Not much info on specs, just DX, 20mp, and 11 fps. It will be interesting to see what they have come up with.

I saw this post on Nikon Rumors this morning. That is a pretty high altitude view. Cannot see much. It will be interesting to see them moving forward. I was surprised by 20MP. I would of thought 24MP

Have to say this has grabbed my interest,i never wanted to leave Nikon and DX lenses not too fast for this could be made lighter using more plastics, who knows i may be able to post anywhere on the forum next year.

20MP doesnt concern me if its done right, no good at working this out but if you crop DX from a Z6 how many MP do you get?

I wasn't concerned about the 20 MP being insufficient it was more an issue of surprise. The FX Z6 can handle up to 12 fps with 24MP I would have thought the DX could do the same.

But that is a good question. I checked the manual and the DX 10.3 Megapixels. Less than 1/2 the FX mode. Croping the Z6 means you better fill the frame. You are in the range of a D700 photo cropped a bit in post.

Additional rumors

The Z50 20MP sensor will be based on the D500 sensor The Z50 will have only a single SD card slot The Z50 will be on par with the D7xxx level cameras

Collapsible lenses to be marketed as a travel camera?

Sounds like the Z50 will be a mirrorless D7500!

If its one digit for DX and two for FX and FX is at Z7 Nikon obviously dont see too many new models coming

Maybe they will do like some OTHER mirrorless manufacturers do and add Roman numerals after the number... It COULD happen...

I love Nikon, its back to the drawing board for me, IBIS is one of the main advantages of mirrorrless and Nikon omit it from the soon to be launched Z50 DX camera, i know it will most likley be in the two lenses that come with it but i thought it would be my chance to get a 300mm f4.

Not bad pricing

Yup! Without IBIS the Z50 is definitely a mirrorless crippled D7500

No IBIS is a disappointment.

Since I doubt Z lenses with have builtin IS, it's a deal breaker for me.

Looks like they will have VR.
