It seams that Nikon is finally decided to join other camera manufacturers (Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung, and Sony) and is currently developing a new mirrorless sub-SLR camera. Back in 2008 Nikon filed a patent for a mirrorless digital camera with interchangeable lens (see picture below). Could it be that by 2012 Nikon will release its version of ultimate APS-C compact. Could it be able to utilize Nikon lenses from it’s bigger brothers? Could Nikon be able to supply it with a small series of compact sized lenses? Could they price it at less than $500 for a kit?
The time will tell. I know I know for sure, if this dream comes true, I will be one of the first people in line.
For now it is still a dream, but Nikon is working on it.To read more about this breaking news, read Bloomberg article here.
