Discussion: New Nikon cameras announced. Big lenses for small sensor?

Share


Nikon just announced the new J1 and V1 mirrorless cameras with new 2,7 crop sensor. You can read the full news coverage at MirrorlessRumors.com. Nikon doesn’t offer a small normal kit lens like the [shoplink 25104]Panasonic 14-42mm X lens[/shoplink]. And the pancake is small yes, but neither fast (f/2.8) nor smaller than the [shoplink 16258]14mm f/2.5 lens[/shoplink]. If the purpose of Nikon was to use a smaller sensor to have smaller lenses than at first quick look I can say they completely failed. Of course the Nikon strengths  the huge advertising power and retailer network. Maybe they will sell well anyway. But there is nothing from that systems that makes me say….”WOW”! Also the price (599 for the J1 and 869 for the V1) is very high!

Is the new Nikon system a worthy Micro Four Thirds competiton?
