    Nikon has posted their 5th teaser for the new Z6 and Z7 full frame mirrorless cameras coming this week from Nikon. In this video, the testers for this new system give their first impressions and being a marketing piece, they're obviously all positive.

    3. 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?
    5. Nikon, on 7/25 with the written announcement:

      "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."​

      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.

      Moreover. The only reliable information is that at least two lenses are mountable (assuming the guy doesn't own two exact same lenses).
    8. 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.
    9. That grip looks more CaNikon DSLR than squeeze-it-in Sony and my guess is overall more like the D7200 sorta size.
      yes. already knwon from previous teasers.

      Here is a rumored roadmap for the upcoming Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras and lenses in 2018 to 2019.

      2018:
      2019:
      • Four or five Z-NIKKOR lenses, one or two will be zoom lenses
      • Nikon Z Speedlight
      • Nikon Z booster/grip

    10. The pinching on the LCD looks pathetic (stuttery, laggy), as on most Nikon cameras. I wonder if the LiveView is the same way with high magnification as on older DSLRs.
    13. 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.
    15. 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.

      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.
    19. Wonder what Canon has up its sleeve? Nikon is going all out to deliver exciting bodies, and in a way leaving Canon behind. Though Canon could catch up at any time if they were to leverage outside resources.
