Rumor: Nikon mirrorless camera will come with three lenses and 2.6x crop factor

By [NR] admin | Published: May 5, 2011

Rumor: Nikon’s mirrorless camera will be targeting professionals, to be released in few weeks

By [NR] admin | Published: March 10, 2011

Few weeks ago DSLR Magazine and Mirrorlessrumors already reported that the upcoming Nikon mirrorless camera will be targeted at professionals which contradicted what Nikon executives have said last year.
