A number of foreign media report details about the upcoming Nikon ZF camera, which will receive a retro design, a full-frame matrix and a Z-mount bayonet mount. The source reports that the camera body turned out to be much more ergonomic than in the Nikon Z fc model.
At the same time, it is specified that the camera will receive a new matrix, and not the one that was in the Nikon Z6 Mark II model. Images of the novelty with a Nikkor 28mm F / 2.8 lens were also published, however, it is worth noting that their authenticity has not been confirmed.
It is reported that the Nikon ZF camera will receive the following characteristics:
- The announcement will take place in August-September 2023
- Deliveries are planned until the end of 2023
- New 25MP sensor
- Improved autofocus compared to Nikon Z5/Z6II models
- One of the kits will come with a Nikkor Z 40mm F/2 (SE) lens.
- Design similarity with the Nikon Zfc model
- Small LCD screen on the top of the body for displaying aperture settings
- New Third Function of Shutter Speed Dial Auxiliary Lever
- One SD memory card slot
- Better build quality compared to Nikon Zfc
- Fully articulated screen
- Model registration code name N2137
As it turned out, information about the 45 megapixel sensor could be obtained on the basis of a prototype device that will not go into production. Also, the new camera model from Nikon will receive an OLED viewfinder with a resolution of 3.6 million dots.
The source reports that the Nikon ZF camera will also be sold in kits with optics. The price will be up to $ 2,500 with a lens.
Perhaps the new Nikon ZF will be able to partly compete with another full-frame compact – Sony A7C II . Partially, the characteristics of this model have already been disclosed by the source. It is reported that the camera will receive a new 33-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor. Exactly the same is installed in the camera Sony A7IV.
The Sony A7C II camera will receive a BIONZ XR processor with support for artificial intelligence, as well as five-axis matrix stabilization (IBIS).
