Nikon registered a new camera model code N2318 in Indonesia. The camera will be manufactured in Thailand, and the new model was previously registered with the China Wireless Certification Agency. With these multiple global wireless certifications, we can conclude that the announcement is very near. The N2318 model code is expected to arrive in the next two to three months, most probably before November 2024. We will likely have an announcement from Nikon soon.
There have been strong hints that the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera is coming, so we can expect this announcement to bring its successor.
We will update you when we get any leaked specifications or images of the upcoming Nikon Z50 Mark II camera.
The good news is that there is not only N2318 but another camera already registered with the Wireless Certification Agency, waiting to be announced N2216. According to the latest speculations from the rumor mill and other websites, this could be a successor to the Nikon P1000, possibly the P1100. There are also speculations pointing towards a possible successor to the Nikon Z5 camera, the Z5 Mark II, since the Z5 is now old and outdated and needs a desperate update from Nikon.

The new 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC lets users take photos in an extremely wide range of situations with just one lens.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
1. 10.7x zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras that covers the focal length range from 28mm wide-angle to 300mm telephoto
The greatest feature of the 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is its 10.7x zoom focal length range. In response to users stating that 200mm is not quite long enough at the telephoto end for an all-in-one zoom lens, TAMRON has extended the focal length to 300mm. Exceptionally portable, the lens features a highly compact design. This single lens allows shooting in everyday life and during travel, including landscapes, snapshots, portraits and sports photography. It’s an extremely versatile lens that lets users take photos in any situation of any subject without changing lenses.
2. Outstanding imaging performance
This new TAMRON zoom has an optical construction of 20 elements in 13 groups. It includes one XLD (eXtra Low Dispersion) lens element and an LD (Low Dispersion) lens element to efficiently control aberrations such as chromatic aberration. The BBAR-G2 (Broad-Band Anti-Reflection Generation 2) Coating suppresses ghosting and flare, producing clear images even in backlit conditions. It boasts best-in-class image quality as an all-in-one zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras.
3. Lightweight and compact lens body
Despite covering a 10.7x focal length range from 28mm wide-angle to 300mm telephoto, the lens is very compact, with a length of only 5” (126mm) and a weight of 21.5 oz. (610g). Small and versatile, it can be casually carried anywhere, and users are unlikely to tire even after long hours of shooting. It’s ideal for people who want to carry a smaller camera bag. Additionally, the lens makes it easy to frame accurately when shooting still and moving images while zooming in and out, such as sports and wildlife, and is designed to be comfortable to use.
4. Equipped with VXD, TAMRON’s top-class linear motor focus mechanism
The 28-300mm F4-7.1 VC is equipped with the VXD autofocus drive that includes TAMRON’s premium linear motor focus mechanism to ensure that the focus is attained quickly and accurately throughout the 10.7x zoom range. Upending the stereotype of all-in-one zoom lenses having slow autofocus, its nimble operation allows users to capture more fleeting photo opportunities. The quietness supports photography and videography in conditions that require silence.
5. TAMRON’s proprietary VC mechanism
Although it’s compact, the 28-300mm F4-7.1 is equipped with TAMRON’s proprietary VC mechanism that lets users take steady photos, especially at the 300mm telephoto end of its broad 10.7x range. VC effectively suppresses camera shake that often occurs when shooting in the telephoto range or under low-light conditions, thereby helping users take sharp photos without a tripod.
6. Proprietary software tool TAMRON Lens Utility for lens function customization and firmware updates
7. High convenience and operability
67mm filter size, same as most other TAMRON lenses for mirrorless cameras
Focus Set Button for assigning camera function and TAMRON Lens Utility function

Canon R6 Mark II and Canon R50 are the most sold models of Canon. Imagine a business in the year of 2024, the first and second quarter, which is written in the Canon’s latest financial report, and more or less, these two cameras are also responsible for Canon’s financial recovery. Let’s have a look
Canon official Finical REPORT of 1st half of 2024 – Conference on results for 2Q 2024 (July 25, 2024)
In the Imaging Business Unit, interchangeable-lens digital camera’s performance was solid due to steady sales of the EOS R6 Mark II full-frame mirrorless camera and the new entry-level EOS R50, along with increased sales of digital compact cameras. Although sales for network cameras decreased temporarily in the previous quarter of this year due to the adjustments of inventory levels in the market, sales for the second quarter of network cameras increased thanks to need for diversified applications. As a result, sales for the second quarter of the Imaging Business Unit increased by 11.6% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥244.7 billion, while income before income taxes for the second quarter increased by 19.3% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥41.7 billion. Sales for the first half of the year totaled ¥420.3 billion, a year-onyear increase of 2.1%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥56.6 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 21.9%.
