I got the Nikon 1 AW1 bought because I finally have a camera wanted with whom I can take pictures in the surf, and also can lay in the sand on the beach, which I never participate in my Sony Alpha 7 or Fujifilm fearing for the camera ventured. OK this criterion is met, the AW1 really, really a peak travel camera, unfortunately the Bildqulität is more than bad it already roars mightily at ISO 160, although man can make up for something in Lightroom with post, for the screen output and photos I with 13x 18 issue it is sufficient, for all the people which the image quality is not as important and where there is sufficient they can what is in the photo also recognize it is a super camera. Addendum: Since I've compared was scolded for my criticism and I the image quality of the camera with modern system cameras (such as Fujifilm, Olympus or Sony) I would like to say: For all that is to come from the compact camera, or a 6-7 year old SLR camera in the picture quality, a rise or at least not decline
Addendum: Unfortunately, I realized that the camera can also process any high contrast volumes in bright sunlight (eg swimming pool shots) are the bright parts of the image completely uprooted and reproduced without any texture. Therefore I will resell!
