Nikon D6 DSLR

Nikon Corp. has listed its flagship DSLR, the D6, on its official list of discontinued products. Released in 2020, the D6 is equipped with a 105-point AF system with which all focus points utilize cross-type sensors and all can be selected. The new focus point layout and the use of a triple-sensor arrangement for each focus point achieve AF coverage that is approximately 1.6x denser than that of the D5.

The D6 is still available at retail and listed on the Nikon USA’s official store.
