New Nikon V1

At last it seems Nikon have dared to enter the mirror less interchangeable compact camera market. I wrote about my search for the ideal compact camera last year. At that point the Fuji X100 didn’t exist which I would have definitely added to the list. I haven’t had that much time to read up on the specs of this yet but visually it’s stunning. The fancy tricks being listed on the Nikon site I’m not that interested in and would like to get an idea of how well the controls work for quick snapping. Aperture priority controls and also ISO quality at 800 – 1600. I’d probably get it with the 10mm f2.8 pancake lens which seems to be getting a lot of flak for not being f1.8 or f2.

So just worth seeing how it’s priced over here and what Thom Hogan thinks of it. Certainly looks interesting especially with a F-mount adaptor. Shift lens on this? Ha!
