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...
