What have you always dreamed of in a mirrorless camera? Full-frame? Class-leading optics? The Nikon name emblazoned on top? Your dreams may be answered soon because Nikon has used its 101st birthday to announce the development of its own full-frame mirrorless camera system officially, complete with a new, currently unnamed mount and fresh NIKKOR glass.
Designed from the ground up, the Nikon mirrorless will feature a brand-new mount, one that Nikon claims opens the door for groundbreaking optical opportunities. As a company with more than a century of experience in this field, it will be interesting to see how the new NIKKOR lenses make use of this system and what distinct advantages they might deliver over other systems.
For existing Nikon users with NIKKOR lenses, Nikon is also developing a mount adapter that will enable the use of a wide variety of F-Mount NIKKOR lenses with the new camera.
Last year, Nikon announced the D850, a class-leading DSLR that we absolutely loved during our time reviewing it. Even today, it has remained as immensely popular as it was at the time of its launch. Taking this experience forward, we are excited to see what Nikon will bring to the market in the mirrorless category.
While it has announced the development of a mirrorless camera, the company has also reaffirmed its commitment to continuing to bringing DSLRs to market, providing photographers with even more choice when it comes to their imaging tools.
