According to NikonRumors, Nikon plans to release two new cameras in 2023: the Z8 and another full-frame model, but not the Z6III or Z7III.
Nikon may release the “surprise” full-frame camera this fall, and while there are no details on the camera yet, it is likely to be one of three models:
- Full-frame video camera
- Full-frame Nikon Zf, Df replacement
- Compact full-frame Vlog camera (similar to Sony ZV-E1?)
If the news is true, we may see the long-revealed Nikon Z8 in the next few weeks, and we’ll bring you a detailed report then.
