A new Nikon teaser shows what’s probably the highlight of the new system: The huge 65mm mount ring. It’s supposed to accomodate both FF and the small MF sensor size (same as Fuji GFX). Here is the teaser:

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!
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.
Today we spotted a brand new Nikon patent application (PCTJP2015086328) describing the optical proprieties of a 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens for a Full frame mirrorless. There is only one question now…when is Nikon going to announce this lens?
Nikon released their financial report today and there is some good and bad news:
Good: Fixed cost reduction and focus on high-value-added products increased profit despite market shrinkage
Bad: Did not reach the previous forecast as compact camera sales did not achieve the volume forecast
This is their forecast:
In an interview with the Japanese TV network NHK Nikon confirmed that their new High End Mirrorless System camera(s) will hit the market in Spring 2019.
There is yet no reliable rumor about the possible specs. But our best guess is this:
1) Nikon will announce an entry level FF mirrorless first
2) It will obviously have a new mount and be fully AF compatible with existing F-mount lenses with the new Nikon adapter
3) It will have a new 30+ Megapixel sensor with PDAF
