Sometime around mid september, Nikon announced a new camera system. Its called the Nikon 1 system and comes in two flavours. The V1 and J1. Nikon have introduced a new sensor type called CX with this new system, and it comes after FX and DX. See the pix below!
The good stuff is the V1. Compact body with interchangeable lens. Dslr type speed, control and functions.
To simplify, its like a dslr without a mirror and viewfinder. The new system removes the 'single lens reflex' so the viewfinder and mirror are now electronic allowing the V1 into the compact size territory. Another term for this type of camera system is known as EVIL like the olumpus and panasonic mirco 4/3 or sony's nex line of cameras. By going EVIL, the shutter is also electronic. Another important size reducing factor.

So whats exciting about this new system? You can buy a lens mount
adaptor for the V1 to accept Nikon-F mount! Yes, that means, any existing
nikkor lens can be used on this tiny camera. Or perhaps better to say,
the V1 can be mounted onto any nikkor lens. V1 has all the iso and image quality like any nikon dlsr!
Its like a midget on steroids!
