In just less than 6 hours the updated version of the Nikon Z6 and Z7 will be formally announced. www.nikon.ca

So, what will we see in the specs for this update?

Rumoured specs have been floating around various internet sites for a few weeks but I suspect that no-one really knows, other than the folks at Nikon, what enhancements we might see.

What would I like to see?

Having tested the original Z6 quite extensively for wildlife work here a few enhancements that would lead me to make a purchase.

  • Faster and more accurate autofocus
  • Improved eye AF with animal detection
  • Blackout free Electronic viewfinder (EVF)
  • Higher resolution EVF
  • A battery grip with full controls for portrait shooting
  • Improved frame rate
  • Dual memory slots

I am really not interested in a larger sensor for the Z6 – I have my D850 for high resolution requirements.

I will be bringing you a hands-on report on the new model as soon as it is actually available.
