The latest rumors are that the Nikon 1 V3 with a new 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD VR lens and the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR zoom will all be announced next week, probably on March 12th or 13th. There will also be a new Nikon 1 light (LED?) accessory – maybe one of those prototypes:

FYI: last year Nikon announced the LD-1000 LED movie light that is still available today and I doubt that it will be replaced next week.

I expect this to be a Nikon 1 announcement only and I don’t think we will see anything else (the rumored Nikon Coolpix P8000 camera is expected in April-May).

Here is an updated list of the rumored Nikon 1 V3 camera specifications:
