Nikon announced last week three different 4K cameras, the first two being the Nikon D5 camera and the Nikon KeyMission 360 camera, in addition to the D500 4K, all proved to be very interesting products of a normally conservative company, but we went further: a 360-degree 4K action camera called KeyMission 360 by combining two GoPro-style wide-angle cameras on the front and back of the camera , you can get a 4K video that combines into the camera and gives you a 360 degree view of the environment.
Nikon KeyMission 360 Camera Specifications:
360-degree 4K video
Antigolpes up to 2 m
30m waterproof
Bluetooth/WiFi connectivity
HDMI port
Probably using a MicroSD card (I’m not sure yet)

The camera itself is water resistant up to 30 meters deep without a separate housing, and is also very resistant, resistant to dust, shocks and low temperatures. In addition, it reduces reliable electronic vibrations, enabled through applications during playback, reduces camera motion effects, producing sharp and accurate film quality. It has been designed for a variety of challenging conditions typical of the action camera market, ensuring maximum ease of use and freedom of movement to facilitate a wide range of outdoor sports and leisure activities.
I don’t really know much else except that it is a product aimed at an audience that is also likely to see GoPro and possibly looking for a 360 degree solution within their budget. Not clear if you can opt for the single recording? from one of the camera’s cameras? If you don’t need the 360-degree effect, this would probably lead to high-quality images. There is also no pricing information, but we expect it to be competitive with other products in that range, probably less than $ 1,000? But we’ll have to wait and see In any case, it will be available in the second quarter of 2016.
Another new feature of Nikon: the Nikon D500 camera
Nikon’s third camera, the D500 with a nearly 21 megapixel DX and APS-C sensor, is the new flagship product of cameras with smaller Nikon sensors, and a kind of successor to the professional APS-C D300. With automatic processing and similar focus to the Nikon D5 camera, which is larger and much more expensive, the Nikon D500 camera adapts much more to budgets adjusted to a price of $2,000 per case alone, and just under $3,100 with the 16-80mm lens. ISO of the Nikon D5, you will get the maximum for the Nikon D500 camera, which ranges from 50 to 1,640,000.
Unless big mistakes are made, it seems that the Nikon D500’s 4K/UHD camera is capable of recording up to 30 minutes, unlike the 3 minutes of the Nikon D5 camera. A Nikon brochure contradicts some of the information contained in the specifications detailed on the D500 page, so I’m not sure what’s right, but I have 30 minutes right now because the isolated nature of the D5 creates a lot of heat inside the camera and limits the recording time. There are other warnings related to 4K trimming that I can’t go into further details due to lack of space.
