If Nikon can get this camera to market and get it front and center in big-box retail stores, they will be well on their way to reclaiming some of the APS-C market share. The Nikon Z30 could be the perfect gateway camera to the larger world of Z mount cameras. Nikon needs to keep the Z30 simple so that it appeals to as many people as possible. We would like to see an improved EXPEED processor and an autofocus system that eclipses those found in Nikons’ current APS-C cameras. A single UHS-II card slot will suffice, and USB-C charging should be a no-brainer. So there’s hope for a higher megapixel Nikon Z30 APS-C camera that’s still relatively affordable.Ī flip-down screen would make the camera appeal to vloggers and selfie-lovers. Canon shocked us when they launched the EOS M6 II with its 32.5-megapixel sensor and priced it at $849. Cube has been established by Malavasi (born in Mirandola near Modena), a young musician who contributed to the creation of the so called Sound Of Bologna. They have conquered the Italian market within a short time, and just do the same with the international one as well. However, it would be better to exceed that number. Cube is a 80s italo-disco dance trio consisting of an English and two Italian members. With the Canon EOS R10 sitting at 24-megapixels, it would make sense for the Nikon Z30 to at least meet that number. The fully-articulating screen on the Zfc is nice, but we’d prefer to see the flip-down screen from the z50 on the Nikon Z30. Still, I would not be surprised if the upcoming Nikon Z30 uses the same sensor as the Z50 and Zfc. Word on the street is that Nikon has been playing with 36-megapixel and 46-megapixel sensors for APS-C and full-frame cameras. Whether or not this means their APS-C cameras will continue to use the 20.9-megapixel sensor that’s currently in use or move to a higher megapixel sensor is unknown. One interesting snippet of information is that Nikon could be about to ditch 24-megapixel sensors. Many consumers are starting to look for more than their smartphone cameras can offer. In all honesty, this would be a great time to introduce such a camera. Whether or not it will be the mirrorless successor to the D3XXX DSLR line remains to be seen. Giving the camera a model number beneath the Z50 suggests that the Nikon Z30 could be a bare-bones APS-C camera designed for the masses. I think that the Z30 could be this camera. However, there has been speculation about an EVF-less Nikon mirrorless camera for some time. Unfortunately, there’s not much information about the Nikon Z30 - which could be announced at the end of June.
