There could be three different models of the Nikon KeyMission camera

Nikon-KeyMission-360-camera
There could be three different types of the Nikon KeyMission camera. One of them will be the “regular” version which we have already seen online. The second one will be a 170° camera and the third will be a 80° model which can be used for chest mounting. I’m still not sure if all three models will be launched simultaneously – my guess is that they will be announced at a later date.

After the Kumamoto earthquakes, the Nikon KeyMission 360 camera was delayed until October, 2016. The US pricing is not yet announced.
