Title: Nikon V3 20fps and 70-300mm (190-810mm equiv)
Post by: Steve Hood on March 13, 2014, 06:11:23 PM

Nikon today announced a new lens for the Nikon 1 system.  The 70-300 f4.6-f5.6 lens ($1000) is not fast but due to the 2.7x crop factor it gives a Field of View of 190-810mm with built-in focus limiter.  Nikon also announced the V3 body ($1200 with EVF and grip) that does 20fps with continuous AF.  The lens and body weigh a combined 950g.  This combination has some unique attribute but is quite expensive considering the smaller sensor.

This would be a fantastic birding combo if it was about a $1000- cheaper. Well, something to look forward to in a couple of years when it's discontinued :)
