The Nikon Zf camera could be announced on September 20th

[NR] admin · Sep 11, 2023

I have been reporting on the upcoming Nikon Zf retro-inspired full-frame mirrorless camera for several months now, including multiple leaked pictures and specifications.

The Nikon Zf was supposed to be announced back in August, but I assume the latest Nikon Z8 recalls delayed the introduction of the new camera. I still can’t confirm the official announcement date, but if you believe Camerainsider, the Nikon Zf should be officially announced on September 20th. I have to remind you that Camerainsider does not have a good track record when it comes to Nikon gear (they seem to be spot on for the latest Tamron announcements).

In case you missed them – here are the latest updated rumored Nikon Zf full-frame retro mirrorless camera specifications:

Expeed 7 processor
LCD and EVF specs are the same as Z6II (same size and resolution)
It can shoot 10-bit H.265 HEVC video (SDR/HLG/N-log)
4k 30p is full size 60p is cropped
1080 120p
AF (273 focus points) comes with features from Z8/Z9 with 3D tracking
New feature related to AF (new for Nikon cameras) – no idea what it is (yet)
Magnesium Alloy body
High Extended Shooting for RAW and HEIF
Shutter selection options: Mechanical / Electronic Front-Curtain / Auto
Size: 144mm x 101mm x 57mm
IBIS
Max. shutter: 1/8000s
Black camera body only (for now)
24.4 MP BSI-CMOS sensor
Weight: 700g (inc. battery, the Z5 is 590g, the Z6II is 615g )
Dimensions: 144mm x 101mm
Up to 30fps (JPG/HEIF)
4k 60 video
USB C PD (fast-charging technology based on the USB-C standard)
ISO 100-64,000 (for comparison the Z6II ISO range is 100-51,200)
EN-EL15 battery
The Z f logo is moved to the left (the Zfc has it on the right)
Dual memory card slots (SD+MicroSD) – this is probably why the first reports came out with only one memory card slot, the second slot could be hidden and be used just like the internal memory on some cameras
Pixel Shift: new high-res mode will be implemented for the first time in a Nikon mirrorless camera
August-September announcement, shipment before the end of 2023
Improved autofocus compared to Z5/Z6II
A few different lens kits/bundles will be available in the $2,000-$2,500 price range
Price for body only: $1,999
One of the bundles will be with the Nikkor Z 40mm f/2 (SE) lens (no new lens will be introduced with the Zf)
Very similar (but improved) design/layout from the Nikon Zfc
Small LCD screen on top for aperture display
New 3rd function on the sub lever of the shutter speed dial (besides photo/video) for B&W mode (B&W/Photo/Movie)
Has a little grip/bump like the Nikon Df (see the mockup pictures)
Better build quality compared to the Nikon Zfc
Fully articulating screen
Code name N2137
