Nikon 1 J2 Reviews
Pocket-lint reviews the Nikon 1 J2 and writes;
“As it is the J2’s images are decent at the lower ISO settings, with enough detail from ISO 100-400, though this can be scene-dependent. For example, a deep green shade in the background of an ISO 400 shot shows a level of luminance noise that the camera has partially processed out – it doesn’t look bad by any means, but it’s certainly there.”

Amateurphotographer reviews the Nikon 1 J2 and writes;
“The first generation of cameras will always need some degree of tweaking before they really deliver what the user wants. While the J2 is a nice camera and offers some improvements over the J1, it doesn’t feel like it has gone far enough to progress the Nikon 1 series.”

T3 reviews the Nikon 1 J2 and writes;
“Images – whether stills or video – are clear and crisp and colours realistic in the main, and we were able to get really quite decent results merely by pointing and shooting, even in lower light – which is where the modest resolution yet larger sensor does it stuff – so anyone will be able to pick up the J2 straight away and come back with pleasing shots.”

Techradar reviews the Nikon 1 J2 and writes;
“For those looking for their first compact system camera, the Nikon 1 is a good investment, while those who already own DSLRs may like to consider it for a second camera.”

CNET reviews the Nikon 1 J2 and writes;
“In producing the J2, Nikon has rounded out the already impressive features of the tempting J1. It’s a joy to use and a beautiful camera that produces impressive results. It’s something you’d be proud to show off.”

Photographyblog reviews the Nikon 1 J2 and writes;
“the Nikon 1 J2 is a good camera for beginners, it’s not so well-suited to serious amateurs. The J2 is a very small, high-quality, discreet and generally fast camera but its interface is quite clearly not geared toward users who like to take full control of the picture-taking process, despite the addition of the new Creative shooting mode.”

Expertreviews reviews the Nikon 1 J2 and writes;
“The J2 fared well in our image quality tests, too, with flattering colours and well-judged automatic exposures. It’s good to see that the Auto ISO mode no longer limits itself to ISO 800 as it did on the J1, reducing the chances of camera shake in low light.”

Ephotozine reviews the Nikon 1 J2 and writes;
“The price of the J2 is quite reasonable, putting it in the middle of the mirrorless price range, yet the 60fps shooting is a unique feature that is worth paying for. The Nikon 1 J2 delivers one of the more compact mirrorless camera systems available, thanks to the compact kits lenses available being very compact thanks to the pancake design and collapsible zooms.”

Upgrading from a POS, and I really like it
“I bought this camera for $300 new, and so far, so good. I had a terrible camera before, and I don’t have the space or $ for a fancypant DSLR. For me – the indoor movement shots look great, out of the box. The light on the indoor shots is beautiful, and much better than what I had previously.” – By E. Tucker

Perfect for me
“This camera is just what I was looking for. I have a larger camera but wanted one easy to take along for those surprise photo ops. This one is light enough to take anywhere, takes great pictures and I love the ease of use, just turn the lens and it’s ready. The pop up flash is another feature I like. I’ve been using it for two months and the battery is still going!” – By Jean Berch
