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
