Nikon Mirrorless EVIL camera

Recap of what’s next

I first want to start with a quote from Donald Rumsfeld (thanks for bringing that one up broxibear) “There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown […]

Nikon rep: customers aren’t really asking us for a mirrorless camera

Just some quotes from Techradar’s interview with James Loader, Nikon UK Product Manager for Consumer Products: “We’re watching the market, much the same as everyone else is, we’d be foolish to ignore what’s happening.

Another Nikon announcement is definitely coming in the next few weeks. I do not have the exact date yet. Nikon will also release their mirrorless interchangeable lens camera in the next few weeks.

The 50/50 [NR] roller coaster

The ratio of tips and rumors I received for a new DSLR vs. mirrorless camera announcement on August 24 is 50/50. The main difference is that I got some details on the mirrorless camera and nothing on the DSLR front. This is why I changed  my “prediction” from two DSLR bodies to a mirrorless only […]

Nikon’s mirrorless: not a “pro” camera but with few very innovative features

Nikon has mentioned on several occasions that they will surprise the market and will do things differently with their mirrorless camera. They also said that their mirrorless camera will not be targeted at professionals (although several websites reported the contrary) and will have enhanced video features. The new Nikon mirrorless camera was described to me as “having more enthusiast than pro features” […]
