The Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm / 30-110mm Lens (Silver) is a compact and easily portable digital camera with both a 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR Zoom Lens and a 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 telephoto lens included. 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 10.1 MP 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 included 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR zoom lens features up to 3x magnification and a silent stepping AF motor (STM). It 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 10-30 mm 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 included 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 telephoto lens (81-297mm 35mm equivalent) works great for isolating subjects from their backgrounds with clarity, and also has Internal Focusing / IF to maintain compactness of size--even when using the zoom. It also has image stabilization (VR II) to combat the effects of camera shake. Its telephoto coverage makes it great for a wide array of scene types, from sports to portraits. Enjoy superior sharpness and color correction-even at the widest aperture. Your photos will be crystal clear and sharp, even those taken from far away. Capture sweeping vistas with the wide depth of field. Nikon's Super Integrated Coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level, and also assists in the creation of superior color balance and reproduction. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass reduces chromatic aberration to allow for superior sharpness and color correction. The lens's angle of view ranges from 8° 20" to 29° 40". The lens has a minimum focus distance of 3.3' (1.0m) and a filter size of 40.5mm.
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 and 30-110 mm focal lengths of the included lenses, you may choose a single focal length of 10 mm or a 10-100 mm zoom.
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.

Comments about Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm / 30-110mm Lens (Silver):
I used my camera for landscapes and portraits. Amazing, well balanced and fast. I'd have liked the cover to host also the 30-110 lens.

Comments about Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm / 30-110mm Lens (Silver):
What's great is the images are as good as SLR cameras, but because it's mirror less the camera is much more compact and not bulky. Even the lens length is shortened and more compact. I am very excited about mirror less photo technology.

Comments about Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm / 30-110mm Lens (Silver):
Hmmmm....the Nikon J1. What is to be said about this technology revolution? Easy? Full-proof? Simple?
I'm no photographer, but I was transformed into the Amsel Adams of Arlington, Virginia with the Nikon J1 camera. It's almost too easy to use, so I guess true nerds might find this camera disappointing. But as a photography neophyte, I can't rave enough about this award-winning camera.
It is so point-and-shoot. Nothing could be simpler than to record breathtaking images of everything from flowers to bugs to office furniture to dogs. I have had the camera two weeks and already have filled up a 32 Gigabyte chip with just stellar imagery of my daily surroundings. I wish I could say something "bad" about this product, but I cannot think of anything negative.
I did shop around and found that B&H really did have the best pricing on this camera. I did have to wait for the rabbi to bestow his blessing on this Kosher camera, but I didn't mind the wait. The end product was just overwhelming.
I don't rave, usually. But about this camera I must ascend the mountaintop and tell you that this is the Promised Land of photography. No ifs, ands, and buts about it. Just the best.

Comments about Nikon 1 J1 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm / 30-110mm Lens (Silver):
I bought this camera for my daughter because she told me that her DSLR was too cumbersome to carry all of the time. The J1 has filled a void for her. She is a very good photographer and the J1 allows her more control and creativity, something she did not have with any of the point & shoot cameras available. Since she is still new to the camera she has not yet pushed it to its limits but she tells me that, so far, it has met or exceeded her expectations.
