I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

Not bad. There is nothing better to expect from a soap dish, but the fact that the camera heats up during recording is a minus. It turned out to be a hybrid of an iron and a fotik. Some pros: Price, video with a slowdown in shooting speed, a small one can be carried like a soap box, fits into a pocket. Has cons: I took a camera as an action camera for shooting a video (a falling glass of wine from a girl, splashes slowly rising up, etc. ) It works like an iron, it heats up after 16 minutes of…

A good device, if you use it for its intended purpose, and notcommpare the characteristics with SLR cameras. I liked thecomlor rendering. Exposure metering works very well, a wide range of working ISO,comnvenientcomntrol despite the small size. In general, the device turned out to be quite good. Obviously, when choosing the size of the matrix, the engineers proceeded from the fact that morecommpact optics can be made for a small matrix. It turned out they didn’t do it very well. you can find a

Pros
  • Small size, nice color reproduction, electronic (silent) shutter, good exposure metering, good ISO working range.
Cons
  • There is no swivel screen, a small selection of optics, sometimes for some unknown reason the picture turns out to be blurry.

Think carefully before you buy this product

I would not recommend buying this model. It is not interesting for professionals, but for "home" use it is too difficult to operate. Photos can turn out really good, but I would rather take another, more "automatic" camera: which would just take pictures in the dark, and not squeak and not show the hated red parallelogram ! And microphones. Terrible hiss. The advantages of this camera are greatly exaggerated. More like using a prototype of a normal gadget rather than its final version

Pros
  • Takes good pictures if you try. Good video, 2 microphones in front for recording. Flash. Turns on quickly.
Cons
  • 1. In order to take a good picture, you will have to poke around a lot in the settings. I am not a photographer and I took this camera for use in everyday life. I don't understand settings. If you are a person like me, then you should not take this camera. Because it's kind of a nightmare. Automatic settings don't work well. 2. In the dark, he sometimes refuses to take a photo at all, only squeaks. He needs a bright spot to focus, you see. In general, a nightmare. Although, if you can curb it, you can enjoy beautiful vacation photos, for example. 3. Another disadvantage is the small number of modes on this damned wheel. The next model has much more of them, it is more convenient to use. 4. Microphones. Yes, there are two of them and it's cool. Yes, sensitive. But this disgusting hiss spoils the whole viewing experience. Pshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Horror. 5. Stabilizer, to put it mildly, no. It’s clear that this is only a camera, not a camera, but sometimes it’s hard to watch the video because everything jumps and jumps, even if the hands practically didn’t shake during the shooting. 6. It's a g lens cap. You will constantly walk and think, and if you have lost it. And the trouble is that it does not even have a hole for the lace. 7. "Manual" zoom. Yes, it's fun to twist the lens, but only for the first six months. On the video, this sound is constantly heard - a rotating lens. 8. Essentially an addition to the previous one. The factory lens is not so hot as cool, the zoom is minimal. And to buy some kind of device for it, in my opinion, is not advisable because it is an expensive pleasure. 9. I don’t know what this is connected with, but the camera gets very hot during long work. Well, very strongly. It can shoot up to 20 minutes of continuous video, but by the end it almost burns in the hands 9. Weight. heavy

The quality is ok on the whole, it has some small flaws.

I read reviews, watched reviews, thought it was a really decent camera, but it turned out to be just a marketing move by Nikon. Terribly disappointed! Photoshop saves, I pull it out from RAW, but this is not a panacea. I was hoping for high-quality photos without processing. This camera is suitable for shooting photos and landscapes, but for portrait photography, alas . I do not want to keep such a camera as a second camera. I look forward to getting rid of it and buying a NIkon D5100.…

Pros
  • 1. Good video, slow motion chips. That's about it. 2. Cheap. If you get used to it, you can take good pictures.
Cons
  • A very noisy matrix, the focus s, you have to take a photo from several attempts. Only in manual mode it turns out to more or less take a good picture. The battery is weak. Ergonomics is unimportant, you have to constantly climb into the menu. It is very inconvenient to hold this camera in your hands, there is no grip, when shooting video with your hands, you can casually close the microphone.

The quality is at the level, I am satisfied with everything.

