Nikon Z5 and Nikon Z9 to be announced this year – Z3 in 2020?

Nikon Z5 and Nikon Z9 to be announced this year?

Nikon could be set to unleash a pair of new models in its Z series mirrorless range. However, according to rumors, the system will no longer be exclusively full-frame; in addition to a professional version, we could also be seeing an APS-C entry. 

It should come as little surprise that the company is planning a pro body, as much of the criticism leveled at the Nikon Z7 is that it wasn't fit for professional use due to its single card slot, less than optimal autofocus and non-sports burst modes.
