Sony a7 III is the Camera Nikon’s Full Frame Mirrorless Must Beat

Hugh Brownstone writes:

Nikon has a once -in-a-generation opportunity to redefine state of the art — actually reset the entire industry — but they have to get past Sony’s a7 III first. This is a unique set of opportunities and challenges, and it is not yet clear if Nikon — or Canon coming in behind them — is up to it.

This is the first Nikon Full Frame mirrorless paper model :)

Based on the leaked teaser image @buildyourcamera created this Nikon Full Frame mirrorless paper model. This might be really close to the actual camera that Nikon will announce on August 23!

New Nikon patent shows a mirrorless camera CMOS global shutter with dual pixel autofocus

Nikon is working on the holy grail of mirrorless system camera sensor tech. In the newly published patent application (submitted in January 2018)  they present a new sensor:

In order to realize a global shutter in a CMOS image sensor, there is known an imaging apparatus in which a storage section is provided to a pixel.

Moreover the sensor has on sensor phase detection pixels similar to Canon’s dual pixel tech.If Nikon can really translate this into their new FF mirrorless it would certainly mark a quantum leap over current Sony’s.
