Nikon 1 S2 with Nikon 1 S1 Overview


Let's compare 1 S1 with 1 S2. Both cameras produced Nikon. These models are included in the Entry-Level Mirrorless cameras. Nikon 1 S1 was released in 2013, and Nikon 1 S2 in 2014. 1 S2 is newer, which is a plus. 1 S1 1 years older.
The sensor resolution of 1 S1 is greater than that of 1 S2. However, the difference of 4 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (1 S2), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. Both cameras feature a 3-inch fixed screen.
Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Nikon 1 S1 has 60.0 fps continuous shooting. Nikon 1 S1 has 60.0 fps continuous shooting.
