Nikon has posted a teaser page with a ticker giving strong clue of the upcoming mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras from the company. The teaser page says “I AM COMING” with the ticker showing about 40 hours left, indicating that the new cameras will be announced on Wednesday morning.

Rumors are that Nikon will announce a completely new platform with two new mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras Nikon J1 and V1. Both the cameras will have 10.1-megapixel sensor, EXPEED 3 image processor, 100-3200 ISO range, 3-inch LCD, 1080p video recording at 60fps and VGA recording at up to 400fps.

The cameras will support both phase and contrast autofocus detection with 2.7x crop factor. The J1 will have integrated flash while the V1 will swap that for a built-in high-resolution EVF (electronic viewfinder) along with a multifunction accessory port for hooking up an external flash or GPS dongle, according to SlashGear.

Nikon will also announce four lenses for the new cameras including 10mm f/2.8 pancake, 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR lens, a 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 VR and a 30-110mm VR lens.
