    This series is entirely new which does not own any older feature but advance features. Equipped with better shooting qualities it is worth to give a try. These cameras have hybridAF system. This system allows the camera to combine phase and contrast detection methods. So you can capture fast moving images in a much better way in comparison to other cameras. This is a remarkable change done to the products. Also you can shoot with a speed of 60fps for better video quality. Along with this to expand your creativity Nikon offers you a complete set of application that can be used to customize the photos. The first is a movie editor called as Short Movie Creator. It has a very easy to use interface where you can create your own movie by dragging and dropping videos on it. You can create a set of video and add them up to make a single DVD out of it. Other than this it is possible to add visual effects and music in the background. Like other traditional tools Nikons Short Movie Creator is also very effective. Later on you can share all the created movies on your favorite Video sharing site. One more tool which is called as ViewNX 2 gives you a number of option to edit your images. It is a complete image manager tool.

    Nikon J1 - Starts at Rs. 43, 950


    Nikon J1 might be an entry level but the features are provided for professional work. I found a huge list of features on the official site of Nikon which I trimmed to the most needed part. The list of features is really high which easily convince a consumer to buy this camera or not. If you are in much technical reading then you can have a look on the features list. Nikon J1 is the youngest model range mirrorless Nikon cameras 1. It is officially recognized as the fastest camera in the world and is capable of delivering up to 60 full-size images per second at 10 megapixel resolution and shoots video at up to 1,200 frames per second. There are number of colors available in J1 model. As seen from the performance, the camera has an average screen resolution of 460,000 pixels, different amazing speed burst shooting and fairly small size. I am glad of the company and the refusal to participate in the megapixel race. Nikon has a J1 with 10 megapixels, the pixels of the matrix and hence more and more sensitive.

    The camera body is rectangular, rounded on the sides of the face that resembles the design of the old rangefinder cameras. This device looks modern and beautiful. The top of the camera is only one button on-off button, shutter button and the video recording. It works from any shooting mode. On the back of the camera is a 3-inch display and controls the device. There is a comfortable rubber grip for comfortable island. Still no hands on the camera there, so even a small focus will be very useful for a comfortable grip. The screen quality is good. The camera is built on a new standard size sensor. Nikon calls the new crop factor CX. Flagship company called matrix FX, and sensors with crop factor APS-C called the DX. In addition the company introduced the lens zoom lenses NIKKOR VR 30-110 mm f / 3,8-5,6, the lens-NIKKOR VR pancake 10mm f/2.8 and a powerful zoom with a versatile electric NIKKOR VR 10-100 mm F / 4,5 - 5,6. The latter is also recommended for shooting video.

    Nikon can do a J1 photos at up to 60 frames per second in full resolution of 10 megapixels, and shooting into the buffer starts when the shutter button is half-squeezed.

    Nikon V1 - Starts at Rs. 29,950


    Nikon V1 is an advance camera which offers a higher feature than J1. If you are really serious about photography then you must go for the same and also care to choose the right lens kit for it. It offers you 60 frames per second to capture high quality moving images. It is possible to capture twenty images from a single click and distill the five most beautiful, all obviously automatically (this is what Nikon called Smart Photo Selector). Or create a miniclip suggest that while we are busy doing other things. This is called the Motion Snapshot, a shooting mode that allows you to associate with every shot a movie that captures the slow second before and after the second click. Ideal when it comes to your child that you take out his first candle.

    Re: Nikon J1 and V1 Camera

    Another good feature of Nikon V1 is selection of photos. Need to hold down the shutter button and hold the camera in space. The camera will select the top five (in her opinion) shots. Selection is based on the composition of photos, focal length, and position of certain individuals and the exposure of people pictures. And, of course, Nikon and Nikon V1 1 J1 are able to shoot videos in Full HD resolution at 30 frames per second (progressive) and 60 frames per second (interlaced). Shooting HD-video at 60 fps is possible with progressive scan. But the interesting thing - slow-motion modes. Both cameras allow you to save clips at up to 1,200 frames per second, however, in the appropriate resolution of 320 x 120 pixels. If you increase the resolution to 640x240, you get the results in 400 fps - a wide open space to capture events in slow motion. There is no doubt that the characteristics of the devices were impressive even by professional standards.

    Features:
    • Motion Snapshot: The Motion Snapshot has brought to life new photographic, cinematic expression perfect for capturing your precious moments.
    • Smart Photo Selector: When shooting fast-moving subjects, you may find it difficult to keep them within the frame or you may miss a fantastic photo opportunity due to the subject's unpredictable movements.

    • High-resolution, high-contrast electronic viewfinder: The Nikon 1 V1 features an ample 1.44M-dot high-resolution electronic viewfinder with approx.100% frame coverage. The exclusive color filter prevents color breakup. The EVF effectively and seamlessly reproduces moving subjects.
    • LCD monitor with crystal clear resolution: The Nikon 1 V1 is equipped with an approx. 920k-dot, 3-inch LCD monitor with protection glass and a wide viewing angle.
    • A super-silent, electronic shutter: When shooting with the electronic shutter, you can change the settings to turn off the electronic sounds of the shutter, AF and self-timer. Now you can shoot in stage theaters and other quiet settings without making a sound.
    • High-performance dust reduction: Nikon V1 uses Image Sensor Cleaning, a vibrating image sensor that removes dust by shaking it off.

    • Battery Life: Still images approx. 400, or 35 0 with SB-N5 and Movies approx. 120 minutes of HD footage at 1080/60i

    Conclusion

    For the fastest recording footage is better to use SDXC-cards. Nikon is also economical in the image processing capabilities directly into the camera. Only the image cropping and trimming of films are possible. As image enhancement, it has only the Active D-Lighting done in the camera. After all, can be alternatively or additionally store JPEG and RAW files, so that is a professional photo editing of recordings on the PC nothing in the way. Low and noise and peaceful feature allow you to capture photos of your choice.

    Later on you are provided with full featured editing tools also that can be used to customize the photos. All in all both models are nice and comes top of like list. But there might some concern with the price and there is no update yet on the same. Nikon J1 and V1 are good alternative for DSLR cameras.
