Nikon has unveiled its latest addition to its 1 series of mirrorless cameras. The compact-yet-powerful Nikon 1 V3 succeeds the already popular V2, featuring an 18.4-megapixel sensor, built-in WiFi, 1080/60p video capability, and a brand-new image processing chip.
The V3 is fit for both amateurs and professionals alike, as it can continuously shoot at up to 20 frames per second with autofocus, making it the fastest rapid-fire shot rate for a mirrorless camera. It also has 720p slow-motion video recording at up to 120 frames per second, 171 “densely packed” focus points that makes the Nikon 1 V3 quicker in tracking moving objects compared to DSLRs, and a 3-inch tilting LCD touch panel.
Its full kit comes with a 10-30mm lens, viewfinder, and grip right off the bat for $1,200 when it goes on sale in April. The Nikon 1 V3 also works with two new 1 NIKKOR lenses: a 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 PD-Zoom and 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6, which cost $300 and $1,000, respectively.
