Nikon confirms D6 - Japanese company's 'most advanced DSLR yet'

Just hours after Nikon Europe leaked news of its existence, Nikon have now officially confirmed the D6 is in development.

Nikon released the flagship D1 digital SLR camera in 1999, making 2019 the 20th anniversary of the single-digit D series.
