We have cameras in compacts, Prosumers, DSLRs....The new introductions are not new breed but ILCs i.e. Interchangeable Lens Cameras in compact design.....However, let them be interchangeable lens cameras...but the development in sensor(small one) is not that much as to provide u with a DSLR quality....
---But here the beauty lies in Nikon's 1 sries J1 IL camera...compact in design with 10-30mm lens (27-81 in 35mm equivalent)....the number in lens's digital focal length fell down because of the compactness of the same....So in line there is another 30-110mm zoom lens, which u can replace the 10-30mm and shoot closeups, wildlife, birds, candids, since the focal length in 35mm equl. is 81-297mm.....Wonderful, As I use my kit lens of 18-55 on my Nikon DSLR AND ANOTHER 70-300mm lens for other choices.
---The camera is a marvel, as u can use ur other Nikon lenses with the help of a converter.....It has Nikon 1 mount....Autofocus, manual focus and super macro at one cm. The camera has 10 MP CMOS sensor for better image quality...as Nikon has also gone for liking CMOS sensors rather than CCDs....ISO FROM 100-6400....Shutter speed of 1/16000(?)-30 seconds, & 'B'.....LCD SCREEN IS OF 3'' WITH 460,000 dots, better that 350,000 dots.File format-compressed12-bit RAW,JPEG fine, RAW+JPEG.
---The camera lacks optical or electronical viewfinder...However, to view it is Nikon's fastest camera to record high definition videos at 30 fps...super slow motionvideo at 400 fps.. The cameras' EXPEED processor can shoot at a speed of 10 fps with continuous autofocus....next wonder, its maximum burst speed is staggering 60 frames per second....no myth.
-----------------------the price in India is yet to be announced with 10-30 lens and may perhaps be at around Rs.32,000/-....Weight 234gms body only.
---I THINK AS A SECOND SUPPORT, MANY PEOPLE MAY GO FOR SMALL DESIGN, BETTER QUALITY, MORE HANDY AND FAST AUTOFOCUS......Kudos to Nikon....after V1 now J1 may be a better choice......MY mind intrigues:;;;;;;CAN THEY OR WILL THEY LOST LONG---? Let us use and wait. (not see and wait....hahahaha).
