Nikon’s New Full Frame Camera Z5 Debuts Exclusively on JD
by Rachel Liu
On August 25th, Nikon’s new full frame mirrorless Z5 camera launched exclusively on JD in China. The product was available for pre-order on JD starting August 11th and was greatly welcomed by customers. During the first week of the launch, JD also provided customers with services such as 30-day return and price insurance. On August 25th, sales of Nikon on JD increased 400% YOY.
The Nikon Z5 collection is an entry-level full frame camera priced under RMB 10,000 yuan, so is suitable for young customers and new photography addicts. The camera is equipped with a 24.3 MP full frame CMOS sensor to capture detailed images even in a low-light environment. It is powered by Nikon’s EXPEED 6 image processing system and 5-axis VR image stabilization system for high-quality, high-clarity photos. Its Eye-Detection Autofocus can quickly find subjects’ eyes and follow them as they move. The 273 focus points can easily focus on the subject wherever it is in the frame. Those features actually make Z5 also a good choice for vloggers and professional filming teams.
JD has also been the first choice for many electronic brands to launch their new products, and has a vast group of high-end, young customers who demand high-quality products, which is the reason for Nikon to choose JD for the launch of its Z5. To help Nikon better promote the new product, JD also prepared gift boxes for customers including SD card, camera cleaning products and a backpack. The company also hosted photography professionals on a series of livestreams over the course of one week.
“I think Nikon Z5 is a great choice for those who have just started to learn photography. Its full frame lenses can capture more image area, and the stabilization system makes it easy to handle. The price of Z5 on JD is also very competitive for a full frame camera. I started to buy cameras and accessories on JD years ago because of the fast delivery and great service,” said Ge Shi, an experienced extreme landscapes photographer.

JD.com and Camposol Kick Off 2025 Peruvian Blueberry Season with First Shanghai Shipment
JD Super, the supermarket division of JD.com, and Camposol, Peru’s leading fruit exporter, celebrated the arrival of the first 2025 season Peruvian blueberries in Shanghai on July 4. This landmark shipment, facilitated through a direct-procurement partnership, launches the global blueberry season and reinforces JD.com’s role as a trusted bridge for international brands and specialty products reaching Chinese consumers.
Building on the successful collaboration in 2024, JD Super and Camposol have strengthened their partnership to source top-tier blueberries directly from Peru’s northern orchards. This year, JD Super anticipates purchasing over 1,000 tons of blueberries, streamlining the supply chain to deliver fresher, more affordable fruit to Chinese shoppers. By eliminating intermediaries and optimizing the process, this partnership makes premium blueberries more accessible and less expensive, enabling consumers to enjoy what’s popularly called “blueberry freedom” in China.
The 2025 Peruvian blueberry season arrived two weeks ahead of schedule, with an estimated yield exceeding 400,000 tons of exceptional quality produce —a 27% increase from last year. JD Super is set to capture 10% of the 72,000-ton supply to China, cementing its position as the largest online retailer for Peruvian blueberries. The initial shipment features the selection of the premium Madeira variety, carefully graded to 16MM+ and 18MM+ sizes for superior flavor, sweetness, and consistency.
JD Super implements a comprehensive assurance system to ensure uncompromising quality through rigorous controls. On-site specialists at Camposol’s Peruvian warehouses monitor product standards from the source, while JD Super conducts regular online quality checks to ensure consistent excellence. Every blueberry meets JD’s strict standards for firmness and uniformity, guaranteeing customers receive premium-grade fruit.
To preserve freshness, the blueberries are transported via a fully sanitized, end-to-end cold-chain system from Peru to China. JD Logistics supports this with cold-chain delivery across over 300 cities, guaranteeing each blueberry arrives as fresh as when it was picked.
Since entering the imported blueberry market in 2018, JD Super has honed its supply chain expertise, reducing costs while improving quality. This direct-sourcing model has made Peruvian blueberries more affordable and popular, driving exponential sales growth on JD’s platform and turning an unfamiliar fruit into a household favorite in China. Peru’s blueberry industry has seen remarkable growth, with cultivation expanding from 80 hectares in 2012 to 20,500 hectares today, reflecting a 65% annual growth rate.
This partnership between JD Super and Camposol sets a new benchmark for global produce collaborations, delivering fresh, high-quality Peruvian blueberries to millions while fostering efficient, sustainable trade.

As the 22nd ranked company, JD.com remains the only Chinese retailer to be included in the Top 25, joined by global supply chain leaders including Apple, Amazon, P&G, Unilever, Walmart and more.
As the industry’s most prestigious ranking, Gartner Top 25 evaluates companies based on key areas including financial metrics, ESG performance, and expert opinion. Gartner also identified three success drivers shaping this year’s rankings: -autonomous operations, agentic AI, and water stewardship.
Technology Drives Efficiency Elevation
Since launching its comprehensive technology transformation in 2017, JD.com has invested more than RMB 140 billion in R&D. By the end of 2024, the company’s supply chain infrastructure assets increased to RMB 161 billion, up 12% year-on-year.
These investments have helped fuel the company’s highly efficient operations. Managing over 10 million self-operated SKUs, JD.com maintained an impressive inventory turnover of approximately 30 days in 2024. The company also launched TimeHF, its first self-developed billion-scale time series forecasting model, improving forecast accuracy by over 10% and enhancing scientific and accurate inventory management.
Smart Logistics for Speedy Fulfillment
JINGDONG Logistics (also known as JD Logistics) operates over 40 “Asia No.1” intelligent logistics parks across China, where AI-powered scheduling robots work alongside warehousing staff to improve storage efficiency by 10%.

The “Logistics Brain” system powers dozens of real-world business scenarios across JD.com’s network. For example, the “Courier Assistant” and “Smart Station Manager” use AI to reduce manual hours and enhance management efficiency at front delivery stations. In agriculture, blockchain-based traceability platforms have helped increase fruit and vegetable sales by 30%, while spatial-temporal intelligence tools have shortened store location planning cycles by 80%.
Guided by the principle of bringing goods as close as possible to the customer, JD.com has continued to optimize its logistics network and delivery processes by minimizing handling steps and shortening transportation distance. Today, 95% of JD.com’s retail orders in China can be delivered within 24 hours.
AI for Full Supply Chain Efficiency
JD Cloud is the technological cornerstone of JD.com, its self-developed large language model (LLM), which supports the intelligent upgrade across the company’s supply chain. JD Cloud’s proprietary intelligent agent, JoyAgent 2.0, addresses both general and complex commercial queries and is currently running more than 14,000 instances internally. Meanwhile, its “Joy Inside” program connects with leading robotics partners to offer highly personalized, intelligent companionship solutions.
Additionally, JD.com is leveraging AI to drive full-chain efficiency. The “Logistics Brain” system integrates LLMs and digital twin technology to enable real-time simulations for billions of orders, accelerating fulfillment times by over 12% during the 2024 JD.com Singles Day shopping festival.
Green Supply Chain
JD.com is also a leader in building a low-carbon supply chain through innovative green technologies. Its self-developed carbon footprint platform, Jingtanhui, serves over 100 brands, helping manage more than 500 tons of carbon assets, and manages over 40 million waybills. The program has been recognized in China’s national green technology promotion catalog. The company supports paperless operations through its procurement system saving paper equivalent to 20,000 trees annually, while smart packaging algorithms strike a balance between sustainability and cost.
