Nikon 1 V1 and ISO 1600

Never have I dare to imagine that the Nikon 1 system could get away with shots hovering around ISO 1600, until today. Approaching it all this while like a compact, I was quite surprise it could do so much more. 

From ISO 400, I have now two additional stops of low light performance to work with, and that seriously put the petite camera to be on par with the older pro Nikon DSLRs. 

In short, you can safely use her ISO 1600 sparingly as per say like the Nikon D300s.
