Nikon 1 V1 10.1 MP HD Digital Camera System with 10mm and 10-30mm VR 1 NIKKOR Lenses,3.0 out of 5 stars Useful but quirky, December 26, 2011

Nikon 1 V1 10.1 MP HD Digital Camera System with 10mm and 10-30mm VR 1 NIKKOR LensesPerforms well with such a small sensor. Rear LCD sometimes works, sometimes not.
Be alert that the camera does NOT include auto-bracketing feature.

Like all mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses, it does not go into a pocket. So the question is whether or not the smaller size is really that big of an advantage against a lower-priced DSLR (like Canon Rebel), which clearly produces a better image and one that can be cropped without losing too many pixels.

The 10 m.m. (equivalent to 27) pancake lens is sharp as a tack. Forcing yourself to use it (and giving up zoom addiction) will have you including context along with your subject. This is frequently a very good thing for your photos.

The 10-30 m.m. zoom (equivalent to 27-90} is sharp as well and the 30-110 m.m. (equivalent to 90-300) telephoto is amazingly sharp. There is a 10-100 m.m. which a friend had and found to be unacceptably soft of focus. He returned. I've read the same criticism by others.
