NR, Mr. Tetsuro Goto, the Director of Laboratory Research and Development at Nikon Japan, said:
* No medium format from Nikon: “We have no experience in the niche market of medium-format. It may simply be impossible for Nikon to go on the market.”
* On Micro 4/3 & Nikon: “If we follow this type of equipment, we change our frame (mount). The new frame will provide new opportunities or provide access to new technologies and to use targets smaller and lighter”.
* Large sensor compact camera: “We study this way. You’ll know soon enough.”
* On EVF: “In the near future, it is possible that we will also use electronic viewfinders, but for now the quality is not there yet.”
* On SWM (Silent Wave Motor): “We are currently investigating a new system for the future.”
* On the future of Nikonos: “personally I think the Nikonos reborn in the future.”
