Nikon 1 V3 vs Sony ZV-E10 Sensor Comparison

As you have seen, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 1 V3 having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field more challenging and the Sony ZV-E10 will offer you greater detail having an extra 6MP.
