The Nikon 1 J1 was Nikon’s first Compact System Camera (CSC), introduced in 2011/2012. The new J3 has a new image sensor with higher resolution (14MP instead of 10MP) and some additional features. It is still a very compact camera and just about the smallest CSC system now available.

The ILC segment represents an interesting design challenge for camera manufacturers. They are a step-up from point-and-shoots, but a step-down of DSLR cameras – designing a camera to appeal to both types of users is a difficult task.

Nikon's latest midrange mirrorless is a very, very short step up for point-and-shoot users.

The Nikon 1 J3 is flawed on several levels. It handles poorly, has limited features and takes deeply average photos. It’s rare for a camera to disappoint this much, but the Nikon 1 J3 is one to avoid.

    Prompt AF system, Stylish design, Good build quality

  • -

    Noise at high ISO settings, Poor image quality, Badly-designed controls, Way too expensive

Just six months after the launch of the Nikon 1 J2, the J3 has arrived featuring a number of improvements. The J3 is no longer the entry-level model in the Nikon 1 compact system camera line-up, as this place has now been taken by the S1, which was announced at the same time as the J3 and which we...

I bought the J3 as an upgrade to the J1, my guess is that there are other people who are considering the same, so I'll start this review by listing the pros vs cons of J1 vs J3 and then I'll type up my conclusion.

Look and Feel This camera is small in comparison with an SLR, and it's somewhere between an SLR and a point n' shoot as far as the capacity is concerned, that said, it is meant to be small and light, but it's chunky and not easy to carry around in your pocket like other cameras of it's type or size.

  • +

    light, small, useful for small tasks

  • -

    horrible battery life, bulky, difficult menus
