It is safe to say that for the longest time ever, Sony has been hugely successful with their mirrorless cameras. They were the first to launch a full-frame mirrorless camera which has sat very well with professionals, so much so that there are more than a few who have since dumped their DSLRs in favor of these full-frame mirrorless cameras.
Nikon has been teasing the upcoming announcement for their new mirrorless cameras which is set for an official reveal on the 23rd of August. In terms of branding, it is unclear as to what Nikon could be calling these new devices, but according to Nikon Rumors, some potential names have been revealed.
The problem with most flagship products is that generally speaking they aren’t cheap. The same can be said for flagship cameras which are usually priced rather high, such as the Fujifilm X-T2 which is priced at $1,600. However the good news for those looking to jump into Fujifilm’s system, the rumored X-T3 could actually be cheaper.
A few days ago, photos surfaced which seemed to show off Nikon’s upcoming mirrorless camera. It was hard to see the details in the camera, but from what we could tell based on the model holding the device, it seems to be slightly larger compared to other mirrorless cameras, although admittedly this could have simply been a matter of perspective.
Nikon will be announcing a new mirrorless camera on the 23rd of August. However it seems that Nikon’s chief rival, Canon, might not be sitting idly by because according to a report from Mirrorless Rumors, Canon is expected to make their own announcement shortly after on either the 4th or 5th of September (depending on your timezone).
Companies such as Sony have been making a name for themselves by launching mirrorless cameras with full-frame sensors. It would stand to reason that the competition might want to do the same in order to stay competitive, something that Nikon is rumored to be doing. However Fujifilm on the other hand has chosen not to.
Come 23rd of August, Nikon will be officially unveiling their new mirrorless camera. Not much is known about the camera save for rumors, but the company has been slowly teasing its reveal. Now Nikon is back with yet another teaser that has been simply titled “Mount”, leading to speculation that the upcoming camera could be utilizing a new lens mount.
According to the latest rumors from back in April, Fujifilm is expected to launch a successor to the X-T2 in 2019 in the form of the X-T3 which is expected to be announced at Photokina 2019. This means that it will be much later in 2019 before we see the camera (if at all), but it hasn’t stopped the rumors from spreading.
In a recent teaser video uploaded by Nikon, it seemed to hint that the company could have a new mirrorless camera in the works. This doesn’t come as a surprise as we have been hearing such rumors for a while now. For fans of Nikon who are hoping to see better mirrorless cameras from the company, it seems that the rumors are true.
