What if the Nikon D3400 gets replaced by a mirrorless APS-C camera with F-mount?

By [NR] admin | Published: August 20, 2018


I have now received tips from two different sources about a potential Nikon D3400 camera replacement coming soon. Here is the previous D3xxx refresh timeline:

  • The Nikon D3400 was announced in August 2016
  • The Nikon D3300 was announced in January 2014
  • The Nikon D3200 was announced in April 2012

We already have a new Nikon camera registered under the code name N1718 that is expected to have the same radio part as the D3400 with only Bluetooth (no Wi-Fi).

This is where it gets interesting – one tipster suggested that the new Nikon D3500 (D3600?) will be announced around Photokina and it will have a grip similar to the D5500/D5600. Another tipster told me today that the Nikon D3400 will be replaced by a mirrorless camera with F-mount – something like the Pentax K-01 from 2012 (see pictures above). There could be several benefits for Nikon if that last rumor about a cheap mirrorless camera with F-mount is true:
