Nikon 1 J5 Pro Reviews

ephotozine‘s review Edit

As part of the Nikon 1 series, the Nikon 1 J5 is the fastest shooting consumer camera currently available, offering 20fps continuous shooting with auto-focus, as well as 60fps continuous shooting with fixed focus. The Nikon 1 J5 is ideal for a wide variety of shooting situations, such as sports and action shots, as well as making it ideal for anyone with kids that move quickly as the camera can focus extremely quickly. Video quality is very good, and this will be of benefit to those who want to record high quality videos, although the 15fps maximum frame rate makes the 4K video option much less appealing. The camera comes with a compact kit lens that offers reasonable performance to get your started, although to get the best image quality from the new camera, a prime lens is recommended. There are some interesting lenses available including the bright 32mm f/1.2 lens, as well as others, however there is currently not a dedicated macro lens available, so you may find the range limiting unless you are willing to purchase an FT-1 adapter and use Nikon DSLR lenses. The camera has a great tilting touch-screen with good handling and build quality, with improved front and rear grip. The Nikon 1 J5 is available for £429 with 10-30mm PD zoom lens making it good value for money as none of the competition offers as quick performance as this camera.
