Another Nikon 1 Deal…looks like Nikon USA has a lot of stock to liquidate. This is the best price I have seen on the Twin Kit in a long time. I have this camera and both these lenses already and can vouch for the insanely good value at this price point.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331205602777

This time there is a selection of colours as well;
-Black
-Red
-White
-Pink
-Silver

It states limited quantity available, but last time they sold over 2000 units. On Nikon Rumors there was talk f the possibility that this is a lot of New Old Stock and not refurbished returns, the sheer number of units sold in the last deal does make it seem that way

It won't let me list the other deal as a seperate listing so it has to go here:

Refurb Nikon D3200 + 18-55VR + LR5 USD329.99+35.33 Shipping

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/331205607468

Looks like black only, once again limited stock and 217 sold already

NOTE: shipping will be slow as it goes through eBay's Global Shipping Program (ie seller sends to a middle man who then sends it on a slow boat to Australia)

    That's how much I bought the 30-110 lens for.

    Nice… I got the previous deal with the LR pack in.

    Hi OP, how does this camera shoot in night time with your experience? many thanks,

    • aim54x on 20/05/2014 - 10:20

      (assuming Nikon J1) It is better than any compact camera I have used, and with the 10mm f/2.8 or 18.5mm f/1.8 it really doesnt mind the dark too much. The AF slows down compared to daylight but is still reasonable. If you are willing to ditch colour I am happy with the results out to ISO 3200>

      From my Flickr

      10mm f/2.8 @ ISO 800

        very nice shot, thanks, I am thinking with canon powershot g16, is around $469 at JB HiFi, thanks,

      • schwinn on 20/05/2014 - 11:48

        The size of the images hides a bit of the noise. I have a V1 and performance drops a lot in low light. You can see the noise fully on the 10 2.8 @ ISO800.

      • konazz on 20/05/2014 - 12:21

        shots are good, but there's a fair bit of noise, even when you're using the 10mm - e.g. the waterfall shot, the darker areas underneath the rocks.

        Not faulting the composer (they're actually nice shots), just the camera's noise level. I'm probably just a bit more picky, using old Pentax glass 50mm F/1.4 and a Nikkor f/1.0 on a dSLR… I'm trying to find a camera that won't sacrifice too much of my dSLR's range but in a smaller package for travelling.

        • aim54x on 20/05/2014 - 12:32

          I expect less from this camera compared to my D700, but I do know what you mean.

          I have been trying different mirrorless systems but have yet to find the perfect one. I do like the J1 for it's DSLR responsiveness, but have learned to expect less from it.

          Thanks for the compliment

        • Duff5000 on 20/05/2014 - 21:02

          Grab the Olympus PM2
          You get the image quality from the OMD series cameras for $200-$270 after cashback. Will be much better in low light. You can still use your old lenses though the 50mm will effectivly be a 100mm f1.4

          I have an old Zuiko Auto-s 1.4 50mm that i have used on my Olympus. Works well.

    • blahman on 20/05/2014 - 10:25

      I have a V1 which I think is essentially the same on the inside.
      Night shooting takes a big performance hit with the autofocus when switched over the contrast detection mode. I took it for holidays and found it hard to take decent night pictures on the streets when I need to be on the move all the time.

      • aim54x on 20/05/2014 - 10:27

        It improved with one of the early firmware updates, and having the faster lenses helps a bit as well. But I hear you, moving things at night can be a challenge, but it is the same for even the low-mid range DSLR.

        • bbyboy on 20/05/2014 - 11:34

          i disagree. other low-mid end dslrs have larger sensors and better iso performance for low light shooting

        • Last Seen on 20/05/2014 - 11:55

          Interesting discussion - any recommendations over the J1?

        • bbyboy on 20/05/2014 - 12:06
          +2

          straight off my head i would say the olympus e-pm2 that was posted on here recently

        • aim54x on 20/05/2014 - 12:07

          I meant AF speed wise

        • bbyboy on 20/05/2014 - 12:34
          +1

          my guess is that the epm2 would still be faster. it did claim to have the world's fastest auto focus system at that time. both contrast and phase detection autofocus uses light to determine the focus area so if your camera sensor/lens dont gather enough light, it will struggle. ive got the em5 which has the same sensor as the epm2 and it focuses faster than my phase detection 650d, day or night

        • aim54x on 20/05/2014 - 12:40

          You would have to directly compare them. I can confidently say that the AF is roughly the same (if not faster) in the dark (as well as during the day) as the D40/D60/D80/D7000/A65 that we have in the house, the D300/D700 fare better in low light with a definite advantage but that dissappears in good light.

          Compared to my EP3/K-01, the J1 is definitely faster all around.

          Under good lighting conditions the J1 with native lenses is faster than the EM5, but in low light I have not been able to directly compare.

        • JetLi on 20/05/2014 - 13:11
          +2

          I currently have the V1 and used to own the EPM2, can say the difference in AF speed in goodlight is negligible, the V1 is probably a tad faster, but you'll still have no trouble getting the shot with the EPM2. In lowlight, I actually found the EPM2 to be faster, but not by a lot. The IQ in lowlight with the EPM2 is a lot better though.

