Nikon Z8 teaser

Well played Nikon! Z8 easter egg in the latest teaser!

26-4-2023:

Venga va, por rumores que no quede: hablamos de la Nikon Z8 y esto es lo que la multinacional de espías anonimos de Nikon Rumors ha logrado recopilar.

Esta Nikon Z8 me está cayendo simpática desde hace tiempo. Es mucho menos armatoste que la Z9 y sin embargo parece que goza de casi todas sus virtudes. Pienso que va a ser un «best seller», aunque no es tirada de precio. Si yo fuera nikonista casi seguro que le tiraría los tejos.

¿Por qué el Sr.Sony no se atreve a sacar una cámara con obturación electrónica integral y sin embargo si le hace los sensores a Nikon? ¿Que hay ahí que ellos saben y nosotros no?

Nikon Z8 camera rumors recap:

• The Nikon Z8 is rumored to be officially announced in the second week of May (on or around May 9-10). As I already discussed, there are multiple dates involved in these announcements and it is hard to say what is what. Multiple events are scheduled all over the world between May 8-11. The Nikon Z8 is also expected to be shown at the Photo London event (May 11-14). There is also a Nikon event in Dubai on May 23rd.
• The Nikon Z8 is rumored to start shipping at the end of May or in early June. Nikon’s goal for the Z8 is to cut the pre-order wait time.
• The Nikon Z8 internal code could be Q2070.
• The Nikon Z8 is referred to as “mini Z9” or “baby Z9”.
• The Nikon Z8 will have a better AF with telephoto lenses from a far distance (not sure why).

• Similar form factor to the Nikon Z6/Z7.

Se nota, se siente, la XX está presente: ¿y quién es la XX?, ah, pues tendréis que entrar a mirar.

En un alarde de estrategia marquetiniana solo posible en este Blog despliego toda mi creatividad para generar visitas y hacerme trillonario con la publicidad que no tengo, cosa realmente no desdeñable en estos momentos de terrible incertidumbre donde todas las WEB’s del ramo están desapareciendo como por encanto, maléfico hechizo, digo, al estilo de “Avada Kedavra”

Al final solo quedaremos German, que trabajará, yo, que lo contaré, y Hugo Rodríguez que nos ajustará el color y para entonces ya andará con los sensores de 1” (no te enfades Hugo).
