Its not

No Z for now. Sigma is not much interested to work with Nikon, for whatever reason.

He doesn't want to ruin his relationship with the brands to the point they don't send him the new cameras twice as good as previous gen.

I also don't buy this argument that if someone released a camera twice as good as what we have, we still don't need it! If thats the case, then what the hell are you doing in this competitive environment? When every teenager has a camera in his pocket capable of shooting 4k log video, you need better gears to up your game. Gear is not everything, obviously, but you're in a competition and you need to grab everything you can to be always one step ahead of the crowd, and soon ahead of the AI.

I guess their original intention was matching A7iv price but had to release it with baked in tariff inflation.

They released the video 1.5 hours sooner than Sony's own scheduled video.

"Canon doesn't want you to know about this camera" "This camera changes everything" "Why I sold all my gears to get this camera" "Why Hollywood loves cropped 4k"

Was it necessary to make the EVF so long? Its like a camcorder from 90s.

Congratulations to Kasey for having another case for black and white meating with Japanese boss

What's interesting about Japanese market, which by no means representing the global market tho, is not Nikon taking the lead, which is a sudden jump by a single product, but Sony's steady decline, despite all previous generation alpha cameras they were selling at lower prices.

A lot of EU regulations happened in that period tho, and regulations are costly.

Easily doable even with the Z mount, but I doubt Nikon goes so big. So far, nobody among Japanese camera makers have implemeted 5 inch display into their morrorless bodies. Its like a taboo over there. Maybe because they think it ruins the ergonomics of the body.

Thom Hogan: "Nowhere in Panasonic's press releases or marketing information I've seen so far do they actually seem to know how to market their six different 24mp cameras (S1II, S1IIE, S5II, S5IIX, S9, and BS1H). In the S1IIE features list the sensor is listed as "inspired by the performance characteristics of the Lumix S5II," which tells you nothing. Those of us in the press these days are dealing with AI driven press releases, but I'm failing to even see the I in Panasonic's. Nothing tells me which 24mp camera to buy, let alone why I should buy it instead of Canon's, Nikon's, or Sony's. This feels like "stuff the channel and see if it sells" product management, not clear, user centric marketing."

from Nikon Rumors: Brick-shaped, video-oriented design, without pentaprism and EVF – a combination of the current RED models design, the Sony FX3, and the Nikon Z30 Many features and tech from RED will be incorporated inside (not a new RED camera with Z-mount – we already got that) Z6 III sensor inside Very large LCD screen The official announcement is expected later this year, most likely in the third or fourth quarter of 2025 I don't know what Frankenstein of a brick body would be the combination of RED/FX3/Z30, but "very large" LCD gives hope its a bit different from whats already available in the market.
