TechRadar has published its Nikon 1 S1 review.

At the start of this year, Nikon introduced a new line to the already existing 1 V and 1 J series in the shape of the Nikon 1 S1. This is Nikon’s simplest compact system camera to date, and is a no frills version of the Nikon 1 J3. That means it comes without the fuss of mode dials and lots of buttons, instead concentrating on enabling you to take pictures. It still has all the manual control and raw shooting capability that you would expect of a camera with interchangeable lenses, it’s just buried a little deeper – enabling you to explore those options if you want to, but also ignoring them if it’s not for you.

Nikon Coolpix A Review

The Coolpix A is the latest Nikon digital camera. It packs a sensor the same size as DSLR cameras with a 1.5X crop-factor and matches it with a 18.5mm F/2.8 Nikkor lens which is equivalent to a 28mm wide-angle lens on a full-frame camera. This premium compact has full photographic controls, including dual control-dials and a focusing-ring.

Read the detailed review to find out all about it. Sample full-resolution images and crops from ISO 100 to 25600 are included as usual.

Olympus PEN E-PL5 Review

An express review of the Olympus PEN E-PL5 review was just published at Neocamera.

Find out how it performs in the E-PL5 review and take a look at images in the samples gallery to see how it performs at all ISO sensitivities.

Alice Truong has written up a first person account of the Lytro Field camera at DVICE. It’s an interesting article and points out the difficulty of establishing a new category when the current one has not fully matured yet. Digital photography in its current incarnation has yet a little bit more ways to go before it reaches its full potential, presumably when compact mirrorless full-frame cameras become commonplace. The Lytro camera itself faces some technological challenges, not unlike what digital cameras had to go through, re: sensor size, LCD quality/size, etc.

Olympus Stylus Tough TG-2 Review

An exclusive review of the flagship rugged camera from Olympus, the Stylus Tough TG-2 was just published at Neocamera. This is the toughest model from Olympus and is ready to go anywhere with a completely waterproof body that can be taken underwater to 15m below the surface, in the cold to -10C, dropped from up to 2.1m and survive 100kg of pressure.

The TG-2 is optimized for low-light performance with a bright F/2 lens paired with a 12 megapixels high-speed CMOS sensor capable of ISO 100 to 6400 and shooting continuous at 5 FPS. Needless to say, it can also capture full 1080p HD video.

Nikon 1 J3 Review

Neocamera just reviewed the Nikon 1 J3 which is a very slim mirrorless camera which packs the same 14 megapixels High-Speed CMOS sensor as the flagship V2. Like its larger sibling, the J3 features Phase-Detect Autofocus and continuous drive modes up to 60 FPS at full-resolution. It is a simple to use camera that offers an really interesting compromise between image quality and size.
