Nikon rumored to launch two models without a mirror Full-Frame

The sluggishness of Nikon and Canon to adopt mirror-less technology in their professional cameras is not only a source of embarrassment, but is costing them more and more big chunks of market share. and others have made their models without a mirror very competitive. So it's not a surprise when Nikon announced that it was planning a professional-caliber mirrorless camera body, but a leak reported on Nikon Rumors this week indicates that it could there are two different versions.

Presumed Species for Nikon Pro Mirrorless Models

The flagship model is supposed to support a 45MP or 48MP sensor, while the second model can have 24-25MP. Both models are expected to be similar in size to a Sony A7, but with better grip and better ergonomics. One of the reasons I still photograph Nikon DSLRs is that I greatly like their control layout and their ease of use, so I have no doubt that Nikon can bring something to the party here. In a first for a Nikon pro camera, the units can have a 5-axis image stabilization built into the camera case. I would be curious if this will work in tandem with lens stabilization, or users will have to choose one or the other.

According to rumors, the cameras support 9fps, but without knowing more about the continuous AF and the t go bursts, it is difficult to know globally how the camera will work for the action photographers.

The new lens mount will make or break cameras

As has been reported for a long time, one of the reasons Nikon has been slow to mirrorless is that, unlike Canon, it is imperative to introduce a new lens holder. The new Z media will require new lenses or the use of an adapter. Initially, it is supposed to be three introduced lenses, a 24-70mm, 35mm and 50mm. Unless you have fairly simple needs, it means that you will rely on the adapter most of the time. Anyone currently shooting with professional equipment Nikon has invested thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in F-mount compatible glass. If the move to the new lens mount involves too much hassle, or if the adapter does not work well, it will definitely open the way to other Sony defections.

surprisingly fast, with an announcement at the end of July, and availability in August. However, I do not hold your breath. However, if you are about to buy a professional Nikon DSLR, it might be worth stalling until these cameras are announced. They will not come cheap, though. The high-end model is selling for $ 4000 in a kit that includes the new 24-70mm lens. The low-end model will supposedly be available in a similar kit for $ 3,000
