1″ sensor found in the Nikon 1 J5 camera
Some additional information on my post from few days ago – Nikon will announce three new compact cameras with fixed lenses that will have different focal lengths and apertures (something similar to the Sigma dp0-dp4 range of cameras). All three models will have a 1″ sensor (all listed ranges are in 35mm equivalents):
It seems that Nikon’s “We pay your sales tax” promo is back when you buy new Nikon gear from B&H. More details can be found here. A reader just sent me a screenshot of his order where the tax was removed:
More pictures of the Nikon D5 camera leaked on the French forum chassimages.com.
Here is the translation and few more pictures of the D5 viewfinder:
Almost all of the current Nikon rebates/promotions got extended till January 2nd, 2016:
The $200 extra credit on 41 different Nikon cameras and lenses will expire on December 31st (includes the D750, D810, Df cameras, the latest 200-500mm and 300mm f/4 lenses and more).
B&H offers free next day shipping on many items. Check out also the new Sigma lens specials
There is a very good chance that in addition to the D5 in early 2016 we will finally see the long awaited Nikon compact high-end/premium compact camera. I have been reporting for months now that Nikon is working on a new camera(s) with a large/larger sensor (1″ and/or APS-C). More than one version is also a possibility – as many as three different models could be introduce and they could have different lenses (something like the Sigma dp0-dp4 range of cameras maybe? I am not sure). The new camera(s) will be marketed as “always in your bag” and will be targeted for advanced/semi-professional photographers.
There is also a small chance that this rumor is for a new Nikon 1 camera.
The picture on top is a concept Nikon Coolpix camera designed by Nikolay Komaro.
A reader linked in the comments (thanks El Aura) to this dpreview thread that contains a list of all Nikon DSLR cameras and the corresponding sensor manufacturer/designer. I always wanted to create such list for reference, so here it is – feel free to post in the comments section if any of the information listed below is incorrect and I will update:
