Nikon moves production of upcoming Nikon N1622 camera from China to Thailand


A new Nikon N1622 camera with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth was registered with the Indonesian Communications Agency POSTEL back in April last year. The camera was supposed to be produced in China, but a few months later Nikon closed their camera plant in China. The Nikon N1622 camera was never officially announced. Nokishita now reports that the N1622 certification was recently renewed and the camera will be produced in Thailand.

My guess is that the N1622 camera is either the Nikon P900 replacement or the new Nikon mirrorless camera.
