First, I have to give credit to the Canadian nature photographer Brad Hill who correctly “predicted” the D500 announcement (see my post here). Back in September last year I reported about a possible combined announcement of the “D400” and D5, but this rumor kind of faded away (see my post here). Check out also this D500 rumor from 2008
Here are the updates on my last “what to expect” post:
- Nikon D5 (announced)
- Nikon Wireless Transmitter WT-6 & Nikon Speedlight SB-5000 (announced)
- New Nikon extreme/action camera (announced)
- New photo sharing app (announced)
- New 18-55mm DX lens (announced)
Still not announced:
- Three new Nikon compact cameras with 1″ sensor and different focal lengths
- Replacements for the S33 and S9900 Coolpix compact cameras (Coolpix A10 & A100?) update: A10 and A100 announced, B500 is still missing
Few more potential rumors for late 2016/2017:
- Full frame Nikon mirrorless camera
- New “Df-like” camera (most likely in 2017)
- E and/or FL refresh for all Nikkor tele lenses – this is more of a long term goal and it will take few years until Nikon replaces all mentioned lenses
