Nikon 1 S1 pictures and hands-on

CES 2013: Brand new

Nikon's 1-series has witnessed a number of releases previously couple of several weeks, that has also introduced the most recent entry-level model, the Nikon 1 S1.?

Pocket-lint tried the most recent 1-series goods in the Nikon stand only at that year's Electronic Devices Show to get a handle on what this entry-level model could muster.

The 1-series has been doing a great job carving out its very own niche on the market. The United kingdom adverts focus heavily on its special shooting modes, but what we have been awaiting from Nikon is really a more coherent menu system which makes for a powerful consumer experience... and also the S1 appears like it might have cracked it.?

There is no primary mode dial to bother with. The S1 feels rather just like a compact camera people, and when you need to do wish to adjust configurations then you will find six primary tiles which cover shooting modes, playback, special shooting modes, movie capture, image processing and hang-up options.

Just a little menu digging is not unpredicted only at that level, so for point-and-shoot snappers we believe the S1 can make sense. And when you really need manual controls they're still available.

Just since this is the entry-level model does not mean it comes down no matter what to performance. The autofocus product is still very fast and responsive - we clicked some ballroom dancers on stage with little problem, even just in the limited light.

Ever fashion-conscious, the S1 can come outfitted in a number of colours, including black, whitened, pink, red-colored and khaki, plus you will see contacts to complement. We performed around using the whitened version, though did catch peek at the khaki and pink too which, frankly, we are just a little (ie, a great deal) less sure about.

It is rather simple and classy, it's well marketed, it's fast to reply and will also appeal to the stage-and-shoot user who?wants better-than-compact quality. Will still be not our most preferred compact system camera, however the S1 does turn the Nikon CSC ship inside a new and welcome direction.?
