Slickdeals: Nikon 1 J4 w/ 10-30mm Lens $249 or w/ 10-100mm Lens $449

From Slickdeals: Buydig has the Nikon 1 J4 18.4MP Digital Camera w/ 10-30mm Lens $249 or w/ 10-100mm Lens $449 with free shipping.

The kit with the 10-100mm is cheaper than buying the lens alone!

What is the comparison of the 10-100mm on that camera and a lens on a DX? My wife likes the 18-200 on her D7000 and I have thought about getting her a smaller mirrorless since it would be easier for her to shoot.

The CX multiplier is 2.7 versus 1.5 for DX. So the 18-200mm is equivalent to 27-300mm in FX while the 10-100mm is 27-270mm. I haven't used it, but the touch screen and built-in wifi are intriguing. If I wouldn't have bought the second V2 last month, I would have jumped on this. Many of the images from our recent Key West trip used the 10-100mm.

Though not quite the exact lenses, check out this for a visual comparison: Compact Camera Meter

The zoom sounds close enough. I did check Snapsort to compare the two cameras and the IQ was much lower than the D7000. Nikon J4 vs D7000 - Our Analysis

Will have to look elsewhere. I would not want to give her any lower quality but also do not want a extremely large outlay of cash.

Showed my wife the J4. She loved the idea of the touchscreen, connecting to her iPhone and the no cap lens. Oh and the white body was cute. Anybody wanna buy my second V2? LOL
