The day has arrived! Nikon has released official details and final specifications for its latest flagship DSLR: the D6. We received bits and pieces back when the D6 was revealed, late last year, but now we know everything. Topping the list of new features are an exceptionally powerful autofocus system, superior image quality, and enhanced connectivity. Joining the D6 in today’s launch are two full-frame lenses for the Z Series: the NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S and NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR. Both are welcome additions to Nikon’s continuously growing mirrorless system.
In September 1999, Nikon launched the D1. It was a flagship digital SLR camera. Film was still dominant then and it would take a lot to convince shooters they could rely on this newfangled device. Fortunately, the camera was developed under the guidance of Nikon’s top minds, and the D1 was a definitive success. It was also, perhaps, the camera that sped up the push into the digital age. Within five years of its release, digital camera sales surpassed that of film cameras and now, more than 20 years later, we are still using some of the same concepts first seen in the D1, such as raw file formats. Even with some features sticking with us for so long, it’s encouraging to see that innovation hasn’t stopped at Nikon, because the D6 brings some solid refinements and a few new capabilities to the DSLR series.
