Nikon Mirrorless: Photographers give their first impressions on the new mirrorless system
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I know right?!? Crazy how Sony is smashing the rest of the staples for years now with such useless gear...

Ok, they say ' so lightweight'. The camera will obviously be only slightly lighter without the mirror, so I deduce the new lenses are lighter too, which leads us to an inevitable conclusion the new mount lenses are all plastic. Did I miss anything?

Nikon, on 7/25 with the written announcement:
Now, with this video:
I totally thought he said 'all your F mount lenses', but the verbiage above implies that all the F mount glass that he happens to own just happens to qualify for use with this adaptor.
Sneaky, Nikon, sneaky.

"Additionally, an F-Mount adapter is being developed that will enable the use of a wide variety of F-Mount NIKKOR lenses with the new camera."
Now, with this video:
"You can use all my F mount lenses on this new camera."

Moreover. The only reliable information is that at least two lenses are mountable (assuming the guy doesn't own two exact same lenses).

I'm not remotely interested in buying one but very interested in the announcement. I'm actually cheering for Nikon a bit. I guess the better their camera is, the harder Canon will have to push on future cameras. Also this looks way more interesting to me than the Sony releases.

I'm cheering Nikon on, even as a Canon user, because competition is a great thing for many reasons. Sony has been kicking hard the last few years. Nikon has started to kick back (D850, etc), and we're all hoping that Canon joins the fight. I hope the next month is exciting across the board.

Here's a still Petapixel reported from the video (yet I don't see this shot anywhere in the video):
I can only presume this guy has fairly large hands because this shot runs largely against th grain of a host of mockups/layouts that would imply that this camera is not dramatically smaller than their SLRs.
It's a limited look, but the size/shape of the lens looks more like a 100 f/2.8 than the fast prime or zooms we've seen. Truly curiously to see how much glass they launch with.

That's Brandon Woelfel - though I'm not sure I can help you with his hand size.Here's a still Petapixel reported from the video (yet I don't see this shot anywhere in the video):

I thought, based on every marketing image of the camera I've seen, the camera looks somewhat small. Initially I remember there were a lot of comments about how large the EVF looked in leaked images, but I suspect the EVF is normal sized and everything else was small. Also, I think there were already some rumours on the launch lenses: "24-70mm f/4 zoom, a 50mm f/1.8 prime, and a wide angle lens (possibly a 24mm, 28mm, or 35mm with an aperture of f/1.8" . This other link also shows a few people holding the camera - it looks to me that everyone holding it also suffers from Sony's "I don't have enough room for my pinky" syndrome.
Also, I think they also noted that they're releasing 2 cameras - who's to say we're not seeing images from more than one upcoming release? I guess we'll know more by the end of the week.

Great stuff from Nikon so far. Let's hope Canon can do something to blow us away. I have my doubts but I remain hopeful.