I use Nikon for video shooting, so in the review I only touch on video parameters. For photos, I use the canon 50D, and for short walks and shooting video, the Nikon J1 definitely wins. Sample video here There are many accessories for the camera and, most importantly, lenses. Forcommpact cameras, especially those with a 2.7 sensor, old rangefinder lenses from 8 and 16mm cameras are great. They are sold in abundance at online auctions around the world and it will not be difficult to buy…

Pros
  • This camera is the perfect companion on the road, excellent shooting speed, excellent video quality (I'm attaching a link just below). Everything you need from a compact camera and more. But do not think that it will replace a normal SLR. The camera is just perfect for shooting video, excellent quality even with a kit lens. Full 30 frames at 1080p. Compared with Sony Nex5 and I can say with confidence that Nikon is ahead of Sony in video quality.
Cons
  • Terrible management of shooting parameters, which is almost all hidden in the main menu. This is very difficult if you need to focus and quickly take a series of shots. Ergonomics is at zero, but this is solved by purchasing accessories, such as an overlaid leather layer on the case (they are presented in abundance on online auctions). Low battery (I solved this by purchasing two additional ones) Matrix 2.7 is not considered a disadvantage (see below)

I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Before this camera, there was a Canon digital camera, but both we and our parents used it, but we wanted our own. Decided to buy. The criteria were: - ease of management, - excellent image quality (in static, in motion, in good light and not so good) - good video, -Compact, easy to take with you everywhere - the possibility of shooting both in auto mode andcommpletely manual settings, because sometimes you want to be artistic - In the future, I would like the camera to have the ability…

Pros
  • + camera for the whole family: the most important buttons are on the body. Thanks to them, you can take pictures or shoot video in automatic mode. The quality is excellent. + Smart fotik. If you ask a passerby to take a picture of us, then you don’t have to explain for a long time what and how to press . you can choose a mode in which by pressing one button you get several photos in a row. And then choose which one is better. + Video quality is generally excellent. + Don't want to let it go :) + The menu is clear and logical. They wrote that it was inconvenient to climb there every time to set it up . but it seems to me that it took a few days and I got used to it very quickly. If I set manual settings, then they do not go astray after I take a picture in AUTO mode . I like it. + When buying, I got into a promotion, complete with a camera there was already a handbag, a memory card for 8 gigs and a box with various care products. + cute (I liked it, anyway)
Cons
  • The battery is weak, but this is nonsense. Buying is not a problem.

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

The purchase of this camera can be due to 3 reasons: 1) You need the smallest mirrorless (including lens). If the size of the camera does not bother you, then there are better deals on the market. 2) You are not looking for a complete replacement for a SLR camera. You want to buy simply the best soap dish on the market, which in many (but by no means all) cases will be worse than a DSLR. When buying this camera, you need to understand that it will in no way replace a professional SLR camera.

Pros
  • 1) The smallest mirrorless camera on the market today. 2) Very fast autofocus (it focuses instantly, which is very different from soap dishes). In general, the camera is very fast and does not slow down anywhere. 3) Extensive video features. Very good quality and lots of interesting extras. options. The 1200 fps slow motion is quite interesting. In terms of video shooting, the camera is probably the best on the market (both among compacts and DSLRs), in terms of amateur video use. 4) Rich functionality. The camera supports many different modes, ranging from automatic to full manual with control over all shooting settings. 5) Large depth of field, thanks to a small matrix. The percentage of successful shots is much higher than on a DSLR, because it is easier to get into focus on the subject. This point is especially true for beginners who have never shot on cameras with a large matrix.
Cons
  • 1) Ergonomics. Like it or not, the camera is not very comfortable to hold in your hand. The lens has some kind of duplication and not a convenient latch. The camera clearly sacrificed convenience for its size. 2) Convenience. The choice of all settings and shooting modes is carried out only through the menu. In fact, to change any setting or mode, you always need to climb into the menu. Not convenient or efficient. It was possible to make more modes on the wheel. And so it turns out that both the full automatic and the fully manual mode are in the same position of the mode selection wheel and switching between them is only through the menu. 3) Photo quality. The camera, of course, has gone far from soap dishes and is better than any of them, but it is still far from a DSLR. Such an artistic photo as from a DSLR from this camera cannot be obtained due to the lack of artistic lenses for it and a small matrix.

