In the background, the photographer’s give their impressions of the camera:
“Having a camera I can take anywhere with me is great, because the more pictures you take the greater it is for a creative” says photographer Vivien Liu.
Dutch photographer Marsel Van Oosten says “It feels just like a DSLR, but physically it’s totally different because it’s so lightweight”. Adding, “It’s really great, I can still use all my F-mount lenses on this new camera”.
Nikon will complete it’s restructuring process this year, which has seen falling sales turn in to increasing profits thanks to the release of the full-frame D850 DSLR. The decision to focus on high-end cameras has proven a winner so far, with the up-coming full-frame mirrorless camera sure to have an impact on both the company and the photography industry.
In the teaser titled “Mount”, we catch a glimpse of the camera’s lens mount. Although being a completely new design, the mount will also be compatible with Nikkor F-mounts via an adaptor.
Nikon also confirmed the launch of new lenses and stated they will have two “industry-leading camera systems to choose from”. Meaning Nikon’s DSLR range is here to stay and will run side-by-side with the new mirrorless system.
Apart from a few clues, the design and capabilities of the new full-frame camera are very much unknown.
