A fresh set of firmwares for the Z series cameras.
Designed to support the new 24-120mm f4.0 S-line lens and the new FTZ mkii adapter for Z cameras.

Big item is .... updates improve autofocus (AF) capabilities across the board.

I'd rather there was a firmware update to allow the D4 to be compatible with CFExpress cards.

But it isnt going to happen. :applause:
Just like I would like a 45MP sensor swap out into my D3S.

I'll be interested to find out how those with the Z6ii find it for birds in flight with the new firmware.

Are you using the Z6ii now Iain?
How do you like it?

My request is possible and practical, yours is possible but impractical. Neither is likely to happen.

I had a loan of one but was not too keen on it. The BIF was not good so it has a bit to go before I get one.

What surprises me is that, there are so many 2nd hand Z lenses for sale,the system has only been here 5 minutes,and I hear those Z lenses are real good,is it perhaps due to their lack of speed?..is Nikon counting too much on high ISO capability,believing there is no need for fast glass as the EVF is electronic anyway...I`m puzzled .

I have to agree, I counted well over 100 on MPB but, as you say they are all slower lenses. I wonder if people have bought the slower lenses and then realised that they need the faster versions. The fast examples are expensive.
