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

By [NR] admin | Published: July 9, 2018

Nikon Alpha mirrorless camera

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).

The previously reported Nikon mirrorless specifications can be found here:
