Nikon on a Mission with action cam trio The photo stalwart chose Photokina to finally launch its Japanese earthquake delayed KeyMission 360 action camera, which can be controlled remotely via a smart device. The brand also divulged that it had acquired a company developing robot-controlled solutions.

Hiroyuki Ikegami, Head of Marketing for the Nikon Corporation, talked of 'the internet of cameras' and photography having developed to the stage where its audience now expected 'in the moment image sharing', acting as a pre-amble to introducing two more KeyMission series cameras in the 170 and 80. Described as 'hands free, wearable cameras', Mr Ikegami believes that they hold appeal 'beyond thrill seekers… we want to extend adoption beyond the action market.'

Designed for outdoor photography and tough yet lightweight with a small frame, the pocket-sized KeyMission 80 features an upright design, with convenient snap-on magnetic attachment for affixing to the shoulder strap of a camera bag or backpack. Features include automatic interval shooting, waterproofing and touch panel operation, panoramic mode and a 2nd camera for high quality selfies.

As the model name suggests, the KeyMission 170 offers 170° wide angle shooting, and comes with a choice of mounts allowing for diverse uses, along with an e-VR (Vibration Reduction) function, 120fps high frame rate, 170° time lapse option, plus lens protection for use underwater. Of the top five reasons to buy and use the 170, we were told the camera can handle a lot of abuse, compensate for image blur, whilst the slow motion capabilities are also of use.