  • tonyjzx on 20/05/2014 - 10:53

    90 day US only warranty sounds a bit hmmmm…

    • aim54x on 20/05/2014 - 11:04

      It is standard for Nikon USA Refurbs, it is really up to your call but there is always a MACK warranty. Truth said, at the prices that they are at I figure it is worth the risk

    So I currenly just use a point-and-shoot camera but am going overseas at the end of the year to Europe and would like to upgrade my camera. I'm not really into all the fancy stuff but is this camera a good upgrade without being overly complicated? Thansk from a complete amateur!

    • jlogic on 20/05/2014 - 11:34
      +1

      Depends… I still prefer my S95 over the Nikon J1 when I borrowed one off a mate when they initially came out.

      For me it far too bulky for not too much of an increase in image quality and focusing speed.

      I picked up a S120 earlier in the year from JB after I found out you could stack the discounts so picked one up.

      • Bossfan on 20/05/2014 - 11:48

    How does this compare with the Pentax Q?

    • schwinn on 20/05/2014 - 11:58
      +1

      Q is way smaller, considered a toy-size with big capability. Probably worst off in terms of low-light performance based on sensor size.
      You'd be hard pressed to find a Q twin-lens kit for this price though! Pictures should be better on the J1, although I've not done any research.

    • cheepwun on 20/05/2014 - 12:47
      +1

      How does this compare with the Pentax Q?

      I have the Q and the V1, which is very similar to J1 in nearly all areas. Nikon wins for focus in good light. In bad light they are both bad. I love Pentax Q easy access to direct controls. J1 should have more menu-diving, like the V1. Pentax allows manual focus on the lens barrel; with V1 it's more fiddly and probably the same with the J1. Nikon should win for video performance (if my V1 is any indication). Battery life is better on my V1. With the Q it's way too short. J1 probably will be similar. Q double lens kits came bundled with an F1.9 prime; it's fun but the focal length isn't the most ideal. In truth, you can go pretty far on the ISO on the V1/J1 to mitigate the lack of low-light lens.

      Long story short: I'd probably go the J1 here unless you wanted a smaller camera. But it all depends on your particular needs and wants and priorities. I was most impressed with the Q's interface and controls and its small size (and I'll always appreciate focusing on the lens barrel).

    Is it comparable to sony NEX RANGE?

    • schwinn on 20/05/2014 - 11:56
      +2

      The NEX range has:
      - bigger cameras
      - bigger sensors, which lead to
      - better performance in low light
      - more megapickles
      - third party lenses (?)

      The J1 is:
      - smaller in size
      - faster auto focus (except when comparing with the latest NEX)
      - compatibility with other Nikon lenses via FT-1 adaptor
      - this is excellent value as a package.

    • konazz on 20/05/2014 - 12:28

      Yeah… this is what I'm tossing up. Whether to save $$$ and get this kit + a 10mm f/2.8 or 18.5mm f/1.8 (leaning towards the 10mm for general travel photography) ; or get the last gen NEX 3N 16-50mm kit + better lens?!

      • aim54x on 20/05/2014 - 12:33

        Tough choice, esp with the good deals on the NEX stuff atm.

    • ash2000 on 20/05/2014 - 12:37

      Is it comparable to sony NEX RANGE?

      I sold my J1 earlier this year and bought a NEX. Pretty much agree with Schwinn's comments…. I changed over because I wanted a larger zoom (the e mount 55-200), better low light shooting and wifi.

      But for the price you can't fault the J1. Don't be put off by the low Megapixel count.

      Oh, the LCD screen on the J1 is much better than the NEX range…..larger, clearer, with a much faster refresh rate.

    • aim54x on 20/05/2014 - 16:08

      Thom is a good reviewer, never afraid to critique, you can take it for face value fairly safely. The mode dial has not been a huge deal for me, occaisionally it will be bumped out of position, grip wise it is small/light that it really has not bothered me. As for IQ, well I have no real complaints, everything feels inferior in low light to a full frame DSLR (like a Nikon D700), and I have found that I am happy enough to leave it in aperture priority with only the occaisional need to apply exposure compensation.

      It may be worth having a look at hte Fuji XA1

      http://www.digidirect.com.au/slr_cameras/fujifilm/fujifilm_x…

      The J1 is good but it is not for manual control…too fiddly the Fuji is more expensive but a definite step up in image quality and control.

      The best camera is the camera that you're going to use…. so better to have a not as good but smaller camera if it means you can take it with you everywhere.

      I have both Nikon V1 and J1, very very happy with image quality but low light you can't increase the ISO as much without it getting grainy.

      I had the same issue with my DSLR and not taking it with me…. since getting the V1 I take it with me everywhere and take probably 3 times as many photos!

      One issue you'll have with the J1 is no viewfinder, in bright light you might find it difficult to see the screen
