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 They feel the product has become outdated and due to “profitability concerns” they postponed DL series.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.

Nikon DL Compact camera buying guide
For everyday shooters ‘Nikon DL 18-50mm is the best for you
If you ask me to choose the best camera among these three, I will pick the Nikon DL 18-50mm model. Why ? Since Nikon DL covers a very vital range that a professional photographer will ever need, gives you super speedy AF experience while delivering intense image quality under a tight and small compact body.
Nikon DL is world’s first compact camera to feature 18mm wide range by having such a large sensor inside it, the camera also touches 50mm range that is sufficient for shooting portraits with creamy background (yep F2.8, tele-end 50mm and a far scenery background will create some bokeh).
Best Camera for Travelographers – Nikon DL 24-500mm
The Nikon DL covers a very vast range and comes in big size tat will not going to fit inside your pocket, however despite of being big size the camera gives you class leading image quality, Blazing fast AF speed and a option to create 4K video on the go. A superb camera.. Believe me.
The Nikon DL 24-58mm camera – Best Pal for entry-level photographers
If you take very less wide-angle shots than 24-85mm camera is best for you. The DL 24-85mm will give you bit more zoom range while cutting out the wide range, however you can capture wide-angle family and friends shots 🙂 but you will feel limited when you will shoot landscape or architecture with DL 24-58mm camera.
