Several key camera firmware and software updates recently issued by Nikon fix a variety of bugs and should bring an improved user experience for photographers. In all, the updates cover the Nikon V1 mirrorless camera, the professional Nikon D4 digital SLR, and the Capture NX 2 application that's available to accompany the company's various...
Since its launch a year ago with the V1 and J1 compact system cameras, Nikon's nascent 1-mount has faced a challenge shared by several of its mirrrorless competitors: a rather limited selection of glass. The Japanese camera manufacturer has today indicated an awareness of the problem, though, and shown itself to be...
An announcement from sensor provider Aptina last week suggests that there could be competition on the horizon for Nikon's 1-series cameras, as well as Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 fixed-lens compact. Aptina has revealed that it is now shipping samples of its new AR1011HS image sensor, which would appear to be...
Nikon may have just announced a brand-new 1-series camera model, the Nikon J2, but it hasn't forgotten about owners of its first-gen 1-series cameras. The Japanese camera giant just released updated firmware for both 1-series models announced a little under a year ago.

If you're shooting with the Nikon D800, D800E, or D7000 digital SLRs, or the Nikon 1 V1 compact system camera, you'll want to take a careful look at all of your EN-EL15 battery packs.

Choosing a smaller sensor, the Nikon V1 didn't earn a lot to praise from the spec hounds at its introduction, but Nikon was aiming at a smaller system overall, including lenses. They certainly achieved that, while maintaining excellent image quality and including impressively fast autofocus speed. Though many were disappointed with the smaller sensor, our test results show the...
Nikon got into the mirrorless camera game near the end of 2011, and released three lenses to start off the system: one of them, the Nikon 1 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-Zoom VR, is heavier than the V1 and J1 cameras it can serve, but offers an image-stabilized 27-270mm equivalent platform, and is the subject of today's lens review on SLRgear.com.

If you're an early adopter of one of Nikon's 1-series compact system cameras, the company has a firmware update lined up for you today.
The new firmware for the Nikon V1 and J1 cameras brings either model up to version A 1.11 and B 1.10. In both cases, a problem with flash overexposure has been addressed, either for the Nikon J1's built-in strobe, or for the Speedlight SB-N5...
