  • AF system of Nikon V3 is bit more advance, we get 105 Phase AF points and 171 contrast AF points in V3  and Nikon V2 have 73 Phase AF points and 135 Contrast AF points.
  • The Nikon V3 with more resolution is capable of shooting continuous shots with Full Time AF @ 20fps, in the other hand the Nikon V2 was limited to 15fps with bit low resolution.
  • Without continuous AF: Nikon V3 can shoot 60 frames per second @ 18 megapixels and Nikon V2 can also shoot 60fps @ 14 Megapixels.

Nikon 1 V2 at DxOMark Lab

Nikon V2 vs V1Nikon V2 scored overall 4 points less than the old Nikon V1 mirrorless camera, however the low-light performance is bit better compared to the old model. According to DxOMark Lab the current V1 users must wait for a better version.

DxO Mark Lab Says
Overall, the regression in performance, when compared to the Nikon 1 V1, suggest this camera is not as good a buy as the V1 – its results were simply underwhelming. If you already own a Nikon 1 V1 and are thinking of an upgrade, then you’ll probably find more benefit in waiting for the next iteration to see what that brings, as the V2 will not give you appreciably better images over what you have already.
