After the previously rumored Coolpix P1000 camera and Nikkor AF-S 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR lens were officially announced, here is an updated list of what to expect next from Nikon – there are still 4 already registered but not-yet-announced Nikon cameras (see previous “what to expect posts” here):
Nikon Coolpix P1000 camera (pre-order here) additional coverage – first, check out this insane P1000 125x zoom video test where you can see the light pole on top of that tall building:

This is how the 125x extended zoom lens looks like:
Nikon Coolpix P1000 – what you need to know (dpreview):
Nikon P1000 first look video by B&H:
Nikon D5 sensor wired up to a special harness to allow measurement of the signals going to and from the chip
Nikon flare-testing setup
This machine tests how microlenses respond to light coming from different angles
A precision RGB light source is used to make sure that the color filters on the sensor are doing their job
Imaging Resource published a new article about Nikon’s super-secret sensor design lab. Here are three videos on how Nikon sensor testing is performed (check out the original article – it contains a lot of information):
After the Nikon 1 cameras were officially discontinued last week, there are some signs that the KeyMission line could be discontinued next:
All three KeyMission camera models are currently in stock at B&H and Adorama without any major price drops.
A quick clarification on my last post – as the title suggested “One week away from the RUMORED new Nikon full-frame mirrorless camera announcement” I want to emphasize that the July 23rd date is just one of the rumored details I have reported about the upcoming Nikon mirrorless camera. I already noticed several websites reporting this rumor as a fact. I have not seen the usual signs that precede a typical Nikon announcement and I am not sure if the official announcement will take place next week.
I will repeat what I already said about the announcement date in my blog post from July 4th:
We are one week away from the rumored new Nikon full-frame mirrorless camera announcement. I have received some new pricing information, this time from Europe (I assume the prices are for a lens kit):
One possible (rumored) scenario is that 45MP Nikon mirrorless full-frame camera will be announced first (at the end of July) while the second 24MP Nikon mirrorless full-frame camera could be announced at Photokina. The shipping of at least one of the new Nikon mirrorless full-frame cameras is rumored to start at the end of August or in early September.
The upcoming mirrorless full-frame camera is rumored to be the most expensive Nikon marketing campaign ever with bloggers meetups in exotic locations and maybe even some celebrities involvement.
Here is a recap of the already rumored Nikon mirrorless full-frame camera details:
