  • Abstract:  It’s not often that we are surprised by a new gadget, but when we started taking pics with the Nikon J1 there was a moment when we were just amazed. Is the screen at the back really this good? How does it get these accurate light measurements? Why is i...

  • Two things which come out real good for Nikon 1 J1 excellent video and low-ISO photo quality. They both shine quite nicely for this camera. The only points where it could lose points are that flash cannot be used above 1/60 sec and there is absolutely no ...

  • Excellent image quality for its class; natural-looking colors; fun slow-motion video.
  • No in-camera processing; mode dial has limited options.
  • Providing excellent image quality for its class, the J1 produces pleasing colors without being overly saturated. Available in several eye-catching colors, the shooter will appeal to fashion-conscious photographers looking for a slim ILC as a step-up f...

  • Portable; fast autofocus and burst shooting; good image quality.
  • No EVF; shorter battery life; LCD has lower resolutionEnd.
  • The Nikon J1 is in many ways like the V1. It boasts the same ­shooting and fast autofocus performance but comes in a more compact form factor. The J1 will fit the need of a ­novice shooter - it's an easy-to-use ­camera and in some areas it ­performs a...

  • Buena calidad de video y desempeño en sensibilidades de ISO bajas. Tamaño compacto y calidad de imagen profesional. Posibilidad de usar más lentes. Controles al alcance de los dedos. La interfaz del menú es fácil e intuitiva
  • El flash no se sincroniza a velocidades más rápidas que 1/60 segundos. No hay opción para ponerle un flash externo o un visor electrónico. Hay que traer varios lentes en caso de querer una gama más amplia de objetivos
  • La recomendamos por su tamaño y su calidad. Además, puede ser una buena opción para traer como sustituta de un equipo profesional en caso de no necesitarlo. Ideal para fotógrafos aficionados que busquen una cámara que ofrezca buen desempeño, rendimient...

  • Nikon est victime de son propre succès. On le sait bien, les réflex de la firme sont très bien implantés sur le marché de la photographie professionnelle. Avec ceux de Canon, en effet. Dans ce contexte, lorsque le constructeur a lancé ses premiers hybri...

  • Qualité des images jusqu'à 1600 ISO, Excellent mode vidéo avec possibilité de ralentis, Flash intégré (contrairement au V1), Écran LCD de qualité, Appareil globalement réactif
  • Pas d'écran rotatif ou tactile, Pas de mode panoramique à main levé, Enregistrement vidéo inopérant en mode photo, Parc optique encore peu développé, Aide intégrée aux menus absente
  • Techniquement réussi (qualité des images, réactivité, mode vidéo...), le Nikon 1 J1 tente de séduire par de nouvelles fonctionnalités finalement peu convaincantes. En mode automatique "normal", le J1 remplit parfaitement son contrat. ...
