Since the launch of Nikon’s new Nikon 1 camera system, public reactions have been very strong with a lot of negative feedback on blogs about the apparent shortcomings of Nikon’s new camera system.
imaging resource has conducted an exclusive interview with Masahiro Suzuki, General Manager R&D of Nikon. Asked about the image quality of Nikon’s new cameras, his answer surprises:
MS: We are quite confident that we achieved almost exactly the same quality as our DSLR.
DE: (surprised) The same quality as DSLRs.
MS: Yes…Please evaluate! (laughs)
DE: Yes, obviously, we’ll test and we’ll hold you to that! That’s very interesting, because this is a much smaller sensor, but you say the same quality.
MS: Mm-hmm.
I really doubt Nikon’s cameras will be able to live up to this claim.
