Nikon P1000 camera is coming in 2018. Before we move further let me tell you the N1622 is Nikon P1000 (Nikon P900 successor).
Why delayed ?, OK at the moment we are not having any official words from Nikon.
But, all of us know that Nikon closed its compact camera manufacturing unit in China due to financial crises [dpreview]. According to one of the trusted source after the shut down the development of all compacts camera postponed for undefined period of time.
But now we have a good news, We got confirmation from trusted Japanese sources that Nikon P900 successor manufacturing will be done in Thailand.
Nikon P1000 production unit is now shifted to Thailand
So, at the end we can expect the arrival of the Nikon P1000 camera in 2018. If we look at previous rumors, the camera is said to feature 125X optical zoom Lens [take with a grain of salt].
Earlier we have posted that Nikon isn’t attending the CES 2018 event. But, Thanks to Thom Hogan and Doug Who told us that Nikon is attending the CES 2018 Event.
Why the confusion was occurred ? Since, Nikon isn’t listed any “official” CES press conference schedule, and that’s why we thought Nikon isn’t attending. But, they are coming and as Thom said “Companies don’t always list their press conferences there because they want to limit the press to their own specific contacts, not the broader CES ones. Thus, you can’t even say that Nikon won’t have a new product at CES. Indeed, it’s likely that they will (e.g. Coolpix P900 followup).”
At the moment we don’t know what actually coming at CES show, May be Nikon P1000 🙂 Well, Nikon have lot’s of announcement overdue, that includes Nikon D650, Nikon P1000, Nikon D760 and Nikon D5s. So, we have to wait and watch.
