A Nikonrumors reader design (not the real rumred camera!).
Is Nikon going after the Fuji X100s? Nikonrumors reports that “Nikon will announce a new compact camera with 16.2 effective megapixels DX-sized CMOS sensor, fixed 28mm f/2.8 (or maybe even f/2.0) lens and EXPEED 2 image processing engine“

a million “shut up and take my money” in 3 2 1…
So Nikonrumor Readers wish Nikon to make a Fuji X100? Just buy a Fuji then 😉
Maybe someone would get the Nikon version so they can edit their RAW files without getting a new RAW editor or changing their workflow. The little bit extra IQ you get from the Fuji may not be worth the hassle that entails.
Nice, but why would they use and old sensor and processor in a new camera???
Use the sensor and processor of the D5200!
28mm lens is real focal length of eq. in FF terms? If it’s real focal length and it has an f/2 aperture it might be a quite attractive camera.
That is one nostalgic Nikonrumors poster…
At best it will be Samsung-idea-retro design
Wait a minute.. That’s not fixed lens.. It’s a full frame rangefinder and a hole new lens system.. WOW..Thank you Nikon!
If you read the story at Nikon rumors, they left the credit on the photo that states it is a for fun mockup that someone drew from a modified X100, don’t expect the Nikon to look anything like that.
Will it be under 3000? Then I’m still not sure. But it’s interesting to see what they come up with.
Nikon loves playing second fiddle in orchestra
Enough with “retro” brick style. How about the world’s most ergonomic design? Or is that too difficult?
If anyone has seen Nikon’s recent “1” camera, especially in white, they would recognize that Nikon have lost their marbles. LOL.
Retro? LOL!
I’ll tell you the same thing I told Sarah Palin a couple years ago, “It aint going to happen”
So we would get either a 28mm lens equiv or a 41mm equiv. either way those are like two of the worst focal lengths
28mm equivalent.
Still waiting for a compact like this, but with a decent zoom…
Sigh…
Nikon 1 autofocus with a larger and better sensor would immediately vault this camera to the top of the mirrorless hill, IMO.
Where is it then ? Still no sign, it needs to be no longer than 35mm equivalent and well made otherwise it will disappear with the same level of “none event” that the Canon EOS M has.
It’s looks like too much a Fuji X or Leica M camera, and not to the actual range of mirrorless cameras from Nikon !
Fixed lens > autofocus > no way for me
