Nikon Nikon 1 J5 Silver
Its 20.8MP BSI sensor and EXPEED 5A processor enable 20fps continuous shooting with full-time AF, a speed advantage in such a lightweight 231g body. The 180-degree articulating touchscreen pairs with built-in Wi-Fi and NFC for immediate self-recording and sharing without extra accessories. This camera suits vloggers and live streamers who need a portable, fast-focusing setup for 1080/60p content rather than 4K or weather-sealed durability.
