In some areas it scores high, but, it still has too much smearing at high ISO's to compete with m4/3.
an interesting read...

DXO... But, DXO does not include Noise as a factor, only sensor specks as far as DR, Speed, Color depth....

those dxo marks are nonsense ill pit any shot from a m 43 camera with good lens against the nikons for file detail and integrity which dxo seems not to measure in the scoring

the nikon are just too aggressive in noise reduction imho compared to the olympus or pannnys best

Thom Hogan has given it a harsh but honest review (he "barely" recommends)

And for anyone wondering, YES Hogan has given some Nikon bodies "NOT RECOMMENDED".....

I try these things out every time I'm in Target. I have some fun with them until I see Ashton Kutcher holding one in the poster behind the stand.

I think Thom gave a descent review on the Nikon J1. Clearly it has the capability for such a small camera, it just lack important controls.

As an alternative review Brian give it a thumbs up.. But it appears biased towards Nikon gear.

I like the J1.. The price should be lowered to under $500.

Cheers,

All mirrorless cameras cost too much.
