So, let’s talk about the Nikon ZDc rumour, which is now floating across various platforms, specifically from the E88_88 source. This type of rumour indicates that Nikon may introduce a hybrid DSLR camera specifically targeting beginners, it will be an attempt to cover the 200D Mark II / 200D market share. The camera is still hugely popular in the Asian market, and many content creators are still using Canon’s 200D series cameras. It suggests they might announce a hybrid DSLR camera with a ZDc name.
TNC take: This rumour is not correct in any way. DSLR makers have tried their best since 2018 to establish themselves in the mirrorless market. Nikon is doing very well with its mirrorless offerings, starting with the baseline Z30 and ending with the Z9 camera. So, I don’t think this particular rumour sounds logical to me.

List of upcoming Nikon cameras for 2025. Now, let’s discuss what’s next from Nikon, as per the latest rumors. Due to the recent developments in AI Processing Units and software-based technology, Upcoming Nikon cameras now pushing the performance limits to a new standard. Not only about the upcoming Mirrorless camera, We have strong hints that Nikon is working on a RED-style Cinema camera too, other than that Nikon Z9 Mk II, Nikon Z7 III, Nikon Z30 II, and more…, coming in the year if 2025. So, let’s start with the Nikon Z30 II
Canon Upcoming Cameras 2025 | Sony Upcoming Cameras 2025
1. Nikon Z30 II
Nikon Z30 Mark II or Nikon Z30 II is expected to feature the same Expeed 7 image processor and the same 20.9 MP sensor of the Nikon Z50 II camera, with the following set of expected core specs.
So there you see, possibilities exist, and now let’s discuss these cameras’ expected core specifications.
Possible Specs of the Nikon Z30 Mark II
- 20.9MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor
- EXPEED 7 Image Processor
- UHD 4K 60p Video (Crop Mode) with 125-Minute Limit
- Full HD 120fps Slow-Motion Recording
- 10-Bit Internal Recording via HDMI
- Hybrid AF with Enhanced Eye and Face Detection
- Subject Detection for 9 Types (animals, vehicles, etc.)
- 3″ Free angle Touchscreen LCD (180° for vlogging)

