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.

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...

Nikon Z7 sensor “will be better than the D850”

Not sure how reliable this info is. But a source at Xitek claimed this:

“Just spoken to a franchise director at LCE, apparently Thursday will be a very exciting day indeed.
The adapter for the new mirrorless camera will pretty much be free when bought with either model, and the adaptor will make upto 400 lenses compatible so that’ll make all lenses with either electronic or mechanical apertures compatible.
The sensor will be better than the D850 owing to how they’ve constructed the diodes and the way it’s capturing more light, and the new range of lenses will have fresnel elements to give an ‘effective’ larger aperture (so I was told a 1.8 Will be marketed as 1.8 but behaves like a 1.4, and be tiny) much like their new 300mm that shrunk.
Pre orders coming Thursday to ship mid November”
Just chatting with the LCE branch manager, he said that obviously Thursday will be a very exciting day.
