Nikon Europe posted a short video that has all the characteristics of a teaser video.
The video “Travel of Light” (below) shows a highlighted camera mount, and hints to what appears to be a new camera to be launched soon. The caption states:
Countless rays of light come together, forming an image at the end of their long journey. Nikon’s ongoing mission heading into the future: to guide light into forming superb pictures.
Along with the video, Nikon activated a new microsite which points to a “Nikon Special Event 2018”.
Doesn’t the camera in the video look a bit too bulky for a MILC? Looks like a medium format camera to me.
However, if Nikon is set to announce their first full frame mirrorless camera, then Canon will follow very soon.
Currently, the whole “Canon full frame mirrorless camera rumor mill” is a big mess with lots of talking and very little solid information. All Canon full frame mirrorless camera rumors are listed here.
What do you think, is the video about Nikon’s full frame mirrorless camera? Sound off in the comment section.

BCN Retail published market figures for interchangeable lens cameras in Japan for the period January to June 2018.
Canon clearly leads the market and ranks best for MILCs, Nikon is present (Nikon D5300 ranks first), Sony appears to have no importance.
Among the first 10 placed, Canon hits 7 times, Nikon 3 times. Sony’s best placement is rank 15.
Canon is also leader in the mirrorless market, with the EOS M50 being the most sold mirrorless camera in Japan.

Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 ART at a glance:
Roger Cicala of Lens Rentals posted MTF charts and other lab analysis data of the Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 Art lens.
In the conclusion he writes:
I said at the beginning that I expected this lens to be at least as good as the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 and better than the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8. I think it’s pretty apparent that while they are all within hair splitting distance of each other at 14mm, the Sigma is the best at 24mm. Optically, this one is worth the money and the best overall 14-24mm zoom. There are lots of other things that go into choosing a lens, but at these very wide angles, things like autofocus speed are not big points.
That being said, if you’re buying a 14mm lens to be a 14mm prime (and some of you are), then all three of these do very well. Honestly, though, for a little more money you should consider the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 Art if that’s the case. If you’re thinking of matching a 14-24-70mm f/2.8 to collect the whole focal length set, then the Sigma is the best optical choice.
Head over to Lens Rentals to see the MTF charts and learn more about the Sigma 14-24mm f2.8 Art.
The Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 ART sells for $1,299:

Nikon Coolpix P1000 at a glance:
A few days ago Nikon announced the Nikon Coolpix P1000, a compact camera with a 24-3000mm equivalent zoom, which translates to a 125x zoom.
125x zoom, you read right. If you want to learn what a 125x zoom, or a 24-3000mm (35mm-)equivalent lens means, then have a look at the videos below. Spoiler: it’s just C.R.A.Z.Y.
The Nikon Coolpix P1000 goes for $999, and can be pre-ordered at B&H, Adorama and Amazon.
Just for the fun to compare, this is what the Nikon P900 was able to do.
