Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 Q&As

Hello everyone! I'm thinking about buying my first N1 camera and I think J5 is the best option out there. But i'm not sure if i should do it so i'm asking for advice. My only camera is D610. Well, i also have an iphone and my first camera - D40, but let's not count them. For the main part of my life i'm interested in automotive photography only and my collection of lenses is not that great - 50/f1.8 and my favorite lens of all time 70-200/f2.8VR (1st gen, but still great). For the first time...

hey all. I just picked up a Nikon 1 J3 with Nikkor 10-100mm lens. It was working perfectly, turned it off and come home a few hours later and it started to give me issues. Now when I'm trying to take a pic, the screen is black unless I'm zoomed in to 100mm. If I zoom out it gradually goes black. I cant take any pictures unless its directly pointing at a light source at 100mm. I know there was a recall but its with the 10-30mm lens, that I don't have. help? :{

Is the newer lens "1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6"  http://www.europe-nikon.com/en_GB/product/1-nikkor-lenses/1-nikkor-vr-10-100mm-f-4-0-5-6 a replacement of the older 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM http://www.europe-nikon.com/en_GB/product/1-nikkor-lenses/1-nikkor-vr-10-100mm-f-4-5-5-6-pd-zoom ? Is the powered lens 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM obsoleted? What was the reason Nikon introduced 1 NIKKOR VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6, is it any better than the powered 1 NIKKOR VR...
