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.
I always wanted a V3 which has a removable EVF, but it was always way more expensive than the J5.
Love your videos!
Thanks! More coming soon!
I bought j1 two years ago and I love it, and I really interested to buy this camera, thanks for help ne with the video
Glad you liked it!
Wonderful video, thanks!
Thank you!
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
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.
To be honest there is a big contra in buying a GM5 or GX80: They have no screens for selfies ...
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! For Panasonic M43, the GX850/GF9 series has the selfie screen and is on my list to review.
@@leadwhite1249 yes, it has a selfie screen. But no stabilization in the body ... I am looking forward to your next videos, thank you for your work!
Very good photos from kind camera)
thanks!
Great informative video. Thanks! Could you also make a review of the smallest digital interchangeable lens camera system the Pentax Q?
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.
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.
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.
The J5 should produce a similar image quality to the LX10, and with the 18.5 slightly more background blur, but it might not be night and day.
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.
4th series AW. Luv my J4
Oh you're right - The rugged series! So many different models.
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.
The picture at 00:09:46 is beautiful!!
thanks!
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)
@@leadwhite1249 Thank you for the feedback!
Does it support AF on Nikon F lenses via FT1 adapter?
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
Thank you for the amazing analysis. I am on the market for a small syst and the Nikon J1 is a cheap option.
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
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.
For collectors, or people starting out on a budget. But lots of options out there, as you mentioned. Z30s seems to be pretty cheap.
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.
Just order this j5😂 need a small pocket for street photograph,
Maybe better show camera on the table and reed text behind :)
1 inch sensor is too small. Must be bad in lowight. Need at least micro four third.
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.
Contemporary M43s weren't that great in low light, either. Horses for courses.
Knee-kon!
You can shoot a Knee-kon, I'll keep shooting a Nikon, thanks.
SADLY DISCONTINUED NOW. Not supported by NIKON
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.
@@leadwhite1249LOL
I got 3 lenses and this camera for 200 dollars
Can you give me any camera?
Sorry, I'm not giving away cameras. I don't plan to do any give-aways on this channel.
