Nikonrumors reports that on October 24th not only the new V2 camera but also three new lenses will be announced:
1 Nikkor 32mm f/1.2
1 Nikkor 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6
1 Nikkor 10-100mm f/4-5.6

But the main question remains. Will that be enough to compete against the NEX-MFT-EOS-M and X systems? When Is Nikon going to launch a more advanced mirrorless system?

Egami (Translation here) spotted a new Tamron patent describing three new lens designs: 40mm, 35mm and 30mm all with f/2.0 aperture. The interesting thing is that they designed this lenses for a sensor as large as 1 inch which is exactly the one used by the Nikon 1 system.

One more news. According to Nikonrumors the new V2 will be unveiled on October 24th.

Nikonrumors reports that the new V2 mirrorless camera willa rrive before the end of this year. Meantime the Nikon 1 V1 with the 10-30 mm lens down to insane $399 (click here). And the Nikon 1 price drops are now pushing the camera on the top 10 of the most sold mirrorless cameras at Amazon (see here).

And once again Samsung leaked the names of future NX models on their support page. We have the NX300 and the NX-R. the NX-R should be that “retro” model which image has been shown by Samsung almost a year ago.

Spanish DSLR Magazine (machine translated) published a long interview with Richard Shepherd, Senior Product Specialist for the EOS system, Canon Europe. And once again it becomes clear that unlike Fuji and Sony Canon has no plan yet to go into the PRO market with their mirrorless M system. I guess that they will wait until Fuji and Sony will release their FF mirrorless cameras in 2013 to see the market response.
