Nikon and Electroworld Unveil Nikon 1 J1 & Nikon 1 V1: Like Digital Cameras with DSLR Functions

I was thinking if I should really get a DSLR - I always think of the pros and cons of things whenever I cannot decide on something. It looks like at this point, there are more pros on getting a DSLR. When I bought my digital camera I got more reasons to buy digital camera BUT NOW - I thought I need a DSLR.  Let me list down the reasons:

1. DSLR has this commanding approach - when you ask someone if you can take their pictures with DSLR on hand, they will eagerly pose for you, but with a digicam on hand, you will always look like a fan (that is funny but true!).

2. I need DSLR mainly for events coverage - especially when I am seated somewhere far, and needed a good shot that can zoom away and sweep away the crowd.

3. My second line manager believes so. Hehe. Her opinion matters, and she, being an avid reader of blogs (fashion blogs), she suggested I get one.

4. Will be travelling somewhere and it is once in a lifetime experience. I need a good camera that can capture priceless moments (I sound like a commercial).

I never wanted to bring anything bulky, being me that I tend to bring everything and carry a big bag - having a DSLR is another burden to carry on my shoulder.

Then, there is light. I was invited to the media launch of Nikon's Latest Camera Technology. Two new cameras that can take pictures like a pro, aptly called the "camera of the future". They are called Nikon 1 J1 and Nikon 1 V1.
