Here’s an interesting pair that I came across at the Pentax booth at PhotoPlus 2012. That’s the Pentax Q10 paired to the K-mount Pentax DA 560mm F5.6 ED lens via the Adapter Q. The odd combo results in a roughly 3080mm reach compared to a full frame camera, which is due to the small 1/2.3″ sensor found inside the Pentax Q10.
Per Canon USA, the Canon EOS M will be shipping this week and should have availability across US retailers. Keep an eye on it here at B&H Photo.
The Nikon 1 V2 is the latest in the 1 Series mirrorless system and it brings improved ergonomics, a new built-in flash and command mode dial to the table. The Nikon 1 V2 features a 14.2MP CX format sensor and captures 1080p HD video.
The V2 should be available in November 2012 for $899.95 with the included 10-30mm VR lens. You can find the V2 here at B&H Photo.
Alongside the V2, Nikon also introduced the SB-N7, a new i-TTL speedlight that is designed for connection on the V2’s hot shoe. The flash head tilts up to 120 degrees and provides guide number of 18 meters/59 feet at ISO 100. The SB-N7 is powered by AAA batteries and should be available in January 2013 for $159.95.

It looks like Nikon’s next camera announcement may be coming on October 24 – just prior to PhotoPlus 2012. The Nikon 1 V2 is the most likely candidate as a replacement for the current Nikon 1 V1. Recall that the Nikon 1 J2 was introduced back in August as a prelude to Photokina 2012.
