Nikon has revealed it's first line of mirror less interchangeable lens cameras, the Nikon 1 V1 and Nikon 1 J1, which it claims is the world's fastest and smallest of it's kind.

The Nikon 1 cameras boast Nikon's Expeed 3 processor, which Nikon claims is faster than most professional cameras. The processor is equipped with two engines that Nikon claims can process images at 600 megapixels per second.

The Nikon 1 V1 and Nikon 1 J1 also feature a 73-point Phase Detection AF system for shiny or moving subjects, and for stationary and poorly lit subjects the Nikon 1 AF opts for a 135-point Contrast Detect AFsystem.

The Nikon 1 cameras feature a new Nikon 1 CX-format CMOS image sensor designed for Nikon 1 cameras and the 1-mount, offering 10-megapixel resolution.

Other key Nikon 1 specs include raw shooting, full HD video recording and an ISO range from 100-6400.

In still image mode the Nikon 1 cameras can shoot full resolution shots at up to 60 frames per second, while Smart Photo Selector shoots 20 full-res images before you've fully depressed the shutter button, Nikon claims. In SPS your best five shots are saved based on composition, focus and expression. Then your 'perfect' shot is presented to you.

Motion Snapshot records a slow motion movie and a still image and combines them to create a photo that moves.

The Nikon 1 a cameras also Mark the launch of Nikon's Advanced Camera with Interchangeable Lens (A-CIL) range.
