A memory card is required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase a memory card that suits your needs.
The Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Zoom Lens (White) is a compact and easily portable digital camera with a 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR Zoom Lens. The mirrorless design allows the camera to be extra-small and lightweight, while still retaining all of the best qualities of a mirrored model. Featuring a CX-Format High-Speed AF CMOS Sensor and an EXPEED 3 dual image processor, this small device packs some punch. The sensor enables great photos even in low light, while the EXPEED 3 enables superior system performance, high-speed processing, advanced phase detection autofocus and high-speed data transfer rates.
The J1 comes with a 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR Zoom Lens, featuring up to 3x magnification and a silent stepping AF motor (STM). The lens has image stabilization (VR II) to combat the effects of camera shake. The angle of view ranges from 29° 40" to 77°. The lens's minimum focus distance is 0.66' (0.2m), and the filter size is 40.5mm. The 10-30mm is a versatile lens for applications ranging from wide-angle to tight portrait shots, and applies 3 aspherical lens elements to ensure high image quality, even at the widest aperture settings. The 10-30mm zoom range enables excellent capture of fine detail, even in far-away shots. Internal Focusing / IF technology enables more compact, lightweight construction, as well as a closer focusing distance. A multi-layer lens coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level.
The J1 camera has an interchangeable lens system, allowing you to select from 3 optional 1 NIKKOR lenses in addition to the included one. There's even a lens designed specifically for movie filming. Swapping lenses is quick and easy, enabling you to stay at-the-ready at all times. Aside from the 10-30 mm focal length of the included lens, you may choose a single focal length of 10 mm or a 30-110mm telephoto.
A highly responsive autofocus and a fast shooting speed ensure that you never miss a moment. You get 10 fps continuous shooting speed in autofocus mode, so your camera won't lag behind the action. An impressive 73 point AF array gives you amazing clarity, even when capturing fast-moving subjects. A large 3.0" LCD color screen features a 460k-dot resolution and an anti-glare coating for easy viewing, even in bright sunlight.
Enjoy one-touch Full HD (1080p) movie record mode-and the ability to capture still images while recording! Add a slow-motion effect to make your imaging more dramatic. Experience the Motion Snapshot One-Touch Photo Animation Experience to bring your photos to life. This feature essentially creates a picture slideshow where there would otherwise be merely a single image. Thanks to Smart Photo Selector, the J1 chooses the best of the images you've taken, so all you have to focus on is getting the shot you want. Let the camera do the work for you while you do what you love and stay in the moment. Enjoy easy access to advanced features with a menu that is easy to follow, no matter how much photography experience you've had.

I use it for all of my indoor (w/flash) and all outdoors (w?fill-flash). The flash and used as fill flash is quite useful filling the shawdows bright sun produces!
Handy zoom lens. Just right on both ends.
The entire unit is lught enough and small enough for your pocket just like a Point and Shoot, but far above those cameras.
The shutter goes off fast, does slow motion and full HD video! Sensational abilities!

I used this camera for a couple days and when I arrived in Brazil the camera is not working anymore. I didnt buy the extend warranty but the camera has a one year worldwide warranty but Nikon Brazil doesn't care about that.
So, I dont recommend this camera for another users because Nikon does not help their consumers.
I didn'thave a chance to know the pros and cons of the camera. I'm so mad and sad about that.

Comments about Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Zoom Lens (White):
Coming from the Canon brand, this is my first Nikon camera. I love it! The white body is really clean and fresh, the photos are amazing, and the ease of use is hassle-free. There are a lot of great features to this camera, including in camera cropping. I haven't even started learning all the in's and out's yet, but it should be fun!

Comments about Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Zoom Lens (White):
The one major reason for this purchase was behind a simple camera that captures the moments.
This is simple and easy to use.
It does a lot what my old D-SLR does not. Auto focus is great and fast. We got some amazing pictures and videos. I think of it this way, if I don't have to manually adjust to capture a great photo, then I have a great camera. And I have a great camera.

Comments about Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Zoom Lens (White):
Using for family photos and product photos. This camera is an upgrade from a point-and-shoot camera and gives me the control and features I wanted. I've used the included software a bit but already have more familiarity with other photo editing software. I'm glad I made this purchase.

Comments about Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Zoom Lens (White):
I use my camera for mostly, street and landscape photography as well as video recording both hd and in slowmotion modes.
I like that the J1 has a wide variety of features, and pretty much all the features of a entry level dslr are available in the J1.
One thing I don't like about the Nikon J1, is the manual focus. You don't change focus on the actual lens as on DSLRs, but you do this with the scroll wheel. The actual focusing works fine, but it is not easy switching from autofocus to manual focus.
