Reuters reports: “The company will price the mirrorless camera plus lens at 70,000 yen-100,000 yen ($900-$1,300), which is on a par with rivals’ offerings.“. But as you see form the image on top Nikon just released an official statement saying that “we didn’t release any information”.
If the camera has a 2,7x crop sensor that price range may be a bit to high or not? Anyway, let’s see what Nikon will announce on September 21!

I think the sensor size will not fix the price. But, what will they do to be better than MFT???
Mayby they have got a totally new idea, but I fear it will be just anoter mirrorless system and many people will buy it just because of the name 🙁
I agree that the price may be a bit too high, but with the same reasoning I would consider that my GH2 should be cheaper than the Canon 60D, which is not. Why did I buy the Panasonic, if it offered a smaller sensor for a similar price? Mainly for the size of the camera. Nikon probably also considers (rightly) that their brand will help them to keep high margins
foveon-like sensor with great color rendition, great High and Low ISO, amazing sharpnes (no AA-filter) could help to fix the price. But is’s only fantasy 🙁
Not going to sell at that price. They can join the PentaxQ on the trash heap of obscurity — a future trivia question, and nothing more.
Unless you have amassed a large investment in c-mount lenses…
So is the sensor in this larger or smaller than in the X10?
