The just released new firmware version 1.11 for Nikon 1 includes the following fixes (V1, J1 download links):
- An issue that sometimes caused images captured using the Speedlight SB-N5 to be over-exposed has been resolved
- When switching from framing photos in the monitor to using the electronic viewfinder, or vice versa, with focus mode set to MF (manual focus) and the display zoomed in, the camera sometimes did not function properly. This issue has been resolved (apply only to Nikon V1)
The Nikon D800 is now officially announced:
Nikon D800E
I am not 99% sure, but it seems that the price of the Nikon D800E (the version without the AA filter) will be $3,300. The only reason I am not sure is because this is kind of cheap... If true, this will place the regular Nikon D800 at $3,000 or maybe even slightly lower. FIY: when in stock, the Nikon D700 sells for $2,700, the 24MP D3x sells for $8,000.
You can read all the Nikon D800 details on this Brazilian website including seven official images of the new camera. The full press release (Google translated) is available here.
