First, this is camera that takes excellent photographs. The compact size and light weight are two more attributes that make this camera desirable to someone who wants flexibility without bulk. The V2 provides multiple options for capturing subjects as you imagine them turning out.
Although I take more than 98% still images the video works better than expected.
Using the GPS option is a treat. The GP N100 unit is quite quick to lock on and ready to go with excellent accuracy.
The built in flash is adequate for more modest work, but I am looking forward to using the new Nikon flash when available

I'm a fulltime pro and shoot the D3s and D3...
I've been waiting for a camera like this to take out when I just want something more than a point and shoot but way less than a DSLR. This is a very light and discreet and CAPABLE camera if you use it right. I'm having no issue with the files at iso 1600 and even 3200. The focus is great and I love that you can adjust the power of the flash very easily as well. The quality of the viewfinder and screen is superb.
You have to manage your expectations... This is not a D3 or a D4 or a D300... BUT given the size and the ease of use, I'd say it's a pretty cool camera!!!

I love, love, love this camera!! I am a mother of 2 small children and this camera is perfect! I've only had it for two days and already know how to use all of it great features. It is so easy to use! One of my favorite features is the ability to take video and pictures at the same time. This has always been the delima in the past. Do I want to video this moment or take pictures? Now I don't have to choose. My kids met Santa yesterday and I was able to catch the whole event on video and take great pictures too!
I did also purchase the 18.5 mm f/1.8 lens which gives you great pictures in low light with soft buttery backgrounds. If you have fast moving kids and want to capture the best moments, this camera is for you!! It is totally worth the investment.

Four features I really like are fast autofocus, small size, viewfinder ( a must have for me) , and silent shutter. Half of my photography is street or indoor public photos so that silent shutter is great! Wish it had tilt or flip out screen. Hip shooting is awkward as a result. IQ is acceptable IMO. Some reviews on the internet bash the looks of this camera but for me its about function. Overall I think Nikon is on track with this camera.

Expensive Toy no match for true DSLR

If these cameras were much less in price I could see some niche for them, however there no match for a comparable real DLSR with a image sensor more than double the size and much better quality photo especially in low light. The ISO topping off at 6400 is just not enough for 800 bucks. Id wait to see if these new mirrorless types make it past the holidays and keep there high pricing before investing in a exclusive venture such as this versus Canon, Nikon and Sony DSLR cameras that have much more to offer for the price.