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

The size of the camera surprised me so much that when I saw it live, I couldn't believe my eyes. The photos in the store don't convey how small it is. Especially with a 10 mm lens (it was he who came in the kit). The lens is excellent, wide, aperture 2.8. Focus 10. The camera is perfect for photographing children (that's what I bought it for). I started taking less mirrors with me. And even if there is a DSLR at hand, I often take Nikon. At the time of purchase knew that the model is old. But

Pros
  • Size! Image quality. The number of frames per second (you can press and then select the ones you like). Pictures are sharp and vibrant.
Cons
  • Have not found. I knew why I was buying.

I want my money back! Disgusting product and poor quality.

Heavy, uncomfortable. The quality of the pictures is not very good. Some pros: I bought this device for a friend, took pictures for a couple of days. I never took pictures with a SLR, but I took a lot of pictures with a Sony camera, so you can throw bumps at me, I am writing my amateurish review. Pros: Compact, I like how the flash turns on, charges in 2 hours. Its cons: Compact, but weighty, felt in the hand. I would like to take on a trip what is easier. It seemed to me that the pictures…

Unattractive product, unprofitable purchase.

I was looking for a camera with a removable lens, when I bought it I was a kettle. I only knew that analogues with removable lenses have a large matrix, like medium-sized DSLRs, in addition, I was attracted by the fact that such cameras are very compact compared to SLRs. I got on the new Nikon J1, in all the salons they offered only this model. I have good impressions about Nikon, so I succumbed to advertising. Bottom line: 1. the quality of the photos is the same as on my old DSLR, 2. the…

Pros
  • speed
Cons
  • the quality of the photos is disgusting, despite the manual settings The price does not match the quality at all!

Well done, but I won't buy any more.

With whale lenses (10-30 / 3.5-5.6 VR and 10 / 2.8), the camera looks like a good soap box in pictures. But, unlike a soap dish, it still has interchangeable lenses. From 18.5 / 1.8 it starts to produce interesting photos and can easily replace a DSLR in most situations. The technical quality of photographs (resolution, noise) will be lower than that of a modern DSLR, but quite acceptable, higher than that of soap dishes.

Pros
  • Compact, well-assembled, VERY fast autofocus, high-speed (video 1198.8 frames per second at 320x120 have not been seen on any other household appliances), automation correctly selects all shooting parameters in low light, there is a built-in flash.
Cons
  • Although the formal resolution of images (10 MP according to manufacturers) is quite enough for absolutely any application, the clarity of the images could be better. Either the lenses are soapy (even 18.5 / 1.8), or the blurring filter in front of the matrix is ​​​​too strong. However, if the pictures are not heavily cropped (i. E., the front portrait is not cut out from the waist), then the real resolution is quite enough to print 20x30 pictures and, moreover, view them on the screen (even if you have a 2560x1600 monitor). In terms of noise level, the camera lags far behind modern DSLRs. This is not surprising, the matrix area is three times smaller. But after all, SONY and Canon put large sensors in their NEX and EOS M, and only Nikon "went his own way" . In good light, the automatic system unreasonably tends to shutter speeds of 1/500 and shorter, while it not only opens the aperture, but can even raise the ISO a little. The video has some unjustified limitations: the frame rate is only 30 or 60 (well, another 400 and 1200), 25 and 50 cannot be set; shutter speed even at 30 fps cannot be shorter than 1/60, and if "Flicker suppression 50Hz" is on the menu, then generally from 1/100 and shorter (even in manual mode!); high-speed video is recorded for a maximum of 5 seconds, in some cases, because of this, you can miss the moment for which you turned on the recording. There is no way to connect an external flash and microphone.

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

I used to use the Nikon D3000, which I got as a gift. Decided to change it because of the hard crash. I suffered for a long time with the choice, I did not know what to buy, either Nikon D3100 and Canon 1100D, or Olympus -PEN PL1. Previously, when I used a DSLR, I wanted something more compact like Sony-NEX5, and when I began to choose a camera, I chose Nikon because of its compactness and much lower price than Sony. The camera is capable of taking very good photos, it is worth its money…

Pros
  • Autofocus is instant, good color reproduction, photo quality is at the level of Canon 1100D or Nikon D3000.
Cons
  • Relatively small matrix. When shooting in dark places, the flash output is not always sufficient.

