Nikon Mirrorless Rumors parte III

“ Modest MP count - probably 24-28MP BSI sensor (new tech with advanced AF)
Nikon is putting a lot of emphases and effort into the shooting experience of the new mirrorless camera (ergonomics, nice grip design, image stabilization, etc)
4K video
Price range between $2,000 and 3,000$
Two Nikon mirrorless cameras will most likely be announced together, but still not sure about the combo: one full frame and one APS-C or one low MP (24MP?) and one high MP count (48MP?). At least one full frame mirrorless camera is guaranteed.

“ Note that I said "cameras" in the title - yes, Nikon is coming up with two mirrorless cameras. Here are the specs that I believe are correct (some numbers could be slightly off or rounded):

- Two mirrorless cameras: one with 24-25MP and one with 45MP (48MP is also a possibility). I assume both cameras are full frame (I did not get a specific confirmation on that).

- Similar body size to the Sony a7 camera but with better ergonomics and a better grip.

- 5-axis in-body stabilization

- 9fps

- New mirrorless mount. We already knew that, but the number I was given this time is 55mm. The Z-mount dimensions I reported a few months ago were 49mm for the actual opening and 65.4mm for the entire mount diameter.

- The new mirrorless mount will allow for f/0.95 lenses - remember the NOCT trademark and f/0.9 lens patents?

- Memory cards: XQD and CF Express - now this is a surprise for me, but it is what I have heard (ProGrade is coming with a CF Express card).

- EVF resolution: 3.6MP

- Initially, three lenses will be announced: 24-70mm, 35mm and 50mm (I think the 35 and 50mm will be f/1.4). There is also talk about a 24mm, but it may come later.

- Pricing:
The 45MP model will be around $4,000/€4,000 in a kit with the 24-70mm lens.
The 25MP model will be under $3,000/€3,000 (also with a lens).

- The official announcement is rumored for the end of July (on or around July 23rd) and shipping shortly after (August 23rd). This is the part I am not sure about because previous tips suggested a Photokina announcement. Maybe we will see the development announcement at the end of July and the official announcement before Photokina. I will try to get a confirmation on the exact announcement date. „

“ The new Nikon mirrorless full frame lenses


- Initially, three lenses will be announced: 24-70mm f/4, 35mm and 50mm (I think the 35 and 50mm will be f/1.4). There is also talk about a 24mm, but it may come later.

- At least one new mirrorless zoom lens will have power zoom for video recording (unconfirmed, could be announced later).

- Two electric AF motors (not confirmed).

- Very sophisticated new F-mount adapter (confirmed by multiple sources).

- I was told that Nikon is currently developing a large number of new mirrorless lenses and this is a top priority.

- The new mirrorless mount will allow for f/0.95 lenses (see the NOCT trademark and f/0.9 lens patents) „

“ C'è da chiedersi se questo sarà lo stesso per Nikon. Secondo me no, perché si parla di adattare ottiche dello stesso marchio. In più sarà progettato direttamente dall'azienda, non da terze parti. Vedremo. „

“ 2) Chi protesta per un attacco con tiraggio diverso forse non ha capito come funziona :
a) un attacco con tiraggio cortissimo (pare il più corto del mercato) permette di costruire ottiche più piccole e luminose.
b) un adattatore integrato permette in ogni caso di utilizzare tutto il parco ottiche esistente.
In questo modo chi si vorrà fare un corredo ex novo prenderà il nuovo attacco, chi vorrà tenere i 2 sistemi ed usare le sue ottiche potrà farlo. „

“ ....attendo (insieme al capo progettazione Nikon) con trepidazione i vostri suggerimenti... „

“ In questo modo chi si vorrà fare un corredo ex novo prenderà il nuovo attacco, chi vorrà tenere i 2 sistemi ed usare le sue ottiche potrà farlo. „

“ che quando l'ha "fatto" Sony guai a loro, ora che lo fa Nikon va bene? „

“ Nikon su Nikon potrebbe essere un po' meglio lato compatibilità e funzionalità...che ne dici? „

“ Questo è un chiaro invito a cambiare brand secondo me... „
