Nikon Introduces Another ILC – the Nikon 1 S2

Nikon is on the roll these past few weeks releasing a number of compact system cameras one after another. Today the company is introducing another interchangeable lens camera that offers the same level of performance but a body that would appeal to a younger audience.

The Nikon 1 S2 is the newest member of the company’s 1 S-series ILC and features a 14.2MP CMOS sensor with no low-pass filter and comes equipped with an Expeed 4A image-processing engine and an ISO range of 200-12800.

Just like other members of the 1-series, the S2 offers blistering autofocus speeds thanks to its hybrid AF System featuring 135 focus points with 73 phase-detection points delivering shooting speeds of up to 20 frames per second with continuous autofocus and up to 60 frames per second for fixed focus.

The device also comes with an F-button that provides users with instant access to the camera’s feature menu making it easy and convenient to make quick changes to its settings. Nikon is also marketing the S2 as a camera system for beginners, most specifically Instagram users by adding several studio quality filters into the mix.

There's also a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD display at the back, but it's not touchscreen. The S2 is also capable of capturing 1920 x 1080/60p video and comes with advanced movie functions such as Fast Motion, Jump Cut and a 4-second Movie stimulate user's creative intent.

The Nikon 1 S2 will be offered in different colour options including black, white, red and yellow. It will be available starting June for $449.95 and will be bundled with an 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.
