With the Nikon 1 J5 in your hand, you can leave the limitations of shooting with a smartphone or compact camera far behind. This is the first Nikon 1 camera to feature a large, back-illuminated CX-format sensor, specifically designed to capture the greatest possible amount of light. Every pixel is perfectly reproduced to deliver 20.8-megapixel images bursting with colour and fine detail. Together with the camera’s wide ISO range of 160–12800 and the advanced noise-reduction capabilities of its next-generation EXPEED 5A image processor, you get crystal-clear images no matter what kind of scene you’re shooting. Get creative with the tilting touchscreen and manual controls.
