Nikon 1 V3 Mirrorless Camera Body, Black {18.4MP}

Nikon 1 V3

The V3 is the ultimate camera in the Nikon 1 system of 1" sensor mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras.  It's a very neat, versatile camera with highly responsive action shooting capabilities perfect for actively photographing life on the go.

The V3 is a more modular design than prior V models; an EVF is not built-in and the camera conceals a small pop-up flash to keep the profile ultra-compact, more akin to the J & S models.  A removable DF-N1000 EVF (Electronic ViewFinder) and dedicated GR-N1010 ergonomic handgrip are available to provide handling more a V2 when needed.  In addition to it's more multi-purpose form factor the V3 features numerous other upgrades including an 18 Megapixel CMOS with increased sensitivity, 1080p60 video capture, a microphone port, Wi-Fi connectivity, and a tilting touchscreen.  The V3 is notable for it's ability to shoot full resolution still image bursts at 60fps, 40fps, 20fps, or 10fps (frames per second).  Keeping focused at the V3's blazing fast shooting speeds can be a serious challenge but the V3 employs a Hybrid AutoFocus system to keep up with action.  The V3's Hybrid AF uses 105 Phase Detection and 171 Contrast Detection AF areas that work together to allow continuous AF tracking at shooting speeds up to 20fps.

The V3 was originally introduced in early 2014 as the replacement for the Nikon V2.
