Rumors
SUMMARY
Nikon may be planning a comeback for its DL premium compact camera line, according to unconfirmed rumors. The potential new model is said to feature a 1-inch, 24-MP sensor, premium materials, a leather case, and an optional aftermarket EVF. However, the use of a 1-inch sensor is questioned, as many current premium compact cameras utilize larger APS-C or Micro Four Thirds sensors, offering greater image fidelity. Nikon's previous foray into 1-inch sensor mirrorless cameras, the Nikon 1 Series, was not a significant success.
