The photography community is buzzing with speculation about the Nikon Z7 Mark III, thanks to recently leaked specifications. The Independent Association of Photographers from China has labeled these leaks as fake, but are they entirely baseless? Let’s dive into the details of the leaked specs, their plausibility, and what they mean for Nikon’s high-resolution camera lineup.
Official Statement from the Independent Association of Photographers from China
—- This what they said about the information leaked above — Many people have been messaging me asking if this rumor is true, and many believe it, but the rumors about the Nikon Z7III are completely false.
Before saying anything is real or fake, one has to analyze its specifications. Does this leaked specification have any possibility of its existence in the upcoming Nikon Z7 Mark 3 camera? Does it have anything real inside it, whatever we have seen or read till now?
As you can see in the specifications, it is very clearly written: 61-megapixel FX-format BSI CMOS sensor and 8K 30 fps video recording capability with 4K 60 fps recording mode.
The timeline Z7 III arrival they’re sharing right now is from August to November 2025. We are very clearly known to the fact that Nikon is running late as per their scheduled announcement timeline, and the big reason behind that—as their representatives clearly mentioned, is that the demand for the Z7 series is less compared to the Z6 series. That’s why they are updating the Z6 III camera a bit early, as there are a lot of wedding photographers waiting for an update. But unfortunately, the Z7 series market space or the consumer base is slightly limited, and that’s why Nikon intentionally delayed its announcement.
When Will the Nikon Z7 Mark III Camera Arrive?
The Nikon Z7 Mark III camera is already running late, as we have already explained to you. It has been intentionally delayed, but Nikon hasn’t postponed the Z7 series. But, yes, it’s a fact that after the arrival of the Nikon Z5 II, the Z7 II has become one of the most old and outdated cameras in the Nikon Z lineup, so it raises a very high probability that Nikon may bring an update to this series before 2025 ends.
So that means yes, there is a very high probability that we may see the announcement of the Z7 Mark 3 in the year 2025.
Nikon Z7 Mark III Camera Sensor Resolution: Sony or TowerJazz?
Now, about the specifications—it has been very clearly mentioned that it may use Sony’s 61-megapixel or TowerJazz’s 67-megapixel sensor. And why have they said so? Is there any logical reason behind this?
We all know that Nikon has a very good relationship with Sony Imaging Division, and they are continuously using their sensors in most of their cameras. Now, as they have also mentioned TowerJazz, we do know that Nikon APS-C series like the Nikon Z50 Mark II, the Nikon Z30, and the Nikon Zfc’s 20-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor is made by TowerJazz.
So yes, they can take sensors from TowerJazz, since they do have a good relationship with the company.
And one of the most important things that you might have forgotten is that Nikon China accidentally leaked the Z7 Mark 2 sample images back in 2022 with 67-megapixel resolution. But just after those images were published, Nikon China’s social media handlers deleted those images.
So there is a very high probability that they already have the working prototypes of the Nikon Z7 Mark 3 camera with multiple sensor variations, including sensors like 61 MP from Sony or 67 MP from TowerJazz.
Nikon Z7 Series: Resolution Over Speed
And the Nikon Z7 series is about resolution, not speed. If someone wants a hybrid solution, Nikon does have cameras like the Nikon Z8 and the Nikon Z9—both of them use the same sensor, which is a perfect combination of speed and resolution.
So yes, whatever text has been written in the leaked set of specifications doesn’t seem to be completely false. So we have to wait and watch what actually comes, since we already have this set of data in front of us. Now it’s about Nikon taking a step forward and announcing the long-awaited Z7 Mark 3 camera in front of us.
Key Features of the Nikon Z7 Mark 3 (Based on Leaks)
61 / 67 MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor
8 K30p and 4K60p Video, 10-bit Internal, ProRes RAW
Up to 20 fps Max Shooting
493-Point AF
AI-Based Subject Detection
3.2″ 4-Axis Tilting Touchscreen LCD
Dual UHS-II SD Slots
5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Nikon Z7 Mark 3 vs. Z7 Mark 2: Specification Comparison
Nikon’s Partnerships: Strong ties with Sony and TowerJazz make the rumored sensors feasible.
Market Demand: The Z7 series’ focus on resolution aligns with the leaked high-megapixel specs.
