The partnership between Nikon and TowerJazz is well-established, with TowerJazz depending on Nikon for its equipment while Nikon incorporates TowerJazz sensors into its DSLR and mirrorless camera lines. This collaboration is reflected in the joint presentation materials produced by both companies.<\/p>\n
The forthcoming RED Komodo Z movie camera is expected to feature support for the active Z-mount, which will enable autofocus capabilities with real-time face detection. It remains unclear whether this camera will be positioned in the budget category or priced at a premium.<\/p>\n
To bring these features to fruition, the company has already revealed plans for its inaugural cinema lens: the Nikkor 28-135mm F\/4 PZ.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\nThe designation “PZ” in this lens name refers to Power Zoom. Consequently, the Nikkor 28-135mm F\/4 PZ will incorporate an internal motor designed for seamless zooming. Nikon has confirmed that this upcoming product will be compatible with full-frame and mirrorless Nikon Z-mount\/FX-format cameras, offering both autofocus and manual focus options.<\/p>\n
Now, let\u2019s discuss other potential announcements from Nikon. The details regarding the camera models listed below remain unverified. One such model is the Nikon Z80.<\/p>\n
Positioned between the Nikon Z90 and Nikon Z50 II, this camera is anticipated to feature a 24-megapixel DX partially stacked BSI CMOS sensor, along with active pixel image stabilization and the capability to record 4K video at 60 fps without any cropping.<\/p>\n
However, information regarding the Z80 camera concept is still quite limited.<\/p>\n
The source has provided an image, a sketch from a patent document that may be associated with the Nikon Z4 camera.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\nJudging by the drawing, this is a compact case made in a minimalist style. It is somewhat reminiscent of the Sony FX3\/FX30 model.<\/p>\n
The absence of an electronic viewfinder on the rear is notable. This patent clearly indicates that Nikon is concentrating on creating an affordable full-frame camera, enabling users to access full-frame technology at a remarkably low price point.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Next year is set to be a significant one, filled with major announcements.
