Some new information on the upcoming Nikon 1 V3 mirrorless camera:
- The new external grip will not take any batteries, but it will have a shutter button and front dial
- Optical viewfinder – this is where I am a bit confused. I think the camera will have an optical viewfinder and an optional EVF as previously reported.
- Expeed 4a imaging processor
- The camera design will be similar to the sketch above, but it will be all black (not sure if they will offer different colors)
- The official announcement is expected in March (most likely in mid-March)
Previously reported Nikon 1 V3 specifications:
- Completely new camera design
- Very fast everything
- 18MP sensor
- External (probably optional) 2.4MP electronic viewfinder (EVF)
- Eye sensor and a button to switch between LCD and EVF
- 180° swivel LCD screen
- New grip (also probably optional, not sure if it will have batteries)
- New Nikkor 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD VR zoom lens
- The official announcement will be in the next 1-2 months
