Only three new Nikon KeyMission action cameras will be announced today

A quick last minute update: today Nikon will introduce only the three new KeyMission action cameras and nothing else – no new cameras and no new lenses.

I expect Nikon to have another announcement before the end of the year – maybe for the PhotoPlus show in October.

nikon-df-listed-as-discontinued
I am not sure if this is a mistake, but the Nikon Df camera is listed as discontinued at BuyDig (an authorized US dealer). All Df versions seems to be in stock at other retailers.

This lens patent could be for the Nikon Coolpix P900 camera replacement

nikon-lens-patent-for-78x-zoom
Nikon has a new patent for a 4.3-357mm f/2-6.5 VR lens designed for cameras equipped with 1/2.3″ sensor (24-2000mm equivalent).
