Due to the growing pressure of Panasonic’s recent camera announcement, models like S5, S5IIX, and S1R II intensifying the market competition with built-in professional video graphics features like an anamorphic de-squeeze setter, angle waveform, and a lot of features that professionals in videography would love to have in their cameras. But again, they also have some limitations, like the first generation of hybrid autofocus system, which is not as good as the other brands. But, the recent set of feature upgrades announced by Nikon for the Nikon Z6 III and Z8, give us a clear hint that Nikon is consdering Lumix as their main competitor, and upscaling their camera features o match or surpass Panasonic’s advanced videography capabilities, catering to both professional filmmakers and hybrid shooters.
Nikon’s Interest in Cinematography
We all know that Nikon is now more interested in cinematography since it acquired the RED camera division. It is a bit more serious about filmmaking and enhancing videography for cinematographic features in its consumer professional mirrorless cameras.
Nikon’s Recent Firmware Update
In addition to that, in a recent firmware update, Nikon has updated the N-Log of the Z6III, reducing noise in the dark areas of N-Log videos. They have mentioned this in the recent update, so it’s a kind of major update that UPSCALES the N-Log video recording of the Z6III camera.
Shutter Angle and New Features in Nikon Z6III & Z8
Apart from this major update, 15 steps of shutter angle from 5.6 degrees to 360 degrees have been added in the Z6III and Nikon Z8 cameras.
Apart from these two major updates, a lot of various custom control settings have been added, like selecting the color of the zebra pattern that includes black, grey, red, green, blue, etc. A waveform monitor—which was not available in the previous generation of their cameras—has also been added.
At the same time, high-resolution lossless zoom has also been added. If you are creating your videos and experimenting with your FX camera, then the digital high-resolution lossless zoom feature is available to you.

Nikon Z5 II specification surfaced on a website, that is not much different from the specification we posted a while ago, take a look at the rumored specification
Rumored Specifications:
- 24.5MP backside-illuminated CMOS sensor
- Equipped with Expeed 7 image processor
- 5-axis in-body image stabilization
- 4K video recording at 30fps
- 1080p video recording at 120fps
- The 273-point hybrid autofocus system
- Real-time eye/animal tracking
- 3.69-million-dot OLED electronic viewfinder
- 3.2-inch fully articulating screen
- Dual UHS-II SD card slots
- USB-C charging, compliant with the latest EU regulations
So, in the core specification, we are not able to spot any major difference from what we have already shared with you. [Nikon Z5 II Coming in Summer of 2025]
Nikon Z50 II Arrival Date
Nikon Z5 II arrival date – as we have mentioned earlier the Nikon Z50 II demand is at its peak and Nikon will surely allow the Z50II to reach its peak period, which generally lasts 7 to 8 months after the camera’s announcement. In general, camera manufacturers avoid announcing two different cameras in the approx same price range due to the fear that each will cannibalize the other’s sales.
Since the Nikon Z50 II was announced back in November 2024, it seems quite logical for Nikon to announce the Z5 II camera sometime in the summer months of 2025. So, the Announcement is expected on or before August 2025.

Nikon has working flagship mirrorless prototypes with Global sensors. Right now, we have very limited information since they didn’t exist in the handling experience of any professional photographer. The Early [box style] prototypes are very much restricted to lab environments. The source said the project name is ZX (don’t consider it an official name). When we asked about the arrival date and competitors, the camera is a direct competitor of the Canon R3 or Sony A9 Mark III. The expected arrival timeline points towards Q4 of 2026.
The source also added the camera is scheduled to be sent for testing to 50+ pro-Nikon photographers worldwide in Q1 of 2026, so from the first quarter of 2026, the rumor mill will start getting channelized information related to the Nikon ZX.

 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.

Nikon Z5 II is coming in the summer of 2025, according to the latest information available on the web. We already have the rumored core specifications of the upcoming camera.
Nikon Z5 II Rumored 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

Earlier, we were receiving continuous information that the Nikon Z5 II camera would arrive just after the announcement of the Nikon Z50II. However, it now seems that the announcement has been delayed. One of the reasons behind this delay is the huge demand for the Nikon Z50II camera in the market. Nikon will surely allow the Z50II to reach its peak period, which generally lasts 7 to 8 months after the camera’s announcement. In general, camera manufacturers avoid announcing two different cameras in the approx same price range due to the fear that each will cannibalize the other’s sales.
