Nikon High-End Compact Coming this Month

Nikon High End Compacts coming in FEB image

Nikon high-end compact cameras finally coming on CP+ show at February 2016.  According to latest rumors floating over the rumor websites the Nikon will soon announce three new compact camera with large sensors.

As we have published earlier also that Nikon coolpix range update is dead from almost 2 years so Nikon desprertly need to put a life in Nikon high*end compact series camera.

The Nikon P78000 was the last compact camera with 1/1.7inch sensor, we do expect a Nikon P8000 soon with large 1″ sensor and high end specification that matches the Sony RX100 and Canon GX series compact cameras with 1″ sensor.

Nikon coolpix A II update is also expected and at the mean time we do belive that Nikon will announce a new APS-C based compact camera with 24 Megapixel CMOS APS-C sensor and high end image processor.

Nikon may announce a completely new range of compact cameras with different names as Canon did a year ago and introduced new GX series line-up, Sony also announced new high-end compact series starting with RX keywords.

Based on latest rumor Nikon will announce at least two new latest models in the upcoming CP+ show in Japan (February 25-28).

Take a look at the list of expected core specification and cameras models

  • New line of premium compact cameras with a new name (not Coolpix for sure)
  • 1″ sensor, but some models may have APS-C and even full frame (maybe in the future?)
  • Nikkor branded non-interchangeable lenses. The first three versions will be (35mm equivalent focal lengths):
    • Wide angle version: 18-50mm f/1.8-2.8
    • Normal range: 24-85mm f/1.8-2.8 (see lens patent here)
    • Superzoom: 24-500mm f/2.8-5.6
  • Compatible with Nikon Speedlights (cameras will have hot shoe)
  • Optional/external EVF
  • Wide range of accessories will be available
  • The new product line will be marketed as “always in your bag” and will be targeting advanced/semi-professional photographers

Why do believe the rumor we have received is true because Few months ago an interview to mobile01.com Nikon representatives said

Q: Any new Coolpix A? Any plans to respond to Canon and Sony’s 1-inch sensor fixed-lens compact cameras?
A: Sony’s 1-inch CSC is definitely very successful. We will have a competing product in the future.

 From the specification comparison table we can see that

 

The Fuji X-Pro 2 camera features more bigger sensor and bit extra resolution over the Olympus PEN F,  the other advantage of the X-Pro 2 camera is X-Trans architecture based sensor that completely eliminates the need Low pass filter.

sensor-size-mirrorlessAs you can see in the sensor size difference, the Olympus PEN F features 4/3 sensor on the other side the Fuji X-Pro 2 camera features APS-C sensor, so without doubt we will see more details in Fuji X-Pro 2 images.

2AXIS-IS-versus-5AXIS-IS_enThe 5 axis image stabilization system used in Olympus reduces the camera shake upto 5 stops, the camera doesn’t need IS based lenses and on the other side we have Fuji that doesn’t feature built in IS, the IS depend upon the type of lenses used.

The AF system of Fuji is advance compared to the Olympus, due to the help of X-Trans tech the Fuji enjoys the Hybrid CMOS AF and lock down AF in a min speed of 0.06 sec only, on the other side we have PEN -F that limited to contrast based AF system only.

Video recording is almost same, both the camera limited to full HD video recording and doesn’t support 4K. It’s really strange to ss a $1K range mirrorless cameras announced in 2016 and remains limited to Full HD mode only.

AT ISO 3200 Olympus PEM -F fails to pick the minor details of the image and the Low-Pass filter less Fuji showing intense amount of details with excellent color and contrast output.

At ISO 25600 Fuji showing excellent color, contrast and details compared to Olympus PEN-F camera.
