This is an archived product announcement, originally published in September 2019 ahead of the Nikon D6's release. The camera and lens have since launched.
Nikon's announcement of the D6 flagship DSLR and the Nikkor AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR lens was a significant moment for sports and photojournalism photographers. Timed ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, both products were designed with the demands of professional action shooting firmly in mind.
Nikon D6
The D6 is the latest chapter in Nikon's storied D-series flagship lineage — a range that has been the tool of choice for serious sports photographers and photojournalists for over two decades. Building on the strengths of the D5, the D6 was engineered to excel across the key pillars that professional shooters depend on: speed, autofocus accuracy, image quality, build durability, and an intuitive, professional-grade feature set.
Nikkor AF-S 120-300mm f/2.8E FL ED SR VR
The 120-300mm f/2.8 is a versatile, fast telephoto zoom purpose-built for capturing fast-moving subjects at a range of distances. The f/2.8 maximum aperture delivers excellent subject separation and low-light performance, while Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) system ensures sharp results even when shooting handheld. Premium ED and Fluorite (FL) lens elements underpin the optical design, promising the high-end imaging excellence that Nikon's professional lens range is known for.
