The Nikon Z9 changed the face of the company when it was launched in 2022. The camera offered some exceptional innovations, such as the first professional camera for photographers without a physical shutter. It had various tracking functions, including 3D tracking. It also brings down the shield over the shutter. In fact, it has one of the best autofocus systems, which also focuses on people of color in low light. It now appears, the Nikon Z9 II, one of the highly anticipated cameras, is reportedly launching at the end of 2025 or early 2026. Here is a look at what the specs might be.
According to Canon Rumors, multiple sources have reported that the camera will be released soon. The Nikon flagship is said to be set to compete with the Canon R1 and Sony a1 II. Per reports, here are the reported specifications.
- 45MP stacked full-frame CMOS sensor
- EXPEED 8 image processor
- 8K video 24/25, 30, 50/60 fps
- 4K video 24/25, 30, 50/60, 100/120, 200/240 fps
- 10-bit internal recording
- Enhanced AI-based algorithms for advanced subject and object detection
- Lightweight magnesium body
- Fully movable LCD screen
- Dual CFexpress Type B card slots
- The Potential of 5G Wireless Connectivity
From the looks of it, the camera is aimed at sports and wildlife photographers, and also at those who need high-production video. While the sensor size is the same, obviously, the difference will be the image processor. The Z9 featured an EXPEED 7 processor, which helped the camera improve image quality. The specs also reveal that the Nikon Z9 II could be like the a1 II. The latter camera had major improvements in autofocus and low-light abilities, which were significant for those who photograph people.
With a camera like the Z9, which is already so advanced, it remains to be seen how the company tries to improve an already perfect camera. It is possible that the biggest upgrades are not in terms of resolution but in other aspects. A larger resolution sensor will only make processing a bit slower, so perhaps it may remain the same. However, there is a chance that the Nikon Z9 II ends up having a different set of specifications. The price of the Z9 II is also expected to be $6000. However, we will know for sure based on tariffs and inflation rates. Until then, do keep an eye out for more on our website.
