Nikon teasing an EVIL camera?
A non-DSLR interchangeable lens camera from a very DSLR-orientated company might sound weird, but it’s really a question of market segmentation. DSLRs are expensive, and the real benefits of a true SLR body are frequently left unused by first-time shooters. They’d just as happily shoot with an electronic shutter and have a more compact package to work with. Why not push R&D into that type of device, and focus on the pros with your DSLR line? It gives your DSLRs a good reputation and helps pioneer a new device market at the same time. And if a portion of the lenses already on the market fit the mount — you’re laughing.
Too bad it’s really all just loose talk right now. “Je suis fun” could also mean a rugged and waterproof compact, or a pocket camcorder or something. The teaser postcards should just keep on arriving, so we’ll keep you informed if there are any new revelations.
