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
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)
- Built-in stereo Mic with Wind Noise Reduction
- 3.5mm External Mic Input
- New Tally Lamp for Recording Indicator
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for Seamless Connectivity
- ISO 100-51200
- Up to 11 fps Continuous Shooting
- Vlog-Friendly Design with Selfie Controls
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.

The CES 2025 event is scheduled to happen from January 7 to January 10 in Las Vegas. Different types of tech brands come from across the globe to showcase their innovative products at this particular event.
Now, from Nikon this year, Nikon will showcase an Innovative in-vehicle camera system co-created by Nikon and Mitsubishi Fuso to be exhibited at CES 2025 and we are expecting they will also showcase their recently announced Nikon Z63 and Z50 2 cameras, and we may witness some of the cinema camera prototypes that Nikon is working on.
Like every year, Canon will be showcasing its compact prototypes at the event.
During the CES 2025 event, Sony has an extensive presence and has booked multiple halls. At the same time, we are not sure, since Alpha Universe and other websites haven’t listed any of their events in the January month of their scheduled calendar.
Apart from these three camera makers, we also have Fujifilm Corporation attending the event. We are expecting the presence of the Fujifilm medium-format cinema camera prototype that we saw a few weeks ago. Upcoming Fuji Cinema Camera Explained in 15 Points | Fuji Cinema Camera A Closer Look
Panasonic has also booked multiple halls since they have a huge presence in the consumer electronics market. At this same time, we are not able to find any registered Booth name with Lumix, which is the brand name used by Panasonic for their mirrorless cameras. It will be interesting to see whether Panasonic Corporation will allow the imaging division, Lumix, to showcase their products in their booked halls or not, so we have to wait for that.
We will share more information if we get any updates related to other camera makers and upcoming products.

Nikon Corporation (Nikon) will exhibit an innovative in-vehicle camera system co-created with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation (MFTBC) at CES 2025. The camera features an optical lens system with both telephoto and wide-angle lens functions, enabling users to see far away and also check their periphery at the same time.
We will have our camera gear for the rest of the booths. Although I was expecting to see a cinema camera working prototype in the show, let’s hope for the best.

We have already seen the auto area framing of the Sony cameras that have been popular quite a bit among content creators, and the auto area framing is typical, as we have seen, and now works on a single subject. At the same time, it has multiple boxes, typically three different sizes available: one is small, medium, and large. Once you select one of the boxes, the camera automatically frames your subject and crops it in the video’s final version, so it seems like someone is shooting your video. It is really helpful to content creators, those who shoot with wide-angle lenses and create videos and vlogs of their daily life routine, or, let’s say, their cooking videos. In this specific area, the auto area AI framing works very well.
Canon AI Auto Framing Tech Tracks, Crops, and Save
We recently saw a patent stating that Canon is also working on auto AI framing technology. In this technology, the camera automatically frames the subject depending on the user’s choice and saves cropped portions of the video to the SD card (of your choice), or you can say as a final product.
After looking at the details, it is very clearly visible the camera will save multiple video clips of the same video by cropping in on the selected multiple subjects in a single frame. It might depend on the user which clip they want to keep and wish to delete. The other option is they can tap on the subjects, either subject A or B, so that the camera will only save the clip of the subject that has been selected by the user among the multiple subjects present on the screen.
Canon Updated Menu System with AI Auto Framing
Canon AI Auto Framing Coming in Canon R6 Mark III or Canon R7 Mark II?
We may see the AI auto-framing feature of the Canon cameras in the upcoming Canon R6 Mark III and the Canon R7 Mark II cameras since it’s not a kind of hardware thing. In general, when Canon does a hardware patent, it generally takes 2 to 3 years. Still, since this is a software-based patent and the working principle of the AI auto-framing is solely dependent upon the DIGIC accelerator chip present inside Canon cameras, once introduced with the Canon R6 Mark 3 as well as R7 Mark 2, later on, these updates will be processed over the cameras with an AI accelerator chip inside them.
Even in the screenshot of the menu that I shared with you, you can clearly see the camera has dual card slots inside it. That indicates none of the entry-level cameras will have these features. As of now, only the cameras with the AI accelerator chip and dual card slots, which indicate a professional body, will have the AI auto-framing capability.

Viltrox has announced 35mm f/1.7 Air lens for bodies FX, E, and Z mount. One of the best things about this particular lens is its price—at just $180, you are getting a 35mm f/1.7 lens for these mounts, and this is a full-frame lens, so you can use it on your full-frame as well as APS-C bodies.
AF 35/1.7 Full-frame equivalent 52.5mm is a standard-angle lens for portrait photography, daily photography, and food photography. It is undoubtedly another affordable lens for the beginner.
Main features:
1. High-efficiency autofocus: STM motor with screw-type guide rod
2. Lightweight and compact size for easy carrying
3. High-quality standard lens with F1.7 wide aperture and pure blur
4. Reliable video performance: extremely low breathing effect
5. Optimized lens hood with longer length, better light-shielding effect
The lens’ optical formula includes 11 elements in 9 groups, with 1 ED lens, 1 aspherical lens, and 2 high-refractive lenses. It also features nano-coating, and the aperture has nine blades. While Viltrox makes no claims of weather resistance, the front element does have a coating to resist oils and liquids.
