According to the latest news we have from the rumor mill, there is a high possibility that Sony may announce a full-frame camera, possibly the Sony A9 Mark II, on November 8, 2023. Not only the camera, Sony is also expected to announce a new 300mm lens and a major update to the Sony Alpha A1 firmware. Stay tuned more updates coming Follow us on our social pages FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM, If you have time –>see more Sony Alpha Rumor More rumors related to the Sony A9 III camera are surfacing as the announcement date draws closer. We will soon have a confirmed set of specifications as well as images of the upcoming camera, but before that, let’s have a look at the set of rumors we have related to the A9 III camera. According to the latest set of LATEST set of leaks, this camera will feature a 44-megapixel full-frame stacked CMOS sensor with the ability to record 8K video at 60 frames per second. Take a look at the major specs below. Sony A9 III Specification [Latest Rumored]
Although the mentioned specifications are slightly different from those we have shared in the past, we still believe that before announcing a flagship camera, the camera maker tests different types of prototypes in their lab. Maybe the recently mentioned 44MP-based model is one of the few prototypes of the A9 III camera. Sony A9 III Specification [Rumored]
We have to wait and see which camera bodies finally get approved for the production line. As soon as we get any new information related to the A9 III camera, we will update you soon. sources SAR First, let’s look at the body design of the two cameras. The Nikon ZF features a retro body design with extensive manual controls. So, if you’re a photographer, the Nikon ZF is highly recommended, especially from a design perspective. What I love about the Nikon ZF, apart from its extensive manual control, is the placement of the electronic viewfinder and its higher resolution. Not only does the EVF have a higher resolution, but the display of the camera also features a higher resolution compared to Sony’s A7 C Mark II. Unfortunately, the Sony A7 C Mark II features a single card slot. In contrast, the Nikon ZF has a MicroSD card slot along with a UHSII SD card slot. As a photographer, you get an extra slot to save your JPEG files if you wish to. Both cameras lack a joystick, but in the Nikon ZF, you have the option to use your display screen as a touchpad for selecting or moving autofocus points while looking at the viewfinder. That’s another interesting feature that we have inside the Nikon ZF camera. Overall, design-wise, I highly recommend that if you are a photographer, you should go with the Nikon ZF camera.
Now let’s look at the internal core specifications of both cameras: 1. 24 megapixels versus 33 megapixelsAs we all know, the Nikon ZF camera uses a 24-megapixel APS-C sensor from the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera and the Sony Mark II camera uses the sensor from Sony’s A7 IV. To find out, we have compared images from the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera with those from the Sony A7 IV and tried to find out the difference between the two. Side by Side ComparisonWe are comparing two images side by side. On one side, we have the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera, and on the other, we have the Sony A7 IV. These two cameras were chosen for comparison because the Nikon ZF camera uses the same sensor as the Nikon Z6 Mark II, and the Sony A7C Mark II uses the same sensor as the Sony A7 IV. From the two images, it is quite clear that the Sony A7 IV camera’s 33-megapixel sensor captures slightly more detail. Therefore, those who are using the Sony A7 Mark II camera will certainly observe more detail compared to the Nikon Z6 Mark II. 2. Multi-Shot 96 MP High-Resolution ImagesOne of the major key differences between the two is that the recently announced Nikon ZF camera can capture 96-megapixel high-resolution images. However, these images should be taken with a tripod. Once the shot is done, it should be uploaded to the Nikon NX software to merge all the images. This means that the camera will not merge the images; it will only capture them. It’s also not recommended to use a handheld when capturing 96-megapixel resolution images.

3. Auto FocusingLet’s discuss the auto-focusing system of both cameras. For the first time, we are seeing the auto-focusing algorithms of the Nikon Z8 and Nikon Z9 in a camera under $2000. If we compare the auto-focusing points, on one side we have 759 in the Sony A7C Mark II, and on the other side, in the Nikon ZF, we have only 273. At the same time, being a Sony camera, we have no doubt about the focusing capabilities of the Sony A7C Mark II. The Nikon ZF’s auto-focusing has very much improved and now has the ability to track 9 different types of subjects or objects in its tracking mode. So more or less, both cameras are the best in their own class.
4. Burst SpeedThe continuous burst speed of both cameras is quite different. The Nikon ZF is able to shoot up to 15 frames per second with a mechanical shutter, and while shooting with the mechanical shutter, you will not have any rolling effect with the camera up to 15 FPS. After 15 FPS, the electronic shutter gets activated and now with the electronic shutter, you can shoot up to 30 frames per second. With the Sony A7C Mark II camera, the maximum burst speed of the camera is limited to 11 frames per second with a mechanical shutter. Although you do get a higher resolution sensor at 33MP, if you are a wildlife photographer, then without a doubt, I would recommend you to go with the Nikon ZF camera since you have two options: one is a faster mechanical shutter with 15 FPS and the other is the electronic shutter with a speed up to 30 frames per second. 5. Upto – 10 EV AF sensitivity in Nikon ZFOne key factor to consider before making a decision is the low-light focusing capability of the cameras. The Nikon ZF camera is able to focus up to -10 EV at an aperture of f1.2, making its focusing capability in near-dark situations best in its class. On the other hand, the Sony A7C Mark II camera has an auto-focus sensitivity of -2 EV. This information could be crucial depending on your photography needs. 6. Nikon Zf uses a Touchscreen as a TouchpadAnother advantage of the Nikon ZF camera is that you can use your touchscreen as a trackpad while looking through the viewfinder. This means you can focus on your subject while looking at the electronic EVF, and at the same time, you can use your touchscreen display as a trackpad to move your auto-focusing points. With the Sony A7C Mark II camera, this is not possible as it neither has the touch and track capability of the Nikon ZF nor a joystick controller on the rear side of the camera.
