Camera giant Nikon has finally entered the mirrorless interchangeable lens (MIL) camera market with the Nikon 1.
Unlike conventional digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras that use a pentaprism and mirror, MIL cameras get rid of both to become smaller and lighter. MIL cameras offer a middle ground between light but entry-level compact cams, and powerful but heavy DSLRs.
Nikon cited the growing sales of MIL cameras in markets outside Asia as one main reason why the Nikon 1 cameras are being launched.
The two Nikon 1 models introduced are the V1 and J1. Both sport a 10.1-megapixel image sensor, Nikon's new Expeed 3 image processing engine and a 3-inch LCD display. The J1 is aimed at the consumer market with a built-in flash and comes in five colours of black, white, silver, red and pink.