Nikon Z30 Mark II Arrival Date [Expected Timeline]
Based on Nikon’s product update trends and the typical lifecycle for entry-level models, the Nikon Z30 Mark II announcement is likely to happen around on Q4 of 2025 or Q1 of 2026.
2. Nikon Z5 Mark II
According to the rumors, the next camera after the Z50II is the Nikon Z5 Mark II, which is expected to arrive on or before the first quarter of 2025. The camera uses 24 Mp BSI CMOS sensor and the latest Expeed 7 Image processor, as well as updated AI AF, coming directly from the Nikon Z8 camera, so overall we will have a massive improvement in the Nikon Z5 Mark II camera
Nikon Z5 II Major specification
- 24.5MP Full-Frame BSI CMOS Sensor
- Expeed 7 image processor
- 4K UHD 30p / Full HD 120p Video Recording, 1.5x 60p with crop
- 273-Point Hybrid AF with Eye and Animal Detection
- 5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilization
- Bright 3.69M-Dot OLED Electronic Viewfinder
- 3.2″ Tilting Touchscreen LCD
- Dual UHS-II SD Card Slots
- Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Connectivity
- USB-C Charging and Power Delivery Support
That is interesting and if it arrives, specifically with IBIS then for sure Canon R8 will get a very tough competition from Z5 II.
3. Nikon Z9 II
Nikon Z9 II will get the Expeed 8 image processor, image processor will remain the same. That means we will get a massive update in the processing power of the existing Z9 camera, which will directly affect the autofocusing algorithms, specifically 3D object tracking, continuous shooting speed, video recording resolution, and frame rate. So for sure, we will have a massive update in the camera’s core specifications. The camera is expected to arrive in the fourth quarter of 2025.
4. Nikon Z7 III
the Nikon Z7 Mark III will mark its presence sometime in August to November 2025. As per the latest rumors, Nikon will bring a higher resolution sensor the the Z7 III series, probably a 61 MP sensor from Sony or a 67MP sensor from Towerjazz, Nikon has been working with 67Mp sensor Prototypes for more than 2 years. Some rumor mills believe the upcoming Nikon Z7 III will get the same 45.7 Mp stacked CMOS sensor, but that is not true. The priority of Nikon is to keep the Z7 III in competition or better than the Sony A7R series, specifically in terms of image quality and dynamic range.
Nikon Z7 III Specification
- 61 + MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor
- 8K30p 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 II is of the most outdated camera of Nikon Z mount along with the Nikon Z5, so Nikon Z7 III update will sure arrive in 2025 without a doubt, if we will get any updated related to the same will update you asap.
5. Nikon Cinema Camera
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.
In past, 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.
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.
Potential Release of KOMODO or Raptor with Zmount:
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.
Arrival Date of Nikon Cinema Camera – We would love to have a development announcement from Nikon on or before Q4 of 2024. although they have already announced the development of their first cinema lens 28-135mm for Z mount.
6. Nikon Z90
According to the latest rumors, the 33 MP sensor prototype is expected to be approved for production. But at the same time, Nikon is now very concerned about market demand and is not just throwing up every mirrorless line in front of users. If they see very clearly that there is market demand, then they will surely announce the Nikon Z90 camera.
Nikon Z90 Latest Rumored Specification
- 33.4 Mp DX-Format CMOS Sensor
- EXPEED 7 Image Processor
- UHD 4K60p/Full HD 180fps Video Recording
- 5-Axis In-Body Vibration Reduction
- Focus-Point Stabilization
- AI AF, Improved 3D Autofocus, 9 Subject Detection
- Pre-Release Capture, 15 Mechanical Shooting
- Dual UHS-II SD Slots
- 5 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Nikon has lowered the price of full-frame Z cameras, starting with the Z5 and Z6 II, as well as the ZF. All these full-frame cameras are in a reasonable price range. The main intention of the brand right now is to upscale the user experience to a frame sensor as much as possible. So, they can have as many options as possible in terms of Z-mount bodies and lenses.
So, we do not doubt the prototypes being tested in Nikon’s lab, and the Nikon Z90 will surely be announced in the near future. However, only time will tell when the marketing team gives a green flag to these prototypes.
7. Nikon Z80
There is very little chattering about the Nikon Z80 camera. Of course, if it arrives, it will be somewhere in between the Z90 and the Z50 Mark II camera. If you have to make an educated guess for a core specification of the Nikon Z80, then it will have a 24 MP DX partially stacked BSI CMOS sensor, paired with active pixel image stabilization, and 4K 60 FPS recording without any crop.
But again, the information related to a concept Z80 camera is very less. As soon as we get any information related to that, we will be updating you soon.
8. Nikon Z4
Nikon Z4 camera rumor: Back in 2022, we spotted a Nikon compact full-frame release camera body with very minimal controls. No EVF was included in the back to reduce the production line cost, and at the very same time, a tiny display was visible on top of the body. So, from this patent, it was very clear that Nikon is very mindful about developing a super budget full-frame body that will allow users to get a full-frame camera at a super affordable price range.
We received this theory from a source we trust a lot, but at the very same time, we decided not to publish it when we received it at that time, since at that time it didn’t look logical to me, but finally I am publishing it here
According to the source, Nikon will surely announce this Z5 II body next year (which means 2025). But at the very same time, they are also thinking parallelly to put the core specifications of the existing Z5 Mirrorless camera, paired with the Expeed 7 image processor, in a super budget body. By removing the EVF, the production line cost will go down, and with the video-core specifications and autofocus performance of the camera being improved, Nikon will position it as an entry-level Fullframe camera.

