The Chinese mobile phone producer BBK Electronics is rumored to announce a new Vivo phablet equipped with 20MP camera (1/1.7″ sensor), fast f/2.0 lens and Expeed image processor:
“The professional image processing chip used is Nikon’s Expeed E1-158 1051 200 M, which could be a slightly modified version of the old Expeed 3 ARM processor introduced in 2011 with the Nikon 1 series mirrorless cameras.” (source)

Nikon Coolpix P7800 hands-on video:
The Nikon D610 will most likely be announced in two weeks, on October 7th or 8th. The only upgrade I am aware (in addition to the shutter) is the slightly improved top continuous shooting speed at 6 fps (compared to 5.5 fps in the D600). I cannot yet confirm if there will be something else announced on that date.
This is the first set of Nikon D5300 specifications:
In addition to the built-in Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities I already mentioned few weeks ago, the new D5300 will be the first camera to get the new EXPEED 4 processor. I was expecting the EXPEED 4 to be featured first in the D400, but that’s not going to be the case. Maybe this is another nail in the D400 coffin.
