Nikon Nikon teaser video for a new MILC...

[Deleted member 13442]

If that really is the new body I like what I see.

If that really is the new body I like what I see.

Size, to me, looks similar to a Fuji X-H1 - larger than the Sony A7 series, smaller than FF DSLRs. Good middle ground IMHO.

Rumor site is reporting a new "leaked" photo. And another similar one posted later in the comments section.

That looks like it might be the real thing.

I guess they want it to look like an SLR- with that big F5 style pentaprism.

Too bad- they could have made it look like a Nikon SP.

 

[rayvonn]

That size and that price. You’d have to consider a GFX too as a possible alternative.

 

[Luke]

is that thing going to be BIGGER than FF?

They could make it Medium format.....with all those Megapickles, FF could be a crop mode

I have a lot of Nikkor glass gathered over many years, and it hasn’t seen much use with my Df.
My fault, since M43 and Leica grabbed my interest.

I am looking forward to this release as this potentially is a replacement for my Df.
Seems the teaser is at least generating interest by those who are in the camera buying demographic.

 

[BrianS]

I have ~20 Nikkor lenses in Leica mount for the M9 and M Monochrom, and many times that in F-mount. They see a lot of use on the Df. I really need to start shooting more film to use the S-mount. I've shot with Nikkor lenses and Nikon cameras for over 40 years now- I hope they pull off a winner.

More updated rumors.

Breaking: Nikon Z6 and Z7 full-frame mirrorless cameras and three lenses coming on August 23rd, Z-Noct-Nikkor 58mm f/0.95 lens to be announced later | Nikon Rumors

Names sound a bit goofy IMHO.

We'll know what Nikon developed in 10 days.

 

[drd1135]

nikk-noct-paddy whack, give the dog a bone . . .

Of course, these bodies and lenses will probably be a really nice kit.

 

[Mike G]

Steve, I’m going to nit pick here it should be “ nick nack Paddy whack, give the dog a bone”

 

[drd1135]

Yeah, but the lens is a noct-nikkor so I had to adapt. Although I also think of nighttime underwear.

 

[gordo]

Current rumors updates... Expecting more leaks over the next few days as the camera/ lens info makes it to distributors. 24-70/4, 50/1.8 and 35/1.8 lenses to be announced with the cameras, with the Noct and a 24mm announced later. Among a few other rumors about sensor performance and the F adapter.

We'll know for sure Wednesday/ Thursday. And Canon is rumored to be making an announcement on FF MILC this year.

Yeah - I was really looking forward to seeing reviews on that 24-85 DL.

We'll soon see if Nikon is phoning it in, or making a serious attempt.

Nikon has a lot more riding on this one.

 

[donlaw]

I am hoping they pull off a winner like they did with the D850.

 

[gordo]

Nikon just dropped another teaser - Photographers' Impressions

 

[kyteflyer]

I wish they would just get on with it. All this teaser stuff is just getting up my nose.

Happened to see these two news items on dpreview's front page:

So Nikon is only 10 years late with what could be a serious mirrorless offering. I started out in mirrorless in 2009 with the Panasonic G1 and that went so well for me that I sold my Nikon D300s and all lenses within a year after the purchase of the G1. And Nikon now starts out like any other mirrorless entrant, with one or two bodies and a few lenses, three to start with if the rumors are correct. It'll take them years probably before they'll have a mature system. And I don't count adapting F-mount lenses as a real option, unless Nikon succeeds in getting it perfectly right, i.e. no performance nor functionality penalties with autofocus.