Nikon Z9 will get the Expeed 8 image processor. That means we will get a massive update in the processing power of the existing Z9 camera, which will directly affect the autofocusing algorithms, specifically 3D object tracking, continuous shooting speed, video recording resolution, and frame rate. So for sure, we will have a massive update in the camera’s core specifications. The camera is expected to arrive in the fourth quarter of 2025.
List of FX Bodies to be announced with Expeed 8 Image processor in the near future
- 2028 — Z50 III, Z6 IV
- 2027 — Zf II [Late 2026 or early 2027], Z8 II
- 2026 — Z30II [Q1 of 2026 or Late 2025]
- 2025 — Z9 II, ZfcII (bold indicates likely EXPEED8 cameras)
- overdue: Z5II, Z7III
If we closely study the announcement pattern of Nikon then after the Z9 II, the most eligible FX-format Mirrorless body is the Nikon Zf II waiting for an update.
Stay tuned will will bring more updates soon.

Let’s talk about Nikon’s upcoming lens adapter, which features a built-in autofocus motor to properly enable autofocus with AF, and AF-D lenses that require a motor. Right now, none of the FTZ adapters are compatible with AF/ AF-D lenses.
These adapters will have a somewhat retro design and look fabulous when paired with the Nikon ZF camera. The adapter’s name is not confirmed yet; it might be called FTZ III, FTG SC, or something else, so we are not very sure about the name at this point.
When will it arrive?
The adapter is expected to arrive in the fourth quarter of 2025. Many people have been waiting for such an adapter for a long time. Some third-party Lens adapters are available (AF/AF-D to E Mount), but they don’t do the job perfectly.
stay tuned more updates coming

Nikon took more than 2 plus years to bring the Nikon Z30 after the arrival of the Nikon Z50 camera. The Nikon Z30 camera was announced in June 2022. Considering the time gap, it has already been 2 years since the announcement. For an entry-level model like the Nikon Z30, with recording limit limitations of 4K up to 30 min and a limited set of videography features, the camera looks outdated when we compare its features against the closest competitor Sony ZV-E10. Considering the current competition, we believe the Nikon Z30 Mark II might arrive in Q4 of 2025 or early Q1 of 2026, here is why… in more details
The market is volatile; competitors offer much more advanced features at the same price range. For example, we have the Sony ZV-10 camera, which arrives at the same price range and offers unlimited recording, a dedicated product showcase mode, electronic image stabilization, face exposure tracking, and a headphone jack — features the Nikon Z30 lacks.
Fortunately, Nikon has just overcome the time gap with their new Z50 II model, although it falls within the mid-range APS-C mirrorless camera tier. The latest Nikon Z50 Mark II camera model features a product review mode, 10-bit internal recording, NLog, RED LUTs, and waveforms. Additionally, we can record 4K at 60fps in crop mode with the help of the new Expeed 7 image processor. Moreover, video autofocus and 3D object tracking have been improved much more compared to the previous generation of Nikon Z DX cameras.
Now we come to the basic question: will Nikon take the same timeline or gap they took in the introduction of the Nikon Z30, or will they shorten the timeline between the introduction of entry-level models?
As we know, this technology will not remain limited to the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera. Most of the videography features that we see right now in the Z50 will be transferred to the Z30 Mark II after 7 to 8 months of gap. Why so? 7 to 8 months is considered to be the peak sales period of any camera, and once this period is over and the sales start falling, the camera makers generally introduce budget variants of the same to target a different group of users, ensuring they maintain their market presence.
Now, keeping all these things in mind let’s discuss the possible core specifications of the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera
Possible Specs of the Nikon Z30 Mark II
Imagine and Processor:
- 20.9MP DX-Format CMOS Sensor
- EXPEED 7 Image Processor
Video Specs:
- 125 Minutes Recording Time Limit in 4K
- UHD 4K60p Video Recording (with crop mode)
- Full HD 120fps Slow-Motion Recording
- Live Streaming at 60p
- Product Review mode
- 10 Bit Internal recording (Via HDMI)
Autofocus System:
- Hybrid AF with Improved Eye and Face Detection
- Subject Detection for 9 Types (animals, vehicles, etc.)
Screen and Viewfinder:
- 3″ 1.04m-Dot Free-Angle Touchscreen LCD (180° tilting for vlogging)
Audio and Connectivity:
- Built-In Stereo Mic with Wind Noise Reduction
- External Mic 3.5mm
- New Tally Lamp Design for Recording Indicator
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for Seamless Connectivity
Vlogging Features:
- Vlogging-Optimized Design
- Dedicated Selfie Controls
- Picture Control Button for Quick Adjustments
Shooting and Storage:
- ISO 100-51200
- Up to 11 fps Continuous Shooting
- Single SD Memory Card Slot
Excluded Features (To Protect Z50 II Sales):
- No electronic viewfinder (to keep the Z30 Mark II focused on vlogging and content creation)
- Photographic enhancements like burst shooting at 30 fps are reserved for Z50 II.
- Market Segmentation: Nikon will likely reserve 10-bit internal recording for the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera, to maintain its appeal to semi-professional users and protect its future sales.
- Target Audience: The Z30 series targets vloggers and casual content creators who don’t spend much time grading 10-bit videos, they give priority to ease of use and affordability over advanced video specifications. Offering a 10-bit recording might not align with this audience’s actual needs.
This spec list allows the Z30 Mark II to inherit the key video features of the Z50 Mark II while keeping advanced photographic capabilities exclusive to the Z50 Mark II, thus maintaining distinct positioning for both models.
.Nikon Z30 Mark II Arrival Date [Expected Timeline]
Based on Nikon’s product update trends and the typical lifecycle for entry-level models, the Nikon Z30 Mark II announcement is likely to happen around on Q4 of 2025 or Q1 of 2026.
This prediction considers several factors [Already explained above in the article]:
- Product Lifecycle: Nikon released the Z30 in June 2022. Entry-level cameras typically follow a 2.5–3-year refresh cycle.
- Competition Pressure: With competitors like Sony aggressively updating models (e.g., ZV-E10 successors), Nikon may feel compelled to respond faster.
- Sales Strategy: Nikon may prioritize the peak sales period of the Z50 Mark II (expected earlier than Z30 Mark II) to maximize market presence before introducing the budget variant.
Thus, Q4 of 2025 to Q1 of 2026 is a reasonable estimate for the Z30 Mark II announcement.

