  • Great image quality, Body feels good to hold
  • Controls and menu, Small sensor, Unintuitive
  • The Nikon 1 V1 is an interchangeable lens camera that's capable of supplying great image quality, and it's well built, but it's poor when it comes to usability. Furthermore, its sensor is very small and not up to the standard of competing cameras from Oly...

  • Range of features like slow-motion video and motion snapshot that are fun to use. Excellent viewfinder and screen. Excellent image quality for its class. Excellent HD video quality
  • Control system takes a while to become intuitive. Manual settings aren't easily accessible; options hidden in menus. No art/creative filters. Expensive
  • The Nikon 1 V1 is a lovely interchangeable lens camera, provided you have the time to spend learning its many shooting modes and the price doesn't scare you away....

  • handling is a major strong suit and the V1 always feels as though it's keeping up with the user thanks to the speed of the AF system and image processor. The continuous shooting abilities let the V1 shoot a huge batch of photos and be ready to go again i...

  • Great High ISO performance, Blazing fast and accurate focus system, Solid build quality, Dual Shutters (mechanical and electronic)
  • Pricey, Cluttered menu system, Lack of PASM on mode dial, No auto-focus or exposure correction in high speed shooting mode
  • Nikon has finally arrived to the mirrorless camera party with its Nikon V1 and J1. Though a tad bit late, one could say Nikon was taking the time to not only develop their own proprietary sensor, but also come up with a hybrid contrast-phase-detect focusi...

  • f you will do overall analysis, you will find conclusion that Sony NEX – 7 has biggest sensor, Nikon V1 has advanced & unique features and Olympus PEN E-P3 has compromised in both. If you are looking for larger sensor and much high megapixels and willing ...

  • Abstract:  Interchangeable lens cameras (ILCs) are becoming increasingly popular with consumers as they offer good image quality but are more compact than traditional dSLRs. It therefore comes as no surprise that Nikon would hop onto the ILC bandwagon with its ow...

  • Super fast autofocus speed; 60fps burst shooting in Electronic-Hi mode; good picture and video quality.
  • Average noise ­performance; Auto ISO mode doesn't work well; flash accessory not included.
  • On the whole, the Nikon V1 is a nice MILC that has a good array of features that would attract enthusiasts. It's definitely one of the fastest cameras - for autofocus, subject tracking and continuous ­shooting, the V1 is one of the best in this ­categ...

  • Nikon has named the V1 well. The moniker brings to mind rockets and speed, and the camera is certainly a quick one. While the quickness of the V1 is not compelling, it is interesting, and adds a whole new dimension to the shooting experience.The V1 is a c...

  • Solid build, excellent EVF, Motion Snapshot mode is gimmicky but a nice feature, Smart Photo Selector is great for fast moving scenes, Continuous shooting at 60fps provides exceptional speed for novice users, both mechanical and (silent) electronic shutters available, and very fast AF system,
  • No manual focus ring on lens and digitally manually zooming is cumbersome, rear LCD doesn't accurately represent exposure compensation in Live View, some basic options are hidden in submenus and no special 'art filter' effects.
  • The Nikon 1 cameras are a great first effort by Nikon in the world of mirrorless cameras, with some great features. Great image quality, fast AF (including continuous shooting up to 60fps), and an impressive EVF are a few things that make the Nikon 1 a...
