Nikon 1 V1 review

At £829, I won't even consider it, I'll definitely stay with my DSLR! Why are manufacturers aiming these gimmicky CSC's at premium markets with all the high-end manufacturing materials? IMO the CSC should sit between the enthusiast- compacts & DSLR's in the £400-£600 region, and the latter is already pushing it.

Hi, my wife has just bought a white V1 with both the standard zoom lens and telephoto. It cost £600, imported from Hong Kong, arrived about three days after purchase. She has now sold her D200 with 18-200mm VR Nikkor. She wanted a smaller, lighter camera that was well made and would produce good results. She is unlikely to print above A3, A4 being the norm for Photobook albums. She knows a lot about photography but is not the sort to spend time bracketing or messing about with white balance etc. She will use it in Programmed mode and can adjust depth of field easily via a little button on the back, dead simple and works. The camera is beautifully made, we looked at a lot and the little nikon feels like its made from solid metal. Finish is wonderful and it just feels really nice to hold in the hand. Reminds me of my Nikon FM2n with 50mm. Picture quality is excellent. Focus is very fast. There are some interesting features but overall the camera is being used in same way as D200. Shop around and it needn't cost as much as advertised. The electronic viewfinder is a delight to use. There is a lot of very new and very clever technology in this camera. We are both impressed. My D200/D300 might be getting used less as frankly I would like one of these. The Sony NEX7 is nice but when combined with the same lens set up was costing about twice++ as much! too much I think. Go and have a hold of the V1 and for those wanting something better than a point and shoot but not as heavy as a DSLR this is seriously worth considering.

I was very paseeld to find this site.I wanted to thank you for this great read!! I definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post.

This is an excellent product, carry it always. I sold my M43 GF2 for the V1 and am very happy I did. I have a D3s and M8, but am using the V1 most of the time. It gives excellent image quality with a very good IQ. Use it often with the FT-1 and Nikkor 50mm f1.4 G. Another winner from NIKON
