The Nikon 1 J2 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-30mm & 30-110mm Lens takes the amazing J1 camera and adds even more impressive features: an incredibly sharp LCD monitor with twice the resolution, a Creative Mode that puts an arsenal of imaginative photo modes at your command (mind-bending panoramic photos, dramatic NIght Portrait and Night Landscape functions, Backlighting, or total control with the PSAM mode), and a control that will highlight a single color of your choice in any photo.
Like the J1, this is a compact, easily portable digital camera. The mirrorless design allows the camera to be extra-small and lightweight, while still retaining all of the best qualities of larger cameras. Featuring a CX-format High-Speed AF CMOS Sensor and an EXPEED 3 dual image processor, this small image-maker always exceeds your expectations. The sensor enables great photos even in low light, while the EXPEED 3 enables superior system performance, high-speed processing, advanced phase detection autofocus and high-speed data transfer rates.
The 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 VR Zoom Lens features a 3x zoom range and a silent stepping AF motor (STM) that's ideal for shooting video. It has image stabilization (VR II) to combat the effects of camera shake, and the angle of view ranges from 29.4° to 77°. The lens's minimum focus distance is 7.87", and the filter size is 40.5mm. The 10-30mm is a versatile lens for applications ranging from wide-angle landscapes to tight portrait shots. Three aspherical lens elements ensure high image quality, even at the widest aperture settings. The 10-30mm zoom range enables excellent capture of fine detail at any focal length. Internal Focusing / IF technology enables the compact, lightweight construction, as well as a close focusing distance. A multi-layer lens coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level.
The included 3.6x zoom 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 telephoto lens (81-297mm 35mm equivalent) is ideal for isolating subjects from the background with clarity, and also has Internal Focusing / IF to maintain a compact size--even when using the zoom. It also has image stabilization (VR II) to combat the effects of camera shake. Its telephoto coverage makes it great for a wide array of scene types, from sports to portraits. Enjoy superior sharpness and color correction--even at the widest aperture. Your photos will be crystal clear and sharp at any focal length. Capture sweeping vistas with maximum depth of field. Nikon's Super Integrated Coating helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level, and also assists in the creation of superior color balance and reproduction. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass reduces chromatic aberration to provide superior sharpness and color correction. The lens's angle of view ranges from 8.2° to 29.4°. The lens has a minimum focus distance of 3.3' (1.0m) and a filter size of 40.5mm.

Aside from the included 10-30mm and 30-110mm lens, you may choose a single focal length 10mm lens, a 10-100mm silent zoom lens specifically designed for shooting video (as well as stills, of course), or an extremely compact 11-27.5mm lens.
