Everything We Know About Nikon’s Upcoming Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera

In what was essentially a foregone ratiocination afterthis teaser videopopped up yesterday , earlier this first light Nikonconfirmedit is working on a newfangled , full - frame mirrorless television camera .

Nikon ’s official statement on the tidings is incredibly vague and throws around a lot of plug with phrases order the new photographic camera will “ enable a novel dimension in optical performance ” and that it “ reaffirm our committal to providing photographer with the power to capture image that are richer and more bright than ever before , ” but do n’t allow that distract you from consider how significant this photographic camera is to Nikon ’s future .

That ’s because even though Nikon and Canon have maintained a stronghold on the DSLR market , thesingle lens system reflex category is shrivel , with many major television camera executive agreeing that “ full - figure mirrorless will become the norm , and it will materialize passably soon . ” Meanwhile , gross revenue of mirrorless cameras increased by 30 percentage in 2017 , with companies like Panasonic , Olympus , and most notably Sony glean much of the benefits .

That brings us back to Nikon ’s upcoming full - skeletal frame mirrorless , which would not only be a first for Nikon , but could also be a make - or - respite product for the company . Let ’s first go through what little details Nikon has announced so far , before getting into the more far - out supposition .

The full - frame mirrorless part is a given , but Nikon has also stated that its coming photographic camera will feature a new setting that will work with an upcoming line of lenses made specifically for its mirrorless camera . This might seem like a error , as one of Nikon ’s greatest assets is all the lenses the company has made over the last hundred years . However , Nikon also impart that it ’s working on an F - mount adapter that will let the great unwashed apply its former lens system on its raw camera , though even with the best adapters , there is often a svelte step-down in picture quality .

As for other detail , theteaser video showsa body that bet like a mix between a Nikon DF and what you ’d get on a high - end Sony Alpha ( but with a slightly larger grip ) , with dials to the unexpended and right of a built - in electronic finder and a relatively turgid - depend display on the back . And that ’s pretty much it . Nikon has also set upa consecrated websitefor advance its coming tv camera , but alas , it does n’t contain any extra info .

at long last , Nikon Rumors says the camera could start shipping as early as August 23 , which would be a good matter for Nikon as reports havesuggested for monthsthat Canon is also plan on announcing its own full - frame mirrorless photographic camera sometime later this class .
