Abstract: Digital Life News Cameras Technology News DateMarch 6, 2014 (2) Read later This variation on the Nikon 1 J3 is a 14-megapixel camera that is waterproof to 15 metres, freeze-proof to -10C and can be safely dropped from a height of two metres...
We never thought we would say this, but shooting JPEG is better than RAW. Nikon's decision to go with a relatively small sensor means noise is obvious at ISO800, well below the speed that will be needed underwater or in fog. But Nikon has long been the champion of noise reduction in JPEG, without loss of detail.
Given the small sensor, the unit seems a little larger than necessary but that may make it easier to handle with gloves
As a unique product - an underwater camera that doesn't need an additional special housing - it is an outstanding addition to Nikon's product line-up. It is not a camera for everyday use; it is for anyone who goes in for eyeball-to-eyeball encounters with...

Only two toughened lenses available, Rear controls fiddly, Essential settings hidden in menus
We have to hand it to Nikon for introducing a toughened, yet attractive, waterproof system camera with plenty of features and decent performance. Sure, other cameras will give you better image quality for the money, but some compromises have to be made to...
