Q. I need a really good camera in april (2013), I'm thinking of buying a nikon 1 J1 but I'm not sure, the nikon 1 J2 is too expensive if you look at the differences with the J1 . Shoul I buy a nikon 1 J1? Or is there a better camera in the market which is cheaper or around the same price? It must be digital and have a (not too) big lens. thanks!
A. Look at the Nikon V1. They are ridiculously low priced right now ($299) while stock is left or until Dec 30. If you wait until April 2013, this deal (and all remaining V1s) will likely be gone.

The original MSRP of $899 for the V1 was way too overpriced, but at $299, it is very attractive.
The V1 is an upscale version of the J1, and may or may not be to your liking, but at the price they are selling for, it is an easy decision. The main differences are that the V1 has an electronic viewfinder, and lacks an internal flash, when compared to the J1. It is also slightly larger and heavier, as it has a larger battery, giving about 25% more capacity. The V1 also has both electronic and manual shutters, whereas the J1 only has an electronic shutter.
Oddly enough, the V1 is priced about $100 less than the least expensive J1 that I can find, but if you buy the optional flash for the V1, it will be about $30 more than the J1.
Some reviews have the J1 with a slightly better image than the V1. I am highly skeptical about that as they are essentially the same camera; same sensor, and same digital processor, same lenses.
The only thing I can fathom is that the J1 has a different set of presets than the V1 (which is the old Canon trick), and/or not every reviewer necessarily knows what they are doing anyway.

Digital Camera battery exhaustion?
Q. Hi,
I bought a camera from Stoneberry.com- and I'm making monthly payments on it, a month after I got it, the camera kept saying "Battery Exhaustion" and shuts down.I tried replacing batteries and they work for about 24 hours, then It says the samething, I called up stoneberry and there's nothing they can do since their return policy is 30 days, so I'm stuck paying $149 for a camera that's half broken.
Is there anything I can do to fix this camera? I bought it in April of 2013.
The Camera is a Pro-Series x550 by GE.
I don't think mine has a chargeable batteries, it takes 4 AA batteries.
I have taken about 10 photos since getting it.
I feel like boxing this camera up and selling it to someone and let them pay the rest off, because this camera is horrible with batteries.
The camera was originally $278 but Stoneberry had it on sale for $149 and this was the only camera they would approve me for.I really wanted a Nikkon.

A. For those cameras that use AA batteries - they only last for about 100 photos or so. You did not say how many photos you took since replacing the batteries, but this may be normal.
When buying batteries, only buy Energizer or Duracell batteries, and then only buy them from a store with a high turnover so that you get fresh batteries.
Also limit your batteries to Alkaline or Energizer Lithium. Or if you want to go rechargeable, you can get a set of 4 Ni-MH batteries and charger for under $20. If you go that route, avoid the Energizer or Duracell batteries in that case, as they are low capacity. Buy either PowerEx or Enelop XX as they have a higher capacity.
Avoid bargain batteries at a dollar store, or carbon zinc batteries. Especially the latter as they are very prone to leaking.
