Melville, NY—At CES 2020, Booth #14018, Nikon Inc. unveiled its lively and inspirational space. The booth featured an array of presentations, innovative product debuts as well as inspiring activations.

Moreover, designed to provide an interactive experience, the Nikon booth showcased live presentations and panel discussions from a prestigious lineup of Nikon Ambassadors and creators.

In addition, it boasted three pop-up studio scenarios; they allowed visitors to interact with some of Nikon’s latest camera tech to create their own shareable moments with studio backdrops and scenes. Visitors also had the chance to check out Nikon’s latest imaging technologies at display tables, including the company’s mirrorless, DSLR and Coolpix cameras, as well as its Nikkor optics.

Furthermore, Nikon livestreamed all of the presentations and panel discussions directly from its booth. As a result, those who could not make it to CES 2020 could still experience the show online.

In addition, the full schedule of Nikon Theater presentations can be found below. The company produced a varied and informative array of sessions.

Nikon at CES 2020: New Products

Visitors to CES 2020 can got a hands-on look at Nikon’s expanding Nikkor Z lens lineup. Built for Nikon’s mirrorless camera system, the lenses comprise the company’s most advanced optical system for next-level performance. Visitors also touched and tried out the following products at the Nikon booth.

Nikkor Z 70–200mm f/2.8 VR S

The Nikkor Z lens lineup now includes the Nikkor Z 7–200mm f/2.8 VR S telephoto zoom lens. Nikon reimagined this classic lens to maximize the benefits of the Nikon Z series. It provides a fast f/2.8 aperture, a close focus distance and 5 stops of built-in optical VR (vibration reduction) image stabilization.
