Google says these are the CIPA sales volumes for DSLRs; I'm sure the trend has carried past 2023. My guess would be that we shall see some consolidation in the manufacturing space.. some M&A.

TimG · June 30Jun 30

A firmware update is available from the Nikon Download Center/Centre for the Nikon Z6III. This is an update to v1.11 from v 1.10.

The link is here: https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/download/fw/564.html
