The editors liked
The image quality is excellent
Particularly in RAW mode. The lenses are sharp with good resolution at all focal lengths. The extended depth of field — a function of the smaller sensor — will be a boon to most people and an irritant to those who want outo

Here’s a product that will either push you to spend or spend a ton of time trying to find a cheaper equally stellar replacement. The performance and options are undeniable. But that price tag may reassert the archaic fear that this camera will steal their...

The V1 has a light and compact design that does put less pressure on your wrist during long video shots, but its lack of an articulated LCD and focus ring don't make for a very fun video recording experience. The camera does have a responsive and sile...

Expensive. No built-in flash. Very limited lens selection. Few physical controls
The Nikon V1 is priced like a high-end mirrorless camera and delivers solid performance, but doesn't offer the level of controls or lens options that demanding photographers require....

Good still image quality, RAW shooting capability, Builtin viewfinder
Expensive, Optional grip blocks battery, Loss of AF with FT1 adapter
The J1 and V1 share much of the same hardware for still image and video production, along with menus, shooting modes and almost every other quantifiable feature. Both produce good still and video image quality, with decent high ISO noise performance con...
good electronic viewfinder, fast (hybrid) autofocus, silent thanks to electronic viewfinder, to 60 images per second on full resolution (but not in RAW), good image quality, video equal to SLR
mode dial rotates too lightly, letting the camera switch unintentionally to for example video, no integrated flash, limited dynamic range
