recommended to use a flash for indoors.

how about the AF with FT1 adaptor ? J1 with 70-300mm is very good combo to get 810mm focal length..

to get the best quality you need to lower the ISO speed. but when you lower the ISO speed the shutter speed wil also become longer which will normally result in camera shake or subject movement.
so you can make the light brighter (with a flash) or make the aperture bigger.
if your subject is not moving just use a tripod.
V1 is pretty good at ISO100, but you gonna need a tripod.
For indoor dim lighting it is very hard to control the quality, if you are picky.
This is with FT-1 and 70-200mm VRII. AF at night is not so good.
This photo is purely test shot.

look great on ISO 100 clear & sharp
For low light I use shutter priority at iso 3200 instead of aperture priority. This gives me better control over shutter speed and sharper pictures. I can live with the noise at 3200.

Sorry, I'm a noob - but this looks FVCKING awesome! (pardon my french!)
I'm gonna try out night shots again with my J1!
Good light comparison:
Low light comparison:
Make a guess which is by Nikon J1 and which is by Nikon D90?
Wow - your night shots are amazing! I couldn't find this place in Seoul when I made a trip there in May, but my night shots with the J1 weren't as good as this! Hard to believe this is handheld! Are you a surgeon??!!
Was in Malacca recently, took all my pics in full auto regardless of lighting condition, was very happy with the result. Using the 10-30mm lens, here are some night shots to share, all straight from camera jpg, no pp done:
1) Nikon J1, f/3.5, 1/10s, 10mm, ISO 3200
Night alley
2) Nikon J1, f/3.5, 1/15s, 27mm, ISO 800
Dinner
3) Nikon J1, f/3.5, 1/30s, 10mm, ISO 900
Night Market
4) Nikon J1, f/3.5, 1/60s, 10mm, ISO 800
Stall
5) Nikon J1, f/3.8, 1/30s, 12.7mm, ISO 800
Drink
If we all had that kind of budget, of course!
OM-D still selling at $1700+, you can pick up a J1 for less than $500 BNIB now!
Nikon has come out with a new lens for Nikon 1 users!
A very usable 18.5mm f/1.8!

Great, this is good news, a fast lens!
Yep! I hope so!
Rumours are that it will be priced below USD200...hopefully it will be out in a month's time as I will be making a biz trip to the good ol' money printing capital of the world!
Also, hopefully, USD/SGD will be 1:1
