Let’s talk about the list of possible Nikon DSLR and Mirrorless that may arrive in the year of 2020. We do have lots of patent related to Nikon upcoming cameras, which clearly shows off Nikon is working on advance camera technologies to bring out more better user experience and make cameras more intelligent as well as better than ever. Not only that, we have also seen a patent where Nikon engineers are working on biometric system to be merged with camera and lens controls. On Sep of 2018 Nikon introduce Nikon z6 & z7 full frame mirrorless camera and on 2019 Nikon announced Niko z50 DX format mirrorless camera and all of them were very impressive. Unfortunately, the market share of Nikon mirrorless system cameras are not as good as Sony or Canon, but we do believe that in the upcoming years, Nikon will become one of the largest mirrorless makers of the world.
We do know that Nikon is concentrating in the development and announcement of mirrorless system cameras from past 1 year. They are in the the path of DSLR cannibalization as of Canon. And being a Nikon user it’s better to go with Nikon mirrorless cameras instead of DSLR. Since, we all know that Nikon z Mount is future mount.
