Nikon Rumors says the NIKKOR Z 120-300mm f/2.8 TC VR S is the next Nikon release, most likely at the end of October. The same report puts the Nikon Z70 in November, and says that camera announcement can still slip.

The lens itself is not a new rumor. Nikon announced development on May 7, 2026: a full-frame S-Line zoom with a built-in 1.4x teleconverter, covering 120-420mm once the converter is engaged, aimed at sports. Nikon did not give a price or a ship date, and said the finished lens may not look like the development photo. What changed on October 10 is the timing, the supply warning, and a price rumor.

Nikon Z5IIC Leak Update: Nikon.de Launch Offer, Japan Event Listing, Sept. 24

Leaked Z5IIC Launch Offer graphic via Nikon Rumors, not an official product photo — Screenshot of a “Z5IIC Launch Offer” graphic Nikon Rumors says appeared on Nikon’s websites. Not an official product photo of the camera. Via Nikon Rumors.

The name is now on Nikon’s own sites, not just in a rumor post. Nikon Rumors says Z5IIC listings started appearing on Nikon web pages, and posted screenshots of a Nikon Germany launch offer plus a Nikon Imaging Japan event filter that treats Z5IIC as a camera you can tick, next to the Z5II.

That is a step on from Friday’s “next week” item. NR has also tightened the spec list: no viewfinder (the bump hedge is gone), IBIS, a new AF subject class called Fish, black or silver-top editions, and a date — September 24.

Nikon Z5 IIC Rumor: Compact a7C Rival, 24MP, Aimed at Next Week

Nikon Rumors says Nikon will announce a Z5IIC next week — a compact full-frame body aimed at Sony’s a7C series. The name is NR’s spelling; it reads as a compact Z5II, not a confirmed product code. Nikon has not posted a camera, a price, or a photo of this body.

The list NR is willing to print is short: full-frame 24 MP, “new video features” with no codecs or frame rates attached, and a viewfinder line that is still two stories — no finder, or a built-in finder with no viewfinder bump. NR has not picked one.

Nikon Files a Third Unreleased Camera in China: N2528 Joins N2324 and N2527

A radio certificate is not a launch, and it is not a model name. It does mean three Nikon bodies are far enough along to need Chinese Wi-Fi and Bluetooth approval at the same time.
