List of Rumored Nikon Mirrorless Cameras and Lenses

For the rest of the 2020, Nikon is planning to release several new mirrorless products. Here are the list of rumored Nikon mirrorless cameras and lenses.

New Nikkor Z lenses

Nikkor Z 24-50mm f/4-6.3: this will probably be the new kit lens for the upcoming Nikon Z5 camera. It will be a small, light, compact (almost like a pancake), cheap plastic lens with a collapsible design similar to the Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm.
Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S lens: a massive, solid lens with a lot of glass elements inside – similar in size to the Nikkor Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S. The 50mm f/1.2 lens may also have the Noct nomenclature (Nikkor Z 50mm f/1.2 S Noct lens).
Nikkor Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S lens: smaller and lighter than the F mount version, the lens can take screw-in filters. New info: 105mm filter thread. Not confirmed for July 21 release.

Nikon Z teleconverters

New info: Nikkor Z 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters are also coming
The new Nikon Z teleconverters will be released together with the already delayed Nikkor Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens.

Nikon Z30

No new information since my last report: the Nikon Z30 is rumored to be a new entry-level APS-C model that will be positioned under the current Nikon Z50.

Nikon Z5

The Z5 will have the same EVF as the Z6
No top panel LCD

The camera will start shipping later this year

The modes dial is moved to where the top LCD screen is on the Z6/Z7
The price is not confirmed yet, but it should be between the Z50 ($856.95) and the Z6 ($1,796.95)

Nikon Z6s/Z7s

Incremental upgrades to the almost two-year-old Nikon Z7 and Z6
Same sensor as in the Z6/Z7

Nikon Z8/Z9

The Nikon Z8/NikonZ9 (it could be just one camera) is rumored to be a new 60MP mirrorless camera that will be able to shoot full-resolution images at 14fps (mechanical shutter) with AE/AF.

In addition, both Nikon D880 (D850 replacement) DSLR camera and Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera are rumored to have the same 60MP sensor and similar specifications, just like the Nikon D780 was relative to the Nikon Z6.

Apart from the Sony’s 60MP full frame sensor, Nikon Z8 will also have dual SD and CFexpress card slots just like the Canon’s EOS R5. The high-end mirrorless Z camera will be announced before the Nikon D850 replacement.
