I guess you could say this is a real world rolling review of the latest camera to the fleet, the Nikon J1. Too many photographers are looking for the “one ring” type of camera, and sadly there will never be such a thing. There are many imaging devices out there with different capabilities for different people. The Nikon 1 comes from Japan, which has historically embraced consumer products of smaller form factors in a multitude of color choices. The western world has to realize that some electronics are still designed for the domestic market. While “Japanese” cars are a shadow of their once compact size, cool cameras such as this are still made for delicate hands and fashion sensibilities. So, on one of my random photo hangouts, I asked a friend, a non photographer, and a girl (gasp!) to see what she thought of the new Nikon 1 J1. The best way to test a camera is to go out and use it, especially during this lovely Autumn season.
