Nikon 1 J5 Landscape Photography Detailed Analysis
Live-view
Making fine focus adjustments using live view is more precise than doing it with a viewfinder.
Very High Resolution Sensor: 21.0MP
Nikon 1 J5's 21.0MP sensor is perfect for landscape photography. It will capture a lot of fine details and let you print them larger.
Average sized 1″ (13.2 x 8.8 mm) sensor
Nikon 1 J5's 1″ (13.2 x 8.8 mm) sensor size doesn't provide image quality of larger sensors but it is still much better then compacts with typical small sensors.
No Environmental Sealings
Landscape photographs are taken outdoors and you should be prepared for all kind of weather conditions.
