Nikon Discontinues Nikon 1 Series Mirrorless Cameras

Nikon has now officially discontinued the 1 Series mirrorless cameras, including all 10 models that were released since 2011. The timing seems to be on spot for the introduction of the first Nikon full frame mirrorless camera.

Speculation is now growing that Nikon are set to release two new full-frame mirrorless cameras ahead of the Photokina photography show in September. Check out the upcoming Nikon full frame mirrorless camera specs below.

The Nikon 1 mirrorless products are also no longer available at B&H, while Adorama still has some models in stock
