One thing is for sureᅳwe have confirmed news that the Nikon Z50 Mark II and Nikon Z5 Mark II are the next two cameras from Nikon.
The source also suggests that if everything goes as scheduled, you will be using both cameras by the end of January. I live in Asia, so if we account for shipping dates, the announcement is likely to happen in late October or the first week of November.
When asked about the possibility of a Nikon Z7 Mark III or a flagship APS-C camera like the Nikon Z80 or Z90, he said that everything would happen, but after these two announcements. First, Nikon will bring up these two baseline models, and later, they will focus on higher-end APS-C and full-frame models.

By putting all these together one thing is sure Z5 II and Z50 II both are coming.
When I asked AI to generate the possible announcement date of the upcoming Nikon Z5 II and Nikon Z50 II camera, by feeding all the latest set of information we have here is the result
Here’s a timeline of the possible announcement date of the upcoming Nikon Z50 II and Nikon Z5 II based on the typical product launch cycle, the holiday sales period, and hints from ***************:
Possible Timeline for Nikon Z50 II and Z5 II Announcements:
Late October 2024 (Final Week):
Announcement Window: This would be Nikon’s last chance to announce both cameras in time for the holiday season. They will likely want to create buzz right before November so that pre-orders and shipments can be processed in time for holiday sales.
Possible Date Range: October 25-31, 2024.
Reasoning: Nikon will want dealers and retailers to have enough time to stock the cameras for major holiday events like Black Friday (late November) and Christmas. An announcement by late October allows for marketing and logistics to ramp up.
Early November 2024:
Backup Announcement Window: If Nikon doesn’t hit the late October window, an early November announcement could still allow enough time for a pre-holiday push.
Possible Date Range: November 1-7, 2024.
Reasoning: While cutting it close to the holiday season, Nikon could still generate enough consumer interest for buyers to place pre-orders or make purchases for November’s Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
Mid-November 2024:
Less Likely, but Possible:
Possible Date Range: November 10-15, 2024.
Reasoning: Announcing mid-November might reduce the chances of hitting the holiday sales cycle, but Nikon could focus on early 2025 sales instead. Retailers would still be able to stock the products for last-minute holiday shoppers.
January 2025 (CES 2025):
Delayed Announcement (Backup Plan): If Nikon missed the holiday window of Oct and Nov entirely, the next significant event would be the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in early January.
Possible Date: January 8-12, 2025.
Reasoning: CES is one of the largest tech trade shows and often used by camera manufacturers to showcase their latest products for the new year. Nikon could reveal the Z50 II and Z5 II at this event if they opt for a delayed launch.
Key Considerations:
Final Week of October is the ideal period for Nikon to make the announcement if they want to hit holiday sales.
November Announcements would still give retailers a chance to stock, but with less lead time.
CES 2025 offers Nikon a strong stage if they prefer to target the new year rather than the end of 2024.
Nikon Z5 Mark II is rumored to arrive in Q1 of 2025, while there may be confusion (from our side) in understanding the shipping and announcement date, but yes the arrival of the Z5 II is certain, as per the latest rumors surfaced over the web.

