Nikon 1 V2 Mirrorless Camera Announced
Nikon’s first entry into the mirrorless camera realm has finally got its first round of evolution with the announcement of the new Nikon 1 V2. The new V2 has a beefier handgrip, a new mode dial and an pop-up flash. The Sensor has been upgraded to a super high-speed AF 14.25-megapixel CMOS sensor (up from 10.1 megapixels on the V1) coupled with a new Expeed 3A image processor.
Burst mode now runs up to 15fps with continuous AF. If you switch on the V2′s electronic shutter you can obtain speeds up to 60fps. The V2 features a new hybrid autofocus system which combines 73 phase-detection AF points and 135 contrast-detection AF points which promises faster shooting performance.
Along with the V2 announcement, Nikon has also introduced a new SB-N7 speedlight for the Nikon 1 system. Featuring a 120-degree tilting flash head, photographers can bounce the flash off walls to reduce the harsh effects of direct flash. It is powered by AAA batteries and available in black and white.
