Another interesting interview, this time by DigitalCameraWorld with Nikon's Senior Product Manager. Here are the main points: On the Nikon Z6 & Z7 target audience: There's the peer pressure in the photographic world, that says that mirrorless is the future. And I think everyone agrees it is – but it's basically how quickly people get there. What our system does is is enable what I call a soft switch. So you could buy into the system, you could buy a body, you can use all of your old lenses. On the EVF: We've got the best quality monitor that we can fit – with 3.6 million dots. It's got a refresh rate of 60 frames per second. But, as I said in the presentation, it's not just about the monitor, it's about the optics that we've put in front of it, in terms of making it clear, bright, large, and easy on the eye. On the new Z-mount: We don't have to bend the light so much, and we can get much sharper images at the edges of the frame. And what we can do is just really concentrate on building high-quality lenses that, to be honest, are not as complicated as for the F-mount. (btw, I first reported the first Z-mount rumor back in January) On the future of the Z Nikkor mirrorless lenses: But I think after five years, I don't you'll ever see as many Z-mount lenses as F-mount lenses. But I think what you'll see is the right set...
