But sometimes I reach for even easier equipped 1 S1, and for the following reasons:
The 1 S1 is small and light, and with the supplied lens narrow 1Nikkor 11-27.5mm f / 1: 3.5-5.6 to fit in a jacket pocket or in the pocket of summer trousers.
The zoom lens 1Nikkor 11-27.5mm delivers amazingly good pictures.
In wide-angle, it exceeds my opinion sharpness even the fixed focal length lens 10mm 1Nikkor f / 1: 2.8 - not in the center of the image, but at the edges and in the corners. Even the fixed focal length lens 1Nikkor 18.5 mm f / 1: 1.8 provides only a slightly better image quality than the kit lens - which is why you really do not need the two fixed focal lengths.
I attribute this high quality of the kit lens back among other things that it contains not only an aspherical lens, but also a high-quality ED glass lens.
This objective has now been awarded the TIPA award in 2013 as best.
The image sensor has indeed not 14, but only 10 megapixels - but that can be an advantage, if the subject to be photographed has also shadow settings. For then joins with the 1 S1 photos taken on far less noise as in the 1 V2 with its 14 megapixel sensor.
As with the D800E has built the sensor without low-pass filter, which should also be of benefit to the image quality. Although I have read that could theoretically increase the risk of moiré due to the lack of low-pass filter, but which I have not noticed anything yet.
It is also gratifying that we again can set an ISO value of 100 in the 1 S1.
The 1 S1 can also the new 32mm portrait lens 1Nikkor f / 1: 1.2 take full advantage. Nikon has this firmware Update 1.10 for the 1 S1 provided, which causes you can also operate the focus ring this lens manually - just like the 1 V2.
This lens is twice as expensive as the camera - but it really offers the highest image quality for Nikon 1 cameras.
In short: The 1 S1 is as chic, small and good Always-In-Camera enriching for me.
