I've had mine for 6 years. It's perfectly sized for my EDC sling bag and small enough to fit in my pocket for my daily walks. I wish there was an option to add an EVF, and USB charging. I recently bought 2 extra batteries so I can have my screen on full brightness during the daytime and shoot for the whole day. I like that the flash can articulate upwards to bounce the flash off the ceiling for a softer light. Handheld night shots are crap with this sensor. I'm looking to get a 10-100mm for my travels. I plan to keep it for another 6 years.
When I bought into the Nikon one system, I started with the V1 and an FT1 adaptor and the 10 to 30 lens and the 30 to 110. Eventually, after the J5 was discontinued I bought it for a very reasonable price with the kit lens like you mentioned, I was able to purchase some extension tubes which with that 30 to 110 lens makes an awesome combination for flowers and birds with stabilization. It’s my travel ensemble like you say with very good auto focus and the lenses are so small that they fit into a little fanny pack when you travel. I carry two extra batteries as well. Tends to use up a lot of batteries. Like you mentioned it’s like an RX 100 with interchangeable lenses so very versatile system. I do have 6.7 mm wide angle zoom and it is a beautiful lens. It looks extremely sharp. I also use with the FT 1 adaptor with my 70 to 300 FX lens for birds which is a really good combination. The Nikon one system was way ahead of its time and it was the first point and shoot camera I ever bought because auto focus and low light abilities for point shoot cameras were terrible back then. I enjoyed your review very comprehensive. I also wanted that 32 mm F1 .2 portrait lens but like you say it’s very expensive. So I was able to pick up a 30 mm sigma lens and with the FT adaptor which works well as a nice portrait lens and has good background blur/bokeh. Regards Gerry
This Nikon 1 J5 looks really nice. But after a long time of comparison I highly recommend to buy a small MFT-camera, for example a Panasonic GM5 - it is the same size. The lenses are nearly the same size as well - and there are also fixed-focal-lenght lenses with image stabilization. For me, not having image stabilization is a big no-go. And if you step up the size a little bit you could buy a Panasonic GX80 which has a stabilizer in the body! The amount of available lenses in the MFT system is huge and brings a lot of fun.
Nikon 1 system is a fine, speedy little camera. Not bad for review video but quite lengthy for my taste. Also next time please look through your lens, not your screen. We're quite lonely here 😅 Nice photos btw, keep it up.
Thanks for the constructive criticism! I'll try to get a teleprompter in the new year, and hopefully that will help with eye contact. I'm not quite sure what do with the length - I seem to have a lot of thoughts, and it just ends up long. Probably a few more editing passes on the script could trim it up say 25%, but I'm loathe to drop whole sections.
Great review, I thank you :). Seems a very nice alternative among the other many small cams such as the Olympus Pen, the Fujifilm E X3, the Sony RX etcetera.
Just 3 day ago I get this and just it's a great compact camera for street photography and gave the nice sooc jpg with 10-30 kits lens and also with a manual 35mm f1,7 lens it's a very good cam,it's a good cam from nikon
If the 1 inch system cannot provide better portability than M43 systems can, I don't see much scens to pick it up. I believe that portablity is the key for small sensor systems to survive, and I really wish they could develop some cameras like Ricoh GR's, which a truely pocketable. Also, I think it'd be great if Ricoh can use M43 size sensor, if that helps improve the lens' aperture, while keeping the portablity.
I think the J5 is still more portable than M43, at least on the telephoto side, although not so much on the prime lens side, but its a close call. I would love to see some more modern options though.
M43 is the worst trade-off IMHO. Its not a great middle ground because its as big as APSC systems but with less depth of field and less dynamic range. Going from 1" to M43 means small gains in sensor size for much larger sacrifices in portability. Also, M43 v.s. APSC the lens size advantage isn't really there. Between APSC and M43, what dictates the lens size is more the stacking of lens elements than the diameter of the elements themselves. Case in point the LX100 zoom lens takes up more space then the same equivalent setup on the Canon G1X mark III.
