Or it will be offered as an optional accessory.
The source claims that this year the Nikon Z 5 mirrorless camera will be released. In the Nikon Z line of cameras, this full-frame model will take place slightly lower than the Nikon Z 6 model.
Nikon Z 5 may not have an electronic viewfinder
Allegedly, the Nikon Z 5 will not have a built-in electronic viewfinder. It can be offered as an optional accessory. The source recalls that such a solution is found in cameras of other manufacturers. For example, the Sigma fp camera is deprived of the electronic viewfinder, and the manufacturer offers a separate electronic viewfinder for the Fujifilm GFX 100 model. By the way, Nikon has several patents for a camera in which the electronic viewfinder is missing or designed as a removable accessory.
The thematic resource Nikon Rumors, which published this information, regularly publishes preliminary information on the latest Nikon news, which, contrary to the name of the site (“Rumors about Nikon”), is very often confirmed. For example, if we talk about Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, he published high-quality images of the Nikon Z 50 model and subsequently confirmed preliminary technical data before its announcement.
