Big Nikon KeyMission cameras price drop in Europe

By [NR] admin | Published: March 1, 2018


As I reported a few days ago, the price of Nikon KeyMission cameras dropped in the UK (Amazon UK has not updated their pricing yet):

It seems that there is also a price drop in Germany. Media Markt and Saturn (which were exclusive partners at the launch of KeyMission) just lowered the prices by 50% for some models:

  • Nikon KeyMission 80: €149 (was 299€)
  • Nikon KeyMission 170: €199€ (was 399€)
  • Nikon KeyMission 360: €249€ (was 499€)

In the US only the Nikon KeyMission 170 is currently $53 (13%) off.

Lexar, on the other hand, is currently producing XQD cards:


All Lexar XQD memory cards are currently out of stock.
All Sony XQD memory cards are currently in stock.

Nikon did not announce a new mirrorless camera at the 2018 CP+ show in Japan

By [NR] admin | Published: March 1, 2018


The 2018 CP+ show started today in Japan and Nikon has nothing new to show at their booth. Obviously, all previous “rumors” about the “imminent” release of the new Nikon mirrorless camera together with new Sigma lenses designed for the new Nikon mirrorless camera were completely wrong. We are also still waiting to see the results of Nikon buying Samsung’s camera division and for some reason, we are still missing those “rumored” investments from Fuji. I am sure everything will be good once the “Sony buys Nikon” rumor comes true.
