Canon will be announcing the Canon EOS-1D X Mark III today, along with the WFT-E9 file transmitter, which is great for the Canon DSLR shooters.
Nikon, not to be outdone will be announcing a new DSLR, F-mount lens and Z-mount lens ahead of CES.
Nikon will be announcing the following gear:
It's nice to see a major F mount announcement from Nikon, I hope we see similar development for EF in the future.

But let's see first how the price here in Germany will look like incl. VAT.
Depends on IQ, but it looks like it's marketed as a supertele like the newer 200-400.
Here is an image taken with Sigma 120-300/2.8 Sports. Handheld.
Warning: 3.2kg heavy lens.
I bought the lens for AUD$2.200 used. As new. Excellent focusing, etc. nothing wrong with it.
Zooming and handholding at the same time isn’t easy due to weight.
The lens is front heavy.
Requires fine AFMA adjustment.
Focus is snappy.
The 120-300mm f/2.8 zoom is not cheap, but it's a specialised lens.
Quite a different beast of a lens to a 70-200mm f/2.8.
Good and interesting times to be a photographer, in what genre - whatever brand/s of gear we have....
Roll on 2020!
Nice shot! And exactly my point. For $3,000 USD you can get the Sigma lens new. I just don’t see how Nikon can justify the $10,000 price point. They’re putting themselves out of business with this pricing.... not to say Canon isn’t doing a little bit of the same.
thank you.
Canon 200-400/4 x1.4 lens is around the same price what Nikon is asking for their 120-300/2.8.
I would say $10k for the 200-400/4 x1.4 lens is a fair price. I would expect Nikon 120-300/2.8 lens to be priced at around $6500 instead of $10000
Because Nikon cannot satisfy even 500 f/5.6 PF demands after all this time.
