The Nikon 1 J5 is mostly made out of aluminium with magnesium alloy reinforced parts and is therefore heavier than you would think based on its size alone (98.3 x 59.7 x 31.5 mm), weighing in at 231g for the body only (40g heavier than its predecessor, the J4). The Nikon 1 J5 is available in three colour combinations: all-black, silver-white and silver-black. Also on-board is a tiltable 3-inch touchscreen LCD display, an electronic shutter, a sensitivity range of ISO 100-12,800, next-generation EXPEED 5A image processor, built-in Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, a new control wheel, an aluminium housing and a built-in pop-up flash.
Boasting continuous shooting speeds of 20fps with continuous autofocus and 60fps with fixed-point autofocus, 4K and Full HD 60p video capture, time-lapse movie shooting, an advanced hybrid auto-focus system with 171-points, Best Moment Capture and the unique Motion Snapshot Mode, the Nikon J5 also offers more conventional shooting modes like Programmed Auto, Aperture and Shutter Priority, as well as Metered Manual. The Nikon 1 J5 is a new compact system camera featuring a 20-megapixel 1"-type CX sensor format sensor with no low-pass filter and the Nikon 1 lens mount.
