Nikon’s president confirms new mirrorless camera in an interview

This is what I would like this camera to be.

It should be big, bulky and heavy to eliminate camera shake, but at the same time it should be small, slim and light to fit in my front pocket.

It should be crop sensor for my bird shots but also Full frame for my landscape shooting needs.

It should have the focusing ability of the D750, and the tracking ability of the D500.

The EVF should be big and bright and look just like if it had a mirror. BTW.....It should also have mirror , even though it's a mirrorless.

I don't want any video capabilities, since I don't take videos except for that one time in the future when I wish I had it. So I need it to have a detachable video which I could detach and return it for a partial refund, after I get done with it that one time.


I would like this camera to cost under a thousand dollars, and six months later to be able to get a refurb for 500 dollars.

I also want to use any lens with this camera. Not just Nikon, but every other brand. Even a Canon lens if I wish.

I also reserve the right to ask for other things as I think of them.

I'd like to see an upgraded version of the Coolpix A quality with a viewfinder. Slightly bigger, but still pocketable. Perhaps go retro as Fujifilm and Olympus have.

I have a sneaky feeling the latest lens revamps have been to make them more compatible with a high speed mirrorless,not that i need or want faster than my D500,hell i have turned it down to 5fps for most things.

Mike, you need to leave it a 10/second because it SOUNDS SO COOL. :)

If Nikon makes this new mirrorless to use it's current lens lineup, great. If not, I can't see myself being interested. At all...

Unless I win the lottery.

The logical step would be to launch a new camera with a few lenses and access to the existing lens range, we are talking Nikon though,

The thing that is holding Sony's mirrorless SLRs back for many people is the small number of lenses offered. Nikon has always had the SLR advantage of having a huge catalog of lenses available. Just sayin'...

I'm sure they design an adapter for existing lenses like they did for the Nikon 1 line. My 70-200 f4 worked great on the V2 with the adapter. It would be a huge blunder otherwise, although they would probably begin a new line of native lenses to go with it.

Just the word adapter puts folk off with so many crap adapters on the market, most have not had experience of a good adapter like the FT-1.

LOL. I would need to sell a car to fund that one!

No kidding.

Honestly hope N does that somewhat Df and Fuji route with control dials for all key settings and maybe, just likely not maybe, a hybrid OVF. It's one thing aside from lack of color noise that keeps me with Fuji X-Pro line because the battery life out of OVF is superb unlike most other MLs since forever.
