Nikon at Photokina 2012

I think for the 2012 Photokina show Nikon will only announce the Nikkor 1 18.5mm f/1.8 mirrorless lens and the D600 DSLR full frame camera.

In addition to the D600, for Photokina 2012 Nikon will announce also a new Nikkor 1 18.5mm f/1.8 mirrorless lens (50mm equivalent). The lens will have one aspherical element. I believe the new lens will look like the pictured Nikon 1 concept prime lens that was on display at the PDN show in New York last […]

There is also a big dsicount on the Nikon 1 V1 mirrorless camera: $596.95 (original price: $899): Those price drops could be related to the new September Nikon instant rebates and not because of an upcoming replacement:
