I am looking at setting up a project - something small - it will require small micro payments of less than $2-3. So high volume (hopefully) but very small amounts.

I looked at ethereum but the transaction fees and processing time would not make it viable. I have looked at NEO and it does seem to have potential as I am correct there are no transation fees?

But I assume if there are no fees processing times are slower than if you wanted to optionally pay a fee?

I looked into IOTA but after reading $hitcoin dot com I was put off.

There are transaction fees in NEO but it less compared to the ethereum blockchain. But i'm not sure about when sharding and raiden will be implemented and then it looks like it can reduce the transaction fees of ethereum.

I can assume NEO is the only best candidate for you compared with another existing platform. Lisk looks good but it's not a smartcontract platform and not so popular as NEO.

Obviously I am a crypto currency newbie and I am looking for the right blockchain tech for a project. Now I have done some reading and what I am looking for is something like Ethereum.

1) Smart contracts
2) Low transaction fees
3) suited for micro transactions

What would be helpful if I can use Java as the programming language. Ethereum ticks point 1 but its transaction fees are too high. I am looking for really low fees as volume will be higher.

You are too obvious to be new comer in crypto buddy. There are already a lot of alternative for smart contract. The top of these list will be NEO, a crypto supported by Chinese government, the Asian version of Ethereum. Or you can use Waves, when we talk about features and network performance, I think waves is the best, they just need more marketing and adoption. The last but not least the cheapest smart contract ever XLM, the good thing about XLM (Stellar) is cheap, nothing else.
But, take my advice, you can find many smart contract platform as Ethereum alternative, but nothing compared to Ethereum. It is the first and the best.

And what does not suit the etherium? Take a closer look at: NEO, WAVES, NEM. But why? Compare bitcoin with altcoins? Similarly, the etherium for other platforms is the parent and it will always be higher up.

NEM (4000tps)
LISK
WAVES
NEO. (1000tps)
STELLAR
IOTA (one day). (14000tps)
OMG

Im not 100% sure the transactions per second for the ones I missed out but these all fit your criteria

maybe you can see neo and waves, I think you can compare it with ethereum. try to research it and consider it.

There's Waves, Stellar (XLM), Stratis, Byteball, Neo, etc.
But Ethereum fees are higher because it's the most popular.
