Nikon Mirrorless FF Discussions/News/Rumors

"Countless rays of light come together, forming an image at the end of their long journey. Nikon’s ongoing mission heading into the future: to guide light into forming superb pictures."

1) I guess the prism-like colour separation is part of Nikon's long Journey?
2) That mount looks huge or is the camera very small?
3) Will Nikon be able to compete with the technology powerhouses Canon and Sony?

I think someone's been watching too many Star Trek movies: Some less complimentary responses could well be:

"It's a Camera Jim, but not as we know it"
"To Boldly go where no Camera Maker has gone before"
"You canie change the laws of physics, Nikon!"

Good luck to them though; seems they have blown a significant sum of money on pre-marketing so they must be confident of what they have.

I know there's a lot of speculation about a Nikon FF mirrorless but somehow I have difficulty to see this video as a teaser for that. No hint (that I see) to a new mirrorless body in there.

I would like them to come out with a good FF mirrorless body since competition is good for us as consumers.

I'll be looking forward to how much they have "learned" from their J1/V1 adventure as well as from thoroughly analysing the competitive offers.

I can't see the pictures you linked in the youtube video, probably a different contrast or too dark

I wonder what the advantages of an illuminated mount are

Yes, after seeing them I can see where they are taken from the video, however when playing the video I can't see that much detail.

Canon has found a better way to implement that

There is a daylight picture on Nikon rumors of a woman with an unidentified camera to her eye, but it looks like it might be the one from the video... No pop up flash - I was trying to think what the 'hump' reminded me of and I think it may be of the Second generation Minolta 110 SLR.

Looks to be about the same size as an a7iii but with an extended grip (a bit like the Minolta 7000i?) and probably has a top-plate LCD as there don't seem to be any dials up there...

I would describe the look as 'unconventional' but looks aren't everything and I'm sure people will get used to it.

waiting with baited breath, quite possible if its any good all my Sony gear will be going....

For this camera to succeed, it completely depends on how good it adapts their DSLR glass.
