According to Kyodo News and Nikkei Shimbun and other Japanese media reported on the 12th, Japan's Nikon revealed that it has stopped developing SLR cameras. According to the report, Nikon stated that "although research and development work has been stopped, it may be restarted in the future" and said that the production, sales and after-sales work of existing products will continue. Nikon said it will focus its resources on developing mirrorless cameras in the future.
Nikon later responded on its official website, saying: The above reports are based on speculation and are not news released by the company. The production, sales and after-sales support of Nikon digital SLR cameras are still ongoing, and users can continue to use them with confidence. However, this announcement did not directly respond to the question of "whether to stop the development of SLR cameras." Nikon's SLR cameras have always had a larger share of the global market since they were first released in 1959, but smaller mirrorless cameras have taken the market by storm in recent years. Nikon entered the market in 1959 with the "Nikon F" series of film SLR cameras, and then gradually went digital. Since the release of "D6" in June 2020, it has not launched a new SLR camera.
