If there’s one camera I’m looking forward to more than any other, it’s the unsubstantiated but probable Nikon Zf II, a follow-up to Nikon's popular full-frame retro camera. With persistent camera rumors that the Nikon Z9 II will be launched at the end of the year, safely in time for the 2026 Winter Olympics, it’s officially Nikon silly season.
As such, the folks over at New Camera have shared their predictions for the second coming of the Nikon Zf, including a theorized release date of September 2026. I think this is the absolute earliest we could expect to see such a release, given that the Nikon Zf didn’t appear until nearly two years after the original Nikon Z9 – and that camera was almost certainly delayed due to the pandemic.
