First rumored Nikon 1 V4 camera specifications

By [NR] admin | Published: September 10, 2015

Here are the first rumored Nikon 1 V4 camera specifications:

~~22.6 MP (the V3 was 18.4MP)~~
~~Fully swivel LCD screen~~
~~Faster AF~~
~~To be announced in Q1 2016~~

Update: after some additional research, I believe the V4 specs listed above are wrong, especially the sensor’s MP count. Sorry about that, I will try to get more reliable info. The V4 will most likely have the same 20.8MP sensor as the J5.

Expect the prices of the Nikon 1 V3 model to start falling in the next few months (currently “only” $100 off).

“V Nikon” and “C Nikon” trademarks registered

By [NR] admin | Published: September 8, 2015

At the end of July 2015 Nikon registered two new trademarks – “C Nikon” and “V Nikon“. From the trademark’s descriptions it seems that these will most likely be for new software packages/solutions (update – maybe V is for View NX and C for Capture NX):

C Nikon is described as:

” Software program for use in digital photography, to provide an image-editing, printing, browsing, exporting, sharing through social media and cloud-based file sharing services, sending by e-mail and slideshow environment for digital images; medium recorded software program for use in digital photography, to provide an image-editing, printing, browsing, exporting, sharing through social media and cloud-based file sharing services, sending by e-mail and slideshow environment for digital images including CD-ROMs, optical discs, magnetic discs and magnetic optical discs; Digital cameras” (source)

The V Nikon description is much more generic:
