Nikon 1 V2

The Nikon 1 V2 is a compact, high-speed mirrorless camera from Nikon’s 1 series. It uses the Nikon 1 mount and a CX-format CMOS sensor measuring 13.2 x 8.8 mm, delivering 14 effective megapixels (4,608 x 3,072). It records to SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards (including UHS-I) and supports Eye-Fi wireless cards.

Its autofocus is a hybrid system that combines phase-detection and contrast-detection, with an AF-assist lamp for quicker focusing. It can shoot continuously at up to 15 frames per second with AF, and up to 60 frames per second for up to 40 frames in high-speed mode.

Power comes from the Expeed 3A image processor, a faster engine designed for Nikon 1 cameras, offering rapid image processing up to about 850 megapixels per second.

Launched on October 24, 2012, the V2 followed the Nikon 1 V1 and was later succeeded by the Nikon 1 V3. The V3 adds an 18.4 MP sensor, built-in Wi‑Fi, Full HD video at 60 fps, 720p at 120 fps, 20 fps continuous AF, and 171 focus points for improved tracking.

Compared with the V1, the V2 offers a 14 MP sensor (up from 10.1 MP), better low-light performance, faster action capture, and a broader lens selection.