@JimIBobIJones M43 has IBIS as its biggest differentiator from ( most) APSC. I'm really curious how you like the G1X III - I'm shooting with II this month and very much enjoying it.
@@leadwhite1249 I am pretty sure most of the APSC compact cameras also have OIS - or at least current/newer models do. Older models of the Ricoh GR and Fuji X100 didn't but all of current ones implement it. I do like the G1X m3 - I have moved over from a Sony Rx100 m4 as my "daily carry" compact. The improvements in dynamic range is the biggest draw over a smaller sensor, and it is pretty noticeable. IMHO its the closest thing to having a "proper" interchangeable lens camera with a kit lens that is portable and feels more like a "full kit" compared than a compact camera. Whilst the f2.8-5.6 beats out pretty much every 24-70 equiv APSC kit lens, but compared to the f1.8-2.8 on the Sony Rx100 it doesn't do as well at longer focal lengths in bad lighting. My other bugbears might have more to do with having spent too much time in the Sony ecosystem (my current main camera is a A7R IV, before that it was a A7R and an a A6000, and before that it was a Nex 5R) than anything inherently bad. Canon uses Anti-Aliasing filters in many of their cameras, which lends to "softer" looking images that I am not the biggest fan of. Also find that Canon's RAW files leave a bit more chromatic noise compared to Sony's (although I shoot much more often with primes on my mirrorless Sonys so that might have more to do with lenses and their larger apertures). Easy to fix in post though.
It is extremely portable. Fits perfectly in my pocket with the 11-27.5mm zoomer which is a lovely lens with light. Btw, I've just received the nifty fifty f/1.8 18.5mm equivalent. Looks very sharp so far :) Can't wait to try it in low light. Btw, it has a different kind of image stabilization as it rapid fires pretty snappily and a decent percentage of those shots have good exposure and focus.
Thanks for the great video! i use Nikon for years, from film to the digital F and now Z system. The 1 was nice, but it did not make sense. Therefore it went out of market, but Nikon learnt from it and the result is the Z system. I think in 2024, the Nikon 1 is for collectors. As you mention, the M43 system makes more sense nowadays. And a Nikon Z30 with the kit zoom would be compact as well.
I feel that the limiting factors here are competition from other systems like m43 and pentax q, and the rather limited lens selection. The kit lens is neither compact nor very bright unlike the m43 kit lenses. The primes are few and rare. The pentax q can pair with the pentax 110 which makes manual focusing fun and they are also extremely sharp and portable.
1" sensor is as small as I want to go. I know the q exists, but I think it's too extreme for me. You also used to be able to buy chipped adapters for nikon 1, that would support proper use of manual lenses (c-mount, etc), but I doubt you could find one today.
Really solid review. Answered tons of my ?s regarding this cam. Being that this Cam doesn't have IBIS... how well do the lense IS work with this cam and are their prime lenses with IS that one could purchase? Is it even worth doing all that?
On the telephoto lenses, the lens IS makes a big difference. Unfortunately, none of the primes have IS. You can learn get by without it, but I feel it was a big omission on Nikon's part.
thx. I have a panasonic LX10 and a larger FZ1000. They take good pictures but the LX10 leaves me cold and I leave the FZ1000 at home a lot due to its size. I would also like the option to get a bit of background blur also with the 18.5mm. I miss that on digital as I am still using a lot of film cameras in 35mm and 120. I feel if I go to m43 I will get lens GAS and like the minimalist approach here.
Buen vídeo informativo. Con las actualizaciones de TH-cam, los subtitulos en español se me hicieron más fácil entender. Nuevo seguidor. ¿Hay más videos de cámaras compactas? Actualmente, tengo poco presupuesto y estoy en busca de una cámara compacta para viajes. Fotografía (buena calidad de imagen) y videos con buenos resultados.
I've never used the Q system myself, but If I end up getting one in the future, I'll definitely review it. I was trading with someone who had a Q a couple months back, but I traded for a Samsung EX2F instead.
