The Latest Nikon Z70 Rumours
Some new details about the upcoming Nikon Z70 have surfaced, including a few changes to what we previously heard about the camera's specifications. Earlier rumours suggested that Nikon was working on a 45-megapixel stacked APS-C sensor, but according to the latest reports, the Z70 will actually use a 41-megapixel non-stacked APS-C sensor instead. It is also expected to come with Nikon's Expeed 7 processor, which should handle both photo and video processing. Interestingly, there is also talk of continuous shooting at up to 120fps with autofocus and autoexposure tracking. That is a pretty high number, especially for a non-stacked sensor, although it is not yet clear whether the camera will be able to shoot at that speed using the full 41-megapixel resolution or whether there will be some limitations.
In terms of video, the Nikon Z70 could support 8K at up to 60fps, along with ProRes RAW and some additional technology from RED. There is also mention of a new digital teleconverter mode. Another detail concerns the small button that was recently spotted in technical drawings included in an FCC registration. That button, positioned next to the top-mounted display, is now believed to be a dedicated video recording button.
Nikon is also reportedly planning to use the same electronic viewfinder found in the Z6 III, which has a 5.76-million-dot resolution, brightness of up to 4,000 cd/m² and support for the DCI-P3 colour gamut. The Nikon Z70 is currently rumoured to be announced within the next two weeks, with an expected price of around $2,000.
