the difference between the Nikon 1 J3 14.2 MP HD Digital with 10-30mm VR and 30-110mm VR 1 NIKKOR Lenses (White) vs 10-100mm VR 1 NIKKOR Lens (White)

I am not familiar with the second - Nikkor? My Nikon has two lenses and I use them for different things - the 10-30 is more versital but for distant scene shots the 30-110 is great. If you have a camera that has a lense that is 10-100 that covers most of the zoom but - there are many other advantages to the Nikon J3 - the lenses are really only a small part of the total package. I recommend you go to their web site and read about the product. I love mine but I am not a professional photographer.

I really love my J3, it is my carry along camera. The 10-30 is good for everyday shooting and the 30- 110 if you need to get closer. It is not my primary camera but it can do a lot of fun things and I am very happy with it. Hope this helps.

I have the 10-100mm, the 10-30mm, and the 18.5mm. The 10-100mm came with my camera, and I purchased the 10-30mm separately. I end up using the 10-30 more often because of the light weight, and I can stick it in my handbag. The 10-100mm I pull out for landscapes, etc and I have a polarizer on that one. I guess the 2 of them are somewhat redundant, but I like having both, and for me they serve different purposes. The 18.5 is great for portraits and detail, it's super fast.

while the 10-30 and 30-100 are very good. I bought the 10-100 lens for the easy of having one lens to deal with. the nikon 1 series camera has a fast autofocus so i didn't want to slow down by changing lens.

If the v1 isn't much bigger than the J3 camera....then you should definitely have room for a lens on the camera...and one beside it in the bag. I have the 10-30mm and the 30-110mm lens and they fit fine with one on the camera and the other to the side.

The 10-70mm lens is a good basic lens for just starting with the Nikon series, it can be used as a group portrait lens, but you could use a 35mmf/1.8 for the same thing but with better light or available light. This lens can be used with Nikon f-mount. I currently use a D90 Nikon.

I didn't see any difference. I am very happy with mine, it woulds like I believe it should. There was only one issue with the viewfinder which in my opinion become too easily detached, but I am sure that's only my model. I would say do more research on this 1d in comparison to others. You can always buy and return it to if you don't mind spending a few bucks on shipping it back if you don't like it.

I own both. Bought one of first 18-200s made in Japan to go with my first dslr: D50 that I got for a trip to the Bahamas. Have wonderful images I still enjoy. Now have lightweight D5000 and super D7000. Bought 18-140 for light weight to hike w/D5000. Use 28-200 w/D7000 otherwise. Both focus quickly, iq is similar. Both have VR but 200 has active mode for shooting while moving, which I love. So 140 wins on weight, price, while 200 adds focal length and versatile VR.

The entire J- series is great so ou can't go wrong with either. The differences are subtle, but may be important -- depending on what you like. The J1 has a metallic body as opposed to the J3's plastic, and the J3 is a little thinner, so the J3 wins on lightness. The J3 has a bit fast lens, but it may not even be noticeable in practice. The J3 has few buttons on the back and you must go into the menu to access things that are easily accessible on the J1, but the back looks more streamlined. The one thing I absolutely do not like about the J3 is that the flash pops up automatically and must be stopped from doing so through the menu, whereas the J1 is only activated if you pop up the flash manually. I hardly ever use th flash so I hate having to de-activate it every time I shoot with the J3. So, while both cameras are superb, the J1 can be had for half (or less) than the J3. I am not sure the small improvements on the J3, and a little extra weight on the J1, are worth such a price differential.

I have the Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom lens and the Nikon D40 body and everything works very well together.

The difference is the lens. You will have a gap of 20mm that you can't make up unless you buy the 55-250. That is why I bought this package. But keep in mind that even though the other one is cheaper, you eventually find that you will need the 55-250mm lens.

24-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor, 28-300mm VR F3.5-5.6 Nikkor, 70-200mm VRII F/2.8, perhaps the 24-24mm F/2.8 if you're after a bit wider.

depends on your usage, i'd say the 35mm f1.8g because its a better all rounder and is a lot sharper than the 55-200 ( i have both of these ) the 35mm is great for indoors i chose the 35mm 1.8 over the 50mm 1.8 because its wider. The build quality is not that great on the 55-200 and the vr motor gives a noise also the focusing speed is slow on the 55-200mm

I had both lenses and sold the 28-300 after I got the 28mm 1.8. No contest at 28mm. Now i use the 70-300 VR for long range and switch to the 28 prime for wide angle. The flexibility in aperature is also huge for me. If you are just shooting snapshots at 28mm for 4x6 or 5x7 prints you won't be able to tell the difference, but if you are shooting for money or larger prints, the 28mm will resolve much higher clarity especially in the corners on FX.

Its a standard lens you will find on most DSLR cameras except it has VR technology. I have owned a couple of SLR cameras and mostly Nikon. This this is great, Great clear pictures and the HD movies are super clear. The VR is Vibration Reduction (VR) is an image stabilization technology that minimizes blur caused by camera shake. Using a VR NIKKOR lens can result in sharp images in low light, under windy conditions or when using a physically large NIKKOR lens, at up to four stops slower with a VR lens than a non-VR lens. I hope this helps, If anything happened to my camera I would buy another. All though I didn't get everything pictured, not sure why...

The obvious difference is the cosmetics. The G lens is silver whereas the G 2 is white. What I noticed otherwise was the G 2 focuses slightly faster. Both are fine lenses.

No, I would highly suggest going for the VR version for a few extra bucks. This is obsolete. I also would suggest getting a new version as this lens is old and many used ones won't operate correctly.

Outperforms the 70-300 VR in that is can zoom back to 28mm. That is why it is twice the price. It does not produce better images between 70 and 300mm. I would chose the 70-300 for the longest shots, and the 28-300 for shorter. Both lenses are as professional as the person using them, do not be impressed by reviewers waving wads of bills at you, because like a Violin, a Camera/lens is only as good as the user!

I just saw that the new model (pzd) is just 20 dollars more and its lighter. The old version is a great all around lens. I highly recommend it. Recently i bought the 17-50 2.8 VC which way sharper and brighter, but the zoom range of this one is amazing. Good luck

http://mansurovs.com/nikon-55-300mm-vr-reviewThe Nikon 55-300mm VR is a plastic lens with a metal mount, which is easy to carry and handle due to its low weight. Although the lens has a total of 17 optical elements in 11 groups, it weighs only 580 grams.
