  • Fun and approachable
  • Fits in a jacket pocket even with kit zoom attached

The editors didn't like

  • A touch pricey
  • No hotshoe
  • No built-in stabilisation
  • Doesn’t offer a significant step on from previous iterations in terms of feature set
  • Image quality falls short of rivals with larger sensors but not wildly differing price tags
  • Sensor won't match up to larger equivalents
  • Menu system still doesn't feel a total success
  • Pricey (more so than predecessor)
  • No hotshoe or possibility of a viewfinder
  • No ISO 100 option
  • Small sensor
  • No viewfinder
  • Not a touchscreen
  • Still no WiFi
  • Still no touchscreen
  • "Display" button has gone
  • All those fancy "Best Moment Capture" type modes are actually pretty inconsequential
  • Camera body may be a bit too compact for users with larger hands
  • Wind noise on movies
  • Flash performance in still life test
  • Expensive
  • Noise at high ISO settings
  • Poor image quality
  • Badly-designed controls
  • Way too expensive

  • Abstract:  With the Nikon 1 J2 announced only back in August last year, Nikon has quickly added to the J-series range with the arrival of the J3. The most noteable difference over the J2 is the inclusion of a 14.2MP 1in CMOS sensor - the same resolution as that f...

  • Image quality of this mirrorless depends on what it is compared against. Its 2.7X crop-factor sensor puts it well ahead of of most fixed-lens cameras but also behind the majority of mirrorless ones, including its predecessor, the J2 Nikon 1 J2 which uses ...

  • Excellent image quality; Lovely compact size; Comfortable to hold and use;
  • Battery needs work; Creative modes should have more options;
  • The Nikon J3 is one of those cameras that feels fantastic in the hands and is barely noticed in luggage, but because of the lack of its manual or creative controls, won’t be for everyone. Ultimately, if you want simplicity, we’d suggest looking at the...

  • Good screen, Smart Photo Selector, Small size
  • Small sensor, No viewfinder, Not a touchscreen
  • Buying Guide Best compact system camera In some respects, the Nikon 1 J3 feels like the upgrade that the Nikon J2 should have been, and coming only a few short months after it, it looks like Nikon feels the same. The fact that it has a higher resolution, ...

  • Es una cámara que ofrece una buena calidad de imagen y el plus es que es de lentes intercambiables
  • La calidad en video no es tan buena como las fotografías que obtendrás
  • Aunque es compacto, este no es un modelo sencillo hecho para principiantes, sino para los fanáticos de la fotografía que desean tener una cámara de viaje que sea un poco más simple que su cámara réflex profesional....

  • Facile à prendre en main, le J3 a un défaut majeur : son prix. Avec la baisse des prix de modèles précédents et surtout l'arrivée du NEX 3N qui offre plus pour moins cher, les 599 euros de ce J3 nous paraissent trop élevés. Sa note de 3 étoiles tient donc...

  • Autofocus de compétition, Rafale à 60 images par seconde en RAW, Nouvelle ergonomie conviviale, Bonne qualité d'image générale, Stabilisation efficace jusqu'au 1/8e de seconde
  • Toujours pas de Wi-Fi, Toujours pas d'écran tactile, Disparition de la touche "Display", Fonctions "Meilleur moment" en réalité anecdotique, Un peu trop compact pour les grandes mains
  • Nikon est parvenu avec son J3 a faire joliment évoluer sa série J : à l'origine jolis appareils high-techs aux qualités photographiques anecdotiques, les Nikon 1 deviennent enfin crédibles et convaincants sur le plan de la prise de vue. Une très bonne cuv...
