The topic of my live stream on YouTube this week was about 1-inch image sensor and if it is good enough for photo and video purposes today. Therefore, I thought it would be fun to bring out the Nikon J1 that has a 1-inch image sensor and did some street shooting. I paired the J1 with Nikkor 18.5mm F1.8 lens, which gives me equivalent focal length of 50mm in 35mm format, which happens to be my favorite for street shooting. I joined a group of friends and we attacked Petaling Street, a popular area for street photographers in Kuala Lumpur, but strangely it is my least favorite location to shoot. Nevertheless, we did have a lot of fun, I got some cool shots with the old Nikon J1 and I have shared them during my live stream session last night. I am sharing the same series of images here in this blog entry.

It's a shame the Nikon 1 system is gone. So small and light, yet so capable! These photos just prove how a good photographer can make the oldest J1 model work beautifully! The best part is they can be found in working order for less than 100 USD today ☺️
ReplyDeleteThey never innovate the 1 system. Olympus at the same time offered weather-sealing, magnesium alloy body, 5-Axis IS, live composite and so much more, with a larger sensor and better lens selection! All about same asking price.
DeleteThis just made me want to get a NIkon 1 J5 myself. Thanks for sharing the shots!
