Nikon 1 V2 review – Dynamic range
Given the size of the Nikon 1 V2’s sensor, you would expect the dynamic range to be restricted. However, I could see little difference in the dynamic range of images from the V2 and those from a similarly priced DSLR. There was enough detail in shadow areas to allow editing of the exposure in raw-editing software, although some noise did start to creep in. Similarly, highlights may tend to clip just slightly before you would expect them to, but for the most part the dynamic range was fine for a camera of this type and it shouldn’t prove a hindrance, especially as the camera is really designed as a travel camera for use outside during the day.
