Nikon will have a new products announcement in the next 2-3 days. I am not sure about the exact date, but it will be before the start of the CP+ show in Japan (February 12-15, 2015). Here is another recap on what to expect:
- New special Nikon D810a DSLR camera designed for deep-sky astrophotography with increased hydrogen-alfa sensitivity (digicame-info confirmed the name: D800a – exactly what I reported last week).
- Nikon D7200 camera.
- Nikon 1 J5 mirrorless camera.
- New Nikon Coolpix cameras: P610, P900 AW130, S33, S3700, S7000, L840, S9900, L340. One of the new Coolpix cameras could be with a new 1″ sensor.
- The advanced Nikon DSLR firmware updates program should be made official as well, unless Nikon has decided to postponed it again.
I have not heard any rumors lately about those products, but there is still a chance that we may see some of them announced this week:
- With the recent Nikon Coolpix A camera price drop, I will not be surprised if Nikon releases also a new APS-C compact model (I have not received any tips on this new camera, I am just basing it on the fire sale they had few months ago).
- New Nikon 24mm f/1.8 lens (not sure about this one either, but it makes sense).
- New Nikon 1 lenses – all but one of the 1 Nikkor prototype lenses were already announced (the missing lens is the macro 1 Nikkor). Nikon has not announced new 1 Nikkor lenses in a long time.
