Nikon 1 aw 1 vs sony rx100 iii?

Nikon 1 aw 1 vs sony rx100 iii?
Added (1). So, I have been wanting the nikon 1 aw 1 since it came out. The fact that I can take it anywhere with me (hiking, swimming, beach, mountain) is super.
But then I see Tim Kellner on youtube with this killer sony rx100 iii. And he is able to make some really great stuff with it. The fact that it is small and has the ability of practically a dslr is impressive.
So, basically, Idk which one to get. I love the durability of the nikon, but i love the quality of the sony.
Help ME GET THROUGH THIS

Is it true that camera in Japan is better than thr US?

So i plan to get a DSLR camera before visit Japan for vacation. My friend told me if i wanna buy a camera, i should buy it in Japan. She said, even the same brand, say, a Nikon D810, the ones that sold in Japan are "first class". For the rest in the world are just "second class". Is it true?

Whats the deference betweens theese DSLR camera lences?

I m planing to buy nikon D5300 in next month. It comes with two different lences, I like to know what will be best for me. (I don t know much more about DSLR cameras)

The lences are,
01). 18-55mm Lens
02). 18-140mm Lens

Mostly I need theese things properly.

01). Capture things moving 100Kmph+
02). Capture things at night. (Photos must be clear if i capture photo at night, using only flasher)
03). Focusing (I need to focus ONLY tha target and defocus the background)
04). Zooming (If I captured a image using maximum Zoom, the image must be clear)

Thanks!

What camera should a noob like me get?

SHORT VERSION:
I m willing to try any of the following:
- Pentax Q-S1
- Canon EOS1100D
- Nikon D3200

I m mostly in to taking:
- Macro shots
- Landscape
- Portrait

Note:
- Limited choices are due to my budget limit
- I would like to start taking nice raw photos via Manual settings

LONG VERSION:

To start off, I wanted to take awesome shots. I just take photos from my phone (Sony Xperia Z1 then the Z3+. I even considered getting a DSC-QX100 before but the cost is too much for me!) so, going back, I started to feel like it s not enough. Don t get me wrong though, I ve gotten compliments for the photos I take. As I progress, I felt the need to step it up a bit. (i honestly do not prefer a digicam)

I ve always wanted to get myself an entry level DSLR, but I prefer something within the budget. I saw the Pentax Q-S1 (I know, it s not a dslr, BUT IT S CUTE!) and have seen and read good photos and reviews about it (I m considering it because of its interchangeable lens and quality. Im literally a noob, so I cant really base this on specs)

On the other hand, I was able to have seen some DSLRs which levels within my budget: Canon EOS1100D and Nikon D3200. (As much as I wanted to get a Canon 100D, it s over my budget. And I m a girl, so, I m kind of into the smaller stuff)

I just wanted to start appreciating my raw photos as is, basically.

I would appreciate any insight:)
