Asia Bizz: Japanese camera manufacturer Nikon has recently launched its new Nikon 1 line up for the Indian market. Earlier, there were reports that Nikon would not opt to enter the mirrorless-interchangeable lens camera market.
But now the company has put to rest all rumours and has launched J1 which is the entry level model and the V1 which is the elder sibling and is aimed towards the advanced users.
