Has Nikon’s last DSLR flagship bit the dust? Outlets list the Nikon D6 as discontinued

The Nikon D6 has been discontinued, according to Japanese news outlet Asobinet, which has reported that the flagship DSLR is “no longer available in camera stores.” It’s worth noting that at the time of writing, the Nikon D6 is not yet listed as an ‘Old Product’ on the Nikon Japan website. But, with several Japanese camera stores having listed the beefy DSLR as ‘discontinued’, I'm assuming it's only a matter of time.

If the Nikon D6’s time truly has come, only three Nikon cameras would remain in the 'Big N's' dwindling DSLR line-up: The mighty Nikon D850, Nikon D780, and Nikon D7500. But the D6’s farewell seems particularly significant, given that it’s almost certainly the very last flagship DSLR Nikon will ever make. Just like the Nikon F6, it brings a tear to the viewfinder!
