Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I am not a professional photographer, before purchasing Nikon J1, I used Sony's "soap box", and considered the pictures taken to be quite good. And so it broke down and I decided to buy something better and opted for the Nikon J1. Bought. I inserted a memory card from the "soap box". I took pictures on Nikon J1, and began to view the pictures. The new pictures are great, but the ones from the soap dish turned out to be terrible compared to the new ones. I (not a professional) really liked the…

Pros
  • Compact, convenient, fast, cool fotik.
Cons
  • not detected.

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

His price, of course, is such that you can buy a SLR. But I chose this particular model, mainly because of its compactness compared to bulky SLR cameras. It gives good pictures, far exceeds the level of a conventional digital camera, for connoisseurs of outdoor activities - the very thing! Pros below: Excellent picture quality. I usually take it with me on trips, respectively, I shoot on the run. The photos are excellent, the colors are not distorted. Automation works exactly, autofocus works…

The quality is at the highest level, be sure to try it.

Now more. Thanks to the 1" (13.2 x 8.8 mm) sensor and very smart internals, the quality of your photos is comparable to that of a SLR camera. In terms of weight and dimensions - heaven and earth (after this baby, I somehow don’t want to carry a DSLR with me at all). I would like a more universal type of mount, for example, the same Nikon F, but on the other hand, this is not so critical. After several years of use, the whale lens began to act up - I called the Nikon service department, the…

Pros
  • Let me first state that I am not a professional photographer. And so I do not pretend to be an expert. But what I liked about the Nikon J1 camera, as well as the Nikon S1, by the way (I have two of them and they differ little, mainly with whale lenses): - fantastic photo and video quality (I also worked with very expensive Nikon SLR cameras and did not see any significant difference); - the dimensions of both the lens and the carcass itself; - Nikon's attitude (more on that below);
Cons
  • Wear with a neck strap only. Otherwise, you can drop. The camera itself is smaller than the lens and therefore strives to escape from the hands.

Not the best quality, but generally not bad.

Some pros: Fast autofocus, there are some features that you can play with at first Some cons: a very bad grip, or rather it simply doesn’t exist (it’s impossible to hold the camera with one hand and shoot), managing manual settings is inconvenient. expensive glasses

A nice image camera for an undemanding user. Do not change the factory firmware to a later one that Nikon offers on their website! The device starts focusing much more slowly and slows down from time to time. Moreover, it hung up several times, as a result of which I lost information on the memory card. Before the firmware, none of this was. The funny thing is that when friends gave me their old Nikon L610, I was surprised to find that the L610 shoots an order of magnitude better in terms of…

Pros
  • Nice appearance. Low noise in low light. High working ISO values.
Cons
  • Creepy whale lenses. 10 megapixels is very small for post-processing. Little zoom. Unacceptably strong geometric distortion at a wide angle. One can only dream of sharpness and detail. The colors are unnatural. Even when shooting in sepia - my Sony soapbox does it much better. You can, of course, take pictures in RAW and then do processing, but this is not mine, given that I take several hundred photos in one walk :)

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

I have been a photographer for over 6 years. The desire to buy a small camera for everyday shooting has matured for a long time. In winter, I bought a Nikon Coolpix P7100. The device is not bad, but the speed of its work and the quality of images leave much to be desired. Soap dish - she is a soap dish. At the first opportunity, I sold it and bought a Nikon 1 J1 for the same money. And now I really enjoy working with him. The camera is light, compact and very fast. The quality of pictures in…

Pros
  • Image quality, rate of fire, size, interchangeable lenses, video recording, price
Cons
  • A small selection of optics, the battery is weak, there is no shoe for an external flash

Excellent product, the best quality.

I am an amateur. For me, this is the simplest camera with instant readiness for shooting, it is very convenient in manual mode, and it takes excellent photos on the machine, of course, if there was a 10mm lens, I would throw it in my pocket, but I have 10-30mm and because of it a little bulky. Holds a charge for a very long time, a good margin of screen brightness. In general, this is what I was looking for from cameras. In general, having tried pentaxes, canons, fuji, I decided that Nikon is…

Pros
  • The speed of readiness and shooting, the quality of shooting on a whale lens, excellent video shooting, everything is quite simple in manual mode, interchangeable lenses
Cons
  • A little tricky menu, not a comfortable small grip, a little dark on a whale lens

It is of good quality, but I won't buy it again.

