 creative image of RAPTOR with Z Mount Finally, we are getting more confirmation about Nikon’s upcoming cinema camera with Z-mount. We already mentioned in the post we published on November 27, 2024, that the Nikon RED cinema camera will arrive in Q4 of 2025, and the design is inspired by the RED V-Raptor.
Now, suddenly, RED sent out an email offering users the opportunity to upgrade their Raptor camera with a Z-mount. The list of the camera names shared in RED emails are
- V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount Starter Pack
- V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount Production Pack (V-Lock)
- V-RAPTOR [X] Z Mount Production Pack (Gold Mount)
- V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Starter Pack
- V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Production Pack (V-Lock)
- V-RAPTOR [X] 8K VV Production Pack (Gold Mount)
- V-RAPTOR XL [X] 8K VV Production Pack (V-Lock)
- V-RAPTOR XL [X] 8K VV Production Pack (Gold Mount)
As you probably already noticed, the first three cameras are listed as RED for Z Mount. Now we are waiting for an official confirmation from Nikon, or they will keep it in their silent update list? we don’t know at this moment. At the very same time, they should also announce the Cinema Lenses roadmap soon, as they have for their Z Mount of cameras.

We don’t know the reason why this happened, but Nikon’s financial results recently came out, showing an overall decline in profits with a huge margin, specifically in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending March 2025.
As the report says, they have achieved only 39.1% of the sales target, so it doesn’t look that good. This is what they projected or what they thought—they have achieved only approximately 40% of that.
The company’s consolidated net profit from April to December fell 74.9% year over year and dropped to 6.26 billion. And now Profits for the most recent quarter (October-December) dropped 78.3% to 3.29 billion yen. Now, Nikon expects a 28.2% profit increase in the months of January to March, bringing the net profit to an overall figure of 9.73 billion yen.
The biggest thing that I have noticed is that their operating profit margin has also shrunk from 10.5% to 1.3%, which is really not good for any company out there, whether it’s a camera maker or a cellphone maker.
When a company’s operating profit margin drops to 1%, it indicates that the company is barely making money from its core business operations.

Before we begin, let me tell you one thing: both cameras carry almost the same core specifications like sensors, image processors, and other technical aspects, so the image quality and video quality will be the same.
Here comes the design part: if you would like a slightly retro-looking camera, you can go with the Olympus OM-3, the latest edition. But if you love to have the Olympus OM-1 Mark II, why would you love it? Because it has a deeper DSLR-style hand grip. Another thing is that due to the type of body construction, there is no overheating issue associated with this particular camera. Now, the OM-3 heatsink isn’t as good as the OM1 II, so it may be prone to overheating while recording 4K videos for a longer period.
Which Camera is Recommended for You?
If you love to have a DSLR-style hand grip and a professional-grade weather-sealed rugged body, then the OM-1 Mark II is the better choice. Another thing—yes, we do have some slight photography advantages inside the OM-1 Mark II, like an extended ISO range. Right now, we don’t have confirmation about the OM-3, but it does not have a very high-resolution electronic viewfinder of 5.76 million dots, as well as a mechanical shutter range up to 1/8000 of a second.
Professional grip easy to carry heavier lenses with the camera, and even makes feels you more and more comfortable when you hold this camera for longer hours for shoot, like shooting an event or wedding
Even the continuous shooting speed of the mechanical shutter is approximately 10 frames per second in the Olympus OM 1 mark II, which is limited to 6 frames in the OM-3. So, if you look at all the possible core specifications in both cameras, then for photographers who don’t bother about the type of design they are getting and are not inclined towards the retro-style camera, the best option is to buy the OM-1 Mark II.
The Olympus OM3 is even marketed as a street-style Retro camera. Most of the pics used for promotion showed people holding their cameras with straps and using a lightweight lens, but again professionals who hold their camera hands for longer periods will surely prefer the OM1 Mark II
For Videographers and Photographers
The best thing recently introduced in the new OM-3 camera is the OM-Cinema Mode. With the OM-Cinema Mode, you get a decent, slightly less-contrasty color picture profile, which is more suitable for displaying your captured videos on 4K HD televisions.
But again, you have to consider one thing—if you are a podcaster who records for longer periods, then you should go with the OM-1 Mark II, since it doesn’t have any limitations like the 120-minute recording limit in 4K on the OM-3.
If you are into longer recording sessions, then for sure, the OM-1 Mark II is the best choice. Additionally, it supports Full HD video recording at 240 fps for slow-motion shots.
Again, the Cinema Mode in the OM-3 can be easily adjusted in post-processing, so it’s not a big thing.