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

Great quality device! Don't listen to anyone! I myself own various SLR cameras, a bunch of lenses, I also have a Sony NEX 5N and unequivocally declare that the Nikon J1 is an excellent camera. Before buying it, I tested a whole bunch of equipment, choosing it for about a month. The main task when choosing was miniaturization, quality and photos no worse than my DSLRs. I can definitely assure you that the soap dishes did not stand next to each other in terms of photo quality. Of course, you can…

Pros
  • The quality of the photo for this level of the camera and lenses for it is 5 points with a plus! The video is beyond praise! 400 and 1200 fps is incredible! Try it and you will understand what it is! Compact! Performance quality! In the black version of the thing!
Cons
  • The absence of external switches on the body of PASM modes, but this is understandable why - Nikon positions this device as "Push and shoot". Well, if you still want to "indulge", then go to the menu and please, whatever your heart desires! By the way, after two days of communication with the menu, everything turns on in a matter of 1-2 seconds.

Think carefully before buying this product.

I checked the camera in the store for noise. Perhaps this is one of the outsiders of modern photographic equipment - in JPG, strong noise starts from ISO 100. Well, how, you say, should they take pictures ?! Especially if you take into account the poor aperture ratio of the kit lens. In RAW / NEF the situation is a little better - there is no noise up to ISO400, with limitations you can work up to ISO800-1600. But will novice amateur photographers have the desire to bother themselves like that?

Pros
  • Low price. Fast. But all the advantages are unimportant if there is one big disadvantage.
Cons
  • High noise level. Terrible amateur control - not good for people who are used to the "SLR"

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

In general, the purchase is satisfied. Yes, the device loses to most competitors in terms of matrix size, but at the same time it surpasses in speed and video recording quality. The cost is determined not only by the brand and novelty, but also by the processor and the fastest combined autofocus. I recommend it to fans of this brand, as well as to those who want to get quite high-quality photos with a device of a very small size.

Pros
  • -Speed ​​of work. After switching on, it is ready for shooting in 2 seconds. Focuses instantly. Lags after pressing the buttons imperceptibly. The only thing where it starts to "think" is when displaying 72 (9 * 8) thumbnails of photos on the screen. - Quality of photos in comparison with "compacts". Prior to that, he dealt exclusively with "soap dishes", the quality cannot be compared. Maybe for someone it does not “blur” the background enough, but for me, an amateur, it is enough.
Cons
  • - Many important settings are hidden deep in the menu. For example, to set the aperture priority (mode A), you need to climb to the third level of the menu instead of just spinning the dial. - Ergonomics. Yes, the rubber pad on the back helps, but the front of the device is absolutely smooth, I'm always afraid to drop it. This is despite the fact that I have black, which is "matte", more tenacious, the rest are generally polished. The strap in the kit is only for the neck, it is far from always possible to use. - Very missing cover in the kit.

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

I am not even a photo lover, let alone a professional. The camera was bought for a family, while the budget was no more than 10,000. I chose a camera for a very long time, read reviews, reviews, went shopping, felt, asked advice from familiar photographers. In terms of price / functionality, I mainly looked at ultrazooms. Until I saw the Nikon J1 + lens for 9990. I spent a couple of hours studying information on the Internet about this camera, after which there was no doubt about buying it.

Pros
  • 1. Photo quality in both automatic and manual modes. 2. Detachable lens 3. Dimensions 4. RAW support 5. Shooting speed
Cons
  • 1. Inconvenient to take pictures with one hand 2. Weak battery 3. Semi-automatic modes are hidden in the menu

I like it, thanks for the quality product.

For most parameters, it is exactly in the middle between inexpensive DSLRs and soap dishes. It will not replace a DSLR, at least until good optics appear for it. But if you are ready to put up with more serious sizes and weight, then no soap box can compete with it. Pros: 1. Excellent auto-mode (quietly trust it except for difficult conditions like low light, etc.). Very low percentage of marriage even with a minimum of effort and preparation. 2.

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

I took it in addition to Konica Minolta, mainly for video. But, as it turned out, the photos are also flawless. As I understand it, you can take non-chip adapters, just set the manual mode in the settings and the carcass will not require a chip. If I'm wrong - correct me. I tried to turn it on without a lens in manual mode - it seems to take pictures. )) Its pros: The quality of the photo, the quality of the video is simply amazing. Has some cons: Expensive lenses.
