Nikon 1

The Nikon 1 camera system comprised 4 lenses, two mirrorless camera body models, one flexible small system flash, an adapter for Nikon AF lenses and a GPS decoder, when it was introduced in autumn 2011.

It doesn't use a image sensor format like the Micro Four Thirds sensors of Panasonic and Olympus, the APS size sensors of Sony and Samsung, or the small compact camera sensors used in Pentax's mirrorless camera system. The sensor size is smaller than Micro Four Thirds but significantly larger than the Pentax-Q sensor. The Nikon 1 branding is associated with the 1 inch sensor size. Nikon names this sensor size CX (13.2×8.8 mm) joining the larger DX (APS-C, 23.6×15.7 mm) and FX (35mm, 36×24 mm) siblings in the lineup. The advantage of the cameras is the "hybrid autofocus", a mixture of phase detection AF and contrast AF. Another good point is the extremely fast shutter with speed up to 1/16000 sec.
