Nikon 1 J1 or Nikon P7100?
247132
This is just my thoughts. If you have to buy Nikon, then get J1. If you want to get the best among all compact system cameras, then I would go with Sony Nex 5N or Pana G3 for the price range. If you can spend more than $1000, Sony Nex 7 or Fuji X100 is nice. If you want to save money but get better Image Quality than J1, I recommend Olympus E-PM1. I prefer Canon S100 over Nikon P7100

The best thing to do would be to find the operation manuals for each camera online for free and compare them. After googling "difference between pj790 and nx30" the first link took me to a forum where one user posted the following: "The NX30 differences are the XLR unit and the mic, LPCM audio choice as well as Dolby, bigger battery, full set of cables, full timecode control not just a counter fixed shot/photo button rather than just the photo button. Lot more than $400 !!! It also has 720P60 and not sure if the PJ760 had 720P60." I have not fact checked this. But i own the NX30 and his info is accurate in that regard. I don't know for sure about the pj790v.

I have both and I wouldn't change the D600 for the X-T1 for serious, payed or critical work. Although it's my opinion for the photography I do... maybe for you is different. I would suggest renting one for a week or so, try it extensively and come to a decision. Cheers.

I shoot with the D7100 professionally as an aerial photographer. I am in love with this camera. You'll be blown away by the differences in the camera immediately! First and foremost, the D7100 has several shortcuts to change settings laid out intuitively around the camera, so you don't need to go through menus to change things like auto exposure, autofocus mode, flash level, ISO...etc. once you've become familiar with the body, you'll be moving around efficiently- something you can't easily do with the clunky low end D3100. Image quality is light years above the D3100. Resolution is significantly higher. There are dual SD card slots, which are perfect for long trips when you are away from your computer for an extended period of time, or shoot a massive amount of photos. The D7100 is a very logical next step, and really a wonderful body. Bobby- JetJocks Aerial Photography

I was also deciding on these 2 cameras as a gift for my parents and ended up going with the A570. Another difference I saw with the A570 was the Face Detection feature and the improved Red-Eye Correction - I don't remember seeing those 2 features on the A710. In addition to that, my final deciding factor was the fact that the A570 is a newer model in the Powershot series.If you haven't already, I recommend watching the interactive video on the A570 - it will highlight some of the features I mentioned and is helpful especially if you're not as familiar with the Powershot series.I also purchased the Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries which had good ratings.

Thanks for your interest in this kit. You can use this lens on the Nikon 1 J1 but it is a manual focus lens only.

I just sold my D600. I had the Nikon shutter fixed, which worked fine, so that wasn't the reason. I just enjoy shooting with the Fuji more and I love the lenses. The X-T1 does what I need it to, but don't make the switch if you do much video. Fuji just doesn't make the grade there. It's the same with long telephoto and TTL flash. If you can live with those limitations, the X-T1 is a gem.

I'm certain that both above mentioned cameras produce excellent images. They both have high resolution 3 inch screens, but to say P7000's images are better because they look better on the camera's LCD screen is akin to saying one blonde looks better than the other one from 100 yards out. You can't really make a meaningful comparison until you've uploaded the files to the computer and view them under magnification.

Thanks very much. By the way, we have a Canon G12. I feel it too distorting both colours and proportions and of course slow between 2 clicks. What would you suggest to improve on "fidelity" and speed: A. Canon S100 over Nikon P7100 (and Olympus XZ-1?)?B. Olympus E-PM1 over Nikon J1? C. or Nikon V1 solves everything? PS. I have no Nikon lenses so I am not stuck on Nikon. Thanks

my daughter wanted to move up from a point and shoot. I myself have the d7100. The price was good, the pixels were great and my lenses fit

Yes. The Nikon 1 V1 has both a display AND a viewfinder. Not sold separately. It's a masterpiece, in my opinion.

It should. I don't have a J1 but if it is a 1 system camera it should work with 1 system lenses.

I only recently purchased a used Nikon 1 J1 and this was the battery that came standard with the camera. I did check out Adorama, which is a camera shop I purchase from when buying a lot of big ticket photography items. It seems the batter will work with both J1 and J2. I am attaching a link that has more information about which cameras the battery may be used with. I hope the link displays. http://www.adorama.com/INKENEL20.html

One thing that many people underestimate is the fact that the D7x00 series has an internal focus motor and the D5x00 series does not. When you go to buy lenses, the D7100 can autofocus with TWO DECADES worth of Nikon lenses, many of which are of higher quality and lower cost than the newer lenses that the D5300 would require in order to autofocus. This difference alone would pay for itself after one or two lenses. I am an owner of the D5100 and this is my biggest regret (probably my only regret) about owning it.

Pentaprism vs pentamirror. D7100 has better viewfinder. That's important as the viewfinder is used (almost) every time one takes a photo.

way better, shoots raw, fast autofocus, zoom lens, and so on. But many users reported leaks. I got a Nikon S2 / J4 and WP-N3 housing. cheaper and better than Nikon AW1 and less than half the price.

I had the S75, which is about a year older than the V1. The technology has seriously come a LONG WAY since then. If the light is good, the W50 focuses and takes a picture pretty much immediately. You push the button, it goes click. Great for keeping up with kids! For best results, I have the AF Mode set to "Monitor" so that the camera is always auto-focusing.
