Huge Nikon 1 V1 price drop

By [NR] admin | Published: October 1, 2012

I already mentioned yesterday that the Nikon 1 V1 camera is currently cheaper than the J1. Today the price went even further down at Adorama – the Nikon 1 V1 + 10-30mm lens kit now sells for $399 (regular price $896.95, deal available only through this link)! Nikon is either having hard time selling this model or they are about to release the Nikon 1 V2 .