REPORT ANALYSIS
Canon’s Imaging Business Unit had a mixed performance. They sold many cameras like the EOS R6 Mark II and EOS R50, which boosted sales by 11.6% to ¥244.7 billion. However, their overall income before taxes for the first half of the year dropped by 21.9% to ¥56.6 billion compared to last year. This means while they are making money, their profit has decreased compared to before, so they haven’t fully recovered yet.
But what can we expect from Nikon? Even if they have acquired RED, does it mean we will see some drastic improvements in the world of cinematography, codecs, and everything else? Let’s analyze these things one by one. There’s curiosity about what improvements Nikon’s acquisition of RED might bring to photography and related technology
RED’s Technological Advancements:
Before we dive into all these details, we first need to look at RED itself and where the technology has reached by the end of 2022, according to its latest updates. Their latest release was the Komodo-X, capable of shooting impressive 4K videos at up to 120 frames per second in 12-bit RAW. Additionally, in their recent update, they have enabled a face detection autofocus system via their app, which many RED camera owners have tested and found to work well. This app can be installed on your iPad, and with its help, you can enable the face detection autofocus system.
RED with Active RF-Mount, Face Detect AF
However, it’s important to note that RED’s KOMODO-X face detection autofocus system is active via Canon’s RF mount. Now that Nikon has acquired RED, any ongoing partnership with Canon will likely be phased out as soon as possible. Shortly, we can expect upcoming RED Komodo-X variants, with Z-Mount.
Partnership with TowerJazz:
RED partnered with TowerJazz for their cameras’ 20-megapixel global shutter Super 35mm sensors, offering advanced video capabilities. This partnership helped RED stay ahead of other consumer and mid-level cameras.
RED’s R&D teams worked for many years to achieve their current level of perfection. Now, with Nikon’s acquisition, it’s easier for Nikon to transfer these technologies and allow their Z-Mount R&D division to benefit from them. At the same time, Nikon will also share their advanced autofocus algorithms with RED, aiding in the development of active Z-Mount-based cinema cameras in the near future.
By the transfer of RED camera technologies, Nikon can also use the 20 MP Global shutter sensor in near future products to introduce their dedicated cinema consumer-level mirrorless camera.
Nikon and TowerJazz Collaboration isn’t new, Nikon and TowerJazz have a long-standing relationship, with TowerJazz relying on Nikon for equipment and Nikon using TowerJazz sensors in their DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. This collaboration is evident from the companies’ shared presentation materials.
Initially, Nikon helped tower Jazz with two systems: the NSR-2205i14E2 i-line stepper and the NSR-S204B scanner system for Tower’s 0.18-micron pilot line. As Tower ramps up capacity in Fab 2 in the second half of 2002, Nikon will provide it with models NSR-S205C scanning steppers and NSR-2205i14E2 i-line steppers and/or NSR-SF110 wide-field steppers. The total value of the agreement is expected to reach or exceed $150 million over the next four years.
Potential Release of KOMODO Z:
A RED camera with Nikon’s Z-mount. We can expect upcoming RED Komodo-X variants, like Komodo Z to feature ACTIVE Z-mount support. Since the face detection system is already enabled with the Canon RF mount, if Nikon introduces a Z-mount, we can be sure that the face detection autofocus system will be enabled either via an app or directly in the camera.
What to Expect
So in the future, we will see 12-bit internal video recording capabilities and global shutter sensors coming to Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. At the same time, upcoming RED cameras will feature an active Z-mount with full-time autofocus support.
