We can also say Nikon is planning to introduce for affordable version of Nikon d500 camera.
Next Big DX camera from Nikon ?
This year we haven’t seen any major announcement from Nikon till now, Or we can also say Nikon doesn’t announced any major product after Nikon D5 and Nikon D500 camera. The Nikon D5600 camera was just an humble replacement to its current series. Adding snapbridge function to the camera doesn’t mean model update and I don’t consider it as a perfect replacement of current Nikon D5500 camera.
Nikon D7300 on Q4 of 2017
Till now we don’t have any confirmation related to the announcement date, but we do believe a big announcement related to DX format camera this year. We can’t say a specific date for now since the 2 years of update cycle time of D7xxx series is almost crossed.
We invite you to join Nikon Rumor group at Facebook where you can discuss a look at the upcoming camera detailed information And latest news.
Earlier it was rumored that Nikon will going to announce a DF like camera on it’s 100th anniversary. But for now it’s look like the rumor was incorrect and completely false. Now according to latest news coming from optyczne.pl we came to know that Nikon will going to announce limited edition of Nikon D500 and Nikon D5 cameras soon.
Only sets of Nikon D5, Nikon D500 and a Pack of High Grade FX lenses will be produce in the name of 100th anniversary. Availability and Price of these products are not known yet.
During an interview to Yahoo Japan Nikon executives said that they will bring multiple mirrorless camera at an early stage. The things to be noted that after extraordinary loss news, this is the first good news we are getting itself from Nikon, more details below…
1. “Bringing in multiple mirroless camera at an early stage”
The line was quoted during the interview, after suffering from heavy loss Nikon is finally realizing it’s mistakes. Nikon is still not making any serious mirrorless solutions for professionals, seasonal or entry level Photographers. However we are the only website who told you Nikon is planning to expand it’s Nikon 1 series Mirrorless camera and soon we will see FF and APS-C Mirrorless from Nikon.
2. Medium and High-End DSLRs
Nikon executives also told during the interview that future Nikon will concentrate on their resources on medium and high-end in DSLR cameras and lenses and mirrorless camera.
Nikon Announce a camera, High-End DPAF Sensor based mirrorless camera in near future. As you can look at the patent we have published here and it clrealy indicates that Nikon is also working on same Dual-pixels CMOS AF tech as of Canon.
What will happen to the current schedule announcement of cameras?
The other things to be noted is Nikon camera business has been re-constructing from inside to out, that clearly indicates that the future of announcement and development is going to be rescheduled. That may create some level of disappointment among Nikon users due to the delay in the regular update cycle of DSLRs.
As we all know that Nikon D750, Nikon D610 and Nikon D810 camera overdue for an update. So, be it will be interesting to see how you can handle the entire situation.
Nikon D850 and Nikon D900 Exif details are surfaced over the web. Keep in mind that the EXIF details can be easily edited with the help of software’s like jHead and ExifTool.
We have two screen shots, the first screen shot information display D850 as camera name and image resolution is 7952 X 5304 = 42177408 pixels (42.2 MP).
And the Second screen grab display out Nikon D900 as camera name and the highest resolution available is 7267X4850 = 35244950 (35.2 MP).
The screen shot with D850 name and a 42.2 MP sensor look bit feasible to me, it might be possible that Nikon had done any secret deal to get the highly acclaimed A7R II sensor. Since, According to our information the 42MP sensor isn’t available for sale to different companies at this moment.
We have received information in the past that Nikon is ready to announce FF DSLR before the APril month, the code name of the DSLR is N1610.
Well they are really honest to accept the current situation they are facing. But this bold step will make a new user to think twice before investing on Camera system.

Expert Onion
Take a look what Tony Northup thinking about the entire situtation
Nikon was delaying those compact camera shipping from past 1 year. Every time they were continuously delaying the camera announcement without any official confirmation. Finally, the BIG BAD news arrived today that Nikon cancelled the release of the DL series camera.
What a sad journey with a bitter end, I do remember the moment when first Nikon DL camera image was leaked.
Initially Nikon said the camera is delayed due to serious issues with the integrated circuit for image processing built into the three new premium compact cameras.
After that we have received multiple reports [see here and here] that Nikon DL is coming, but none of them were true.
Finally Nikon said that they cancelled the DL product announcement. They feel the product has become outdated and due to “profitability concerns” they postponed DL series.
Press Release – Nikon cancelled the release of the DL series camera
Cancellation of release of the DL series of premium compact cameras
February 13, 2017 TOKYO – Nikon Corporation announced today that sales of the long-awaited DL series of premium compact camera, the DL18-50 f/1.8-2.8, DL24-85 f/1.8-2.8, and DL24-500 f/2.8-5.6, will be canceled.
A June, 2016 release was originally planned for the DL series. However, with the identification of issues with the integrated circuit for image processing, release of the three cameras was delayed indeterminately.
Since then, everyone involved has worked very hard to develop products with which our customers will be satisfied. However, it has been decided that sales of the DL series will be canceled due to concerns regarding their profitability considering the increase in development costs, and the drop in the number of expected sales due to the slow-down of the market.
We sincerely apologize to all those affected by this decision, especially those customers who waited so long for the cameras to be released, retailers and others whose business will be affected, for the inconvenience this decision may cause.
