The Nikon news roundup (financial results, DxOmark, V2 test and more)

It’s time to look a bit more into some new Nikon 1 related news!

Let’s start with a deal on refurbished J1 camera at Cameta (now $259 only). As you know it has been replaced by the J2 but the DxOmark sensor test demonstrates that there is no real image quality improvement on the newer model. And image samples of the new V2 model have been posted by the Russian Prophoto site. The surprise comes from the Nikon Q2 financial report that showed that the new DSLRs and Nikon 1 are selling well in face of the economic crisis (Engadget). I may underestimated Nikon’s capacity to sell the Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras :)
