Nikon 1 J1 Review
by Rob GalbraithNovember 2011
Rob Galbraith posted his review of the Nikon 1 J1 on his website. Galbraith was impressed with the cameras' speedy autofocus and responsiveness. He found the image quality to be great, for both still images and when shooting HD video. Galbraith said that images from the camera are pleasing, "color is rich with natural gradations and tonality." Other features touted by Galbraith include the fine detail in RAW files, the camera's ability to set a custom white balance for the flash and the system's overall small size. Of the Nikon 1 video, which is the same system in both the V1 and J1, Galbraith said, "The camera has what is arguably the best video mode of any Nikon."
