Nikon Just Released the Nikon 1 J2 Compact System Camera
Anticipating Photokina 2012 Nikon has released the Nikon 1 J2 compact system camera that is an incremental revolution of its Nikon 1 J series. It is based in the Nikon 1 J1 compact system camera with improvements in the back screen that has seen an increased resolution and addition of art filters seen usually in the Nikon Coolpix series.
