We've just posted our first set of lab test shots from a production-level Nikon J1!

The J1's CX-format image sensor has an effective resolution of 10.1 megapixels, with a diagonal of approximately 15.9mm. That's quite a lot larger than the 7.7mm chip used in Pentax's Q, but significantly smaller than 21.6mm Micro Four Thirds and ~28mm APS-C sensors. Nikon couples its new CX-format imager with a new EXPEED 3 image processing engine featuring dual imaging pipelines. The standard ISO-equivalent sensitivity range for the Nikon J1 is ISO 100 to 3,200, and a Hi-1 position allows this to be extended to a maximum of ISO 6,400. Click here for more on the Nikon J1, and visit the Nikon J1 Samples page for the Still Life, Low light, VFA and RES targets we've shot so far, including links to select RAW files. Stay tuned for more test shots soon!
