[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 259281, member: 18251"] It is really nice to be able to take 60 fps HD movies, but, still photos are not the area where this camera excels, judging upon many reviews. Here is one of them (I just found it, while browsing the Internet): [URL="http://url.ie/m2dr"]Nikon 1 J3: Image Quality and Verdict[/URL] "-The camera only really performs well at ISO 160 and 200, with colour distortion appearing from ISO 400 -It’s also bad news when it comes to the camera’s colour reproduction. Reds appear under-saturated, although greens and blues are just about right -Should I buy the Nikon 1 J3? In a word, no. At its current price of over £500, the Nikon 1 J3 is up against some pretty tough competition. This includes the Olympus E-PM2, Samsung NX1100,Canon EOS M and the excellent Panasonic Lumix GF6 that's nearly £150 cheaper.

Interestingly, the impression of the reviewer is very similar to the one I had long ago about V1/J1 (when I was considering a possibility of purchasing some mirrorless compact system, and finally opted for PEN. I had already had a few old AI/AIs Nikkor/Vivitar-Nikon lenses collected during the analog era, and I knew I'm gonna get me a Nikon DSLR in the foreseeable future). [/QUOTE]
