Nikon set to announce their full frame mirrorless camera within a week?

That’s what Nikon Rumors is reporting: Nikon might announce their first full frame mirrorless camera within a week.

They also got some information about pricing in Europe:

• Nikon 45MP full frame mirrorless camera: €4,000 (around $4,670)
• Nikon 24MP full frame mirrorless camera: €2,500 (around $2,900)

One possible (rumored) scenario is that 45MP Nikon mirrorless full-frame camera will be announced first (at the end of July) while the second 24MP Nikon mirrorless full-frame camera could be announced at Photokina. The shipping of at least one of the new Nikon mirrorless full-frame cameras is rumored to start at the end of August or in early September.

There is also a set of specifications for Nikon’s upcoming FF MILCs:

• Two mirrorless cameras: one with 24-25MP and one with 45MP (48MP is also a possibility).
• Similar body size to the Sony a7 camera but with better ergonomics and a better grip.
• 5-axis in-body stabilization
• 9fps
• New mirrorless mount.
• The new mirrorless mount will allow for f/0.95 lenses
• Memory cards: XQD and CF Express
• EVF resolution: 3.6MP
• Initially, three lenses will be announced: 24-70mm, 35mm and 50mm (the 35 and 50mm could be f/1.4). There is also talk about a 24mm, but it may come later.
•  Pricing:
  • The 45MP model will be around $4,000/€4,000 in a kit with the 24-70mm lens.
  • The 25MP model will be under $3,000/€3,000 (also with a lens).
• The official announcement is rumored for the end of July (on or around July 23rd) and shipping shortly after (August 23rd).

All in all, the rumored specifications describe a very interesting camera. And Canon? For the time being everything surrounding Canon’s full frame mirrorless camera is a big mess.

What do you think? Is it possible that Nikon will announce their FF MILCs within a week?
