Sony impressed many photographers when they launched the Sony A7-series of full-frame mirrorless cameras. This was impressive as prior to this, there were no full-frame mirrorless cameras in the market yet, making Sony the first to arrive. However it seems that Sony’s rivals will not be letting Sony sit on that throne for too long as word from Nikon Rumors claims that Nikon has a similar camera of their own.Yup, you read that right, Nikon is said to be developing a full-frame mirrorless camera system of their own. At the moment the company has a mirrorless lineup which hasn’t really done much to impress the critics, so hopefully this will change things. According to Nikon Rumors, the camera is said to be about the size of the Olympus E-M1.
It will not sport an EVF and will feature a regular F-mount. The camera is also in the late development stages as Nikon is said to be field testing it at the moment, and assuming all goes well, could be ready for an official announcement towards the later part of the year or early 2016. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of Nikon’s plans for a mirrorless.
Last year a patent was filed by Nikon which was for a full-frame mirrorless lens. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but if you’re a Nikon fan then this rumored camera might be worth keeping an eye out for.