7. Best Camera for VideoWhen comparing the video capabilities of the Nikon ZF and Sony Alpha 7C Mark II, both cameras can record oversampled 4K videos at 24 and 30 fps. However, the Sony Alpha 7C Mark II, with its 33-megapixel full-frame sensor, is expected to provide slightly more detail in video quality. In the 4K 60 fps video mode, both cameras crop at 1.5x, meaning that the 4K 60fps is recorded in APS-C format. The recording time limit for the Sony Alpha 7C Mark II is unlimited, while the Nikon ZF has a recording time limit of 125 minutes in 4K. This is more than sufficient unless you plan to use your mirrorless camera as a security camera. Both cameras are capable of recording 10-bit videos internally. The Nikon ZF has a pre-shooting buffer that you can set to timings like 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 1 minute and 30 seconds. The Sony Alpha 7C Mark II has some videography features absent in the Nikon ZF, such as AI auto framing and a gyroscopic image stabilization mechanism. These features make the Sony Alpha 7C Mark II more helpful for content creators due to its AI autofocusing and auto-framing techniques.

One of the most important things that you will notice is that the camera is able to have two SD card slots, one is micro SDHC and the other is UHS-II standard.
One of the good things associated with the Nikon ZF camera is that you will get a higher resolution display as well as a higher resolution that really helps a photographer if they would like to have a better experience and better shooting experience with a camera.

General
Finally, the Nikon ZF camera has arrived at almost the same announcement price as the Z6 Mark II. For those who were waiting for the Z6 Mark 3 camera update, this can be a perfect replacement for the Z6 Mark II camera. The sensor isn’t new; it is the same sensor that we have seen in the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera. However, we do have a brand new image processor that enables many new features that we have seen in the Nikon Z8 or Z9 camera. 10 Brand New Features of Nikon Z8 Camera
During initial tests, Digital Photography Review team members found that the rolling shutter of the Nikon ZF camera is at 22 milliseconds in 4K at 30p capture which is exactly similar to Panasonic S5 Mark II camera. One thing to note is that it’s not only a coincidence; Panasonic also shoots 4K at 60fps video in crop mode (that is in 1.5 x DX crop mode). The Nikon ZF camera has a body design similar to the Nikon FM2, with extensive manual control and a small LCD on top to show the current aperture value. The camera looks extremely amazing from its design perspective. Since it’s an FM2 design-based camera, technically you don’t get a hand grip. A Micro SD card slot was added to make it more compact and also to give photographers dual cars slot option, so you have one USH II SD and one USH I Micro SD card slot. Get your Nikon Zf Camera from B&H $1996 | B&H Store with 24-70mm Lens Nikon finally announced the long rumored Nikon Zf Camera, the camera features lot of new features, although the sensor remains same as of the Nikon Z6 Mark II camera. Take a look at the Major set of features of the camera Key specifications
The camera is available B&H $1996 | B&H Store with 24-70mm Lens Nikon Zf Press ReleaseTHE NIKON Z f: INNOVATION THAT DRIVES CREATIVITY The Nikon Z f is the Beautiful Convergence of Groundbreaking Technology + Iconic Design MELVILLE, NY (September 20, 2023) Today Nikon announced the release of the Z f, a full-frame mirrorless camera that harmonizes a timeless aesthetic with the best of Nikon’s next-gen camera technology, derived directly from the acclaimed Z 8 and flagship Z 9. At first glance, the Z f is a definitive statement in functional design that ignites the desire to craft an image. Looking closer, it’s a veritable powerhouse of modern performance fueled by the EXPEED 7 processing engine that enables an enhanced AF system, impressive speed and astounding low-light capability. The new processing power also adds incredible new features such as pixel-shift shooting, the most advanced in-body stabilization of any Z series camera, plus the addition of a dedicated monochrome mode. “It’s exciting to see the leaps in innovation that propelled the Z 9 trickling down, making the latest technology and features more accessible than ever before inside the Z f, a camera which is a beautiful marriage of form and function,” said Jay Vannatter, Executive Vice President, Nikon Inc. “The Z f is more than a means to simply capturing an image; using the camera is an experience unto itself, one which not only sparks creativity, but also elevates the user’s intent with its advanced performance and feature set.” Technology Forward With the additional processing power, the Z f achieves 5-axis in-camera vibration reduction (VR) image stabilization equivalent to an 8.0-stop2 increase in shutter speed, the best among Nikon Z series cameras. The Z f is also the world’s first camera3 to support focus-point VR4, which minimizes blurring at the focus point rather than the center of the frame, even when subject is positioned near the edge of the viewfinder. The camera is also capable of high-speed continuous shooting at approx. 