full frame mirrorless nikon?

I guess it was only a matter of time and I suspect it will be very good.
 
I love the first response in the discussion section.

I agree with Keith, this could be a knockout -if the above response is adhered to.
 
I have to guess Nikon is jumping over APS up to "FF" because the APS mirrorless marketplace has very well established (entrenched ?) players at ths point.

It's a turbulent marketplace for sure.
 
I hope the prices will be less than the average full frame affair, I went to Best Buy
the other day and saw all the full frames cameras, the prices were close to 2K and
over that's a lot of money if you don't use cameras that often plus every two years
or so gets upgraded. I think it's good for Nikon to expand their line to other choices.

Mirrorless cameras with good EVFs are a way for Nikon (and other manufacturers) to maintain profit margins in a shrinking market. The V-series were a way to trial the technology and manufacturing processes so hopefully they will learn from that and get it right - particularly in the user interface.

Lots of analysis of Nikon's market performance and strategy on Thom's site http://www.dslrbodies.com/newsviews/and-the-final-group-waiters.html
 
if this proves to be true i assume canon will join the race as well...i wonder if/how it might impact fuji?
the pic of the nikon looks very rf'ish...
 
There is also a canon ff mirrorless rumor out there as well.

Canon already has the eos m (apsc) and Nikon has the Nikon one (1 inch) as starting points into mirrorless.. It will be interesting to c how they will have applied lessons learned into a ff mirrorless camera or if either will continue to do a half-hearted job to protect their dslr sales.

This looks like a Giant step, if it's true.
Aside from a whole new array of mirrorless lens designs (imagine! - would they start from their old RF lens designs??), they cannot abandon the zillions of "FF" Nikkor AF lenses out there. Must design adapter(s) to give full functionality of older auto-everything SLR lenses to the new bodies. If not, pros who are committed to their lens collection won't buy into the new bodies (I don't think).

Hope they do their homework - customer (professionals) needs and desires surveys, etc etc

Kind of a big step for them (and Canon).

Did they miss the bus?
 
I tend to trust Nikon most of the time. I look forward to seeing what they come up with. I'm also quite certain that within not too long a time, a "mirrorless" camera of one sort or another will be the standard, with SLR and RF types being relegated to niches. The predominance of SLRs as the standard fare of "serious amateurs and pros" has a bit to run yet, but I believe that there is change in the wind.

Nikon already designed an dslr af adapter for their Nikon One.. Would make sense to do the same for their new mirrorless.. Canon did the same for their eos m if I remember correctly.

A thought on this...

It seems like OIS/IBIS along with some other psoosible system to stabailze the EVF view will need to become standard to really have a mirrorless replace DSLR's.
Maybe I just have had bad experiences with EVF's to date but... there is a real shortcoming with regard to image stability in the evf when the FOV becomes narrower and more distant (longer Focal lengths).

The jiggly EVF when using Long lenses is near impossible to use for any sort of action.
It's difficult enough with an optical finder that does not need to refresh.

Canon and Nikon make a big hunk of their dough with pro-sports photographers.
My imagination is not so good trying to envision those folks dealing with EVF's in mirrorless systems.

Where do you base your optimism on?
If it is good, it will hurt Sony, but if it is anything like the Canon EOS M - well, it won't be that good. We have to wait and see.
