A few weeks back we got our first look at a sexy new Nikon 1 Series camera and now we’ve got the specs for the proposed camera. Nikon Rumors reports the camera in the patent is actually a new 18MP Nikon 1 V3. One of the big changes could be moving the electronic viewfinder from being part of the camera to an optional unit. The EVF is also getting a nice bump up to 2.44MP screen, whereas the Nikon 1 V2 came with a 1.44MP display. The potentially optional unit could also include a proximity senor to automatically switch between the LCD and EVF.

Below the EVF, the Nikon 1 V3 is reported to feature a 180-degree swiveling LCD screen. As we saw in the patent drawing, the new Nikon 1 V3 seems to be targeting higher-end users and the details reveal there could be a new battery grip on its way. Additionally we might see a new version of the Nikkor 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD VR zoom lens that will be announced in the next month or two along with the Nikon 1 V3.

Did Canon Miss the Memo That Says Mirrorless Lenses Are Meant to Be Smaller?

When Canon introduced their new Mirrorless cameras earlier on this year (The EOS R) one of the stand out features was that the lens mount was so huge. While other manufacturers like Sony have made all things Mirrorless smaller, the late comer to the Mirrorless party seems to have decided that bigger is better. In a recently released interview, Canon engineers seem to be having a sly dig at Sony by saying that lenses with smaller mounts are far less capable than those with larger mounts. Read on after the break to find out more about what the Canon engineers are wafting on about.

The New Nikon P1000 Has a 125x Optical Zoom with a Laughable 1/2.3 inch Sensor for $999.95

Today, for some odd reason, the Nikon P1000 point and shoot camera is being announced. Odd, you ask? The fact that it is a point and shoot isn’t such a big issue at all; but the fact that it’s a superzoom camera being marketed as one with a 125x optical zoom is what’s insane. Kudos to Nikon for being able to do something like this; but then you read the fine print (or in this case, print that’s not even in the press release) and see the bait and switch–this Nikkor lens is having its potential wasted by being placed in front of a 1/2.3 inch sensor.
