Well I just got to try the Canon RS-60E3, which also works with Fuji cameras. SO I was hopeful it would work.
But no, the jack plug is bigger than the Canon one. SO I will need to save up for the expensive Nikon one, or find a suitable 3rd party one.
The JJC S-PK1 is the first one I've found. I will keep looking to see what else there is.
I think given some time, companies like Vello may have a solution that isn't expensive, and they might already have something (I haven't checked). I'd actually like to know NIkon's reasoning for changing the DC2 to a DC3 plug.
I am using the Vello Freewave plus with the cable I found on Amazon. See post above.
For those yes it will work ,but for people who have the dedicated DC2 connector on their release, they would have to buy a new one (same for people who want to use GPS, which I don't know if there is a cable yet that will work with the GPS units).
The Z50ii requires a 3.5mm 4-pole male connector. The 4th pole tells the camera whether a headphone or remote is connected. The Freewave requires a 2.5mm 3-pole male connector. The only cable I found on Amazon is 10” long. I wish it was longer but it works.
I think you're missing the point. Some wired remotes at least have a built-in DC2 connector, for which you cannot change the connector (it's one piece). For those people, it would mean they'd have to buy another remote. The DC2 has been used as far back as I can remember, at least to cameras like the D750. Now while a new remote isn't the end of the world, some may see this as an annoyance particularly if they own other Z cameras that don't have the DC3 option. And as for those who may want to use GPS, this may rule those out (like the GP1 and GP1A) since those (as far as I know) don't have a compatible connector. The only options for that are DC2 and 10-pin (found on cameras like the Z8/Z9, D850, etc).
