Nikon 1 V2 for Photographer
I kept thinking that a mirrorless
camera should have what DSLRs have in advance, the phase detect focus system.
But wait, Nikon have it.
Nikon 1 V2 is a 14 MP mirrorless
camera with hybrid focus system. It means that the camera is able of focusing
with the phase detect system, also by using contrast detect. That’s why
dpreview called it “a
more photographer friendly”.
Its design is very unique from
the outside. The camera is very thin and comes with a hot shoe, though the
built in flash doesn’t covered when flipped. It comes with a dials button and
on the top. The control button on the backside now also works as a shortcut
button to AF lock, white balance, burst mode, and flash mode. This is unlike
Nikons DSLRs.
There is Best Moment Capture
Mode, an advanced creative mode that allows individuals to use Slow View to
slow down a moment they are capturing, in real time. By simply pressing the
shutter button halfway down when focused, users can capture live action
(approx. 1.33 seconds), while the view of the subject is displayed at five times
slower than normal speed (approx. 6.66 sec). The action is replayed repeatedly
as long as the shutter-release button is half-pressed. Fast action sports and
events are transformed to slow motion right on the LCD screen.
Nikon 1 cameras are using 1
NIKKOR lenses. Nikon 1 accessories, as well as F-Mount NIKKOR lenses when
connected to the FT-1 Mount Adapter will be compatible. It also comes better in
lowlight with the new optional SB-N7 speedlight. The new speedlight is
easy-to-use and travel friendly, and also uses common AAA batteries. The
speedlight provides a guide number of 18 meters/59 feet (at ISO 100), as well
as a supplied external wide flash adapter for wider shooting coverage.
Nikon 1 V2 camera with the
10-30mm lens already available since late November 2012 for the suggested
retail price (SRP) of $899.95*. The SB-N7 speedlight will be available in
January 2013 and will have a suggested retail price (SRP) of $159.95*. More

7 Best Camera Under $150 (Always update every 3 months)
Update January 2012 (Always update every 3 months)
What if you wanted to buy a camera, not more than $ 150 (Rp. 1500.000,- in Indonesia). May be for your family wedding or sudden occasion. You wanted to buy a pocket camera cause sure you need an easy use, and easy to go camera. There’s a bunch of brands but you considering the famous brands because it’s “trustable”. May be because it won’t be so hard to find service center either, in case you got something wrong with your camera.
For sure you want the best of all. But since the best means different to different persone, let see what best for you.
In my research, you will find more than 10 camera from famous brands, but I pick 7 best for you to choose. Before comparing, lets figure it out one by one. Anyway, the order list here I made by myself based on my experience and taste of camera. I will tell you short description for these cameras about its best features comes within the camera, and see the the comparation table below it for more objective comparation. I’m focused on how the camera will produce a good picture and good to handle. Those feature such effects etc I would do it on computer. So, here they are.
1. Canon Canon ELPH 100 HS (Ixus 115 HS)
Since the Ixus family is now above $150, the only choice from canon now comes to Power Shot series, the PS A4000 IS.
The camera does come with a little bit odd interface. 16 MP for this tiny sensor and 8x zoom would surprisingly attract the market people. It shoots well in good light but struggle for lowlight. For you to know, as far as I know the PS A series are suffer for speed, may stay in the bottom list for shutter lag and autofocus works slow. This will make your picture sometimes a bit hit and mess. It does start-up very fast anyway.
It designed smoothly well, but the button behind the camera is hard to push since it’s manufactured as flat as the body. No mode button so you’ll have to go a set button and find it, but its easier to take video since the video button are exposed. Well if you are canon lovers I suggest you go find an Ixus 115 HS left in the store or spend $35 more for the Ixus 125 HS.
2. Panasonic FH7 (FS22)
Pana’s always good in speed, most of its camera have a very slight shutter lag and very fast startup. That because this 16 MP camera equipped with Venus Engine IV, makes it work very fast. It also as user friendly as its competitor above. It also have a sharp image and good color. The unique of this camera is it has a 60s slowest shutter speed, makes you able of taking stunning firework pictures. Leica lens start from 28mm wide angle end at 112mm (4x zoom). Touch autofocus for specific frame location focusing.
Unfortunately this fast camera has small aperture from 3.3 wide and 6.5 maks zoom. This compensates the shutter to take a little bit longer shutter (hate dark room).
3. Nikon Coolpix S4300
I always love Nikon’s pictures. It always does handle contrast and color outstandingly. It equipped with very wide zoom start from 26mm (widest among all) and end at 156mm (6x zoom). Touch autofocus for specific frame location focusing.
This 16 MP camera has a bit slight aperture at wide angle (F3.5 - F6.5).
4. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W620
This 14 MP camera comes with their BIONZ processor, makes it powerful in processing images. This is the only camera in this class comes with panorama feature.
If just it comes with image stabilization which is I think must for pocket camera, this one will look nicer.
5. Samsung PL170
What should I say, the company makes the camera unique with front LCD. As many people wish to take a good self portrait, this front LCD would be very useful. It also comes with Schneider-Kreuznach lens, to assure you a sharp picture.
6. Kodak EasyShare M575
This 14 MP camera also comes with panorama feature. Its “share” button allows you to upload images easily to YouTube, Facebook, Flickr and Kodak's Gallery site.
No image stabilizer.
7. Olympus VR-310
Not so famous in this class, this 14 MP camera comes with an outstanding wide to zoom lens (24-240). Unfortunately I never saw a sharp picture taken with a long zoom lens pocket camera.
8. Fujifilm Finepix JZ100

