Rumors for Canon’s upcoming high MP DSLR suggest that it will essentially be on the same level as a Canon 1-Series DSLR according to the latest tips coming in at Northlight Images. However, there is still no solid info on whether the camera would carry a 1-Series designation alongside the 1D X and 1D C.
The 1 Nikkor 18.5mm f/1.8 offers a full frame effective focal length of 50mm. Essentially, the new lens becomes a “fast fifty” when used with the Nikon J1, J2 and V1 cameras.
The new 18.5mm f/1.8 lens should be available in November for $189.95. It will be available in black, white and silver. You can order the lens here at B&H Photo.
Nikon Rumors is reporting that Nikon will be dropping a new J2 mirrorless camera later in August as a replacement for the Nikon 1 Series J1 model. Additionally, Nikon is expected to release several new mirrorless accessories, including an underwater housing.
This is just one of the many rumored announcements due for Photokina 2012.
