The technical data (4-5.6 weak!) Are indeed rather daunting. After six months satisfied with the S1 outweighed facing an impending major travel curiosity, also to finally take advantage of the video capabilities of the camera (kit lens and fixed focal length have no stabilizer; only the S2 switches at least the electronic stabilization). If the lighting conditions are right, the lens allows excellent shots. Very sharp over the entire focal length, very good color fidelity (ED glasses), VR works quickly and reliably. No decisive point, but still worth mentioning: objective is very well made and radiates an enormous value from; can be found at this level no longer often. Overall, strong buy recommendation for fans of Nikon. 1
