Additional Nikon mirrorless full frame camera specifications (AF and more)

I have some new Nikon mirrorless full frame camera specifications to report:

  • Over 400 AF points, not sure about the exact number, it should be somewhere between 430-450. The AF is supposed to be very fast.
  • The rear LCD screen is tiltable just like the Nikon D850.

  • There is a second LCD screen on the top of the camera (just like the Fuji X-H1 pictured above)
  • My understanding is that there is only one selection wheel on top of the camera.

  • The camera’s “prism” with the EVF is a bit less angular/smoother when compared to the Sony a7.
  • I can now confirm that the new 24-70 mirrorless full frame kit lens will indeed be f/4.
  • I see 8K listed in the technical specifications, but it is hard for me to get the translation – I don’t think it’s for video, maybe 8K time-lapse just like the D850?
  • The new Nikon mirrorless camera will have a nice finish and a very comfortable grip. The overall handling/feeling is supposed to be excellent – this is coming from somebody who is/has tested the camera.
  • Most likely no built-in flash.
  • The promo materials should include dancers/singers.
  • Potential names: Z300 and Z500 (not confirmed at all, could be just a guess).

Nikon mirrorless camera specs recap


This is a recap on the upcoming Nikon mirrorless cameras. The previous post got a lot of comments and it is hard to navigate, so this will be another place to discuss the upcoming announcement.

Keep in mind that the leaked specifications could be slightly different for the two different models. The translation could also be off since the original set of specifications came from Asia (pictured above is a Nikon mirrorless camera concept created by a reader).

Here we go:

Nikon mirrorless camera rumors update

Nikon mirrorless camera concept © by Broxibear

I am continuing to update my list of rumored/expected details for the new Nikon mirrorless camera. Here is the new info:

  • Modest MP count – probably 24-28MP BSI sensor (new tech with advanced AF)
  • Nikon is putting a lot of emphases and effort into the shooting experience of the new mirrorless camera (ergonomics, nice grip design, image stabilization, etc)
  • 4K video
  • Price range between $2,000 and 3,000$
  • Two Nikon mirrorless cameras will most likely be announced together, but still not sure about the combo: one full frame and one APS-C or one low MP (24MP?) and one high MP count (48MP?). At least one full frame mirrorless camera is guaranteed.

Update – here are the rumored specifications:

Updated list of registered Nikon cameras


Some updates on the registered but not yet announced Nikon cameras: two of the upcoming models (N1710 and N1711) will use the Nikon EN-EL15a battery (or equivalent).

A reminder that the EN-EL15a battery is currently used in the Nikon D7500, D7200, D7100, D7000, D850, D810A, D810, D800E, D800, D750, D610, and D500 DSLR cameras.

The assumption here is that the N1710 and N1711 models will be mid to high-end DSLR cameras (D760 and D650?), but it is also possible that Nikon may use the EN-EL15a battery in their new mirrorless camera.

My personal guess is that Nikon will use a new battery specially designed for their mirrorless camera and the N1710 and N1711 will be DSLR cameras (reminder: DSLRs are not dead).

Here is the updated list:
