my Nikon 1 V1 System
Nikon 1 V3
Nikon 1 V2
One of my blog’s readers, MAVRITIVS was kind enough to do this test for me , comparing the 3 Nikon Vs at High ISO: 1 V1 , 1 V2, and 1 V3
He owns the 3 Vs and he prefers the color rendering of the V1: “it delivers more film like rendering files” as he said.
SUMMARY The V3 has more advanced features, with 18Mp instead of 10Mp for the V1, 14MP for the V2; it has a great tilt touch screen, built in flash, built in WiFi, etc… One of the things that I wished the V3 has is a built in GPS. You can add the external GP-N100 GPS module to the V3 though but it’s either the GP-N100 or the external DF-N1000 EVF , and the same applies to attaching an external flash !!! I have the GP-N100 always attached to my V1 ! Can’t do that with the V3 though …
You can check my V1 gallery HERE and my AW1 gallery HERE

V2 ISO 3200
V3 ISO 3200
V1 ISO 6400
V2 ISO 6400
V3 ISO 6400
V3 ISO 12800
CONCLUSION As you can see , the difference between the 3 Vs is very minimal . The V3 only advantage is that it can go up to 12,800 ISO. So , Does the V3 convince more than the V1, V2 in low light performance ? It’s for you to judge according to your needs … Personally, I might upgrade to V3 if I sell my V1 !
