The consensus from multiple sources is that almost everything coming from Nikon is delayed. I do not have exact timeframes, but rumored cameras, lenses, and firmware updates will likely be delayed further.  The latest announcement time frames I published in my last post could be further delayed, […]

A non-existent Nikon Z70 camera was just added to the Apple ProRes and ProRes RAW authorized products. I believe this is a typo becuase I seriously doubt Nikon will share their upcoming product with Apple in advance. Nikon is known to take months to make their products (mainly software) compatible […]

Nikon Z7III rumors have been circulating since 2023, and since 2023 I’ve been saying the same thing: there is still not a single credible report that this camera is coming anytime soon. Every few months, the usual suspects drop a new Nikon Z7III “scoop” filled with made-up specifications, […]
