According to the latest information, the Panasonic G9 II may arrive in September 2023. Previous rumors suggested that the camera was expected to arrive before November 2023. So, we are getting a time frame between September and November for the announcement.
Panasonic G9 II Specs
New 20 Mp Hybrid CMOS AF Sensor
4k 120fps
5-Axis Sensor Stabilization; Dual I.S. (New Gen)
80MP High-Res Shot Mode
Top Status LCD; Rear Joystick
The specs above are from an unreliable/new source but look legit, so we have decided to publish them.
On August 18, Viltrox officially announced that it will launch a new DJI DL mount lens, which will be exhibited for the first time at the 30th Beijing International Radio, Film, and Television Exhibition (BIRTV) held from August 23 to 26. The address is Booth 2B223, Hall 1, China International Exhibition Center (Chaoyang Pavilion).
So, finally, we have a picture of the Nikon Zf camera, the camera doesn’t carry a good handgrip despite having extensive manual controls and even a large DSLR-style EVF. The overall design looks very compact and travel-friendly.
At the same time, the AF joystick is also missing on the rear side of the camera.
Nikon Zf Updated Core Specification
Black camera body
24.4 MP BSI-CMOS sensor
Weight: 700g (inc. battery, the Z5 is 590g, the Z6II is 615g )
Dimensions: 144mm x 101mm
Up to 30fps (JPG/HEIF)
4k 60 video
USB C PD (fast-charging technology based on the USB-C standard)
ISO 100-64,000 (for comparison the Z6II ISO range is 100-51,200)
EN-EL15 battery
The Z f logo is moved to the left (the Zfc has it on the right)
Dual memory card slots (SD+MicroSD) – this is probably why the first reports came out with only one memory card slot, the second slot could
be hidden and be used just like the internal memory on some cameras
Pixel Shift: new high-res mode will be implemented for the first time in a Nikon mirrorless camera
August-September announcement, shipment before the end of 2023
Improved autofocus compared to Z5/Z6II
A few different lens kits/bundles will be available in the $2,000-$2,500 price range
Price for body only: $1,999
One of the bundles will be with the Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 (SE) lens (no new lens will be introduced with the Zf)
Very similar (but improved) design/layout from the Nikon Zfc
Small LCD screen on top for aperture display
New 3rd function on the sub lever of the shutter speed dial (besides photo/video) for B&W mode (B&W/Photo/Movie)
Has a little grip/bump like the Nikon Df (see the mockup pictures)
We have just published the news that Panasonic will soon update its major camera firmware to make it compatible with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) autofocusing system.
Pics that show the Panasonic S1H camera working in calibration with the LiDAR autofocusing system + RS Pro 3 gimbal to stabilize the camera. Although We don’t have that much detail on how the autofocus performed during the test, the combination of LiDAR autofocusing system with RS Pro 3 gimbal and Lumix S1H camera isn’t a cheap package.
Instead putting time on Lidar Tech, they should announce S1H Mark II with Hybrid Sensor asap – TNC
At the same time, they say they have already DEVELOPED their hybrid CMOS SENSOR, and we have already seen it in the Panasonic S5 MARK II mirrorless camera. Then, instead of investing time and money in LiDAR autofocusing system, it’s better to announce a new series of updated sensors for all their pro cameras with a hybrid system that they already have.
Nikon ZF image leaked with 40 mm f/2.8 AC lens. Although the image is blurry, from the design we are able to confirm that the lens being used in the camera is 40 mm f/2.8 SC which we have told you earlier is coming in the bundle with the Nikon ZF camera. In our previous post, you can look at it here.
Nikon’s new product Z f, comes from the latest YT video [screenshot] about DJI AIR3.
So finally it has started, we have seen the first image of the Nikon ZF camera and very soon we will witness more images and details, of course, specifications of the upcoming new concept of the camera.

Recently, the sensor market share data for 2022 has been released, and guess who is first on the list? It’s Sony, with a maximum of 42% of the global sensor market share. In the second position, we don’t have Canon, unfortunately. It’s Samsung with 19%, followed by Omnivision with 11%, STMicroelectronics with 6%, and Canon with only 1%.
So why does this big difference exist between the two? The reason is the ever-growing, booming smartphone industry. Despite being the world’s number one camera brand, Canon has only a 1% share in the sensor market data for the world in 2022. If they want to grow exponentially, they have to enter into the field of smartphones. Otherwise, this could happen: they will shift to the Panny Zone after 2025-26.
