Our quick take

Nikon 1 V2 - 3.5 / 5

Design concept

Speed daemon

Multi-view

One-inch pinch

To recap

There’s a lot to like about the Nikon 1 V2: it’s super fast, responsive and the new mode dial is a nod toward welcoming in the more traditional photo enthusiast. But the menu system is still a bit of a faff and the 1-inch sensor size won’t quite match up to the competition. As much as the super speed may sway some, we find the £749 price tag to be too much of a stretch on this occasion. Definitely a step in the right direction for the series, but a whisker behind the established competition in our minds.
