  • Abstract:  As is tradition, InsideHW is trying once again to aid you in the chase for the new camera to carry along during the summer holidays. It’s all but easy to opt for a particular model that would suit you perfectly. This is almost never the case anyway, b...

  • The V1 has a light and compact design that does put less pressure on your wrist during long video shots, but its lack of an articulated LCD and focus ring don't make for a very fun video recording experience. The camera does have a responsive and sile...

  • Dedicated electronic viewfinder. Hot shoe for flash. Two lenses are included in the box
  • No popup flash. Small proprietary CX sensor. Horrid manual focus

  • Eye-level electronic viewfinder. Fast, accurate autofocus. Silent operation. Expansion port. Excellent high ISO performance.
  • Expensive. No built-in flash. Very limited lens selection. Few physical controls
  • The Nikon V1 is priced like a high-end mirrorless camera and delivers solid performance, but doesn't offer the level of controls or lens options that demanding photographers require....

  • Abstract:  Forum Login When it was announced in September of 2011, the Nikon 1 System somehow passed me by. I saw the press announcement, looked at the size of the sensor and the specs, and thought – not my cup of tea. That's OK. My interest and needs are not ...

  • Good still image quality, RAW shooting capability, Builtin viewfinder
  • Expensive, Optional grip blocks battery, Loss of AF with FT1 adapter
  • The J1 and V1 share much of the same hardware for still image and video production, along with menus, shooting modes and almost every other quantifiable feature. Both produce good still and video image quality, with decent high ISO noise performance con...

  • Beautiful LCD screen/EVF, Quality photos/movies with enough light, Fast focusing
  • Simply too expensive
  • We really have difficulty recommending the V1 as tested simply because it’s wildly expensive, and the results don’t measure up to the competition....

  Published: 2012-01-04, Author: Philip , review by: popphoto.com

  • With the 1 system cameras, Nikon seems to have lost focus on what has made it such a great camera manufacturer. The company that always put an emphasis on producing extremely sharp lenses and cutting-edge, rugged camera bodies has decided to target a lowe...
