Nikon Z8 with the Nikkor Z 24-120mm f/4 lens
Firmware version 2.01 is a minor update. Here are the changes compared to firmware version 2.0:
• Changed the default values for the following settings displayed when connecting wirelessly:
Encryption keys
The password displayed after the camera's default settings are restored
Fixed the following issues:
- Green color casting occurred with some pictures taken.
- The date and time set in camera sometimes would not be correctly applied.
- Using [Picture review] to view an image in a “tall” (portrait) orientation and zooming in the image prevented the display from being scrolled to the intended direction with multi selector or sub-selector.
- After a firmware update, the eye sensor sometimes would not function and the viewfinder would not turn on.
- The “i” menu would sometimes remain in the viewfinder when it was looked through after the shutter-release button was pressed halfway to exit the “i” menu viewed in the monitor.

With Nikon’s latest refresh of their USA website today, the Z6II and the Z5 cameras are now just footnotes, literally (see screenshots below). If you are thinking of purchasing any of these 2 cameras, you should do it soon since both have been demoted to a small hyperlink at the bottom of their successors listing at Nikon’s website as shown below in red boxes. With both having been released in 2020, I think the current asking price is still way over their market value given how old they are.