14 frames per second, or up to 30 frames per second5, when High-Speed Frame Capture+ (C30) is set. To ensure no shot is missed, the camera is also capable of using the Pre-Release function to start recording before the shutter is fully pressed.6 What’s more, the additional processing power in combination with the BSI sensor improves low-light performance, raising the standard ISO range from 100 to 64,000. In challenging light, even fine details and textures come out sharp and clear with rich saturation, while mid-tones, where noise tends to increase, come out much cleaner than before. For those who want the ultimate in fidelity while reducing moiré, false colors and noise for immersive depth, the Z f is the first Nikon camera capable of pixel-shift shooting7 to create images up to 96 megapixels. Ideal for landscape, architecture and commercial artists, the system works by subtly shifting the image sensor position when capturing between 4, 8, 16 or 32 RAW (NEF) files, acquiring more accurate color information and massive resolution. Forever IconicThe heart of the Z f is “fusion”- an idea embedded in the name while paying homage to important models through Nikon’s history. It represents the fusion of past, present and future. With an iconic exterior design reminiscent of the FM2, the Z f links Nikon’s heritage of innovation and precision craftsmanship. The magnesium-alloy body is durable and features a glossy finish, which is adorned with a classic Nikon logo. The characters on the mechanical dials for shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation are all etched, and provide the user with satisfying tactile response, while the feel of the shutter-release button was given meticulous consideration. Black and white capture is an ageless medium, one that lets the user see a different perspective and explore the principles of light in new ways. The Z f includes a physical switch to engage a dedicated B&W photo mode, which enables multiple monochromatic Picture Controls. In addition to the sharp, dynamic and higher-contrast “Monochrome” mode in Picture Control, the new “Flat Monochrome” mode reproduces tones with a smooth gradation from shadow to light, rich in mid-tones for a warm, soft impression. The new “Deep Tone Monochrome” mode expresses high-contrast and highlights by bringing more emphasis to dark tones, keeping mid-tones dark and with fewer blocked shadows. Primary features of the ZfFull-frame 24.5-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor combined with the new EXPEED 7 Processing engine for amazing fidelity and image quality paired with stellar processing power. With up to 299 points in Auto-area AF, the range of coverage and number of focus points used in Auto-area AF mode have been increased for better focus acquisition performance with distant or moving subjects. The first full-frame Z-series mirrorless camera to be equipped with a vari-angle touchscreen monitor. Starlight view mode boosts display brightness for users to visually confirm composition in extremely dark scenes. It also achieves sharp focus with the low-light limit extendable down to -10 EV.8 Video frame rates and resolutions up to 4K UHD 30 oversampled from 6K,9 as well as 4KUHD 60P (DX-mode) and 1080/120P with recording times up to 125 minutes.10 The first Nikon camera to feature video recording in shutter-priority auto mode, letting the user select the shutter speed, while the camera adjusts the aperture and ISO. In-camera, 10-bit H.265 recording, allowing users to record full-scale video directly to the camera without the need for an external recorder. The first Z-series camera to support Touch Fn for adjustment of camera settings while framing pictures in the viewfinder. The user is now able to move the focus point via the LCD screen while looking through the viewfinder. Supports the merging of NEF (RAW) images shot with pixel shift shooting to create a highly detailed image up to 96 megapixels. Fast shooting, with up 14 fps bursts plus High-Speed Frame Capture+ (C30), which achieves high-speed continuous shooting at up to 30 fps. Pre-Release Capture is also available, buffering the images before the shutter is fully depressed. Advanced features for dedicated portrait photographers include the skin softening function and a portrait impression balance function for users to better achieve the portraits they intended. Rich Tone Portrait Picture Control is a new setting that better captures details of the subject’s complexion. Equipped with two memory card slots, one compatible with widely available UHS II SD cards and the other compatible with Micro SD cards. Rugged and reliable construction, with magnesium alloy on the front and top covers, for maximum durability with minimal weight. The camera is engineered with high dust- and drip-resistance,11 effective sealing on the exterior cover joints, shutter-release button and vari-angle mechanism. Additionally, an electro-conductive coat that keeps the surface clean from dust and a fluorine coat that makes for easier cleaning. In addition to the basic black body, the Z f lets users express their own style through six different color options. These premium exteriors render the embossed artificial leather sections of the camera — covering the grip and all around to the rear of the folding camera monitor — in three rich, expressive standard colors (Indigo Blue, Sepia Brown, Bordeaux Red) and three deep, warm natural colors (Sunset Orange, Moss Green, Stone Gray), rendered with individually matching surface textures. These colors will be sold in limited quantity and will be sold exclusively through the Nikon Store.
