Nikon 1 series hands on

With Micro Four Thirds cameras already into their second or third generations, Nikon is so late to the ‘mirrorless’ party its rivals are already tucking into their ‘morning after’ fry-up.

But after much deliberating the ‘Big N’ has finally entered the fray with its Nikon 1 series. Led by captain V1 (left, £830 with 10-30mm lens) and lieutenant J (right, £550 with 10-30mm lens), the series debuts a new lens mount and claims to be the ‘world’s fastest and most intelligent camera system’.
