Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Big inspiration and performance in a beautiful little package.
Ignite your creativity with some of the most stunning images you've ever shot. The 14.2-megapixel Nikon 1 J3 brings your vision to life as exceptional photos, HD videos and Motion Snapshots that will have you capturing more moments than ever. Beautifully designed, remarkably simple and faster than any camera you've ever experienced, the Nikon 1 J3 will become the centerpiece of your creative expression and an endless source of inspiration.
Create at the speed of life
Harness the remarkable speed and precision of Nikon 1
The first thing you'll notice about your Nikon 1 J3 is its extraordinary speed. The LCD display has absolutely no lag. That means you can frame shots faster, pan faster, zoom faster—do everything faster. The Hybrid AF System is the fastest in the world*, so your images will be crystal clear, whether you're shooting a soaring bird or a fidgety child. The shutter fires at a blazing speed—up to 15 shots per second continuously—so you can freeze even the fastest moving subjects.
*Among digital cameras with interchangeable lenses available as of June 1, 2012; based on Nikon research.
Conquer fleeting moments
So many ways to catch the moments that matter
The best moments are made (and missed) in an instant. But imagine being able to slow down an important moment—to see live action in slow motion. With the Nikon 1 J3 camera's amazing Slow View mode, that's exactly what happens. Slow down what you're seeing on the LCD, then select the shot you want. Combine that with Smart Photo Selector, which fires 20 shots with a single shutter press and selects the best five for you, and you've got every advantage for catching those once-in-a-lifetime moments.
Go beyond the still photo
Add stunning HD videos to your arsenal of expression
Your creativity isn't limited to still photos with the Nikon 1 J3. A single press of a button and you'll be recording in dazzling Full HD 1080p video with stereo sound. See something that would make a great still image while you're recording? Simultaneously shoot full-resolution photos without missing a beat. Get the best of both worlds.
Share your creations anytime, anywhere
Wireless sharing to your smartphone or tablet
Your friends and family will love seeing your creations, and with the NIkon 1 J3, you'll never have to wait to share them. Add Nikon's WU-1b Wireless Mobile Adapter (sold separately), and instantly transfer your photos, videos or Motion Snapshots to your smartphone, tablet or compatible Wi-Fi(R) enabled device. Then share them as usual—by email, text message or by uploading them to your favorite photo-sharing website. It couldn't be easier!

I do wish Nikon hadn't removed the 'display' button from the back of the camera, however. You must go into the menu to control what you want to see. And, in the earlier models, the flash is controlled by popping up the flash manually with a button next to it. In the J3, it will always pop up automatically unless you use the flash controller on the back and select non-flash mode. I tend to shoot without flash and I find it annoying to have to turn it off again every time I power up the camera.
The J3 with the 10-100mm lens is just about all the camera one could want. The lens takes the place of two kit lenses (10-30mm and 30-110mm). It is a beautiful lens in my estimation, and remarkably small for its zoom capability. I have all three plus the 10mm and 18.5mm fixed lenses. The zooms are smooth and clean. The fixed lenses are even cleaner. Beautiful bokeh on the 18.5mm (equivalent of the standard 50mm portrait lens in a 35mm film camera).
The J3 is very fast auto-focus, and the pictures are just about as good as one could want. Plenty of detail for blowing up shots if you use the full 14.2mp available. Simply great.
The camera is lighter than a normal DSLR but has the same sensors and has a very good response time. I press the on button and it is ready to go. I don't have to wait for it to start up like my older point and shoot. I also like that when I press lens lock button on the side of the lens and extend it out the camera comes on automatically and shuts off when I retract the lens.
The only thing I wish I would have done was purchase the option with the second lens; other than that I am very happy with the camera.
I love its low light performance, fast focusing, custom shot selections, and the selection of lenses that are available.
What I dislike is its lack of options, when it comes to the flash, the microphone, and a remote shutter control. There is no hot-shoe for a flash to attach to, no external microphone jack, and the only option for external shutter control is to use the wireless adapter (sold separately) with an android or apple device. This camera is also in need of a grip on its right side. If you have tiny hands, this may not be a problem, but for someone like me, it's a big problem. Nikon does offer a grip, but it's a little on the expensive side, considering what it is.
If I could do it all again, I would probably have gone with a different camera.
Then broke. Noticed that happens a lot with the Nikon1 J3 as this was my fourth one I've bought... just bought a new one... packaging already opened and some missing. Not new.