According to the latest information on the web, Nikon engineers are working rigorously to bring out the next generation of Red cinema cameras under Nikon’s branding with 8K recording capability paired with the Z-mount / optional PL-Mount. The Working Prototypes of the cameras are under extensive testing, Design wise its inspired by the RED V-Raptor. The Camera is scheduled to arrive sometime in Q4 of 2025, but again, if it gets delayed due to issues occurring in the final production line model, then the announcement will get shifted to Q1 of 2026. So now we have the exact time frame for the next Nikon Red cinema camera.

Which camera is better for capturing images or recording content, the Nikon Z50 II or the Sony A6700? In this specification comparison, we will focus on the major differences between these two cameras. Besides the key feature differences, these cameras also vary in price, so when selecting your camera, consider all these factors before making a purchase.
Initially, in the design part, one thing I like about the Sony A6700 camera is its larger battery life. The Sony A6700 uses an NP-FZ100 battery, so you get approximately 2x battery life compared to the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera. However, the Z50 II has an upgraded Bluetooth antenna, which allows for faster transfer speeds. Another good feature introduced in the Z50 II is the silent transfer mode, enabling you to use your camera for shooting or capturing video while it silently transfers your images or videos in the background to your smartphone or PC. Although there aren’t many differences in the design patterns, both cameras are highly usable for photographers and content creators in terms of design and build

In the imaging comparison, we have compared the two different sensors and their specs. The big advantage of the Nikon Z50 II camera’s sensor—and a major reason why Nikon continues using it in their mirrorless lineup—is its strong low-light performance. The sensor pixel area is larger than that of the A6700, so even without optical stabilization, it captures more detail in low-light environments. Additionally, the Z50 II has an expanded ISO range that offers one more stop than the A6700. With these core differences, it’s clear that the Nikon Z50 II will perform better in low-light or uncontrolled lighting environments compared to the A6700.
Resolution Advantage of Sony A6700:
Now, with the Sony A6700 camera, we are getting a resolution advantage, but will it work in actual conditions? We will test and find out that capturing images near the base ISO range will bring more details from Sony with OLPF or with a 20.9 MP sensor without OLPF (Optical low-pass filter).

