As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 1 V3 with its smaller sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Nikon 1 V3 will result in greater detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The newer 1 V3 is going to have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
