This is the first real world image of the new Nikon Z7. To me the camera looks much better in REAL than on the leaked Product shots!

The Nikon Z6 and Z7 specs. Z7 is a mirrorless D850 with 5 axis stabilization.

The Russian site dphotoworld.net posted the possible Z6 and Z7 specs. This is the google translated text:

Both cameras are equipped with a Z bayonet, while the Z6 will receive a stabilized 5-axis sensor with a resolution of 24.5 MP and a 273-point focusing system, and the more advanced Z7 is a 45.7 MP sensor with a similar stabilization system and AF at 493 points.

The ISO sensitivity of the Z6 sensor is 100-51.200, while in Z7 this range is indicated in ISO 64-25.600. The maximum speed of serial shooting is also different – in the Z6 it is up to 12 frames per second, the Z7 has only 9 fps.

Both new items received a 3.2 “touchscreen display with a resolution of 3.6 million pixels and can shoot 4K videos with a frame rate of 30 fps, the dimensions and weight of both cameras are the same – 134 x 100.5 x 67 mm and 675 g, respectively.

Those are not 100% accurate size comparisons. It should be damn close though.

Is this the beginning of the end for F-mount?

The suspect is big that the new Z-mount will mark the beginning of the end for the F-mount. This is something Olympus has already done (killing their FT DSLR line) and Sony is likely to do soon too (killing the A-mount development).

I suspect that it will take 4-5 years before Nikon will stop doing F-mount cameras. What do you think?

in five years from now...
