Nikon’s biggest news of last year was the arrival of its full-frame mirrorless camera system – and the announcement of the the Nikon Z6 and Nikon Z7 cameras to kick off this new dynasty. 

Interestingly, Nikon had already announced the end of its 1 series of APS-C mirrorless models earlier ahead of the Z system’s announcement. While that seemed to be the end of the crop sensor mirrorless conversation for Nikon, since then it has released the Nikon Z50 – a new, compact APS-C mirrorless camera that uses the Z mount. 

It should come as no surprise, then, that it will now be concentrating on developing the Nikon Z lens roadmap to increase the range of primes and zooms for the new mirrorless mount, and it certainly looks like an increasingly mirror-free future for the manufacturer…
