Nikon 1 V2 DxOMark result

Why should anyone expect a downgrade in image quality when moving to a newer model? You have to get your fundamentals straight e.g. image quality, before tacking on the bells and whistles.

Sure, better ergonomics and control are welcome. But that warm fuzzy feeling you get with your new V2 will only last a short time before it turns to remorse when you start to post process and realize that you could be getting better quality images from an older and far cheaper camera.
