Nikon has announced the development of the D6. This professional full-frame DSLR is set to become Nikon's new flagship. The arrival of the AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR telephoto zoom lens has also been announced. It is compatible with Nikon's FX-format cameras.
Nikon D6
The development of the D6, Nikon's most advanced digital SLR to date, marks the 20th anniversary of the single-digit D series. Nikon has not released any further details, such as which sensor it will have, whether it will have stabilisation or what its video capabilities will be.
These will be announced at a later date. The camera will probably be released before next year's Summer Olympics.
The D6 will most likely be extremely fast, just like its predecessor, the Nikon D5, making it very suitable for sports, wildlife and action photography. The D5 can take photos at up to 12fps for this purpose, or 14fps without autofocus.
The D5 also has an autofocus system with 153 focus points, 99 of which are cross-type. This camera was later further developed into the Nikon D850 and the D500.
There are rumours that the D6 will have two CFexpress memory card slots, allowing for an almost limitless buffer. The CFexpress 2.0 standard already offers read speeds of up to 1,700 megabytes per second and write speeds of up to 1,400 megabytes per second.
AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR
Nikon has also announced the development of the new AF-S NIKKOR 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR lens for full-frame cameras. It is a fast lens, particularly suitable for professionals who want or need to capture fast-moving subjects or sports.
No details about this lens are known yet either. Nikon says that more information, such as the price and when it will be available in shops, will be revealed at a later date.
