Nikon has just announced the release of their first Mirrorless Camera
Nikon announced two new mirrorless cameras early this morning EDT.
The Nikon Z6, a 24.5mp FX sensor and the Nikon Z7, a 45.7mp FX sensor.
They are both full frame sensors and it has been announced that you can use your existing F mount lenses with an adapter. So for you existing full frame sensor Nikon users you don’t have to get the newer lenses to use these cameras
The new lens mount is the Z-Mount and they have a new set of Z-Mount Lenses to go along with the new cameras. But again, you can still use your F mount full Frame lenses using the Nikon FTZ Adapter.
The 3 Z-Mount lenses they are releasing now are
- 24-70mm F/4 S

- 50mm F/1.8 S – Prime Lens
58mm f/0.95 S NOCT is still in development and will be released later
These are all part of the new NiKKOR S series lenses.
The Z-Mount has a larger ring opening that lets more light to hit the sensor and can provide a sharper image to the sensor. It also has more connectors to transfer information to and from the lens at a faster rate than existing lenses. It is a size of a 55mm inner mount diameter and a 16mm flange focal distance.
There is an optional Battery Pack to increase your shooting time.
