Nikon 1 V3 and new lens announcement next week!
Nikonrumors is pretty confident that the rumored new V3 and 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD VR plus 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR zooms will be announced next week!
These should be the V3 camera specs suggested by NR sources:
No optical viewfinder
Optional, external 2.4MP electronic viewfinder (EVF) that will attach to the hot shoe
Built-in flash
Standard hot shoe – you will be able to use regular Nikon Speedlights and the built-in flash could act as a wireless commander(I reported that back in November last year)
Several new interesting video features (sorry)
New external grip will not take any batteries, but it will have a shutter button and front dial
Expeed 4a imaging processor
Completely new camera design similar to the drawings of this recently filed patent and it will be all black (not sure if they will offer different colors)
Very fast everything
18MP sensor
Eye sensor and a button to switch between LCD and EVF
180° swivel LCD screen
