Nikon Z5 rumored to have release date and could join Nikon Z30
The Nikon Z5, which should be your new entry-level full-frame camera, is about to launch with a new release date. Nikon Rumors, which has been a reliable source of leaks so far, is pretty sure the Z5 will be announced on July 21. So if you're thinking about switching to a full-frame camera and it seems like you're scheduling Nikon's Z-mount lens, this is definitely a date to put on your calendar. Interestingly, Nikon Rumors added that "the Nikon Z5 will not be the only new product announced on this date." It's unclear if that means the Z5 will be joined by another new camera or new lenses, but Nikon registered two new cameras in May. This means we can see it happen with the Nikon Z30, which should be an entry-level APS-C camera that sits below the Nikon Z50. Joint camera launches are also becoming a trend, with rumors that Canon will simultaneously announce the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6 on July 9. Still, it's important to note that the possible release of the Nikon Z30 is just speculation at this point, and Nikon rumors only mentioned the date of July 21 compared to the Nikon Z5. His mention of other new products could simply refer to the arrival of new Z-mount lenses, which are also expected soon.

Lens requirements

Nikon Z series owners have been patiently waiting for new versions of their lens roadmap for some time, so the launch could be used to reveal the long-awaited 50mm f/1.2 prime or 14-24mm f/2.8. wide angle. That being said, with the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens still available for pre-order, we may get an update on the availability of this lens before Nikon switches to new announcements. What can we expect from the Nikon Z5 camera itself? So far, rumors suggest that it will have the same AF and EVF system as the impressive Nikon Z6, as well as a 24MP full-frame sensor, integrated image stabilization (IBIS), and a body. Made of magnesium alloy. Interestingly, the Nikon Z5 should also have two UHS-II SD card slots, which would give it a slight advantage over the Nikon Z6, even though the latter uses the faster XQD cards.