The new firmware update for Nikon Z f/ Z7 II/ Z 8/ Z 9 cameras has been delayed! The new firmware update, originally scheduled to be released months ago, has been postponed due to major issues with Nikon’s latest Z7 II firmware update and issues with Nikon Cloud.
Supporting Nikon Cloud functionality on the Z7 II camera is much more complex than originally it thought and due to that several other updates were also delayed or put on hold, which is the reason behind the delay of the new firmware. Internal testing results at Nikon have shown compatibility issues that require more time to fix. This may be unfortunate for Nikon Z7 II users, but hopefully, the new firmware released by Nikon will be rock-solid and not have frequent issues like the latest firmware from other companies, causing unnecessary trouble for users.
The new firmware for the Nikon Z f/ Z8 and Z9 cameras will significantly improve image processing capabilities. Stay tuned!
This statement is coming out from Nikon President Masaaki Tokunari, Yomiuri Shimbun (Japanese publisher) has published an interview with the Nikon President recently.
Take a look at the summary
Chinese Wealthy People and Indian Wedding Photographers Preferring Nikon
Our decision to focus on mid to high-end models, professional models, and mirrorless cameras in the 2020s has worked better than expected. The Chinese market is a typical example. Sales are high because the wealthy are looking for cameras rather than smartphones. India is also growing. The country has a large population, but there is also a large demand for weddings.
Nikon President Masaaki Tokunari also thinks that the saturation point has now arrived, now both smartphone and Mirrorless cameras can co-exist together
We are now in an age where smartphones and digital cameras can coexist. Global sales of digital cameras have fallen to one-twentieth of their peak. However, domestic companies are doing well. What is going on? As I understand it, the act of taking photos has spread with the spread of smartphones. In the days of film cameras, you had to develop the film, but with digital cameras, that’s unnecessary. Nowadays, you can post photos online right away, and there are social networking sites like Instagram and Facebook. I think smartphones have broadened the base. As a result, our high-end models, which are at the top of the camera pyramid, are selling well.
It’s hard to capture the decisive moment with a smartphone. Smartphones have taught us the joy of sharing our shooting with the public, and the number of people using them has increased. For this reason, interchangeable lens cameras, including those from other companies, are doing well compared to compact digital cameras and cameras with non-interchangeable lenses.
More of the interview – about the future and RED acquisition
(Regarding the review of production bases) The purpose is to improve production capacity. To make high-precision lenses. We will invest 100 billion yen and gradually renovate our factories by 2030. First in Tochigi. Many of our lenses are made in Thailand, and high-performance lenses are produced in Tochigi.
We have acquired Red, a US camera manufacturer. The Z mount is expected to be used in filming as well. We would like to use our channels to promote it in India, a major film country. There is no doubt that this field is an area where market expansion is expected.
This is Nikon’s first move after the acquisition of RED Camera. Initially, they introduced a LUT (Look-Up Table) that exhibits a color profile similar to RED Cinema cameras for their Nikon mirrorless system cameras, specifically those capable of recording in log format. However, this is just a small step towards a major announcement ?, the btw, we have already shared our wishlist for Nikon next RED Komodo camera with Z Mount – Nikon KOMODO Z – What Can We Expect from Nikon?
The Digital Photography Review team has recorded videos with all new LUTs and has demonstrated them beautifully, allowing you to see the color differences, contrast types, and dynamic range each lens provides.
Nikon Z 50mm 1.4 lens has finally been announced. The lens is very reasonably priced, considering it’s a full-frame lens with a 1.4 aperture. I think other camera makers should learn from Nikon, how affordable and reasonably priced F1.4 lenses are becoming for their Z mount. If native lenses are available at such reasonable prices, why would users look for third-party lenses?
Close minimum focus distance lets users get as near as 14.5 in (0.37 m) from the subject, which is great for flowers, still life and food photography.
Nine-blade diaphragm helps to create a natural, circular bokeh for a pleasing out of focus area.
Focus breathing is effectively suppressed to minimize the shift of the angle of view when adjusting the focus.
Near Silent operation for video production, with a click-less control ring and near silent lens drive thanks to the use of STM motors.
Weather Sealed and designed with careful consideration for dust- and drip-resistant performance.

I captured the casual expression of a person peeking through the leaves. By opening the aperture to f/1.4, the focused eye area is sharp, while the leaves in the foreground and background are softly blurred, enveloping the person. This is a shot that subtly conveys her feelings.
The neutral perspective of the 50mm and the large foreground and background bokeh produced by the maximum aperture of F1.4 make people stand out in a three-dimensional way. Another feature of the 50mm lens is the high degree of freedom it offers, allowing you to change the impression of the subject in a variety of ways depending on the distance and angle.
This image was taken using RAW data, which was converted to TIFF or JPEG using software such as NX Studio, and then finished as a work of art by the photographer using software from another company.

This is the perfect time to buy the Nikon Z7 Mark II camera since Nikon is offering a massive $1000 discount on the camera body. At the same time, we have the latest Nikkor Z 28-75mm f/2.8 G2 lens, which can resolve sensors up to 50 megapixels effortlessly due to its advanced optics. So if you are interested in a high-resolution camera, this is the perfect time to buy it, and the discount is available only until September 15, 2024 (so hurry).
We have never seen such a massive discount on a camera body. It also indicates that there may be a chance that the Nikon Z7 Mark III camera is in the announcement pipeline ?, and Nikon might be clearing up stock of the existing Z7 Mark II camera. Whatever the reason, the Z7 Mark II is now available at its lowest price.
