Rumors about the Nikon Z7III having a 67 MP sensor from Towerjazz are just pure funny speculations

The Weibo account E8M-888 is again sharing pure speculations about the upcoming Z7III sensor.He claims the Z7III will use a new 67MP Towerjazz sensor.

But there is a but:

In those years he has been never be right once…so I would be surprised if he would be right on this one. Other bloggers are picking up his “rumors” so my hand is forced to type once more…it’s pure SPECULATION. There is no source, not even a hint of half baked rumor.

The reason why they think they can trust him is because he actually share CORRECT camera registrations form China. This is official data he reports diligently. But beyond that whenever he shares some camera specs it’s just him playing with fantasy numbers 🙂

This is not mean to be disrespectful to the bloggers or to E8M. E8M makes a great jobs on the official registrations and also states often he is speculating on the specs. And I understand that some bloggers eager to share some rumor fail to notice that this part is not a real “rumor” 🙂

Capture One will soon release a dedicated version of Capture One for Nikon users?

I just got this rumor about a possible Capture One PRO 20 for Nikon edition coming soon:

The new Capture One for Nikon will bring all the power of Capture One to dedicated Nikon users at a reduced price point, including tailored profiles for supported Nikon cameras. Unlike other RAW processors, Capture One’s camera profiles are uniquely developed for each specific camera model, a process that requires the use of the camera in and out of a controlled lab in Copenhagen, where a team of specialists engage each new model in various scenarios. Nikoneye
They then evaluate all the performance parameters such as color, sharpness, and noise across hundreds of images and uses that data to deliver a truly tailored profile, which ultimately provides the best post-processing experience. Capture One for Nikoneye, like the Pro version, brings this level of support for Nikon cameras, including their latest cameras like the Z6, Z7, and D6.
