Nikon 1 - With Mirrorless

Nikon finally launched a "Nikon 1".
Consists of two bodies and three lenses, includes an adapter to allow use of Nikon F-mount SLR lenses.

Nikon has put the small one-inch 10.1MP sensor in the camera.
This is half the Micro Four Thirds sensor size, and roughly four times the size of ordinary compact camera's sensor.

One of the best features of large sensors is that they allow images with shallow depth of field, an image where the subject is sharp and the background blurred,
for example, Coupled with the new lens is rather slow, you will not be able to get much separation.

There are two versions.
J1 V1 small and luxurious.
J1 is a small thing.
Hardly bigger than a decent compact, and shoots stills at 10fps, 1080p video, and has a maximum ISO 3200.

V1 is much more interesting.
By adding the viewfinder 1.4 million dots, shoe accessory that works with a microphone, or an optional GPS unit flash.
V1 also has an AF mode hybrid that uses both phase and contrast detection for high speed and good low-light accuracy.

V1 will also shoot photos while you are still recording a video, Which leads to a rather interesting feature Snapshot attention motion,
It "brings together the image is still frozen with a slow-motion movement set to the built-in audio soundtrack."

In the lens, lineup consists of (27mm equivalent) 10mm ƒ2.8 pancakes, 10-30mm (27-81mm equivalent) ƒ3.5-5.6 and 30-100mm (81-297mm equivalent) ƒ3.8-5.6.
This is sloooow.
Even when the F-mount adapter arrives, you may not want to use your super-fast lens SLR, with a crop factor of 2.7x, a 50mm lens you own a nice ƒ1.4 will become almost useless ƒ1.4 135mm.


Lastly, price.
With 10-30mm lens J1 will cost $ 650 and $ 900 V1.