Each superiority and dissuperiority :
What if you wanted to buy a camera, not more than $ 150 (Rp. 1500.000,- in Indonesia). May be for your family wedding or sudden occasion.

8. Fujifilm Finepix JZ100
This one is quite satisfying, so I put it in since now (jan 2013). Fujifilm is one of the most known in the world of filming
and documentation, you see there’s a lot of film supported by Fujifilm. They
don’t make DSLRs but their technology in camera sensors is well known as one of
the best, the EXRs sensors.
At $150 there’s three choice of pocket camera, I’ll pick the
newest in early 2012, Fujifilm FinePix JZ100. Except if you have special needs
of taking photo under water, take the FinePix XP30. The funny thing about this
camera I choose is that there I no white balance feature in the camera.
Probably the company thought that its rarely used by the people, indeed.
This 14 MP camera is already equipped with optical image
stabilizer to makes sure the camera takes sharp images. It also have a stunning
wide lens that start from 25 to 200 mm (8x zoom) and 5 cm macro range. It means
you can take picture of an object from the closest of 5 cm distance. Its
aperture is quite wide, F2.9 - F5.9. The movie feature is already HD 1280x720
at 30 fps.
Though, the camera works slow with continuous drive of 1,2
fps. Work slow is one of Fuji’s camera problems, however the camera takes pictures
with natural color..To let you compare these products more objectively, read table here on dpreview.com.

Match it to your character. Every camera have its own superiority and lack. Pick the camera as the superiority match better for your character and purpose:
- If you are "picture quality" fanatic, I suggest you'd have the Nikon S4300
- If you want a longlasting look of a camera, still with good photo and video result you'd choose Panasonic FH7 (fast, good for a documenter), or Olympus VR-310.
- If you love narcistic photos, get a unique Samsung PL 170.
- Want to have the cheapest one, still with good result of picture and video? May be your choise would fall to Sony DSC W-620.

Nikon D5200 Stunning Improvement
Nikon D5200 now equipped with a 24MP APS-C Sensor from Sony, this the same used in Sony’s new DSLR now. It’s not stopped there; Nikon put the new EXPEED-3 image processor inside the body. If you ever know that most of the reviewer and photographer agreed that D7000 results the best image quality, this one claimed better (a few better according to snapsort.com). This is the result of both new processor and sensor.
As the class of the camera now is above the D5100 (still under D7000), Nikon adds useful feature to the camera. Iso from 100 to 6400 (expandable to 25600), 39-focus point, and a vari-angle TFT monitor with 170° viewing angle.
The video feature can record video up to 30 minute, and this one can keep the focus during movie recording, keep the object on the screen on focus. Yes, most of the dslr camera nowadays equipped with video mode. It affected the no in-body focus motor, since the new lenses some using the ultrasonic lenses which are very quite that the motor rotation sound will not be recorded on video. No old lenses will be able of auto focusing though. This is another interesting feature, you can control the camera and transfer the image to your android smartphone, with some application that you can download from Google Play™ and the Apple App Store™. I suppose Nikon realize the trend of gadget "data share and remote" feature will become a must feature in the next digital era. One step forward from Nikon. However, many of the control function will have to be accessed from the "unhandy" menu button. Though, Nikon set a "Fn" button under the flash button to gain access to some feature, I'm still wonder why Nikon don't make rear button as shortcut to many control menu. You can set the Fn button to reach one of these control menu function:
• Image
quality/size
• ISO sensitivity • White balance • Active D-Lighting • HDR (High dynamic range mode) • + NEF (RAW) • AF-area mode |
• Live View
• AE-AF lock • AE lock only • AE lock (Hold) • AF lock only • AF-ON |
For Eu: €920/UK: £820 I think this is worth.
