The parents over at Nikon Rumors have been laborious at work maintaining everyone up on what you possibly can count on from Nikon, however in the event you’re like us, you simply don’t have the time to observe rumors day in and time out. So right here’s a roundup of what essentially the most thrilling and believable rumors that ought to give Nikon lovers some concept of what to anticipate within the subsequent couple of months.
Nikon D4s/D4x
Each indication is that there’s certainly a D4 followup within the works. In keeping with NR, manufacturing on the Df was halted for a few months for the only real goal of pushing this digicam earlier than the winter Olympic. Couple that with the truth that NPS Japan not too long ago stopped promoting the D4, and it appears seemingly we’ll see a D4s or D4x earlier than lengthy.
Nonetheless, opposite to previously-reported rumors, NR doesn’t imagine it’ll arrive on January seventeenth. So what is going to?
Nikon D3300
The massive CES reveal, if rumors are to be trusted, would be the Nikon D3300. However wait, says you, CES begins the seventh not the seventeenth. Proper you might be. It appears the January seventeenth date is probably the date that the D3300 will likely be introduced within the Center East and Africa, the remainder of us ought to see it on the seventh.
Lending credence to this rumor is the truth that the Nikon D3200 two-lens equipment is already marked as discontinued on B&H Photograph. Alright, on to mirrorless.
Nikon 1 V3
A redesigned Nikon 1 V3 digicam is nearly definitely on its method, we simply don’t know when it’s going to arrive. It was initially rumored for a CES launch, however sluggish mirrorless gross sales in Europe and the US would possibly entice Nikon to observe Canon’s lead and launch the brand new digicam solely in Asia.
If that’s the case, NR expects the digicam to make landfall, not at CES, however moderately on the CP+ present in February.
Glass
Along with the three cameras above (sorry people, no phrase on the legendary D400) it seems like we’ll be seeing a couple of new lenses from Nikon as nicely.
The long-rumored Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G FX lens and a collapsible 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6G DX lens are each anticipated to reach on the seventh with the D3300. Different rumored lenses — akin to a Nikon 1 10-100mm f/4-5.6 underwater lens for the AW1, a brand new Nikkor AF-S 300mm f/4G and a 16mm fisheye lens — are additionally in all probability on the best way, however no phrase but on after they would possibly arrive.
And that’s about it. NR maintains that there are a couple of point-and-shoots additionally within the works, one in all them doubtlessly sporting a 1-inch sensor to compete with Sony’s RX100II, however these rumors are too imprecise and insubstantial to lend a lot credence to as of but.
After all, this very seemingly isn’t every little thing swirling across the rumor mill, so drop us a line within the feedback to tell us if we forgot one thing or if you wish to give us your tackle the gear listed above.
