Nikon has been around since 1917, introducing the Nikon I in 1948, the Nikon F in 1959 (its first SLR camera with interchangeable lenses) and the Nikon D1 in 1999. The D850 has become its DSLR flagship.
Now the company is going mirrorless with its Z7 and Z6 cameras and new Z mount lenses. During a live stream event, Nikon introduced both cameras, four new lenses, and a new lens adapter into its ecosystem while teasing a future lens roadmap.
Sensor
Both Z7 and Z6 have a backside illuminated FX-format CMOS sensor (35.9mm x 23.9 mm) and tout its latest image processing engine EXPEED 6, which Nikon says "subjects are rendered more sharply than ever before" and "noise is also effectively reduced." The focal flange distance is 16mm and the inner mount diameter measures 55mm, allowing for apertures as fast as f/0.95 (a NIKKOR Z 58mm f/0.95 S Noct lens is in development, but more on that later).
