SINGAPORE - When Nikon launched its latest Nikon 1 series of cameras last Wednesday, it started a new chapter in its storied past. As the optical and imaging company prepares to celebrate its 95th anniversary next year, its latest Nikon N1 series of cameras is said to be an innovative digital camera system that significantly alters common conception regarding digital camera imaging expression and incorporates functions that offer high added value.

Nikon calls its Nikon 1 range a completely new camera system. In what Nikon calls the "advanced camera with interchangeable lens" system, the Nikon 1 introduces new forms of imaging expression with a new super high-speed AF CMOS image sensor, new high-speed image-processing engine, EXPEED 3, and a new Nikon 1 mount lens system. The first two models of the Nikon 1 series - the Nikon 1 J1 and the Nikon 1 V1 - both feature faster image processing and superior reproduction characteristics through a combination of its proprietary CMOS image sensor and image-processing engine. Among interchangeable lens cameras with a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF), the Nikon 1 V1 is also said to be the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens digital camera, according to its research.
