5 out of 5 stars   fantastic n1 lens with free camera
By Lee_from_CT on May 18, 2016

Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 14.2MP Mirrorless Digital Camera with 10-100mm VR Lens (Refurbished) (NK1J310100WHRB)
Pros: If you are a Nikon n1 camera series fan; you would probably enjoy this lens. Plenty of professional reviews on the internet so I won't waste your time here; but in summary, just a really sweet lens for capturing a wide variety of outside shots when there is reasonable daylight. This is an especially nice lens for shooting your favorite sporting events (your kid's soccer practice, etc). At least as good as or "better" than any other zoom lens, of any size, for any consumer DSLR of any size, bar none. (Of course, if you want to spend a lot more money and carry around a physically larger lens; any number of "professional" quality optical systems could blow this lens away, on any number of scientific measurements; and you can get adapters to use pro-level lenses on an N1. but for what this lens was designed to do (at the sub-professional level); I say: the best. This is a very good price for this excellent lens; around half off. Plus: you also get a "free" j3 camera.
Cons: 1. This lens fits the N1 series of cameras only; not aware of any adapters for larger cameras or for different brands. 2. The J3 is amateur/beginner oriented; it's not a "bad" camera; just IMHO the J3 does not compare well to other offerings from several other camera makers; and it does not compare well to the J4 or the J5. It really shoots about the same as my old J1. Not sure what I will do with my J3.
Other Comments: Great lens; unimpressive camera. This fine lens is wasted on the J3. However, there are several "better" N1 series cameras available.

4 out of 5 stars   Great little camera
January 10, 2015
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 Mirrorless 14.3MP Digital Camera w/ 10-30 VR Lens (Red) Factory Refurbished (NK1J31030RRB)
Pros: Small, easy to use, takes great pictures (I'm used to standard point and shoot cameras), easy to carry around on trips.
Cons: Video record button right next to button that takes photos so a couple people pressed that by accident when taking our photo. Once you know it's there though it is not a problem.
Other Comments: Haven't used all the functions yet or any other lenses...

5 out of 5 stars   Just what I expected
By T on December 18, 2014
Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 14.2MP Black Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Lens Factory Refurbished (NK1J31030KRFB)
Pros: I like the speed of the camera and it does well in low light conditions too. The screen is very clear and the camera is small and light. Good camera to have on your person as it does not take up much space and is ready to use quickly. The start up time is nice and quick.
Cons:
Other Comments: No EVF but, the screen is very clear.

Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 14.2MP (White) Digital Camera with 10-30 and 30-110 VR Lenses - Deluxe Kit (E1NK1J31030WHRB)
Pros: It maybe took a few days to be delivered, but this refurb camera bundle has been a great value so far. I had a Pentax Q10 previously -- this seems to be a distinct upgrade.
Cons:

5 out of 5 stars   For Baby
By Proud Papa on December 04, 2014
Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 14.2MP (White) Digital Camera with 10-30 and 30-110 VR Lenses - Deluxe Kit (E1NK1J31030WHRB)
Pros: Fast autofocus and burst shooting. Easy to capture the perfect expression.
Cons: You need high iso for indoor shots; the autofocus slows down considerably in bad light.
Other Comments: Wonderful small camera. Low light shots lose a considerable amount of detail due to high iso and noise reduction but they are still useful. They are a huge step up from cell phone pictures.

November 16, 2014
Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 14.2MP Black Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Lens Factory Refurbished (NK1J31030KRFB)
Pros: Through the lens focus, RAW files, bright clear LCD, small light
Cons: menu intensive
Other Comments: I purchased refurbished and figured for the money ($199) I can use it as a kick around. pleasantly surprised at the image quality (my DSLR is a D800) and the ability to buy additional lenses (also refurbs) inexpensively.

5 out of 5 stars   Nikon 1 J3 - an excellent small interchangeable lens.
November 03, 2014
Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 14.2MP Black Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Lens Factory Refurbished (NK1J31030KRFB)
Pros: At the price of less than 200 USD it is a real good bargain. Deliver high quality pictures. Quite large range of ISO number. Can use in manual mode to overcome some difficult lighting situation. Excellent video.
Cons: Is is not easy to put in the pocket. Most likely it will not fit. Can not use with stronger external flash.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Value
By Rocco''s Dad on October 13, 2014
Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 14.2MP (White) Digital Camera with 10-30 and 30-110 VR Lenses - Deluxe Kit (E1NK1J31030WHRB)
Pros: I bought this camera with the additional telephoto lens. Great product and exactly what I needed for my sons soccer games. It takes excellent action shots in auto mode. Super fast - excellent quality. Initially, I didn't realize the memory card made a difference in the speed of the camera. So I purchased a faster card than what I had in my much older digital camera.
Cons: If this camera had a viewfinder and the deal came in black instead of white... it would be perfect. But for the money you cannot go wrong. I ordered a black silicone cover and black hood for the lens and can't wait to see how it looks. The bag is very feminine and looks like a purse... I don't use it and don't know many men that would. Given these setbacks... still 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars   Great Camera
By Suzzie on October 09, 2014
Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 14.2MP White Digital Camera with 10-30mm VR Lens Bundle Factory Refurbished (E2NK1J31030WHRFB)
Pros: This camera is easy to use. Pictures are sharp. I love the SLR feature! I am a novice and this works very well for me. It is not too bulky. I received the camera quickly and in great condition.
Cons: The lens cover did not come with a strap. That was ordered separately. Being a novice, some of the instructions, were a little harder to understand, but most I could figure out.

5 out of 5 stars   Nice camera with lots of features for a great price
By HawaiiLife08 on October 08, 2014
Review submitted for Nikon 1 J3 Mirrorless 14.3MP Digital Camera + 10-30 VR Lens White Factory Refurbished (NK1J31030WHRFB)
Pros: I have a small click and shoot camera that is just getting too old. I wanted to upgrade to a better camera and this fits the bill perfectly. It takes great pictures, I like how I can take sport shots, 1080P video and easily take panoramic shots. On top of that, the price point is ideal.
Cons: It would be nice if it has touch-screen, but I am fine without it.
