Nikon D600 is a 24.3 mega pixel CMOS full frame (FX) sensor camera with a 100% viewfinder coverage and can capture Full HD. It has the same EXPEED 3 image-processing engine built into high-end Nikon D-SLRs (D4, D800, D800E) for superior definition and image quality. The Nikon D600 would be available for US $2100 for body only and US $2700 with the Kit (24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR) Lens. Both Amazon and B&H has listed the Nikon D600 for pre-order on their online store, the product would start shipping from 18th september, 2012 onwards.

Nikkor 18.5mm f/1.8 Lens for CX Format is designed to give the Nikon 1 series digital camera a normal angle-of-view, which mimics the natural perspective of the human eye. The ultra-fast maximum aperture of f/1.8 makes this lens a great choice for low-light photography, and when shot wide open, is capable of exceptionally shallow depth of field. The lens is available to pre-order for US $187

Nikon Communication Unit UT-1 supports more efficient image transfer over Ethernet and wireless networks and also to control the camera remotely from a computer when connected to digital-SLR cameras. The UT-1 is compatible with the Nikon D4, D800, and D800E cameras for professional and advanced amateur photographers, as well as the D7000 for photo hobbyists. The lens is available for pre-order, though the price is not listed.
