Nikon 1 J2 Offers Updated LCD, New Creative Modes

The body of the camera is slightly different, now metallic with a less slippery texture than the sleek, composite J1. The J2 is compatible with 1 NIKKOR lenses, all very compact with a retracting design. Now that retraction will actually power the camera on and off. Rather than pushing the power button and extending the lens from its “rest” position, J2 shooters can simply extend the lens to turn the camera nikon coolpix s560 akku on. That’s a handy feature that might help aspiring street shooters catch their decisive moments.

A new Creative Mode on the J2’s nikon coolpix p5000 akku mode dial provides users with Panorama, Miniature, Soft, Backlighting and Selective Color processing modes. Creative types might find the J2’s new body colors appealing too. In addition to white, black, silver and pink, the J2 will be offered in red and orange options.

The recently launched Nikon J2 mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (ILC) left us scratching our heads as the new camera came with only two key upgrades over its J1 predecessor. The J2 nikon coolpix s51 akku is fitted with a higher-resolution 921k-dot LCD screen compared with the J1’s 460k dots, while a new Creative mode option has been added on the mode dial. This gives the users access to seven shooting modes such as Selective Color, Backlighting and Night Portrait, to name a few. The J2 now comes in two new colors, red and orange which are eye-catching and should appeal some of the more fashion-conscious shutterbugs.

Nikon also appears to be making its J-series cameras more affordable, too, as the estimated US pricing of the J2 is US$100 cheaper than that of the J1 nikon d2h akku when it was first released.

New 1 NIKKOR 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

Introduced with the J2 is a new 11-27.5mm wide angle zoom lens. It’s smaller than the existing 10-30mm zoom sold with many J1 kodak klic 7002 akku kits, offering a 30-74mm equivalent range thanks to the 1 system’s 2.7x crop factor. A new WP-N1 underwater case for the J1 and J2 is also introduced. Not compatible with the V1, the case will provide protection up to 40 feet underwater.
