Nikon Confirmed to Release Many New Products in 2021
From DCLife.jp (Translated):
- We are still challengers at Mirrorless, so we would like to take on various challenges.
- Among them, the Z mount system is considered to be a system with great potential for new creation because it is a large diameter short flange back.
- Taking advantage of this mount system, we would like to evolve the body and lens and develop products that will impress our customers.
- We plan to release many new products this year as well.
