Nikon presents the new version of their mirrorless camera, the black Nikon 1 V2 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 and 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 Lens Kit. Just like the previous V1, it offers versatility without the bulk and weight of a DSLR--a lightweight, interchangeable-lens digital camera.
The V2 has a new, higher-resolution 14.2MP 13.2 x 8.8mm CMOS sensor. The Advanced Hybrid Autofocus System provides both phase (73-point) and contrast-detection (135-point) autofocus for much faster focusing and shooting at up to 60 frames per second (with AF locked). Without AF locked, maximum continuous shooting speed is 15fps.
The V2 captures stills in JPEG and RAW and video in the MOV format, with H.264/MPEG-4 compression. Integrated tools include a 3.0" LCD display and a 100% view electronic viewfinder with diopter adjustments. Command and feature buttons make the V2 very easy to use.
Motion Snapshot mode captures a succession of images with just one click. The V2 has impressive low light capabilities with a wide ISO range of 160-6400. Smart Photo Selector captures 20 shots with one press of the shutter button, and then selects the five best for you.

The bundled 1 NIKKOR VR
10-30mm (35mm equivalent: 27-81mm) f/3.5-5.6 lens is a CX-format
standard 3x zoom lens. Compact (2.3 x 1.7" / 5.8 x 4.3 cm) and
lightweight (4.1 oz / 116 g), the lens has Vibration Reduction (VR) to
combat the effects of camera shake. Its silent stepping AF motor (STM)
is ideal for shooting video. The lens' angle of view ranges from 29.4�
to 77�, and its minimum focus distance is 7.87" (20 cm). It has a 40.5mm
filter diameter. The 10-30mm is a versatile lens for applications
ranging from wide-angle landscapes to tight portrait shots. Three
aspherical lens elements ensure high image quality, even at the widest
aperture settings. The 10-30mm zoom range enables excellent capture of
fine detail at any focal length. Internal Focusing / IF technology
enables the compact, lightweight construction, as well as a close
focusing distance. A multi-layer lens coating helps reduce ghost and
flare to a negligible level.
Also included is the 3.6x zoom 1
NIKKOR VR 30-110mm (35mm equivalent: 81-297mm) f/3.8-5.6 lens. This lens
is ideal for isolating subjects from the background with clarity, and
also has Internal Focusing (IF) to maintain a compact size--even when
using the zoom. It also has Vibration Reduction (VR) to combat the
effects of camera shake. Its telephoto coverage makes it great for a
wide array of scene types, from sports to portraits. Enjoy superior
sharpness and color correction--even at the widest aperture. Nikon's
Super Integrated Coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible
level, and also assists in the creation of superior color balance and
reproduction. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass reduces chromatic
aberration to provide improved sharpness and color correction. The angle
of view ranges from 8.2� to 29.4�, the minimum focusing distance is
3.3' (1.0m), and the filter size is 40.5mm.
