Nikon has just announced the Nikkor Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S, a previously teased telephoto lens for its mirrorless line of cameras. Not only with its foal length, but also AF performance and image stabilization, this lens is designed with sport and wildlife photographers in mind. And judging from the specs, they are going to like it. Nikon put this lens on its roadmap way back in November 2020. Back then, it was expected that the company would announce three new Z-mount lenses by the end of 2022, and it looks like they’ve made an early start....

The demand for point-and-shoot cameras has significantly dropped since the advent of smartphones and action cameras....
