Nikon Wants To Challenge The Sony a9

Nikon Rumors is reporting that Nikon has expressed interest in challenging the Sony a9 with a new mirrorless camera that is equivalent to the D5. This is likely why Sony will refresh the Sony a9 sooner rather than later with an even more impressive Sony a9II. I highly doubt that Nikon will manage to match […]
