Nikon 1 V3 Is Now Shipping

Nikon 1 V3 Is Now ShippingThe Nikon 1 V3 is one of Nikon’s newer mirrorless camera models. The camera was announced back in March and the good news is that if you were thinking about getting your hands on it, reports are now saying that the camera is currently being shipped. Interested photographers will be able to get their hands on it by heading on over to Amazon’s website or B&H, although the latter does state that it is expected to begin shipping on the 24th of April.

It should also be noted that B&H is throwing in a free Nikon FT1 mount adapter, so if you don’t mind waiting an extra week, perhaps this might be a pretty good deal. That being said if you missed our earlier coverage of the camera’s launch, here’s a quick recap for you guys. The Nikon 1 V3 will pack an 18.4MP sensor. The camera will also come with built-in WiFi connectivity and will be able to record Full HD video.

For those who want to experiment with something more creative, the Nikon 1 V3 can also record in slow-motion at 720p at 120fps. Nikon has also included a new image processor with the camera and it will now be able to shoot photos continuously at 20fps which could come in handy if you’re looking to snap action shots.

The camera will also come with a 3-inch touchscreen display that can be tilted so that you can get some pretty interesting angles, and will come bundled with a NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM kit lens, assuming that the kit lens bundle is what you were after. In terms of design, Nikon has made some changes over its predecessors, with its grip being less protruding, but other than that it is still a pretty small and compact device.

Nikon Coolpix S810c runs on Android

nikon-coolpix-s810cA digital camera with an operating system that one would normally find on a smartphone? That would definitely sound as though the geek who spoke this had not yet slept through his hangover the night before if this were to happen a decade back, but in this day and age, just about anything is possible. So too, should one not doubt the existence of the Android totin’ Nikon Coolpix S810c digital camera.

The Nikon Coolpix S810c is a compact digital camera that comes equipped with Google’s Android operating system alongside built-in Wi-Fi connectivity which will combine advanced functions with ease of use.

There is also a newly adopted comment function that enables users to add their very own comments, including their impression of the scene, right after the shutter is released, allowing you to remain in the moment for as long as possible, since it might be possible to convey in words right there and then on the spot.

Nikon 1 J4 announced

nikon-j-14When it comes to digital cameras, there are just so many models out there in the market, that it can get rather difficult to figure out just which particular model would suit your needs best. Not only that, the performance margins between rival models can be so small, sometimes it could be the advertising or simple customer loyalty that leads you to your purchase decision. Those who are more objective in their decision making process and are in the market for a lightweight digital camera that performs well might want to consider picking up the Nikon 1 J4 of course.

The Nikon 1 J4 has been dubbed to be able to track moving subjects with the world’s fastest continuous shooting with AF tracking, delivering excellent image quality along the way that makes full-scale photography possible. The new Nikon 1 J4 would be the latest member of the Nikon 1 family, where it sports support for interchangeable lenses as well that is capable of proposing new forms of imaging expression.

For starters, the Nikon 1 J4 happens to be a model that delivers performance with tracking of moving subjects that exceeds that of digital SLR cameras, in addition to advanced shooting functions alongside excellent image quality. All of this makes full-scale photography possible, and to think that it has been specially incorporated in a compact and lightweight body – now how about that for progress?

There are 105 focus points with phase-detection AF and 171 focus points with contrast-detect AF thrown into the mix to make sure that whatever you capture always looks at their very best. Support for high-speed continuous shooting at the world’s fastest continuous shooting rate of approximately 20 fps with AF tracking is also part of the deal, and there is the Best Moment Capture mode that comes in handy whenever it gets difficult to gauge the best time to press the shutter-release button.

Hardware specifications include a 18.4MP super high-speed AF CMOS sensor with no low-pass filter, and the latest EXPEED 4A image-processing engine. Any takers?

Nikon 1 J4 Is Official

Nikon 1 J4 Is OfficialJust yesterday we reported that a recent photo and specs of the alleged Nikon 1 J4 camera was leaked online, and for those who are interested in Nikon’s mirrorless lineup, you might be interested to learn that the Nikon 1 J4 has since been officially announced, although at this point in time pricing and availability in the US remains unknown, although if it is anything like its successor, it could be priced around the $600-$800 region.

As per the rumors, the Nikon 1 J4 does indeed pack an 18MP sensor, an 18.4MP sensor to be exact. In fact it’s actually the same sensor that is being used by the Nikon 1 V3, but it’s also an upgrade over the Nikon 1 J3’s 14.3MP sensor, but then again megapixels aren’t everything but we guess from a marketing perspective, it does matter.

The camera will also feature Nikon’s Expeed 4A processing engine with a hybrid autofocus system and a continuous shooting speed of 20 frames per second. For those who are interested in its video capabilities, the camera will also be able to capture videos in 1920×1080 resolution at 60fps, but it is possible to go 120fps if you’re willing to drop to a HD resolution instead.

The Nikon 1 J4 will also feature built-in WiFi that will allow users to wireless transfer photos or videos, and interestingly enough, Nikon has also changed the memory card format of the camera so that it will now support the microSD card format as well, even though SD cards appear to be the standard for cameras at the moment. We’re not sure why but if you have an microSD card lying around, you should be able to use it with the camera.

Like we said pricing and availability remain unknown for now, but for the Japanese version of the camera, it is expected to be shipped with a 10-30mm lens.

Nikon Coolpix S810c Announced, Runs On Android

Nikon Coolpix S810c Announced, Runs On AndroidCameras, for the most part, run on their own proprietary software, although given the open nature of Android and the apps available for the platform, we’ve seen how some camera manufacturers have decided to integrate Android into their cameras, perhaps presenting photographers with a more familiar user interface.

That being said, it seems that Nikon is trying their hand at another Android camera with the recently announced Nikon Coolpix S810c, which we guess would be the successor of the Coolpix 800c from back in 2012.

The camera itself is a pretty basic digital compact camera which will pack a 16MP sensor under the hood. It will also come with a 12x digital zoom lens, a 3.7-inch display, geotagging, vibration reduction, Full HD video recording, and even Google Play support.

There’s even a pretty interesting feature where photographers can add their own comments to their photo, perhaps to note a particular moment when the photo was taken, or perhaps to explain why they chose to take that particular shot, and so on. The camera will also run on Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and will come with WiFi for wireless transferring of photos.

Priced at $350, the Nikon Coolpix S810c is expected to see a release around May, so if you’re in the market for a new camera, perhaps the Coolpix S810c could be what you were looking for.
