Review on πŸ“· Nikon 1 J5 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm PD-ZOOM Lens in Black by Elizabeth Gibson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Dangerously wearable, surprisingly fun.

Came from Nikon 1 J3 a few years ago. I like the new extras, although 15 fps at 4K resolution is not enough. For those familiar with the specs, this camera is particularly good for its size. The only downside is that the standard battery accidentally overheats during video recording (which is my main use of this camera), causing the camera to shut down after the sensors trigger this hazard. I've searched the forums and from time to time some batteries have been recalled. Thank goodness I found two spare batteries at the Revain. They run better (and last longer as the cells hold more charge) and haven't experienced any overheating issues.