Great video! I recently got into sports photography and wanted to upgrade from my dads nikon d3400 due to the slow burst at only 5fps. I saw that the J5 has a burst photo of 20 fps with continuous auto focus. The other cameras Im looking at are the sony a6000 and a6300. The J5 is easily found for about 200-300 usd while the a6000 is around 300-400 usd. I was also thinking about buying the FT1 adapter because I already have two F mount lenses. Would it be better to save up and buy the sony camera or buy the J5?
I think it really depends on what you're needs are, and your budget - If you are shooting in bright light / outdoor sports I think the J5 would work well - with the 30-100 or 10-100 it's going to be half the size of a Sony and probably faster than the A6000 (but maybe comparable in speed to the A6300) and cheaper. On the other hand, the Sony has a much larger sensor and will be better indoors and in low light. If you want to stay Nikon, but want something more professional (and larger) than the J5, consider an aps-c Nikon Z camera (z30, z50)
I use my V2 for equestrian sports, actually in preference to my V3, it is quicker to focus and more robust with very good continuous AF at high frame rates. I have a J5 but use it for an every day carry, and also it can work as a vlogging setup with the 6.7-13 lens.
I have a 1J1 with the 10 and 18.5mm lens and enjoy using it. I have been thinking about trying to get one of the zoom lenses you mentioned. How do they stack up against the 10 and 18.5 for IQ? I have heard the 10-30 and the 10-100 IQ isn't as good as those two primes? Great video btw.
Thanks! What I think you will notice most is the performance of the zooms in low light is not as good as the primes, and the background will less blurry (especially the 18.5). But if you already have the primes it's easy to swap to them when you are shooting indoors. I think the 10-100 or the 30-110 would also allow you take different kinds of photos, since they have good telephoto coverage, whereas the 10-30 has more overlap with the lenses you already have.
If only I had a GM5. There is a huge price difference on the second hand market between the two, GM5 has a hotshoe and EVF, but the J5 has phase detect autofocus and a flip screen. A closer panasonic camera might be the gx850/GF9.
I shot Canon in the DSLR days so I don't have one to test, but yes it should support Nikon F AF-S lenses. There is an official compatibility table here: cdn-4.nikon-cdn.com/e/Q5NM96RZZo-MRItDefY8uS3cNHsVS3bpm3NYPzZUKnZZfucInlzzprpuVSEyudQ4_pucHovHlGWaRQ7Qj2v4VLP5OVK-hZI_9VQcvD3ZJzA=/PDF/Nikon_1_F_Mount-FT1_Compatibility_Chart.pdf
Hi I'm new to photography world. I have a question, usually if we post a picture to digital platform (especially the social media like Instagram, Facebook, etc) we can't see the difference in term of detail quality (they all look mostly the same to me). So when we take a photo by using either full frame, apsc, micro four third, 1 inch, or even smaller than that, we can't really notice the difference if we post to the social media (due to compress quality). My question is, will it noticable, if we print it? Let's say in 10R size photo? if we take a photo by using full frame, apsc, mft, 1 inch or smaller, can we notice the difference when we print it?? Thanks so much!
Yes, you will probably notice the difference more in a print than on Instagram. However people tend to stand further back as prints get larger. Even when I had a 7 megapixel camera back in the day, I would happily print 16x20 photos. So it kind of depends on the image.
There is no need for the ALL CAPS here, it's not considered a polite way of commenting. But sadly, all my favourite cameras are discontinued now. Nikon 1 and EOS M both. But I will keep using them.
It all depends on the situation - sometimes I don't need to shoot in low light, or I really want to pack light. For sure M43 is better in low light, but it's as much because of IBIS as it is the sensor size. Modern AI denoise tools have also improved the low light results for small cameras.
I dont know anything about camera, but want something of decent still photo quality but not burning my wallet. there is a second hand offering in my local area for us$200 with original kit lense, hmm..... wondering should I?

1 inch sensor is too small. Must be bad in lowight. Need at least micro four third.

Contemporary M43s weren't that great in low light, either. Horses for courses.