REDEFINE THE ART OF STORYTELLING: NIKON RELEASES THE NIKKOR ® Z 35MM F/1.2 S, A FAST WIDE-ANGLE PRIME LENS FOR NIKON Z MOUNT MIRRORLESS CAMERAS
Environmental Portrait Lens Provides Outstanding Optical Performance and Smooth, Beautiful Bokeh
MELVILLE, NY (February 4, 2025)—Today, Nikon Inc. announced the highly anticipated release of the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S, a medium-wide-angle prime lens with an impressively fast f/1.2 maximum aperture for professional photographers and filmmakers.
The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S is Nikon’s latest S-Line lens, a series synonymous with outstanding optical performance and handling. The lens emphasizes the main subjects with soft and beautiful bokeh, a dramatic shallow depth-of-field, and the realistic expression of textures. This classic wide-angle prime lens allows a creative use of the environment to tell a deeper story that connects meaningfully with the viewer.
“Our latest f/1.2 lens truly demonstrates the power of Nikon’s optical expertise, creating a lens that helps the user to portray more of the environment within a single, beautiful frame,” said Fumiko Kawabata, Sr. Vice President of Marketing and Planning, Nikon Inc. “The NIKKOR Z line of lenses continues to expand as we now offer more than 40 impressive optical solutions for Nikon Z Series users.”
The optical characteristics of the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S are finely tuned to create the perfect combination of sharpness and atmosphere. Soft, delicate organic textures, such as skin and hair, are rendered with a natural authenticity, while reflective objects like jewelry are sharp and free of distracting color aberrations. The NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S is a must-have lens for those shooting events, weddings, fashion, as well as for cinematography.
Sharing a similar design concept to the NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.2 S and the NIKKOR Z 85mm f/1.2 S, the new lens offers superior rendering capabilities as well as depiction of the scene with a sense of depth, even with its wide angle of view. The optical design includes three ED glass elements and one aspherical ED element, enabling effective reduction of false color aberrations. In addition, the application of Nikon’s proprietary Meso Amorphous Coat, Nano Crystal Coat, and ARNEO Coat minimize ghosting and flare and provide outstanding optical performance.
Primary Features of the NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S
- Enables unique imaging styles through the combination of high resolving power achieved by superior optical performance, smooth and beautiful bokeh that takes full advantage of the shallow depth-of-field at f/1.2, and 35mm angle of view.
- Achieves a sense of depth with smooth bokeh that transitions gently as it moves away from the focal plane.
- A lens structure with symmetry in front of and behind the aperture realizes outstanding optical performance.
- Three ED glass elements and one aspherical ED glass elements enable effective correction of various lens aberrations.
- Adoption of Meso Amorphous Coat, Nano Crystal Coat and ARNEO Coat effectively reduces ghosting and flares for clear rendering even in tough lighting conditions.
- Adoption of a multi-focusing system1 that uses stepping motors (STMs) realizes fast and accurate AF drive for both still images and video.
- Features a design optimized for video, including a clickless control ring, silent focusing and stable exposure, and suppressed focus breathing to effectively reduces shifts to the angle of view when focusing.
- Two convenient L-Fn buttons, to which a wide variety of functions can be assigned, enable smooth adjustment of settings, even during vertical shooting.
- Superior dust and drip-resistant performance2 is ensured by sealing various parts of the lens, including movable parts of the lens barrel.
Price and Availability
The new Nikon NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.2 S lens will be available in late February 2025 for a suggested retail price of $2,799.95*3. For more information about the latest Nikon products, including the vast collection of NIKKOR Z lenses and the entire line of Z series cameras

 Identical twins – Body design, and button layout remain the same, the only change in the camera name is noticeable Now we have created a different table where we have sorted out the major differences between the two. The thing that disappoints us, number one, is that there is no major upgrade we can find in the hardware zone of the camera. The sensor, the image processor, the lens, and even the battery—everything remains as it was in the predecessor of the camera. And the thing that disappointed us more is the drop in image stabilization support. Now, the P1100 camera got an IBIS rating of 4.0 stops only, whereas the Nikon P1000 camera had an image stabilization rating of 5.0 stops from CIPA.

| New Fireworks Show Scene Mode and Long Exposure NR. |
| Connectivity Features Improved – WPA3-SAE Wi-Fi for greater security and Bluetooth 5.1 |
Verdict:
The Nikon P1100 camera announced, does carry some necessary updates— most notably, the addition of a USB-C port, which is now mandatory for all electronic devices in the European Union. Other than that, the camera does have some minor upgrades, so if someone already has a P1000 camera, there is no need to spend extra money on this one, as the overall core specifications remain the same as those of the P1000.
Those who are looking for a mega zoom camera can buy it, since the P1000 has now been discontinued by Nikon, making the P1100 the only remaining super mega zoom model in the market.
