Steve’s Digicams: análisis a fondo de la Nikon 1 J5 – la ruptura con Aptina

No es para mi, pero no está mal.

Ya hemos visto en los últimos días bastantes análisis de esta maquinita que ha supuesto la ruptura de Nikon con Aptina y su asociación con no se quien ¿ Sony ?, y está claro que ha supuesto un punto de inflexión muy favorable y del que todos los «nikonistas 1» deben alegrarse.

Hoy en Steve’s Digicams se publica el análisis a fondo de la Nikon 1 J5 y yo, sin más, os pongo lo de siempre para esta WEB.

Hala, que lo disfrutéis.

• A $1,049.96 MSRP body plus 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4-5.6 lens (in Silver/Black and Silver/White only)

Pros:

• Good upgrades over Nikon 1 J4, including 20.8-megapixels of resolution
• Additional mode dial options make J5 easy to use
• Up to 20 frames per second photos at full resolution with continuous autofocus
• Silent shutter that can record images at a speed up to 1/16,000th of a second
• Little to no shutter lag
• Good mix of automatic and manual control features for varying photography experience levels
• Small, good-looking camera design
• Nikon changed design from J4 to allow J5 photographers to more easily hold the camera, adding narrow handgrip area and thumbpad
• Two command dials make working through stored images faster
• Touch screen LCD simplifies operation
• LCD screen can tilt up to 180 degrees to allow for selfies and to combat glare problems
• Can share photos with mobile devices through Wi-Fi or NFC connectivity
• Offers 4K video recording
• Plenty of movie special effect options

Contras:

• Image quality is adequate for small-to-mid-sized prints with the kit lens, but it’s a little soft with large prints
• Control button collection looks more like a point-n-shoot camera than an advanced model
• Camera interface is improved from past Nikon 1 mirrorless models, but still requires too many steps to make certain changes
• J5 works slowly when changing settings with too many delays; seems like a sluggish camera in terms of its operation
• With image review turned on, shot to shot delays are too long
• Kit lens zoom ring works awkwardly; it’s tough to turn smoothly and ring doesn’t stop moving once the focal length range limitations are reached
• 4K video recording limited to 15 frames per second
• Camera uses microSD sized memory cards
• No option for adding viewfinder or external flash
• Wi-Fi only works with smartphone or tablet with Nikon app installed
• Popup flash overheated during my tests, locking up camera for several seconds
• Battery overheated during my tests, causing camera to power down automatically
