1″ sensor found in the Nikon 1 J5 camera

Some additional information on my post from few days ago – Nikon will announce three new compact cameras with fixed lenses that will have different focal lengths and apertures (something similar to the Sigma dp0-dp4 range of cameras). All three models will have a 1″ sensor (all listed ranges are in 35mm equivalents):

• Wide angle version: 18-50mm f/1.8-2.8
• Normal range: 24-85mm f/1.8-2.8 (see lens patent here)
• Superzoom: 24-500mm f/2.8-5.6

There is a very good chance that in addition to the D5 in early 2016 we will finally see the long awaited Nikon compact high-end/premium compact camera. I have been reporting for months now that Nikon is working on a new camera(s) with a large/larger sensor (1″ and/or APS-C). More than one version is also a possibility – as many as three different models could be introduce and they could have different lenses (something like the Sigma dp0-dp4 range of cameras maybe? I am not sure). The new camera(s) will be marketed as “always in your bag” and will be targeted for advanced/semi-professional photographers.

There is also a small chance that this rumor is for a new Nikon 1 camera.
