A couple of days ago, we did come across a listing of the Nikon 1 V1 receiving a massive discount at one particular online retailer’s site, which might signal one of three things – there is a mistake on the webmaster’s part, the Nikon 1 V1 is about to be phased out as there is a new model in the works, or the vendor offering the Nikon 1 V1 is just hoping to get rid of their stock which proved to be too slow moving for their likes, taking up precious warehouse space in the process. Most folks would want to hope that it is the second option that is true, and this might just be the case after all as there are whispers going around the digital grapevine that the next Nikon announcement will be the Nikon 1 V2 mirrorless camera.
The Nikon 1 V2 is said to deliver minor improvements compared to the V1, where speculation abounds as to whether it will carry Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities or not. Still, we do hope to see more information on the Nikon 1 V2 leak out before the year is over. Oh yeah, what you see above is just a mockup and not the real deal.

During the Olympics, athlete Usain Bolt grabbed a photographer’s camera, a Nikon D4 to be specific, and used it to take photos of his surroundings. It was pretty sporting of him and the photographer and it produced some interesting photos that you might not have expected from photographers taking photos during the Olympic games.
It wasn’t too long ago that Nikon took the wraps off several new cameras, although rather disappointing was the fact that there were no new Nikon mirrorless camera announcements. For those who enjoyed Nikon’s 1 series, we’re sure that you guys were waiting to see what sort of upgrades and new features would be included in their successors. While it remains to be seen as to what exactly those features are, it looks like the Nikon 1 V1 has had a huge price reduction.
If you were planning on getting your hands on the Nikon D5100, you might want to move fast as according to reports, it seems that Nikon Germany has sent out emails to retailers stating that the Nikon D5100 was no longer available for order. To be more specific, they used the word “abkundigung” which apparently translates to “discontinuation”. However on the Nikon website, it does not state that the D5100 has been discontinued, so either we’re looking at an email interpreted wrongly, or Nikon’s website has yet to be updated, or possibly the discontinuation has not taken effect just yet. Either way if the D5100 has been in your sights, perhaps now might be a good time to get your hands on one before retailers run out of them.
