Only three new Nikon KeyMission action cameras will be announced today

By [NR] admin | Published: September 19, 2016

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.

I expect a new “Df-like” camera to be announced for Nikon’s 100th anniversary in 2017.
