The Nikon 1 J4 all in one lens is probably the best point-n-shoot camera. The camera is portable, user-friendly and fun to use, capturing lovely images. I've had at least 5 people walk up to ask me about my tiny camera with interchangeable lenses (yes, I already bought the 30-110mm lens.) They comment on the camera's very portable size and surprise about the interchangeable lenses and seem impressed with the crisp display. I'm impressed that Nikon 1 J3 can make my photos look good.
Pros:
The most amazing feature that most people do not know about is the 1200 frame per second high speed video mode. The resolution is limited and you can only shoot 4 seconds, but if you need it, this feature is a deal maker and enough to justify the purchase. For anything from analyzing golf swings, to debugging flickering LEDs (what I use it for), it is an amazing tool.
Con:
Must remove the battery to charge- it does not charge though the USB port. This means that you must bring the bulky charger with you rather than the USB cable you probably are bringing anyway. This is silly. It also means that you have to remove your tripod shoe every time you charge your battery and loose any alignment you had
