Someone on Weibo shared these early images of a new techart autofocus adapter prototype. this super thin adapter allows the use of Sony E-mount lenses on Nikon Z camera with full aperture and autofocus control. DOn’t expect it to work it as good as on native Sony cameras tough.
Nokishita spotted four new camera registration on a Russian agency page. The codes are N1845, N1847, N1849 and N1850 which tells us nothing about what those models are. Don’t think those are new Z cameras…

Life+Guard officially announced the new protection skin for the Nikon Z7-Z6 cameras. Here are all pics:
Dpreview posted the full Nikon Z6 review. The conclusion:
The Nikon Z6 is a well-built full-frame mirrorless camera that produces excellent stills and 4K video. Autofocus is reliable most of the time, including during burst shooting, though selecting a subject on which to track is clumsy. The camera’s built-in image stabilization works well on native and ‘classic’ Nikon glass. Battery life isn’t class-leading, and some improvements related to manual focus in video should be addressed, but overall Nikon has a winner in the Z6.
