  Its 10-30mm focal range (35mm equivalent: 27-81mm) can cover various shooting situations. The built-in Vibration Reduction unit ensures steady stills and movies, and Nikon’s Stepping Motor offers super-quiet autofocus performance — which is especially handy when filming.

 

 

  The Nikon V1 is so new and different it's hard to wrap our mind around it. At first glance, it's another mirror-less interchangeable lens camera in a sea of those cameras, albeit Nikon's long-anticipated first entry into the category. The sensor size is roughly twice as small as those found in entry-level APS-C DSLR cameras and smaller than those found in Micro Four Thirds cameras, even though it&39s larger than any sensor found in a compact camera.

  

   Together with the smaller sensor, Nikon has added all sorts of interesting and unheard of features into the V1. It shoots at a rate of 60 frames per second in AF-S mode (the speed is 60fps, but the maximum number of shots you can get in one burst is 30, so you're effectively shooting and getting up to a maximum of 30 frames per half-second at one time). Up to 10fps if you're shooting in the more reliable AF-A mode (to put that into perspective, Nikon&39s top of the line D3s DSLR shoots up to 9fps)
