Yesterday Yahoo Japan published an article about Nikon. The Google translation is hard to understand, but here are the main points:
- The Nikon D850 was described to have “high-speed continuous shooting“
- Nikon is still second in the camera industry
- “Action cameras shooting 360 degrees have poor reputation for connectivity with smartphones and have not reached half of the plan.“
- Camera and other imaging businesses accounted for more than half of Nikon’s sales
- Senior Managing Executive Officer Mr. Yoshihiro Kiyoshi said: “Strengthen middle / high-end single lens reflex, replacement lens and a mirrorless camera that can make use of brand power.”
- The article also mentions the previous quote from Nikon’s President Kazuo Ushida on the upcoming mirrorless camera: “Generate mirrorless camera that differs from other companies in terms of performance in generations grew up on smart phones. I would like to overwhelm the performance of the lens by making use of industrial lens technology, while also requiring playfulness“
