Nikon D750 rumored to get a successor at CES 2020

Mirrorless cameras may be all the rage in 2020, but both Canon and Nikon aren’t keen on seeing DSLRs disappear, with a successor to the now five-year-old Nikon D750 likely to join the ranks this month.

According to reliable camera news leaker Nokishita, Nikon is preparing to announce what will likely be designated the D780 “soon”, along with another CoolPix shooter and two new lenses.

Translated, the above tweet says that Nikon has updated its product list in overseas markets (exactly where is as yet unknown) to include the D780, a CoolPix P950 superzoom bridge camera, an AF-S Nikkor 120-300mm f/2.8E lens and a Z series 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. Although the tweet states that the products will be “announced soon”, unconfirmed reports suggest that the official announcement date will be January 7, the first day of CES 2020.

Lensbaby shifts its focus to Canon EOS R and Nikon Z lines

Lensbaby has made a name for itself crafting offbeat lens options, with its psychedelic images characterized by sweet spots that quickly blend into trippy, blurred peripheries. 

The company has done a stellar job of catering for users of various DSLR and mirrorless marques, and now the company is adding two more, with the announcement that many of its most popular models are to be available in Canon EOS R and Nikon Z mounts.

The Portland-based company has confirmed that the Sol 45mm f/3.5, Trio 28mm f/3.5, Composer Pro II, Velvet 56mm f/1.6 and Velvet 85mm f/1.8 will be available in both Canon EOS R and Nikon Z fits.

Currently, those wishing to use existing Canon EF- or Nikon F-mount Lensbabies with their newer mirrorless bodies can do so via lens adapters available for both new mirrorless systems.

That’s great for older options like the Control Freak and Spark, which aren’t currently available in these new mounts, although these fresh options have the advantage of negating the need for adapters.

US Lensbaby fans can order the new optics from the company’s website, while those in the UK can get them from Wex Photo Video.
