Pretty much all of Nikon’s cameras have received refreshes in some way or another. But the one that’s been sorely left behind is the Nikon Z7 II. I remember when a very good friend of mine was considering the Nikon Z8 but then after some advising by me, ended up settling for the Z7 II. He adores the megapixels, but every time that I compare the performance to my Nikon Zf, his purchase feels somewhat Mesozoic. And this year, I really thought that we’d see the Nikon Z7 II because camera manufacturers are finally starting to realize that photographers buy cameras, too. I’m writing this article in early September 2025, and quite frankly, I think that a few things are probably going to happen.
