The Nikon 1 J2 is smart, stylish and looks like it can handle a few knocks thanks to its solid and high quality construction. It's also very user-friendly, meaning pretty much anyone can pick it up and start shooting great images - but it’s also quite capable in the hands of a more snap savvy user.On closer inspection, the Nikon 1 J2 shoots some high quality images, especially considering the siz
While the Nikon 1 J2 is great for beginners, those wanting to make the most of the advanced options are going to struggle, simply because of the controls. Changing up more advanced options is a bit of a chore, but flicking through the various pre-set fun filters is a piece of cake. Lacking a viewfinder, or even a hotshoe to mount one, some shots might be harder to shoot than others too, and due t
The Nikon 1 J2 tries its best to keep up with the other mirrorless cameras, and on some levels it succeeds. Its image quality and build quality are great and are well recommended, and for those who want to start their new hobby with a simple yet capabl...
Cool design, metal build, simple intuitive handling, a twist of the lens powers the camera up or down (if using the kit zoom), creative mode for more experimental users, slight boost in LCD resolution
Though the market has moved on, hardly a jot has changed feature-wise when compared to the year-old J1, picture quality is acceptable but only marginally better than your average snapshot
This one's looks outstrip performance, but small size and access to a wide range of lenses via adapter make it a sound option, though going for the older and cheaper J1 might be the sensible idea

Abstract: The Nikon 1 J1 was a tasty looking compact system camera that appeared at the tail-end of last year and was capable of producing some very nice shots alongside boasting a decently-built body. However, it was also decidedly expensive, especially when put u...
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 doesnt feel like it has gone far enough to progress the Ni...
Good screen, Quick start, up, Smart Photo Selector
Small sensor, No viewfinder, Poor art filters
The Nikon 1 J2 is likely to capitalise on the success of its predecessor, but it's certainly not worth existing users upgrading. For those looking for their first compact system camera, the Nikon 1 is a good investment, while those who already own DSLRs ...
Great looks; Compact lenses; Super-smooth screen; Excellent low-light performance
Low resolution; Some stepped compensation in films; expensive
If you need high-speed burst shooting and excellent low-light performance in an attractive and compact interchangeable lens camera, you'll find it with the Nikon 1 J2. However, the 10.1-megapixel resolution might limit what you can do with the output, ...
Hybrid autofocus system is decent, point-and-shoot simplicity for novice users, fast burst mode, small lens size may be a benefit, improved LCD screen resolution compared to J1
Little new compared to predecessor, small sensor image quality a little behind its competitors, difficult menu system for more advanced users, some auto white balance inconsistencies, electronic-only shutter, no hotshoe, no possibility of viewfinder, slow
There’s little new to be found in the Nikon 1 J2 compared to the J1, and while some menu adjustments are there to make more advanced use that bit easier we still don’t think it quite clicks. More-advanced users won’t be on board with the J2, though mor...
