Technology’s advancements in a short period of time has had an amazing impact on the camera industry. Years ago, people were very concerned when selecting cameras, but today, different brands introduce a wide range of cameras series by adding different models in short span of time. Likewise, the Nikon 1 V-series introduced the latest model NIKON1 V2 offering exchangeable lenses. By structure, it has a professional look with broad edges; it can be found in black and colors.
