Recently, I was discussing with a friend about which Nikon camera should be found. He asked me the point-blank that what I thought was Nikon’s biggest camera, and my intestine response was to say the Z9-Akhir, it is today the most advanced glasses of any Nikon camera (with the possible exception of Z8). But something else thought, I realized that the answer was not so simple. Who am I to ignore the 7+ decades of the history of Nikon and say that his current flagship is his biggest camera? There are many other cameras with the throne claims. Film, DSLR, Mirrorless, Point-and-Shoot, you name it … what a dilemma!
So, I question you: What is Nikon’s biggest camera so far?
Is this Nikon Z9, their current flagship and the most advanced camera? Nikon Z8, which is very similar, but in a small package and with some new firmware additions? Nikon D850, an almost right DSLR? Or, the “greatest” is something different, completely, like one of Nikon’s classic film cameras?
Today, you can see how your fellow photographer will answer these questions. It is learned that about 128 Nikon cameras have been built in the last 76 years of Nikon’s existence. This is the perfect number for a tournament-style bracket, which is the largest camera at 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and finally 1: The largest camera has ever been built by Nikon.
So, let’s do it. I created a set of elections with 128 Nikon cameras (which was necessary except for some minor cameras, mostly various coolpixes that did not give a chance to win). I have typed these cameras broadly, which we should provide some interesting answers on the way-like people’s favorite Nikon film camera, entry-level DSLR, and so on. I think this is a reasonable approach, but it Does This means that some really good cameras will end in an early stages if their category is small, including full-frame Nikon Z cameras.
Because my bracket tool only allows a maximum of 32 entries in the tournament, I have created four divisions separated by the camera type. Click to reach each of these brackets and vote for the winners themselves!
- The Pancisters (Nikon Z camera and FX DSLRS)
- Small but powerful (Nikon DX DSLRS and more recently Nikon 1 camera)
- Analog hotshots (RepT Nikon Film Camera)
- Underdogs (Less-known cameras today, but they could surprise us)
Some notes:
- Each round of these brackets will be open for 24 hours, and there will be seven rounds in total, so you will have many opportunities to vote in the coming week.
- The “biggest” depends on your interpretation. You can only respond on the basis of specifications, or go to some more abstraction like the cultural effects or sticky power of the camera.
- You do not need to answer every question in these surveys! If you are not convinced that you are a favorite, then say, you may not have heard about Nikon FG-20 vs.301, or any other cameras, feel free to sit out.
- I hope that the first 2-3 rounds are mostly going to converge some of some clear options and some (many) may lower low-bound nicons. But since there may always be some surprise, I decided to start with a full suit of 128, rather than eliminating many more likely cameras.
Just you need to know! I will put this article on top of photography life this week and post some of my thoughts and comments with the completion of each round. In about a week, we must have an answer for the largest Nikon camera of all time (at least according to our readers).
Finally, I should mention, all this is just for entertainment! Do not get stuck in these votes even in “win” or “necklace”, because at the end of the day, it is literally just a popularity competition. Auds are the right camera For you Not going to be the winner of this poll 🙂
