Of......?
Just been doing test pics, so far. Nothing worth posting yet, as I'm trying to find the limits of the E-M5.

I'm looking at getting a Nikon 1 J2 this month. I want it mainly for taking pictures of cars/bikes at shows for a site. I have been thinking about a Nikon 1 for a number of reasons and now with the price of the J2 I feel I have to give it a shot. If it isn't to the job then I can return it.
What I'm wondering is if the lens that will be good for what I want to do? I will at times want to use it with the kids and for taking pictures of boats while one the waterfront. Here is the specs for the included lens. 1 NIKKOR VR 10-30 mm f/3.5-5.6 Interchangeable Lens (3x optical zoom / 27-81 mm equivalent in 35 mm format). Here is the other lenses available for the Nikon 1 line. http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Pro...ses/index.page James

I wasn't sure about the range of the lens but, after checking the sensor size on the Nikon 1 series cameras, it looks OK for what you want to do. I had thought Nikon had gone with an APS-C sensor in their mirrorless system cameras, but they seem to have used a new smaller 1" sensor instead.
You might want to check out the DPReview Nikon 1 forum and see what they're saying about focus speed. I'm not familiar with the system but you might be surprised how important focus speed is, when shooting kids. http://www.dpreview.com/forums/1058?...t&ref=mainmenu

I recently picked up the new Olympus E-M1 mirrorless system camera. I'm hoping to use it to replace my Oly E-5 DSLR for trackside work, since it's got both PDAF and CDAF. The phase detection sensor is built into the imaging sensor, so I can use my Four-Thirds DSLR lenses on it with an adapter, with hopefully sports level focusing speeds. It's no slouch with the Micro Four-Thirds lenses either.

I only bring it up because I wouldn't recommend a wide-angle lens for shooting portraits. You get a lot of distortion (read: alien head syndrome in your subject).
