"Nikon just did something I have been predicting for a while - they canceled
all three of their DL compact premium cameras because of "profitability
concerns" and provided no information on any future development/release in
the DL line. Here is the official statement:
Cancellation of release of the DL series of premium compact cameras
February 13, 2017 TOKYO - Nikon Corporation announced today that sales of
the long-awaited DL series of premium compact camera, the DL18-50 f/1.8-2.8,
DL24-85 f/1.8-2.8, and DL24-500 f/2.8-5.6, will be canceled.
A June, 2016 release was originally planned for the DL series. However, with
the identification of issues with the integrated circuit for image
processing, release of the three cameras was delayed indeterminately.
Since then, everyone involved has worked very hard to develop products with
which our customers will be satisfied. However, it has been decided that
sales of the DL series will be canceled due to concerns regarding their
profitability considering the increase in development costs, and the drop in
the number of expected sales due to the slow-down of the market.
We sincerely apologize to all those affected by this decision, especially
those customers who waited so long for the cameras to be released, retailers
and others whose business will be affected, for the inconvenience this
decision may cause."
