Nikon releases first Nikon Z9 teaser – announcement imminent?

Nikon has released a new teaser video for the upcoming Nikon Z9 mirrorless camera with the title “Z 9 is Coming”, suggesting an announcement may be imminent. The development of the Nikon flagship was announced way back in March with basically zero details, except the name. In August, alleged specs were leaked, although how reliable they are is anybody’s guess.

But now it looks like we may be close to finding out. The new teaser does show off a few details of the new camera and Nikon has a new page showing off the teaser and confirming 8K resolution capability.

Canon EOS R3 announcement expected in September, Nikon Z9 in November/December

by 1 Comment

Well, it looks like Canon’s going to beat Nikon to the punch when it comes to a mirrorless flagship camera. Canon Rumors and Nikon Rumors are reporting that the upcoming Canon EOS R3 and Nikon Z9 mirrorless cameras are going to be officially announced in September and December respectively.

There’s no word on exactly when in September and December the cameras will be announced, but the earlier date for the Canon EOS R3 makes sense as I’ve already seen at least one Olympics photographer posting that they have one to take with them.

Is Nikon’s newly announced retro-inspired Z fc their best vlogging camera so far?

by 2 Comments

Well, the rumour mill seems to have been a little off. It wasn’t Canon that was announcing a new camera today, but Nikon. Nikon has now officially announced their latest addition to their Z mirrorless lineup, the retro FM-inspired Nikon Z fc. It features a 20.9-megapixel APS-C sized sensor paired with an EXPEED 6 processor for fast performance and 4K UHD video.

It also seems that Nikon might’ve actually finally figured out how to make a decent vlogging camera. Well, almost. It offers full-time eye-detection autofocus, a flippy out LCD, a built-in stereo microphone, a 3.5mm socket for an external microphone and built-in live streaming although it doesn’t feature any IBIS, which may be a dealbreaker for some vloggers.

Nikon is announcing the Z6II and Z7II on October 14th

by 1 Comment

Well, we new something was coming, but we were all a little wrong with the name. Instead of the Z6s and Z7s, they’re actually going to be the Z6II and Z7II and Nikon is planning to official announce them on October 14th – according to a new teaser that’s popped up on the Nikon website.

A couple of successors to the Z6 and Z7 have long been rumoured, hoping to see some features added (like dual card slots) or refined. And while the rumoured names were wrong, if the rumoured specs were close, then they’ll only be incremental updates, but will offer a couple of nice benefits over the existing models.

This is the Nikon Z9, sort of – It’s made from paper

by 4 Comments

 

The lockdowns in place around the planet have all got us trying to figure out different ways to spend our time. For BuildYourCamera, though, it’s business as usual, making cameras from cardboard and paper. This time, though, he’s not making a camera that already exists, but spent his imagination figuring out what Nikon might have in store for us with a flagship Z9 mirrorless body.

A series of images of the “camera” was posted to Instagram, and like Nikon themselves, the series begins with a teaser.

UK retailers jump the gun on the Panasonic S1 and S1R mirrorless cameras

by 7 Comments

Well, it’s (almost) official. The launch of the Panasonic S1 and S1R full-frame mirrorless cameras was expected in March, presumably, so they could tease them at The Photography Show, and then show them off properly at Photokina. Since Photokina was cancelled, however, Panasonic let out a new teaser letting us know to expect an announcement on January 31st (today).

It looks like UK retailers Park Cameras and CVP might have jumped the gun slightly, though, because, for a brief time, they listed the new cameras and various lens combos on their websites for pre-order, along with prices. Well, Park had prices, CVP didn’t.
