Nikon 1 V2 reviews:
The Nikon 1 V2 captures images of very high quality. Noise is kept to a minimum and only becomes disturbing at ISO 3200 in very low light. More about the image quality of Nikon 1 V2 you can read on photographyblog.com website. The experts of this website conclude:
Nikon have clearly gone back to the drawing board in order to differentiate the V2 from the entry-level J1 model, with the V2 now offering an attractive combination of speed, portability, image quality and handling that’s geared more to the serious photographer, rather than to the consumer upgrading from a point and shoot compact.
Another Nikon 1 V2 review comes from techradar.com website. The experts of this website noted that one of the biggest differences between the Nikon 1 V2 and the V1 is the addition of a mode dial on the top of the camera. This allows quick changes between the cameras various exposure modes. More about this and about handling of Nikon 1 V2 you can read on this review.
