N&R: Nikon 1 not dead?

Recently, there was speculation that Nikon has stopped development of the Nikon 1 series of mirrorless cameras. Nikon has explicitly denied this, and there's a bunch of lens patents to back up this claim.

Meanwhile, Phottix has announced a Canon RT compatible version of its Indra 500 TTL studio flash head.

Other than that, a quiet week.
