*Among digital cameras with interchangeable lenses available as of Mar. 10, 2014; based on Nikon research.
Speed that changes everything
Game-changing continuous shooting speed
Nikon 1 cameras achieve a level of speed and accuracy that once was unimaginable, and the Nikon 1 V3 takes that performance even further. Capture thrilling views of sports, fast action and spontaneous moments with game-changing continuous shooting speed: 20 fps at full resolution with full autofocus performance. When using fixed focus, increase that burst rate to a mind-boggling 60 fps and capture sights other cameras may miss. The Nikon 1 V3's Hybrid AF System uses 171 AF points for contrast detection and 105 AF points for phase detection to lock onto your subject the moment it enters the frame with virtually zero lag on the camera's LCD display. Few cameras are better suited for fast action photography than the Nikon 1 V3.
Image quality that inspires
Stunning photos and videos in any light
Nikon's CX-format CMOS image sensor is one of the most exciting innovations in image sensor design and the secret behind Nikon 1's unrivaled speed, image quality and elegant design. The Nikon 1 V3 pairs an enhanced 18.4-MP CX-format CMOS image sensor with Nikon's new EXPEED 4A image processor for spectacular detail and color rendering, blazing-fast speed and brilliant low-light performance. Shoot sharp, clear, noise-free photos and videos up to ISO 12,800—continue shooting in fading light long after lesser cameras have been put back in their cases. Bring the Nikon 1 V3 everywhere you go, and preserve important moments beautifully.
Performance that exhilarates
High-end design, tilting touch display and compatibility with Nikon 1 and D-SLR lenses
The Nikon 1 V3 delivers exhilarating performance that will invigorate your passion for photography. Its tilting touch display has virtually zero lag, making it easy to shoot at unusual angles. Its high-end design is so streamlined and comfortable to use, you'll bring it on every outing. For those who like D-SLR-style shooting, add the GR-N1010 Camera Grip and DF-N1000 Electronic Viewfinder and feel right at home with the Nikon 1 V3. If you already own NIKKOR D-SLR lenses, add the optional FT-1 Mount Adapter and use them with the Nikon 1 V3! (The camera's 2.7x crop factor will extend the reach of telephoto lenses—turn a 300mm into an 810mm!) Whether it's a companion to your D-SLR or the centerpiece of your photography system, the Nikon 1 V3 is a camera that's hard to put down.
Convenience that saves time
Built-in Wi-Fi for instant photo sharing and remote camera control
Your smartphone or tablet will be your favorite accessory for the Nikon 1 V3.

HD videos that amaze
Cinema-quality 1080/60p HD video, a built-in stereo mic and ultra-smooth slow motion
Nikon 1 cameras are serious movie-making tools. Capture cinematic 1080/60p video with shallow depth of field, or turn a single instant of action into an astounding 120 fps slow-motion sequence. A new Movie e-VR (Vibration Reduction) feature keeps your videos steady during handheld shooting, and Simultaneous Still Image Capture means you can save full-resolution stills without missing a beat while recording video. Whether you're shooting home movies or commercial productions, the Nikon 1 V3 delivers superb footage.

