I even clicked on the box to pretend to order it. It was legitimate . . . Short window, I guess.

I am seriously thinking about one of these as a travel camera...
gotta have a light and compact camera other than your cell phone.

One of the main uses of my V1 is for travel. It seems absurd that the V3 forces you to decide to use the EVF or the GPS because they share the same connection point. WTF was Nikon thinking? For now, I'm going to stay with the V1 plus it shares batteries with the D800.

I also noted that the low light performance of the V3 was not that good... Hmmmm
Physics due to small sensor. Trade-offs. The crazy thing is that the Nikon 1 glass is excellent. I can personally attest to the 6.7-13mm and 18.5mm as "great glass". The 32mm gets rave reviews too. Frustrating that we don't have a body to match.
I will have to go up to Toronto in the upcoming couple months and am tempted to spring for a V3 body only while there. Here in the US, Nikon is only shipping the full kit (body, EVF, grip) for $1200. Since the GPS is more important to me, I'd rather save some money and just buy the body and save ~ $300.

They're promoting this (Free FT-1 with purchase of a V3) again, on Nikon's site: Nikon 1 V3 Digital Camera | Interchangeable Lens Camera from Nikon

Today is Amazon's launch day for V3 sales. They're sold out.

They filled their quota with pre-orders... They do it on nearly every new Nikon product launch. :bi_polo:
DP Review have got some new sample pics from a user who got his V3 this weekend.

Looks tempting to upgrade from my V1 but will wait and see a few more reviews first.

Nice user review..., until it degraded into a battery argument!
I really like the look of the OLY ME10 over the V3. Wish they had integrated the EVF, looks awkward.

I downloaded a couple of ISO 800 shots from the DPReview nikon 1 forum, v3 NEF's. In my opinion, my v1 ISO 800 shots have much less noise than what I see in the downloaded v3 shots. Not a definitive comparison, but interesting.

I'm awaiting the professional user reviews . . . Not sure what direction Nikon is going . . .
