With the Nikon Z9 going on 5 years old, it’s time to start to speculate what the Nikon Z9II specifications might be. With an estimated release date sometime in late 2025 or early 2026, it appears that now is a good time to start documenting what changes and improvements are needed with the Nikon Z9 II
Today, I received the latest Nikon camera release, The Z50II along with the DX lens 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3.
I had a chance to use this combination shortly after delivery as I provide event photography coverage for a major local holiday event.
Since I no longer use any Adobe products (due to the AI mess they have created resulting in fake photos everywhere), and Capture One has yet to support the Z50II, I had to use Adobe’s DNG converter (cough, cough…) to convert the NEF files into DNG files in order to use Capture One to process the photos.
Today, Nikon issued an update to their NX Studio desktop software from version 1.7.0 to 1.7.1. Here is what has changed:
Today, Nikon announces the Z50II, a huge upgrade over the original Z50 camera. The headlines here are the upgrades to the auto focus system, now having the Expeed 7 processor, the same one in the Nikon Z9, Z8 and Z6III cameras. And many more upgrades over the Z50.
Today, I just received this beauty of a lens and I’m eager to give it a try. Stay tuned for a few test shots NOW WITH TEST SHOTS.

In Capture One, with default settings, you see the whole un-cropped photo when using the Browser to view your images in a folder. The part of the image outside of the cropped area is a little dimmer than the part of the image included in the cropped photo.
