We helped launch the Nikon 1 series mirror-less camera system in style yesterday in Sydney. For those not ready for a DSLR but still wanting something serious to capture images with, this new system will be a big hit. I have been looking for a discrete camera to carry with me at all times so I will definitely be putting my order in for the V1 as soon as it becomes available.
