Nikon announces new full-frame mirrorless camera

Fresh from the press: Nikon has developed a new full-frame mirrorless camera and aims to have it on the market by spring 2019.

NikonEye picked up the confirmation in an interview conducted by Japanese television network NHK with a Nikon manager.

Development is under way and we expect it to be brought to market next spring, says the manager.

NikonEye predicts that the first camera to be announced will be an entry-level full-frame mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses.

This camera will feature a 30+ megapixel phase-detection sensor and a new lens mount that will allow existing F-mount lenses to focus using an adapter.

A Sony executive predicted last month that both Canon and Nikon would release full-frame mirrorless cameras within a year.

This month, a Japanese news outlet reported that development of Nikon's professional mirrorless camera is progressing at a very fast pace and that the launch will probably take place around March 2019.

At present, apart from Leica, Sony is actually the only major player in the market for mirrorless cameras with a full-frame sensor. Canon has not yet released a full-frame mirrorless camera with an electronic viewfinder either.

Canon is reportedly now prepared to produce fewer SLR cameras, allowing the company to focus fully on mirrorless cameras. Canon does already have mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses, such as the EOS M5, but these have APS-C sensors.

Nikon has previously released a mirrorless camera with a 1-inch sensor and interchangeable lenses, the Nikon 1.

Fuji heeft een middenformaat zoals Hasselblad, een full frame heeft voor en nadelen, Fuji heeft gekozen voor aps-c.
De kwaliteit van de foto is gelijk, of je full frame of aps-c.
De sensor van Fuji is zelfs superieur.

Leuk Leica/Fuji design heeft deze camera.

Wat betreft apsc of fullframe, ik had hiervoor de fuji xpro1 maar moet zeggen de leica M die ik nu heb de apsc dik overtreft.

Yannick, je zegt iets zonder één argument.
Ik heb de Nikon D800 gehad (full frame), en die heb ik met alle dikke lenzen ingeruild voor een Fuji X-Pro1. Toen al waren mijn foto’s (aps-c) niet minder dan van de Nikon met full frame.
Nu heb ik een X-Pro2. Ik heb mijn D800 niet één moment gemist, en de voordelen van spiegelloos maken het fotograferen veel leuker.
Ik kan dus goed vergelijken met de foto’s die ik eerder full frame maakte. Maar kijk eens naar vergelijkingen!
Hier is er een:

Hier wordt niet zómaar iets gezegd, je leest ook argumenten, verklaringen, en voorbeeldfoto’s.
Het is gemakkelijk om zomaar iets te roepen, maar beter is het om je te orienteren.

@richard. Ik heb zowel de D800, leica M en heb de xpro1 gehad. Dus ik weet waar ik over spreek en dat is dat er niks boven FF gaat of Middenformaat
