A complete package in the sum of its properties

n / A ? Also read thousands of tests and reviews?

Can also make crazy test results and opinions of supposed experts?

Also had the feeling it may not be what should not be? Ranging in size, which can not fold.

And the external essential completely left out or through the crowded with input head completely overlooked?

Correct: taking pictures.

I now call no technical details of the camera, no laboratory test and measurement data.

I give below my personal impressions again. As a reference I call the camera models that I could call my own, and thus to test or use.

I had so far (I limit the time on a reasonable period of time):

Nikon D40, D60, D3000, D3100, D5000, D90, D7000

Sony V1, HX1, HX5, HX100V

What I'm looking for: A camera the less specialist (this may be a thing almost perfectly and everything else is not or only of compromises) as generally a tool for me to catch my life and in an appealing quality.

Every now and then the opportunity to make targeted "Photos of me" and suitability for everyday use.

What must be clear: Each camera is in any way a compromise.

My result:

The J1 is small but full of technical details that ultimately lead to beautiful pictures and make your life easier. You "degenerates" to pure tool, the motives come to the fore.

I deliberately say "nice" pictures. None of the previous cameras (one probably. With the exception of D7000) has so harmoniously exposed and the colors chosen.

The flash is weak, but is sufficient in most situations for brightening events.

Picture quality is very appealing to ISO 800. But even with smaller prints, you can go without hesitation higher.

Do not misunderstand: noise is present, but in a non-disruptive manner.

Motion Snapshot has not spoken to me personally, but rather the Smart Photo function.

Here, the camera shoots a series images and selects the five best under which you can then select Favorites.

Video:

I personally like the 720 60p mode more effective because it is completely liquid, enough HD offers resolution and is on my iMac without conversion directly editable and playable.

Colours are well balanced and the focus is tracked imperceptibly and quickly without noise.

All in all, the camera is a round package, without a lot of photographic and technical effort to create appealing photos.

You get a complete package for the money and is sufficiently equipped for most situations.

The Objetive are very visually consistent and affordable price.

I would buy again.
