Arrival of Nikon mirrorless (finally!)

[Akira]

Introduction has begun...

Wow, flange distance is only 16mm, 2mm less than the a7 series which means lenses of pretty all other mounts can be used

Oh, yes!

By the way, my predictions turned out to be all wrong!

They just mentioned and showed the Noct 58mm f/0.95 (currently being developed), as well as a lens roadmap including numerous 1.8 lenses.

Stepper motors for focusing. Video was mentioned multiple times.

Okay folks, now that any further speculation "here" would make no sense, it seems to be better to lock this thread to move to the one Bjørn started?

Dear administrators, please!

So 55mm wide which our allometry scaling estimates, 3 weeks back, got quite close to :-) Using glimpsed images off the teasers.

This just concluded Live Launch was impressive in so many aspects. Well worth getting up early (2+GMT in my case)!

The technical presentations laid out several poignant statements. Admittedly marketing speak 
No 1 in FF cameras is core goal of Nikon... Pledge to integrate Z and F mount....
The new slogan "Capture Tomorrow" bodes well!

And NOT least - the FTZ adapter supports 380+ F Nikkors

Impressive dare one say.

Amendment - with no screwdriver    FTZ does not support AFD focussing. Only bad news of today's. Hopefully, Nikon will fix this gap

NG's dedicated Z thread has been opened. Better to continue there as we now know the details ....
