CNET Review
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars Very Good
The good: The Nikon 1 J1 delivers excellent video and low-ISO photo quality, plus some aspects of the camera's performance lead its class.
The bad: The CX lens system drops manual focus rings on the lenses; you can't use flash above 1/60 sec; and there's no option for an EVF.
The bottom line: The Nikon 1 J1 is a fine camera, but there's nothing here that screams out ""buy it"" over similar competitors. It's also on the expensive side for a point-and-shoot upgrader, but has drawbacks for the more advanced user.
