Nikon 1 J2

Nikon has announced a modest upgrade to their popular J1 in the J2. Specifications are almost entirely the same, still a 10.1 megapixel sensor, 1080/60p video, and 10fps burst with autofocus, but the screen resolution has jumped to 921,000 dots from...

great product!

i love this camera, I\'m not an avid photographer but it lets me do the things almost as great as a dslr minus all the extra functions that i don\'t want to take the time to learn.

Nothing but a fashion accessory

First off, let me say that I am in no way a "pro" in DSLR cameras and consider myself an amateur. This product does not fit MY needs but I'm sure it's an amazing camera with what it was intended to do. My primary reason for buying this camera was to...

Consumer review by: 7 "7" (amazon.com)

IDENTICAL horrible ergonomics that make the J1 worthless!

Nikon has not learned its lesson AT ALL! The J1 is a horrible camera primarily because the ergonomics are truly so god awfully poor that the camera is truly relegated to point-and-shoot (PNS) status and the autofocus simply doesn't work in dim or dark...

Nikon 1 J2 review

Nikon has seen great success with its Nikon 1 J1. Now less than a year on we've got the upgrade in the shape of the J2. How does it measure up?

Good screen ; Quick start-up ; Smart Photo Selector

Small sensor ; No viewfinder ; Poor art filters

Nikon 1 J2 review

The Nikon 1 J2 refreshes the original J1 - a compact system camera that had a tepid reception from photo enthusiasts, but succeeded among more casual snappers on the back of a strong advertising campaign - with an updated mode dial, new creative modes...

Hybrid autofocus system is decent, point-and-shoot simplicity for novice users, fast burst mode, small lens size may be a benefit, improved LCD screen resolution compared to J1

Little new compared to predecessor, small sensor image quality a little behind its competitors, difficult menu system for more advanced users, some auto white balance inconsistencies, electronic-only shutter, no hotshoe, no possibility of viewfinder,...

There’s little new to be found in the Nikon 1 J2 compared to the J1, and while some menu adjustments are there to make more advanced use that bit easier we still don’t think it quite clicks. More-advanced users won’t be on board with the J2, though...

Nikon 1 J2 review

In an age of me-too electronic gadgets, it's great to find some genuine diversity among compact system cameras (CSCs). The Sony NEX range leads the pack for low noise, Olympus and Panasonic offer fast performance and the biggest choice of lenses, while...

It won't appeal to photographic tinkerers, but the stylish design and dependable image and video quality add up to a good deal
