Japanese business publication Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun has shared a quote from a recent interview with Nikon’s CEO, Mr. Toshikazu Umatate, wherein he says a flagship mirrorless camera—equivalent to Nikon’s D5 DSLR—will be introduced.
The quote, translated via Google from Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun’s paywalled coverage (translated), reads:
Nikon to introduce a top-end model of the mirror-less camera. Time is a non-published, but Umatate Toshikazu president was revealed in response to the interview of the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun. Top-end model of the digital single-lens reflex camera “D5.”
No specific time-frame was given for the impending release, but this marks the first time anyone from Nikon has officially confirmed a pro-style mirrorless camera designed to replace Nikon’s flagship D4/D5 DSLR lineup.
