Press release:
A reader pointed out to me this paragraph from the just published Canon EOS M review by Dpreview:
Trying to figure out where the EOS M3 fits into the mirrorless landscape is tough. Its closest peers, based on price and features, are the Fujifilm X-A2, Olympus E-M10 II and Sony a6000 (we’re leaving Nikon 1 cameras out of the list, as we believe the series is no longer being developed.)
The new Nikon D3400 DSLR camera could be announced tomorrow (August 17th). For all US readers this could mean that the press release will be published online tonight (Tuesday) around midnight. I received this info from a reliable source who has provided me with correct info in the past.
As previously reported, the Nikon D3400 will come with a 24.2MP sensor, Snapbridge connectivity and an improved “Guide Mode”.
The Nikon ambassador Vincent Versace has also posted several photos taken with the new Nikon AF-S Nikkor 105mm f/1.4E ED lens on his Facebook page. From his own words:
“The sharpest and by far the prettiest bokeh of any lens I have ever shot with.”
“The 105mm F 1.4 has to be the most beautiful lens I have ever shot.”
Update: the photos are also available on flickr.
