Good catch on the ISO range, Steve. That number isn't competitive with current Canon and Sony mirroless - Canon EOS R5 and Sony A9 II are both 51200. We'll see Weds. about the Z 7|6 IIs.
>>"If I am guessing, something I'm not shy to do , something about this rumour doesn't add up. It could just be the ISO range noted in the rumour is wrong on the low side, or this rumour is actually the Z8. And speaking of which if you see where it is noted that "previous rumour was 61 megapixels for this camera". The Z8 had a previous rumour of 61 megapixels not the Z9 as far as I am aware".
I sometimes wonder about this. I don't know if you read the Mr. Oishi interview in DPReview or not, but I came away thinking Nikon is not teasing any future product features. He was happy to talk about current releases, but very tight lipped about future products (loose lips sink ships). So how well are they managing the 'leaks'? Are they sanctioned, unsanctioned or a mix.
I think the 40+ MP's is probably real. I'm surprised there isn't more reaction to possibly breaking the 20-24MP norm for Sports cameras. It will impact your workflow. Then we can start looking at the scaling options in camera, as Tony suggests.
I also think the writer's sometimes have difficulty keeping the numbers straight. There's a good example in the Canon world referenced in the Nikon Rumors Z9 piece. Canon has a new model in the hands of a small group of photographers with “around 90MP”. The article says it's the rumored Canon EOS R5S, so it doesn't relate to the rumored EOS R1.
