It will be a mistake for the Zs to come with a fixed lens. The Zs shouldn't try to compete with the Fujifilm X100 series. It should be more like that X-Pro but with a full film sensor.

[nickjessel]

Is this the influence of the Fujifilm success with the X100 line?

[jeremyweasley]

If it’s a full frame range finder, it might be a direct marketing hit for both Leica M series and Fuji X100.

[jesusalvarado]

Nikon needs to design more smaller lenses to go with this. Most current Z lenses protrude too much.

[CarlosPlazola]

Ok Nikon, BUT PUT SOME EFFING FILM STOCK SIMULATIONS!!!

[DaveHaynie]

If Nikon is thinking correctly about this and, of course, actually does it, there is zero point in "protecting Z6/Z7 sales." That's Canon thinking. A company isn't in competition with itself. If Nikon sells a ZS rather than a Z6 II, either benefits Nikon. If they crapify this to avoid cannibalizing other models, they drive buyers to Canon, Sony, or Fujifilm, particularly the latter two if you're looking for a rangerfinderesque body. This is a good chance for Nikon to show new buyers they're interesting.

Almost immediately after suggesting either down featuring or up pricing, you immediately suggest it should have a bunch of video features from the Z9?!? In what universe does that make any sense? The silent electronic shutter makes sense in a street photography camera, but this never becomes a budget cinematographer's tool. It really is okay to imagine a different camera being optimal for its use case and not forcing higher pricing for things uninteresting for the target market.

Where are the Nikon S lenses with aperture control rings?

[davidjb]

If this is where they are headed, they are missing the mark. Why would they price it that much higher than the Zf? Also, why are they introducing a rangefinder style body that will be better matched to the SE line of lenses (like for the Zf) than the S-line with their much heavier build, when they only have a couple of SE line lenses available now? The timing and pricing on this, as suggested by this video, are off. Having said that, if they launch a few more lenses and price this body similarly to the Zf, I for one, would be interested in checking it out.

[OneWeekGetAway]

So we are speaking about a smaller ZF - sort of in line with the ZFC line - with a high resolution sensor?

[peterleary]

Do not make this camera with a fixed lens, add some compact primes with aperture rings and you will have a winner!

[joseenriqueiborra]

Desde un punto de vista estético y funcional, sin duda esa ZS sería MI CÁMARA, la cámara que he estado esperando toda la vida desde las Nikon S analógicas. ¡Espero ansioso la confirmación de la noticia!

[tomwestbrook]

I’ve been over the huge camera thing that Nikon seemed stuck on for a long time. The Z8 is a move in the right direction so I’ll snap up a Zs if it’s got the basic functionality I need.

[libercracia]

Mi cámara ideal sería con visor electrónico de tamaño generoso, pantalla articulada, simulación de una docena de películas, entre ellas un par de Kodachrome y dos o tres en b/n tipo Ilford HP5, con el sensor y las prestaciones de la Nikon 7 II.
Lentes intercambiables, la 40/2 es perfecta para esta ZS, faltaría un 24 y un 85.
Diales que controlen todos los parámetros sin tener que tocar la pantalla, con joystick. Cámara sellada. Seguramente se me olvidan cosas.
Si la 7II se vende por menos de 3.000 €, creo que sería posible que ZS tuviera el mismo precio.

[mikehamilton]

Knowing Nikon, they will probably still stick a flip-out screen on it. No tilt screen = useless for street and event photography. Ironically, it is mostly street and event photographers who want a retro rangefinder-styled camera.

[Nightryder]

They should develop the Hybrid camera. I think it was perfect. Especially now with all the modernisation . P7100 to P7700 .

[Chum_chumi]

I don't think this is true but I think the brand to make it will have very successful sales! It's certainly the camera I'm waiting for. X-pro 4 is the closest but it's not full frame. The m series is out of most people's budget

[markuscasuttphotography]

20-25MP and a screen like the z8 has with fixed lens. i would love to get one!!!! with z-mount i would probably too. with a flip out screen i would not!!!

[cryptobyt]

If z mount ver difficult. Lens mount too large for those kind of product. If non interchangable its alright. Bcs the lens diameter can be reducrd to the size of s mount

[JeffWernerIthacaNY]

Personally I hope it comes with a Nikon S-mount adapter!

[janvirtanen]

Z mount lenses are too big for nice compact rangefinder, and with z mount it would not be a rangefinder, it would be autofocus. They could use m mount and make it real rangefinder. But building optical rangefinder is quite expencive because rangefinder is complex optical device.
