Of course these are not all the new features, faster and better is the AF, the hybrid function had already inspired me with the Nikon 1 J1. The V2 now stem 15fps, so the camera is faster than my D3200. 15fps is already in the professional sector. The most important and most enjoyable novelty. The PSAM control dial (Program Auto, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual), so can also be an ambitious Hobbyknipser what do with it.
Image Quality:
=============
Here are the most contradictory statements. I compare the pictures with 2 cameras which are very close together (Nikon D3200 / Canon 650D). In photography, there is always the difference visible and measurable. I'm trying to distinguish objective, I have only one 24 "monitor. I miss also the comparison with the small picture (unfortunately do not have FX system).
See For Nikon D3200 / Canon 650D very similar, the less light I continued to fall all the more the Nikon V2 back, night scenes, spaces without exposing here the system reaches its limits, I tested various settings, and advice from other Nikon V2 users get. Disable noise reduction, set Image Stabilizer to normal. And important to keep your hand steady. Longer exposure, the results are now satisfactory. In the dark, the Nikon D3200 is strongest. The photographing in the dark is the weak point of the V2, especially if you want to take pictures without flash. It becomes difficult using the viewfinder, extreme Bildrrauschen in the viewfinder makes it hard. That may be because the one lying here in a small monitor looks different as real DSLR cameras you do not look here through the lens. Also, the difference to the DX System D3200 and 650D is visible. Here you really have some experimentation. Did it still made too little pictures, I prefer portraits and shots do on the day. Photo prints 10-15 or 13-18 are probably not a problem, but at the monitor you can see the noise.
With light it already looks different again, here makes the part right mood. Above all, the VR 30-110 (telephoto), the really fun, I am at that time against this objective have not decided a Nikon 1 J1. I regret now we still have a Tamron AF 70-300mm 4-5.6 Di VC USD SP, which weighs more as the V2 and lens and GeLi (sunshade). The images are sharp crack, very well drawn, deep and have a nice visual contrast. Can compete with the DX System. (However, not as far as the functions of the settings).
Features:
============
The set includes 2 lenses 10-30 mm 30-110 mm & both are stabilized. In the small picture which is about a factor of 2.7
What should be about 27-81 mm and 81-297 mm then. Plus, there's a hood, looks like a cup and is easily compromised lens. Amazing how kompkat the whole still is. The camera still has a multifunction terminal. For GPS-Fi, lightning, micro etc. Here I find Nikon's strategy not so great, I would go this year the wireless adapter WU-1a bought for my D3200, this does not fit, because another terminals is used. Since I was not satisfied with the Adaper and its functions, I will not buy me new again. Better it would be to integrate this function the same, other cameras already offer Wi-Fi system. A camera strap is of course included.
Lens Lineup:
===============
Altogether, there are now 6 lenses for the Nikon 1 system, so far no foreign manufacturer. 2 fixed focal length 10 mm (27 mm Pancake UWW), 28.5 mm (50 mm). The days to come even a zoom lens without stabilizer, which is to be very compact. Then there is a PD lens 10-110 mm, for ambitious photographers.
Interesting is the FT1 mount adapter so can Nikon Lenses adapt. What is likely to be very interesting, because you so ultra telephoto zoom at its disposal, which have so priceless
likely. From the Tamron 70-300 mm would then come to focal lengths of about 190-810 mm. Imagine a light Strong lenses Tamron SP AF 17-50mm 2.8 for example. There are in the bay even adapters for Canon systems or waste glass from other manufacturers, however, all without AF. Then, if only the original FT1 adapter. Am still thinking whether I grow me this.
Positives:
========
+ Equipment
+ Weight & size (greatest asset)
+ Hybrid AF Focus
+ Adaptive System (for Nikon bayonet, should not be underestimated)
+ Battery life
Negatives:
========
- Image quality at night (low light)
- Seekers in the dark very squishy (not a real viewfinder)
- Optional accessories not compatible (biggest gripe)
I myself find it a pity that one example aware compatibility curtails the end customers will have to pay again. This applies to hot shoe and also the battery is new, besides, I can not use my WLAN Adapter WU-1a. The adapter has the same technology and size only the heater has been modified, just 6 months old. This is so compact, right here I would have gladly tried again because the images have fewer megapixels. All in all, I am still very surprised with regard to the image, the camera is faster than my DSLR and has many qualities that I value. Who can inspire for such a system, nevertheless should sometimes look at the size, the camera is really compact. I myself have large hands, you still think very handy, would recommend before buying the camera in hand to have had. For FX / DX users with large objective Park the FT1 adapter is certainly a good choice. The camera is also very light, making it possible to also enjoyable films.
A system camera should not be equated with a DSLR. I can not compare the racer with the SUV also, the SUV is out of the garage as a DSLR at many concerts or theater is taboo. Here I can use the camera sense I got all this fast focus. When photographing the claims may go very far apart, but the result of that, the camera shows the desired results very close together can be.
