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.
— end of rumor —
BTW, the previous tip we received with specs of the Nikon Z5 II suggested the Z5 II would be released in Jan of 2025.
Nikon Z5 Mark II Rumored Specification
24.5MP FX-Format BSI CMOS Sensor
EXPEED 7 Image Processor
UHD 4K30 Video; 1.5x 60p with crop N-Log & 10-Bit HDMI Out

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.
