When you consider the fact that this mirrorless camera is interchangeable with a wide variety of Nikkor lenses it really makes a valid argument for switching out of a DSLR body for many Nikon users.
The ISO of this new camera ranges from 160-12,800. One of the features you’re seeing frequently now and is one of my personal favorites is Wi-Fi and NFC for wirelessly connecting your camera to other smart devices.
The hybrid autofocus comes in handy when shooting with the camera’s 20 frame per second continuous shooting speed (with full AF). Fix the autofocus after the first shot, and the camera will shoot at a blazing 60 frames per second, a speed “not even a pro DSLR camera can match,” says Nikon executive Masahiro Horie.
On the back, you’ll find a 3-inch touch screen LCD with 1.04 million dots and the ability to tilt 180 degrees (it’s great for self portraits, Nikon says). A special Self-Portrait Mode can help make you look beautiful by softening your skin and giving you self-time and exposure compensation controls through the touchscreen.
On the video recording side, the camera does shoot 4K video. That’s the upside. The downside is that it can only capture 4K at 15fps — a frame rate that will be largely unusable for serious purposes.
The Nikon 1 J5 will be available in silver/black, silver/white, and all black flavors starting at the end of April. It will cost $500 when bundled with a 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, $750 with the 10-30mm and an additional 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 lens, and $1,050 when bundled with a 10-100mm f/4-5.6 lens.
