It's also the first camera to feature the newly announced XQD memory card format, with Sony being the first company to offer the cards.
Not content with unleashing a new pro camera onto the market, Nikon also announced a brand new Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 portrait lens which is likely to be a hit with both professional and amateur photographers.
It was more good news for Nikon as it also announced that the Nikon 1 J1 compact system camera, which has only been on sale for a matter of weeks, has smashed sales figures since the mirrorless market started back in 2008. It's now the second biggest sellers of CSCs in the UK - something that not many people would have predicted.
Fujifilm news
A new host of Fujifilm compacts were announced this week, including a new set of bridge cameras for its premium compact S series, two new rugged waterproof cameras and a bunch of models in its J, Z and T ranges.
Many expect that Fuji will announce something big during CES, so stay tuned to find out if that happens.
Kodak news
Sadly, it was more bad news for Kodak this week, with things seeming to get worse as the weeks pass on. Earlier in the week, it was warned that it could be removed from the New York Stock Exchange if it didn't improve its fortunes, while reports later on suggested that it may be filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Keep following for more news on Kodak's future as it emerges.
Olympus news
Finally this week, rumours are rife that a new Olympus compact system camera could be unveiled in February, featuring weatherproof sealing and in-built viewfinder. Check our story to read all the latest gossip.
