Rumor: Next Week to Bring New Gear for Nikon 1 Series
What’s churning away in the rumor mills regarding Nikon? According to Nikon Rumors, it’s the impending announcement of the Nikon 1 V3, the 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD VR lens, the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR zoom, and a new Nikon 1-series light that may very well be one of the prototype LED lights Nikon revealed at PhotoPlus.
For a breakdown of the latest specs expected to be seen in the Nikon 1 V3, here’s a list NR put together:
- No optical viewfinder
- Optional, external 2.4MP electronic EVF that will attach to the hot shoe
- Built-in flash
- Standard hot shoe — you will be able to use regular Nikon Speedlights and the built-in flash could act as a wireless commander
- Several new video features
- New external grip will not take any batteries, but it will have a shutter button and front dial
- Expeed 4a imaging processor
- Completely new camera design similar to the drawings of this recently filed patent
- Very fast everything
- 18MP sensor
- Eye sensor and a button to switch between LCD and EVF
- 180° swivel LCD screen
It looks to be a rather substantial upgrade and with it being less than a week away, it shouldn’t be long before we find out for sure what Nikon is holding in store. For you Nikon 1 shooters out there, what improvements would you like to see to the V-series of cameras?