Continuous Shooting Speed:
Another significant difference is continuous shooting speed. Both cameras feature up to 11 fps with their mechanical shutters, but Nikon allows up to 30 fps with its electronic shutter. And in A6700 we don’t have the support of an Electronic shutter in Brust mode, so the maximum speed we are getting in A6700 is 11 Fps.
Buffer Memory and Pre-Burst Capture Mode:
Comparing buffer memory, the Z50 II can store up to 200 RAW files in a single shot, whereas the A6700 can store approximately 50. Now with the help of Pre Brust capture mode feature in the Z50 II is that it engages its buffer memory before shooting starts. This means that when you capture an image, the camera saves a stack of images even before the shutter is pressed, ensuring you don’t miss key moments.
Low-Light Autofocus Sensitivity:
Another strength is the Z50 II’s low-light AF sensitivity, which reaches -9 EV, compared to -3 EV on the Sony A6700.
Autofocus System:
The Sony A6700 has 759 phase-detect AF points for autofocus, while the Z50 II is limited to 231 points. This gives the A6700 a more advanced autofocus system, but Nikon has closed the gap by introducing similar AF algorithms to those seen in the Nikon Z8. So, while Sony may still have the edge in AF, the Z50 II’s performance now comes very close.
Image Stabilization
Sony A6700 camera features sensor-shift Image stabilization as well as GYRO, so if you are shooting still images of video the Sony A6700 camera is more helpful to you compared to Nikon Z50 II without IBIS and normal E- VR mode.
Best Camera for Different Environments:
So, if you’re working in a controlled lighting environment, the Sony A6700 may be more useful. However, if you’re often in uncontrolled or outdoor environments—like wildlife photography where lighting and subject positions vary—then a camera that performs better in low-light conditions may be preferable, making the Z50 II a better choice.

This side-by-side comparison should help you see each camera’s strengths and features in detail. Now its time for a recommendation
Sony A6700: Higher Frame Rates and Minimal Crop in 4K
In the video comparison tables above clearly shows that with the Sony A6700 camera, we are getting higher frame rates up to 120 fps in 4K. Although we have to face significant crop in that mode, at the same time, in the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera, even at 4K 60 fps, we have to face a 1.5X crop, whereas in the Sony A6700 camera, the crop at 4K 60p is minimal, at only 1.04x. So more or less, if we talk about the usability of frame rates, we are getting more advanced specifications in the Sony A6700 camera.
Sony A6700: Superior Gyro-Based Image Stabilization for On-the-Go Shooting
Another significant advantage of the Sony A6700 camera is the presence of a gyro-based image stabilization system, so if you are hand-holding the camera and creating content on the go, then the most suitable camera for you is again the Sony A6700 camera.
Sony A6700: High Frame Rate Options for Slow-Motion and Content Creation
Again, for dance videos or creating reels that need higher frame rates, the Sony A6700 camera allows you to capture full HD videos up to 240 fps for creating super slow-motion videos. So if you talk about frame rates or gyro-based image stabilization, you are getting all that in the Sony A6700 camera, which also supports 10-bit internal recording with S-Log2, S-Log3, and Hybrid Log Gamma, so you can extract as much detail as you require for a given scene.
Nikon Z50 II: Exceptional Low-Light Performance and Professional Cinematography Features
Now, when should you buy the Nikon Z50 Mark II camera? Since the Nikon Z50 II camera features an ultra-low-light-sensitive sensor, if you are a short filmmaker and need a camera that performs exceptionally well under uncontrolled lighting conditions along with support for professional cinematography using RAW LUTs that the camera includes, then new RAW LUTs with the Z50 II camera may be added with updates in the future. Above all, you are also getting waveform support that will help you precisely control exposure, allowing you to rearrange elements to achieve optimal exposure. So if you are professionally involved in creating short films under uncontrolled lighting conditions, then the most recommended camera is the Nikon Z50 II.