Series 1 is a kind of "duck", a transitional, unnecessary option, for the illiterate from N * Konovites, the opportunity to sell lenses and accessories, after playing with it, the buyer will understand that you need to take something more solid, this is what it is designed for, I don’t understand where so many a lot of rave reviews, apparently there are only scammers around, the quality of the photos is not so high quality, or rather, it’s a little better than soap dishes with a 1 \ 2.3 matrix,

Pros
  • Fast (turn on, focus), very good video quality, beautiful.
Cons
  • Small size of the matrix (the main disadvantage!), Expensive, mediocre photo quality (optical distortion, blurryness) is inconvenient, there is no way to manually select scenes, function keys (programmable!) Could do a couple more, gets very hot, expensive original accessories, flimsy lens (backlash of components), heavy and large, you can’t put it in your pocket

A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

To write that supposedly this matrix has a small dynamic range . I don’t want to delve into this jungle, but I think that a camera for 20 mowers designed for an amateur audience should not open the brain of an average person, there are SLRs for this . Sold to hell. Got pros: High rate of fire, very fast autofocus, intuitive menu, the ability to take photos without interrupting the video. and that's only when compared to competitors! Some cons: Ergonomics let us down . a camera with a 10-35…

The product is the most common, it could be worse.

Used less than a month, because. the next day the flash stopped working. As it turned out later, this is a common defect for this model. In general, everything is quite convenient, different buttons for photo and video shooting are unusual. Despite assurances of compactness, the device is not the lightest and most compact. The dimensions of the assembly with the lens also do not favor the convenience of carrying. For my purposes, I am now considering compacts (the same Nikon P330),

Pros
  • Design, good screen, price (10tr with 10-30 lens)
Cons
  • Weak lens aperture 10-30, reliability, weak battery

The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

I bought white for 9999r. Looks twice as expensive The combination of white and gray on the lens . mmm amazingly beautiful! I was looking for white, because. in other colors it looks much simpler, gray is still okay, but in black it’s generally scary. The black one also has a matte finish, all the dust sticks. I bought a d3100 instead, because. I still didn’t use its potential, and it was too lazy to carry it with me once again. 1J1, on the other hand, is just nice to take with you as an…

Pros
  • Awesome build quality! Very high quality materials - do not want to let go! (It's a Nikon after all :)) Very simple, uncomplicated menu.
Cons
  • not yet for me. Unless I’m not very confident in holding it in my hands when shooting, because. smooth body. I'm afraid to drop it or get it dirty :) Well, in vain they removed the S A P M modes from the wheel. After 9 years and 5 tons of frames, the native lens died, as it turned out, this is their sore. Nikon refused to repair, despite the fact that he officially recognized the problem and until 2022 he repaired for free. I applied in August 2022 and was denied.

A valuable purchase, some advantages!

The grip is not very comfortable, but you can fix this by purchasing a special. accessory. The camera is compact. Shooting on the machine, I personally do not like the quality of the resulting images. It occupies a niche exactly in the middle, between conventional compacts and SLRs, unlike analogues from other companies. Due to the small number of pixels, the color reproduction is excellent. The choice of accessories cover all needs. It's a pity there aren't many for sale at the moment. On

Pros
  • 1. Very fast. In 3 seconds it turns on, focuses and takes a photo. Takes a photo with a slight lead. The speed of normal frame-by-frame photo shooting is 5 fps, with an increased speed of 10,30,60 fps with constant iso 3200. 2. There is a high-speed video shooting. Plus a small, but no entertainment. 3. The price is adequate. 19 sput for the device itself, two hood lenses included. 4. In the future, you can, through an adapter, connect Nikon lenses.
Cons
  • 1. Due to the fact that the matrix works constantly, it heats up quite strongly. 2. The battery lasts for 300 shots. With continuous shooting more. Bought a couple more batteries. 3. Switching shooting modes in the menu, not on the mode dial; on the wheel only photo and video modes. 4. The biggest negative for me. Manual focus is not on the lens, but like on compacts - with the menu control wheel.

Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

The device withstood a rather difficult tourist trip. The shooting was carried out in difficult conditions, excluding full-fledged work with a SLR camera. "Instant", impromptu shots "on the go" are excellent. Due to the lack of interchangeable lenses on sale, it is recommended to take a kit with two lenses (with 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm f3.8-5.6). Such a whale will definitely be better than any commercially available "ultrasound" of a similar cost (with a more compact J1)

Pros
  • Compactness and image quality. Almost instant readiness for work (compared to a SLR camera). The possibility of using interchangeable optics.
Cons
  • Lack of accessories and optics for sale on the territory of the former. USSR In very dark and relatively large rooms, the built-in flash is useless.

Not all that bad, but there are minuses.

I will write only what others have not noted: 1) the zoom lens has a "traveling" position, mechanically different from the "working" one. Translation from one to another is carried out by pressing the mechanical button and turning the zoom ring, followed by mechanical fixation. This feature is completely uncharacteristic for lenses, and raises concerns in terms of its long-term reliability. After all, this action must be performed at the beginning of each shooting and at its end. 2) video…

Pros
  • Compact, high image quality in most cases
Cons
  • non-standard 10-30mm zoom lens mechanics, video only shoots in NTSC (60i, 30p, 60p)

The product is really good, I'm glad I purchased it.

Protective filter 40.5mm. There are on sale. After the purchase, you need to ate the firmware from the Nikon website. Happy with the camera. The first time I held this model in my hands in Malaysia in early January for 18,000 (translated) complete with two lenses. I did not buy because the Asian guarantee did not work in 2022. I wrote to Nikon. Now the price in 2022 has become acceptable for purchase. I recommend to buy.

Pros
  • Very, very fast machine. Large matrix (just don't start comparing with DSLRs). Intelligent mode is a thing! The ability to take a photo while shooting a video. The ability to map hot / dead pixels directly from the menu (in the new firmware). Good display.
Cons
  • The flash really overexposes the picture, even after flashing. P,A,S,M modes are hidden in the menu, not on the wheel. Big charger for such a camera. Moreover, the plug snaps into charge and after that it is problematic to remove it. And if you do not take it off, then when traveling, it will simply break off. Well, this refers to the functions of the camera indirectly.

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

Bought in mid-December 2022. I found the first minus when installing the software on my iMac, the photo transfer program did not recognize the camera. I demolished the program, started using iPhoto, which transfers photos and serves as an excellent library. We use Nikon 1 as a second camera (always with us), Canon 7d (heavyweight) acts as the main one, we take it only for exceptional events, where the quality of the photos should correspond to a high level. Therefore, they did not immediately…

Pros
  • Awesome designHigh-quality bodyBig beautiful displayUser-friendly interfaceInteresting shooting modesIn good lighting, pictures are a thrill.
Cons
  • It is better to throw all the software from the disk, including the program for transferring photos, into the trash (for MAC users). In poor lighting, it is not possible to focus + at the slightest movement of the object, the pictures are blurry.

A good quality product, I rate this purchase perfectly.

I bought before NG actually on NG as a gift to my beloved. Immediately flashed to the new firmware. By the way, this removed a lot of Nikon's childhood sores. Highly recommended to do! Half of the negative reviews in this case would not have been. They took pictures of all the January holidays, and a trip to Hong Kong (winter). On the trip, it turned out to see what he can do: as a result, the exposition is built with a bang, except for the darkest places. The colors are very natural. The…

Pros
  • photo and video quality, size, speed, and workmanship. Fast as an electric broom. Black. Built-in flash (that's why, by the way, I first abandoned the Neks). Yes, a lot!
Cons
  • We hid the menu settings deep inside . well, why, you ask? There are few lenses for it (although a very interesting "portrait" at 1.2 has now appeared) The adapter is not a panacea: after all, lenses for "adult" Nikons are more physically. And the small size is just the main plus of mirrorless cameras.

The quality does not meet expectations, I will not buy any more.

Video is great. Photo - no matter how he twisted . And he twisted the shooting modes, and twisted the jpeg settings and twisted the equals. But the colors are somehow irremovably dirty. The only focus is fast. And the lens for such a matrix could be made longer or brighter. Verdict - for 5 thousand at a flea market you can take. New - look at Nikon's competitors

Pros
  • Low price in the secondary market, you can take indulge. Beautiful.
Cons
  • Colors
