<p>What is the Nikon 1 J3?By design the Nikon 1 J3 is the most basic compact system camera (CSC) you're likely to find. This super-compact interchangeable lens camera is designed for convenience and simplicity, and uses Nikon's own CX sensor that's smaller than the micro-four-thirds and APS-C sensors found on many rivals. At 540 at time of writing, it's not a cheap camera either. Can the Nikon 1 J3 compete with the likes of the Panasonic Lumix GF6 and its kin?</p><p>See what the J3 is up against in our best cameras 2013 round-up.</p><p>Nikon 1 J3: FeaturesThe Nikon 1 J3 is relatively light on features compared to its numerous rivals. It doesn't have Wi-Fi or NFC, while its 921k-dot LCD screen isn't touch sensitive and isn't vari-angle, either. How much any of these matter is down to the individual, but considering the price its sparse features is disappointing.</p><p>This doesn't necessarily make the Nikon 1 J3 a bad camera, however, provided its photos measure up. That relies on Nikon's proprietary CX CMOS sensor, which has 14.2 effective megapixels and an ISO range of 160-6400. The sensor is paired with a brand new imaging engine from Nikon. The new EXPEED 3A aids data processing and helps facilitate some fairly impressive shooting figures, including a headline shooting speed of 60fps.</p><p><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/nikon-1-j3_Digital-Camera_review">Keep reading...</a></p>
