where there’s smoke there’s fire

All Nikon 1 products are now available for pre-order at Adorama, B&H and Amazon:

Both iamcomings.com and thebighands.com were indeed Nikon’s marketing campaigns. Both sites are updated with new content – the big hands now hold a Nikon 1 camera, the comings site has a promotional video (that doesn’t load).

I really don’t expect anything else to be announced today. There will be more, but not today. Most of the Nikon 1 press events scheduled in different countries will start in about an hour and this is probably what the clock was set to.

• Nikon 1 J1 is the world’s smallest mirrorless camera (as of August 5, 2011)
