The new Nikon 1 J5 mirrorless camera could be announced next week

Nikon_nikon 1 j5 mirrorless camera
The rumored Nikon 1 J5 camera could be announced next week – the unconfirmed date I have is April 2nd (I hope it’s not an April fool’s joke). Here is what to expect:

  • 4k video
  • new 20.8MP sensor (some rumors suggested a new 28MP sensor, but this could be a typo)
  • NFC (Near Field Communication)
  • Built-in Wi-Fi
  • Touch screen
  • At least one other new feature/functionality

As usual, if you have any additional information on the J5, there are many ways to share it anonymously.
