I agree, The resolution is just very poor. The Sony @6000 is a 24 MPixel vs 18 on the V3... I have considered the Sony, however My wish is to be able to use the nikon lenses that I own, and this was not possible with the Sony unit.
If you know of a mirror-less camera, 24 megapixels, that I can use my lenses at full features... please let me know.
Thanks for your input

Perhaps you have the second half of the reply.
I carry camera, lens and flash or about 2160 grams. How much do you carry?
Do you have thoughts of entertaining the Nikon 1 V3?
Thanks for your input.

Currently I use a D800 for all my photography and video.
My favored lens is the Nikon 24-70 f2.8. The results are just amazing... I have a lot of flexibility in post production, like HDR from single shoot, cropping pictures out of larger ones, downsizing for emails. The camera and its resolution has brought out a creative side I never knew I had!!! Now sit back.... here it comes...

BUT,
the gear gets heavy after 3 hours of carrying on shoulder.

I was looking at the Nikon 1 V3 for an alternative and companion to the D800. I could use all my existing class and pick up great focal distances.

Has anyone had this issue? Having to give up resolution for weight??? Anybody know much about the Nikon 1V3?
