The 15fps burst mode is astonishing. That is a frame rate close to movie. Speaking of which, movie mode is very good. Image quality is consistently good with accurate auto focus and exposure. The viewfinder is a knockout, giving outstanding colour and ton
The memory card slot should be on the side of the camera for easy access on a tripod. We're picking the nits to find something not to like
When we tested the first generation of the Nikon 1 we were unimpressed, mainly because it had no external camera adjustments at all. It was frustrating to use and we were happy to send it back. With the beautiful little (and it is very small) V2 we kept i...
Buying Guide Best compact system camera It's clear that Nikon has put some considerable thought into the upgrade of its Nikon 1 V1 camera in the shape of the Nikon 1 V2. What we have now is a more sophisticated CSC that is more likely to appeal to advance...
Control system simple, easy to use. Overall design is appealing. Pop-up flash. Super-fast continuous shooting performance
Proprietary hotshoe. Tendency to overexpose highlights in automatic modes. Best results with F-mount lenses rather than Nikon 1 lenses
The Nikon 1 V2 is the camera its predecessor should have been. With a comfortable shooting design and plenty of features, the V2 is an appealing buy....
Robust build quality, integral viewfinder and pop-up flash prove useful, Full HD 1920x1080 pixels video with stereo sound, handling should find it an easy fit for both those trading up from a snapshot and down-sizing from a DSLR
To be harsh, trickier lower light or high contrast shooting conditions result in pictures not a great deal better than we’ve previously got from a £200 snapshot
Ultimately though, whilst the V2 is better than the vast majority of snapshot cameras, would you want to pay £800 just to be able to say that? It's well built and handles like you'd expect a semi pro model to, but at full asking price others outgun it.Tag...

You've got to hand it to Nikon. Like several other review outlets, we were critical of the physical design of the J1 and V1 when they debuted. These were slippery, troublesome cameras, and in certain conditions that can really rob the shooting experience ...
Super-fast autofocus system, impressive burst mode, sharp images are good quality, relatively small size, dedicated mode dial, built-in electronic viewfinder
Blocky design, pricey, sensor won't match up to larger equivalents, subtle image noise visible from mid-ISO settings, layout and menus conflict with more traditional systems, EVF could be higher resolution, ghosting lag in viewfinder upon movement, no ISO
The Nikon 1 V2 is an interesting concept. It attempts to right some of its predecessor's wrongs by adding a more traditional mode dial to the redesign, but the interior menu system still feels alien and can be a faff to navigate. What the camera re...
The Nikon 1 V2 is an impressive little camera, and if you can look beyond the relatively small sensor and resolution there are some superb features. Its AF system is extremely fast in good light, and the EVF, fast shooting rate, and build and handling all...
Good range of useful shooting features, Addition of dedicated mode dial, Improved handling and design, Blisteringly fast AF performance
Menu system still clunky, Some image quality issues, High price tag
There's a lot to like about the Nikon V2 and it's certainly a big improvement on the V1. The addition of an exposure mode dial on the top-plate and a comfortable handgrip both make the V2 a much more enjoyable camera to shoot with. Performance impresses t...
Picture quality up to 1600 ISO, Nice design and handling, Precise EVF, Impressive burst modes (1560 fps), Good video mode, Electronic shutter mode for quiet shooting, Builtin flash
No touchscreen or swivel screen, No WiFi, No manual focusing ring, No headphones out, No electronic level, Quite bulky for a mirrorless camera, No programme shift function
With the V2, Nikon has reworked its high-end mirrorless camera, giving it a more classic design but also making it more accessible. Plus, it has loads of interesting functions (burst modes, video, autofocus). The V2 is a bit on the bulky side, but it's a ...
Compact body and lens system; Image quality; Colour reproduction; Video performance; High frame rate shooting; More accessible controls
Some fall off in focus towards corners; Some bleached highlights; Expensive
A beautifully designed and constructed compact camera with a lens system that brings out the strengths of the compact interchangeable lens form factor. Image quality is good and it's genuinely fun to use. Travellers who want the flexibility of a dSLR w...