Delayed Timeline: Nikon’s prioritization of the Z6 III explains the Z7 III’s delay, but 2025 is a logical target.
While the Independent Association of Photographers from China dismisses the leaked specifications as fake, the details align closely with Nikon’s technological capabilities and market strategy. The rumored 61-megapixel or 67-megapixel sensor, combined with 8K video, positions the Z7 Mark 3 as a powerhouse for resolution-focused photographers. With a potential announcement in 2025, all eyes are on Nikon to confirm or deny these exciting leaks. And obviously, Nikon will keep silent over these without a doubt.

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.
Nikon registered a new camera with a model code N2410 in the wireless certification agency. The camera supports Wi-Fi up to 5 GHz, so it’s probably not an entry-level camera. Right now, the possibilities we have: The long-rumored Nikon Z7 Mark III — people are waiting for this update for a long time, and you already had the Z6 III a while ago. After the Nikon Z6 III, we also had strong rumors related to the Nikon Z9 Mark II camera. Finally, the entry-level Nikon Z30 II is expected to arrive by the end of 2025. Check out the list of Nikon’s Upcoming cameras 2025
While registration doesn’t confirm launch dates, Nikon usually announces cameras within 3 months after wireless certification. That means we could see an official teaser or announcement around August-September of 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
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:
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.
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.
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.
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?

Let’s explore the key features of the 50-150mm f/2.0 GM lens.
Constant f/2.0 aperture: So it offers the best low light performance in its focal range, and at the same time, it gives you flexibility of 50 to 150mm. So it’s a kind of very unique combination of multiple prime lenses you are getting in a single zoom lens.
G Master optics: Sony has used the finest optical elements possible, which include extreme aspheric XA lenses that deliver edge-to-edge sharpness while holding minimal chromatic aberrations.
Fast and accurate autofocus: With the implementation of 4 XD Linear autofocus motors for rapid and silent focusing, the lens takes no time to lock autofocus on the moving subject.
Compact and lightweight: Why are we saying compact and lightweight for a lens that weighs 1340 grams? We are saying from a perspective—if you are buying a 135mm f/2 lens of Sigma for Sony E-mount, you have to carry approximately the same weight and the size too. In approximately the same weight and size, you are getting an amazing zoom lens in your hand which is capable of zooming in/zooming out from 50 to 150mm at f/2 aperture.
Rugged design: It’s completely weather-sealed so you can shoot in dusty and moist environments.
Why is this lens a game changer?
See, it is one of the unique and it’s better to say a revolutionary lens for many reasons. If we consider a single reason, that we are getting an f/2.0 aperture in a daily-use zoom lens which covers approximately 50–150mm distance, which was never possible before.
Tamron 35-150mm f/1.8–2.8 vs Sony 50-150mm F2.0
The Tamron 35-150mm f/1.8–2.8 lens. That’s the budget alternative, Sony 50-150mm F2.0. Centre sharpness-wise, Tamron will produce a great result. But if you want to have corner-to-corner sharpness and best-in-class optics, + brighter aperture at tele-end F2.0 vs F2.8, then for sure Sony is the best option.
The other major difference is the price tag. The Tamron 35-150 f/1.8–2.8 is available at $1599 at the B&H Store, whereas the Sony premium lens will cost you $4000. So if you can pay the price, then it’s completely okay. But if it matters, then Tamron is the best.
Who is this lens made for?
Sony 50-150mm f/2.0 lens is tailored for professional photographers—those who are into:
Wedding photography: So in wedding photography, it actually replaces the requirement of multiple prime lenses in your camera bag. Once you have this, it’s perfect and good to go for all kinds of candid and professional-looking portrait shots.
Portrait photographers: A portrait photographer generally carries lenses like 50mm, 85mm, and 135mm, and they pick and use the lenses depending upon the situation they are shooting in. So this lens will literally eliminate the requirement of having multiple prime lenses in your bag, and it will give you prime-like quality.
Event and concert photographers: If you do event or concert photography, specifically in dim light or low-light environments, then this lens is the best and the most versatile zoom lens available to you.
Indoor sports photographers: Compatible with teleconverters as well as features 4X linear autofocus motors, for blazing fast autofocus performance + AF tracking.
And finally, our Tamron 35-150mm—if you don’t want to spend that much, of course, Tamron is an excellent choice.
