Nikon Announces Development of Next Generation Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera and NIKKOR Lenses—Featuring a New Mount—That Pursue a New Dimension in Optical Performance
MELVILLE, NY – Nikon Inc. is pleased to announce the development of a next-generation full-frame (Nikon FX-format) mirrorless camera and NIKKOR lenses featuring a new mount.

The new mirrorless camera and NIKKOR lenses that are in development will enable a new dimension in optical performance with the adoption of a new mount. The system is the result of Nikon’s unsurpassed optical and manufacturing capabilities gained through more than a century of imaging expertise. Proven reliability and trusted performance are core traits of Nikon Digital-SLRs, and decades of feedback from professional creators around the world has further contributed to the development of this system.


Through the development of this new mirrorless camera, Nikon reaffirms our commitment to providing photographers with the ability to capture images that are richer and more vivid than ever before.


Additionally, an F-Mount adapter is being developed that will enable the use of a wide variety of F-Mount NIKKOR lenses with the new camera.


Nikon will continue to lead imaging innovation with the launch of the new mirrorless camera and the continued development of Nikon Digital-SLR cameras as well as the impressive NIKKOR lens lineup. Soon, Nikon users will have two industry-leading camera systems to choose from, giving consumers the choice to enjoy the unique values that each system offers.

"Nikon reaffirms our commitment to providing photographers with the ability to capture images that are richer and more vivid than ever before."
So, that's it. Nikon has proclaimed that all our current DSLR's are dog meat now. Time to buy a new camera and suffer from a new wave of GAS.

Good for them. About a decade late to the party, but still, they’re moving forward.

Maybe all those jumping to Nikon mirrorless will want to sell their current equipment cheap!! I'm all for that :)

It may be the answer for "what camera system should I take on my trip."

I don't think that your current DSLR's are dog meat but if it is I would be very happy as I can buy them for cheap.

Is this just coincidence or what?

FWIW, on this date in 1917, Nikon Corp had its beginnings with the merger of 3 optical manufacturers in Japan. Happy 101 Birthday, Nikon!

YES, yes I did.

Lots of words here, but they don't really say much of anything. Lots of blah, blah, blah, but reading this doesn't tell me anything I didn't know yesterday from so-called "leaks".

repleo Loc: Boston

Lot of future tense there. Same teaser video with no info. I was just about to scrap all of my Sony gear and start again but I guess I'll have to wait a couple of years.

I agree, they have left it far too late, and Nikon will never get it right the first time!

Since nothing is perfect and everything can be improved upon, did you really want the camera makers to stop in their tracks? The "Whole new ballgame" doesn't really mean that there is anything wrong with the old game. People still enjoy playing Chess, don't they?
