This is an updated post on what to expect from Nikon in the next few months:
Nikon 1 V3
A new Nikon 1 V3 camera will be announced this week. On several occasions in the past Nikon confirmed that they are still committed to their mirrorless line, even after disappointing sales from Europe and the US. Here are the rumored Nikon 1 V3 specifications:
- New specs: 20 fps, 171 contrast AF points
- No optical viewfinder
- Optional, external 2.4MP electronic viewfinder (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(I reported that back in November last year)
- Several new interesting 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 and it will be all black (not sure if they will offer different colors)
- Very fast everything
- 18MP sensor
- Eye sensor and a button to switch between LCD and EVF
- 180° swivel LCD screen
Two new Nikkor 1 lenses and other accessories are also expected to be announced this week.
