This convinced first by its compactness. Of course, the camera is not comparable to an ultra-small digital clippers, but when you consider what the Nikon 1 V3 it does more, its size is really pleasant. It is also very good in the hand and is plus processed dibasic. Nothing wobbles or creaks.
These scores Nikon with a model (296seitigen!) German manual (I downloaded the manual from the internet it is, however, also a printed manual included). That is not, of course, I had to find, for example, when Sony RX10. Here Nikon is much better and has done an excellent job. Who times an afternoon taking time will receive a good introduction to the world of Nikon's camera system without previous knowledge, because this is really all super declared, so you can understand it even as a beginner.
When it comes to picture quality, I have nothing to complain about at the Nikon 1 V3. Because this is really damn good. Even in automatic mode, the camera delivers great results. By manual controls, you can also take self-scepter in his hand, and set the priorities. The focus of the Nikon 1 V3 works well and very quickly. Only on the flash quality I am a little disappointed because the unfortunately seems to be a little weak on the chest to me.
A great pity it is, however, that for the Nikon 1 is so little choice of lenses. Here one can indeed obtain remedy by a bayonet adapter you can buy in order to use other Nikon lenses can. But overall I like this implementation not quite. There are no viewfinder Well, this is a matter of taste. I do not miss him dearly and who comes from the world of digital cameras, probably not missed him so much. Nevertheless, I must admit that as a seeker sometimes has its advantages and that you have to buy more (at great expense) it makes things not very attractive. Doing so, however, then there are no possibilities to improve the flash, because the shoe is then already occupied. Hmph! That makes everything a little inconsistent impression.
Another negative point is the use of microSD cards for me. Anyone who has the eye for thought? Far too fiddly and small! So I can not really make friends ...
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, a great system camera, which is very well suited for novices who want more. Most importantly, a great image quality is achieved. Nevertheless, there are one or the other point of criticism such as the weak flash, or the use of microSD card. Therefore, the Nikon 1 V3 gets by me only for scarce four star.
