A small, sleek and stylish CSC with a tilting touchscreen and Wi-Fi
Touchscreen ; Inbuilt Wi-Fi ; Sleek design
No viewfinder ; Expensive
Great to use and part of an ever expanding system, the Nikon V3 is the company's best CSC yet.

The Nikon 1 V3 is a sleek compact system camera (CSC) with a 18.4-megapixel resolution, 3-inch LCD touchscreen and wi-fi for sharing your photos. Its 1-inch sensor is slightly smaller than what's offered by most compact system cameras, but does that...

This mirrorless compact camera packs excellent image quality, but its user-friendliness isn't great
Very good image quality ; Plenty of dials and buttons
No built-in EVF ; No exposure preview ; Electronic zoom ; Awkward manual focusing
While the the Nikon 1 V3 with the 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm PD-ZOOM lens gives you control dials for managing the aperture and shutter values, they aren’t enough to make us deviate from the perception that this camera is better suited to compact-style users...
