This is how the back of the Nikon mirrorless camera looks


The new Nikon mirrorless camera is already out in the field and I have already received the first drawing from a person who has used/seen/tested the camera.

As you can see from the sketch, the back layout is similar to most Nikon DSLR cameras with the exception that there are no buttons/controls on the left side of the screen. The screen itself looks pretty big and there is also a comfortable/ergonomic thumbrest in the upper right corner.

Update – here is a visual of the back of the camera created by a reader (© oldfashioned_aj):

Continuous coverage of the Nikon mirrorless camera


Disqus is already messed up in the last post due to the increased amount of traffic and the large number of comments on NikonRumors, so I am opening a new thread here in order to continue our conversation.
