In particular, the 50mm f/1.8 S and 85mm f/1.8 S were discussed. Launch by press release. Which really just leaves the D500 and D850 to be addressed. (One reason why the Z50 and the two DX lenses were "easy" surprises is that the Z50 was actually one of those cameras I was tracking in development and basing my prediction on. They're (somewhat) okay with a smaller market if it means close to the same number of dollars.What many refer to as my "negative period" tends to be from 2010 to 2015 or so, when Nikon was—in my strong opinion—making a A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article about how many Z cameras Nikon has sold, Full frame volume has to be something less than 500k units in the current environment, so that's a lot of categories and competition trying to play in a small space. Nikon seems to think that they'll be one of the winners solely on how good their product is—and yes, it's good; engineering is not a Nikon liability—and the fact that they were one of the winners in the past. Stay tuned for more info. For 2021 we should get:The Z5 is a lot like the Z6, but there are subtle changes, as there always are with Nikon between models. For once it stays focused on the user benefits of the product. It's because of how they treat their product lines publicly and in particular, how they don't interact with customers, existing or potential.

Lower cost, higher margin, get it?

And these complaints aren't usually timidly stated: (1) The FTZ is an insult and FUBAR because it won't autofocus screw-drive lenses; and (2) We didn't need a new mount and Nikon should have never "abandoned" the F mount.Let's start with "sophisticated APS-C camera." When you have an issue, you need to address it directly, and I'd say that NikonUSA has had some real issues for some time now that are only getting worse. Now let's hope that things settle down a bit with the pandemic so that we can work back towards using all these great new products.First of all, I know another was prototyped and tested. A new patent registration has revealed the design of another upcoming Nikon Z-series camera, which could be the Nikon Z8 or Nikon Z9 – but seems likelier to be the former. I'm pretty sure there isn't a survey that says "Z6 users don't want 5:4 but Z7 users do.

Nintendo confirms it’s working on a new console Facebook unveils the Oculus Quest 2 VR headset The best computer reading glasses to help reduce eye strain In addition, the lens offers superior resolution from the center of the frame to the edges, permitting users to frame their subject in the way that best suits their intent. But it sort of skips a step with "Your full frame mirrorless journey starts here." We still have remnants of that problem today, in particular in three areas: prioritization of product (particularly accessories, but the issue is also more broadly systemic), marketing messaging, and customer interaction.Now for the thing that hasn't been written about elsewhere. Can I copy the eBook file to my other computers?My personal conclusion from looking at the numbers I have available to me is that Nikon did pretty well with mirrorless in 2019, and has done really well with the Z6/Z7 twins. We've seen Nikon suddenly get chatty before (the D3/D300 twinnage was the last really great example of that).

Just removing the mirror mechanism from a DSLR and leaving the old mount—which you might recall was the most limiting in terms of optical design of all the SLR/DSLR mounts—would leave you with a large snout of a camera.

$1,396.95.

It's even unclear to me if Nikon (subsidiaries, corporate, engineering, whatever) actually gets any joy from the things we customers do with their equipment. Canon and Sony raised the bar with their R5/R6 and A7S Mark III announcements, and both are trying to engage their customers more through other efforts.

Long lead products, such as lenses, are doing better than the shorter ones.

 In games like soccer and ice hockey, the thing you never want to do is score an "own goal." Probably not, because they are, at least to date, not Z-specific.
