There are few reservations, but the pros outweigh the cons, and we enjoyed our time with it. If you’re looking for a small travel camera, definitely keep this one in mind. For $500 that includes a decent 10-30mm VR 3x zoom, this is a really good deal.

Outstanding burst mode, Solid, quality images, Compact, affordable, Good ISO performer

Weak battery life, Electronic stabilization, not optical, Single burst only last for 20 frames
If you're not a serious shutterbug, you'll appreciate the ease of using the fast-shooting Nikon 1 J5 mirrorless camera.
-
+
Incredibly fast focus and 60fps burst shooting. Tilting touch-screen LCD. Built-in flash. Quite compact. 1/16,000-second electronic shutter. Includes compact zoom lens. Built-in Wi-Fi.
-
-
Some autofocus inconsistency. Small sensor limits depth of field control. No EVF option. 4K video limited to 15fps. No mic input. Slow 1/60-second flash sync. Omits mechanical shutter. Lens shows heavy distortion when shooting Raw.
The Nikon J5 is the newest in Nikon's 1 series mirrorless camera line and is the first in the series to offer 20MP resolution. (Note: the first Nikon 1 cameras had 10MP, while the most recent, the V3, had 18MP resolution).
It looks like Nikon is heading in the right direction in more ways than one with the Nikon 1 J5.

Excellent 20 fps burst speed, Fast, accurate autofocus, particularly for facial detection, Small body, Tilting touchscreen, Sharp, colorful images, User-friendly design

Smaller sensor than most mirrorless cameras, Takes Micro SD cards
The Nikon 1 J5 is a nice mirrorless ILC that makes quite a few improvements from the Nikon 1 J4. However, it still has enough minor annoyances that add up quickly to make it lag just behind some similar mirrorless models.
-
+
Good upgrades over Nikon 1 J4, including 20.8-megapixels of resolution, Silent shutter that can record images at a speed up to 1/16,000th of a second, Little to no shutter lag
-

Image quality is adequate for small-to-mid-sized prints with the kit lens, but it's a little soft with large prints, Control button collection looks more like a point-n-shoot camera than an advanced model, Camera interface is improved from past Nikon 1 mirrorless models, but still requires too many...
The Nikon J5 brings the Nikon J-series cameras in line with its competition and greatly improves upon the J4. Using a 20.8-megapixel BSI CMOS CX-format sensor, the J5 takes sharp images with good dynamic range, especially at lower ISO speeds.

Photographer-friendly controls; Impressive dynamic range for its class; Very fast hybrid autofocus; Fast high-speed shooting capabilities; Tilting touchscreen display.

No hot shoe or viewfinder; Aggressive noise reduction, even at base ISO; 4K video is limited to 15fps.
Nikon is to be commended for greatly improving the photo and video quality of the Nikon 1 series. The new $500 J5 is the first camera in the lineup I wholeheartedly recommend. This is a great camera for parents with children, as it really does a great job capturing frenetic kids in motion — or other...

Very good image quality Fast, accurate burst mode Built-in flash 1080/60p video Compact and lightweight

No hot shoe for external flash Photos not as rich as those of larger-sensor competitors, weak battery life
The Nikon 1 J5 is a compact mirrorless with a unique 20 megapixels sensor which provides ultra-fast Phase-Detect autofocus, 60 FPS continuous drive and 4K Ultra-HD video at 15 FPS. The J5 packs all this into a sturdy compact body which features dual control-dials and a traditional mode-dial.

Noise-free until ISO 400, Nicely usable images until ISO 3200, Ultra-fast autofocus until very low light, Excellent metering, Virtually no blackout without Instant Review, Superb shot-to-shot speed without Review, Quick and responsive, Good LCD sharpness, Extremely quiet, Solid build quality

Limited dynamic-range, Cropped LCD coverage & not Exposure-Priority, Poor LCD visibility in bright and low light, Video recording delay, Instant Review impacts performance, Cropped field-of-view for 4K Ultra-HD video, Short battery-life
The J5 is fun to use, and it offers a good set of special effect features that will appeal to those going from a point and shoot camera to their first interchangeable lens model.
The Nikon 1 system is often underrated because of its small 1-inch CX sensor but it offers both stunning autofocus performance and continuous shooting speeds. The problem is that the series didn’t get off on the right foot.
I have had the Nikon 1 J5 for a little more than a week and I love it. I was waiting for the DL-24-85 to come out but since it has be delayed and I could wait so I bought the J5. I have been using the Nikon 7000, it's a little old but still a great camera.
I bought the silver j5 for both the 10-100 lens and retro look. This is in addition to the N1 V3 that I already own. The J5 has a newer processor and is about half the price of the V3. I was looking for more lens coverage and flexibility of having two bodies on the same Interchangeable lens system.
I like this camera because it has all the qualities of a SLR and is small like a non-SLR camera. It takes great pictures and is easy to use. The only thing is that I purchased this in November and I just saw it for a $100 less, so timing is everything for a purchase.

Easy to Use, Fast Shutter Speed, Good Battery Life, Good in Low Light, Great Resolution, Great Zoom, Large Clear LCD, Small / Compact
It's otherwise a really nice camera and I was due for an upgrade anyway so I'm going to keep it. Just disappointed about the misleading video specs.
-
+
Small and lightweight with all of the features of the larger DSLR cameras.

I bought it based on the slow motion video specs since I occasionally need to capture high speed machinery at work. What the specs fail to disclose is that the slow motion clips are limited to 3 SECONDS EACH, which makes it pretty well useless except for some novelty clips since it's really hard to...
So after a few years with my J3... I got my J5, and I love it. First, my qualms: Totally cosmetic, but, the white body does not match my white lenses. The old white is warmer, this new white is cooler, more neutral. The white 18.5 (what I use 90% of the time) looks terrible on it.

VERY GOOD PRODUCT
I bought it about 18months ago I doe's everything I want it to, could not be happier.
Just got this camera three days ago and I love it! I was looking for a "pocket-able" ILC; comparable to RX100 mk IV that I've been using for year and a half. Although from certainly technical capabilities standpoint RX100 has better spec, from usability stand point, J5 is...
