The Nikon 1 series are high-speed[1] mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras with 60 frames per second (fps) continuous shooting speed, using Nikon 1-mount lenses and announced on 21 September 2011.[2] The series currently includes Nikon 1 V1, J1, J2,[3] and S1 with a 10-megapixel image sensor, the V2, J3 and AW1 with a 14-megapixel image sensor and further increased autofocus speed to 15 frames per second (fps),[4] and the 1 V3, J4 with a new 18-megapixel image sensor, further increased again world’s fastest autofocus speed to 20 fps, 120 fps HD slow-motion at 1280 x 720 and 1080/60p.[5] The J5 model added a 20.8MP sensor in 2015 and kept most other technical specifications the same as the J4 model.

At the time of announcement, Nikon claimed that it features the world's fastest autofocus, with 10 fps—even during videos—based on hybrid autofocus (phase detection/contrast-detect AF with AF-assist illuminator), as well as the world's fastest continuous shooting speed (60 fps) among all cameras with interchangeable lenses.[6] Slow-motion movies can be captured in up to 1200 fps with reduced resolution. Its inbuilt intervalometer enables time-lapse photography.

The smaller CX sensor considerably increases the depth of field by 2.90 stops (2.7 times crop factor) compared to a 35mm FX camera at the same angle of view and f-number.

Nikon 1 J1

Nikon developed an entirely new system of lenses and the Nikon 1-mount lens mount for the Nikon 1 series. These lenses are only compatible with 1-mount cameras. Nikon has not debuted a new lens mount since the F mount that routine users of the Nikon D series are accustomed to. Although the F-mount adapter FT1 enables the use of all F-mount compatible lenses, these lenses are meant to be portable and compact.[24] There are 12 Nikkor lenses specifically built to fit the Nikon 1-mount additionally to several manual focus lenses from Samyang.

Optional accessories

In addition to the already available lenses, flash, cases, GPS unit etc. Nikon presented at PDN PhotoPlus International Conference + Expo 2011 many forthcoming lenses, LED video and macro lights and video kits.[27]

Reception

Independent reviews[28][29][30] and image comparisons at all ISO speeds in JPEG[11] and additionally Raw[31] are available. Both of the initially released 1 series cameras were criticized for having DSLR-like prices.[32] DxO Labs awarded the J1 sensor an overall score of 56.[8][10]