Things I liked:
- The top dial mode dial - nikon added the PSAM options - making it a lot easier to get to these modes that I use. Makes this camera similar to their dslr (I also had a d300 that I gave away). I find myself going to the menu button a lot less now, compared to the J3 and V1.
- Detachable EVF and handgrip. Not everyone likes the removable EVF. My hands are small, so i don't really want the handgrip. I love the detachable EVF, because on trips where space is a premium, I don't pack the EVF, and this V3 is almost as small as my J3.
- 2 dials to adjust aperture and shutter speed: Change Aperture with the small dial on the front of the body, next to the lens. Change Shutter speed with the dial on the top of the body. Makes using Manual mode easier - actually possible - compared to the V1.
- Super fast. This is a very fast camera. fast to turn on, fast to focus, fast to shoot, 10 fps, 20fps, 30 fps, 60 fps - it is very fast!
- Eye sensor off option. If you want to use the EVF exclusively, you can turn off the eye sensor and it stays on the EVF without switching back to the LCD screen.
- Tilting LCD screen - its great. Feels strong and sturdy.
- weight and build feel. This is very subjective. I love the weight and size. I find myself taking this camera almost on all my trips now. The build is very solid
- Able to take high quality photos while doing a high quality video simultaneously. I use this all the time
- The size of the new kit lens. It is much smaller than the old kit lens. But the image quality is not great. I don't use either kit lens. I tend to have a 10-100 zoom and the 10 f2.8 with me when I travel.
- It's a handsome camera with or without the EVF. Makes me happy.... what can i say!
- my daughter took over my J3 - so she is happy too.
- very comfortable in my hands.
- I just received my new 70-300mm zoom. And combined with this camera, it is still not too heavy or large. That's having a 35mm equivalent of 810mm in my bag. The equivalent focal length with a DSLR would be huge and heavy.
Things I don't like, but ok to live with
- The micro SD card - a little inconvenient, but .... whatever....
- The other special nikon modes - cute but i don't use them
- I don't use the optional handgrip - but lots of other people like it
- Would have preferred to just buy the body and the EVF, leave out the kit lens and the handgrip to save some $.
The only thing that disappointed me is that the image quality is not really any better than my J3. It's still very good. Good enough for me as I am not a pro, and when I look at the photos on my 27 inch screen, they really do look great. It's only when people compare the IQ at the finest detail level, that I feel a little disappointed. could be better. I still rate it 5 stars because I enjoy using this camera, even more than I did my d300.
In summary, this is the camera I choose to take with me when i get up and go. I capture photos that i used to miss with my V1 (thanks to the PSAM dial and the speed) and my d300 (because the d300 was so big and heavy, most times at the last minute, i would take my V1 instead). The best camera is the one that you will be happy to take with you, otherwise you will miss the shot. Then who cares how great the camera is that you bought and left at home.
The V3 is my second Nikon camera (my first being a D-90). I've learned so much from my D-90 over the past three years. I've taken pictures I've never thought possible. I was just ready for some portable shooting power... and I got it with my V3! I had a choice to make though. Spend some coin and get the V3- then continue learning and exploring the art of photography. Or spend considerably less and get the J4, but put the training wheels back on. I opted to drop the cash and I haven't been disappointed. The V3 is a solid performer that does not stifle your creativity.
I've been using mostly the 18.5mm lens. It's the perfect lens for street photography. When you get into low-light situations- it also keeps your ISO a bit lower. The battery obviously won't come close to any DSLR- due to the amount of electronic constantly running inside of the camera. Expect a little over 300 shots on a full battery. It's not a bad idea to purchase a secondary battery- if you're a heavy shooter.
I've noticed some of the common complaints about the camera- and tend to agree with most of them. The top of that list is the positioning of the battery door. To replace a battery- you have to remove the grip that comes with the camera. Although it's not difficult to remove, it certainly is another step in the process. Don't expect to do an instantaneous, one-handed battery exchange on the fly. You could go without the grip, but after using it for the first time- you become attached to it. It really fills out the camera and provides a comfortable way to clutch on to your prized possession.
Another minor con is the Electronic View Finder that comes with the camera... Although it works very well, I've read many stories in regards to its fragility. In fact, the owners manual warns you NOT to transport the camera in a bag with the viewfinder attached- which I'm abiding by. I only use it in very bright light- as it's difficult to see the LCD display under such conditions. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope this piece lasts a LONG time.
Also- NOTE- there is no "hotshoe" on this camera. You Nikon SB-700 (or other similar model) will not connect to this camera. I was aware of this when I purchased it, but it seems as if some people are NOT aware of this. The port which accepts the electronic viewfinder, also accepts an additional flash, such as the SB-N7 or N5. The V3's built-in flash is ok if your in a pinch, but you cannot change the position of the flash (e.g. point it up towards the ceiling or a wall) and it also feeds off of your camera battery, as opposed to the N7 which accepts two AAA batteries. Also, in case it's not obvious- you cannot use an additional flash with the electronic viewfinder- there is only one accessory port. There aren't too many situations where you'd want to use both- anyways. If you need your viewfinder and a flash- you'll have to use the built-in flash.
All camera controls are easily accessible, either through the hard buttons or menu options. I love playing around with the Creative Mode- it's definitely fun to tweak the colors of your photos. You're bound to see some interesting results. Every picture I take with the V3 just simply comes out amazing.
So are you looking for a mate to your DSLR? Want to get into photography, but don't want to lug around a huge DSLR with a bunch of lenses? The V3 might be your answer.

Los lentes, tienes una buena gama posibilidades y te recomiendo el Nikon 1 NIKKOR 10-100mm f/4.0-5.6 VR el cual se me hace una buena combinación, claro esta serie también cuenta con lentes luminosos pero la verdad no tiene sentido invertir en ese tipo de lentes, dado que si tienes un equipo profesional puedes usar tus lentes mediante un adaptador.
