I already started receiving small bits and pieces about the new Nikon mirrorless camera and here is the recap (old and new info combined):
- The official announcement of the new Nikon mirrorless camera is rumored for shortly before Photokina while shipping is expected to start a month after Photokina (there were already multiple reports for an announcement in the second half of 2018, see also this and this post)
- The new Nikon mirrorless camera will definitely be on display at Photokina in September
- One new camera and two new lenses will be announced first (for Photokina) with another batch of lenses following shortly after (4-6 months after Photokina)
- I was told that Nikon is currently developing a large number of new mirrorless lenses and this is a priority
- The most likely scenario is for a full frame mirrorless camera first (APS-C model will probably follow later, but I am still not sure about that)
- New Nikon mirrorless Z-mount – confirmed by multiple sources (could still be called something else)
- Nikon is putting a lot of R&D in the viewfinder
- Very sophisticated new F-mount adapter – also confirmed by multiple sources
- Two electric AF motors (no new info)
