With the Canon 1D X Mark III off to a great start after its recent release with notable specs like its 20 fps burst rate with the mechanical shutter and 5.5K raw video at 60 fps; attention is turning toward the Nikon camp, as the company prepares to announce the D6, the next iteration of their flagship DSLR.
Nikon Rumors is reporting that the Nikon D6 will likely be announced in February alongside two new Z mount mirrorless lenses. The two new lenses will likely be the Nikkor Z 20mm f/1.8 S and the Nikkor Z 24-200mm, a variable aperture zoom with a maximum aperture of f/6.3. Given that the 20mm is an f/1.8 and the 24-200mm is a variable aperture, both will likely be midrange, more affordable lenses, keeping in line with most of the Z mount lenses released thus far.
