, for photographers and social media influencers who are budget-conscious buyers, the Kodak PIXPRO FZ55 is an excellent option. Travel bloggers are also preferring the Lumix TZ99, which does have 4K video recording capability and comes in a budget pocket.

What do you think about the compact camera comeback? Do you also love the Kodak offering of the FZ55, the Lumix TZ99, or maybe you are a fan of Fujifilm’s Instax Mini Evo?
