Nikon Z8…or 9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

or Z8<\/strong> or ZB<\/strong> or….gawd knows what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No-one except the designers at Nikon<\/strong> (and a fat American git called \u00ab\u00a0The Angry Pornographer\u00a0\u00bb or some such, over on Youtube…or so he likes to think – enjoy your minority status, dickhead<\/em>) actually know what the next iteration of the Z<\/strong> series mirrorless cameras will look like, or what controls, programmes they will contain….but it will be black, perhaps….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I admit it amuses me to read all the speculation, it really doesn’t matter much to me – I won’t be able to afford one anyway – having just kitted myself out with the Z7<\/strong>! The fora are awash with comments from a whole horde of non-camera-owning public who \u00ab\u00a0know\u00a0\u00bb what is going to happen before anyone else…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rumor-mill is very active at the moment, and it seems likely that the replacement \/evolution for both the reflex D850<\/strong> and the Z7<\/strong> is likely to have the 60mp Sony <\/strong>sensor which became available recently. So far, the rumors have ‘stated’ dual CFexpress<\/strong> card slots (might be nice if we were actually A: able to buy the cards at sensible prices, and B: that once purchased, they would work in the camera (as only two models do at present) This said, if they are backwards compatible with the Sony XQD<\/strong> format, at least all of us using the existing models would still be able to use our XQD<\/strong> cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A GPS<\/strong> (Why oh why? We have smartphones with GPS) and Bluetooth\/WiFi seem likely too, according to \u00ab\u00a0the people who know\u00a0\u00bb – the latter two are available anyway – I think a more useful manoeuvre would be to write software that actually USED the WiFi connexions to their fullest, and were able to shift hi-density image files quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another element is the lack of contacts on the baseplate of the existing Z series – thus making a real vertical grip unworkable. Yes, we have the MB-N10<\/strong> battery grip, which helps, as batteries can be switched without disturbing operations, but no vertical shutter release or AF-ON button duplication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going back to the new Sony sensor, 60mp is far too high density for my work – even with Expeed 6<\/strong> and future developments in high ISO noise reduction, I doubt I’d get the quality I do with the ancient 12mp D3s<\/strong> or even the 24mp Z6<\/strong>. But it might be nice for landscape work…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what’s your guess? What will be included in the next model, given that so much of the original series seems to have been right (IMHO)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
