This much-anticipated event will feature engaging consumer-focused activities, showcasing the latest in Nikon's mirrorless camera technology, particularly the Z5II and Z50II models.

A Journey Across America

The Nikon Tour will roll out in an eye-catching branded SUV, making its way to iconic locations such as San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Houston. This tour aims not just to market cameras but to create unforgettable experiences for photographers, videographers, and content creators. Through interactive activities, participants will get hands-on experience with Nikon's cutting-edge technology and receive valuable insights from camera experts.

Fumiko Kawabata, Sr. Vice President of Marketing and Planning at Nikon, expressed their commitment to empowering creativity: "We want to get our latest mirrorless camera models into people's hands, letting them experience first-hand how Nikon can empower their creative potential."

Unique and Localized Experiences

Every stop on the Nikon Tour will present attendees with a unique experience infused with local character.
