Nikon's flagship-grade mirrorless packs the same 45.7MP stacked sensor as the Z9 into a smaller DSLR-sized body, delivering 8K 60p internal recording and 120fps at 4K. The dual USB-C port design is unique among mirrorless cameras — one port handles high-speed data transfer and tethering at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, while the second provides dedicated USB Power Delivery for continuous shooting without battery drain. A full-size HDMI Type A port outputs clean video including N-RAW to Atomos recorders for external recording workflows.
Nikon’s 45.7MP flagship mirrorless with full-size HDMI, dual USB-C ports, and 3.5mm audio I/O.
