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
about the specification can be found below.
