I do not know if you have noticed, but Nikon announced only two Coolpix cameras last month. This is a significant step down compared to previous years when we usually get dozens of different models. There is also no word on any new Nikon 1 products. We know that Nikon is concerned about the shrinking compact digital camera market and have reported very poor mirrorless sales in US and Europe. The future of those two product lines is uncertain – it seems that Nikon has put everything on hold until they figure out how to proceed in the future. At the same time pretty much every other photo company is announcing new products around this time of the year. As of today, I am not aware of any scheduled Nikon press conferences. Maybe they just need more time to develop a meaningful response to the current market conditions. In the meantime I have scheduled several guest posts to keeps us entertained.
