Nikon V1 and J1 mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras official: pictures, pricing and availability

The Nikon 1 series of cameras are off to a quick start. Nikon says that sales are strong and supply of its first mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses cannot keep up with demand.

As we previously reported, the floods in Thailand have already impacted production of Nikon's DSLR cameras and lenses. Nikon suspended operations on October 6th and is now busy procuring equipment in order to resume production at alternate facilities. Its goal is to begin anew from December with the aim of returning to normal production levels by the end of March 2012.

The Nikon J1 will start at £549.99 / €638 in Europe, and the V1 at £829.99 / €962, each with the 10-30mm kit lens; you can swap it for the 10mm pancake prime for an additional 50 quid.
