IMHO Sony Nex is the best compact camera you can ever get. Due to the sensor.

Also if the sensor is small, the price should be reasonable too.

even u snap those nikon lens on it the puny 2.7x crop factor will make those lens become long distance zoom lens

I WANT THE PINK J1!

Now that I see you can use the mount on those cameras, you can do amazing stuff like mounting a 1200mm f/11 lens on that baby.

I noticed the 73 AF phase detection... interesting... module for upcoming DSLR?

Better pics for the size





and cant help but lol at this (not sure why )



hopefully i not slowpoke with this pics

owh and more pics can be find here http://dpreview.com/news/1109/11092118atthelaunch.asp

Yea, you can get nice telephoto range
But, with f/1.8 or f/1.4, the DOF will be very different from DSLR.

they target newbie right?
newbie like smaller sensor for sharper photo?

Anyone know how much it take to clean a d90 sensor? Thanks

No idea, the price is not cheap either; and there're so many competition available, especially the GF3. Remember recent DigitalRevTV video comparing between LX5 and GF3. The Nikon mirrorless would be something like LX5 but with interchangeable lens and better performance, but actually, you may notice many compact users want to achieve the shallow DOF and "bokehlicious", which they can't get from their compacts (unless they do close up/macro; which even Nokia N8 can do it).

So, question is, for people moving from compact to mirrorless, will they choose Nikon mirrorless or the competition out there? Unless they prefer Nikon brand or looks, or?
For smaller/compact size, I think Pentax Q might be even more interesting and with the tiny small lens, there's up to 7 or 8 lens available, numbered by 1, 2, 3, 4... and the operation is more towards professional, etc.

Anyway, I'm sure there will be it's own category of users/fans, just that, I don't see it able to compete much. More if Canon announce their mirrorless with larger sensor and more tempting features.
I remember NikonRumors posted a poll about who will buy, the result was very negative, but who knows because maybe someone will change their mind after seeing the real thing and the special features.

If this doesn't sell well, wonder what will happen. The worst is those who bought it and has to suffer the fate.

Only reason I consider the Nikon mirrorless, it is able to use my current Nikkor lens with adapter ._.

200mm x 2.7, yummy! 540mm.. imagine J1/V1 with 70200 VR2 lols.

Agreed. An expensive Coolpix.

Indeed. 300mm f/4 mounted would give 810mm f/4 equivalent ! Great for birding.

I think if mount a puny body to a 300mm, the lens itself already much bigger than the body, can act like a lens cover too... so imba!

but then again.... even if u have the telephoto range for ur lens the DOF still affected by the sensor size.... just look at those M43 even if they are f1.8 or lower they still cant get the same bokehness as of bigger sensor.

Yes, but how much difference I'm not sure. DX and FX have difference too, but FX is have more shallow DOF and bokeh?

yup
the bigger the sensor/film, the shallower the DOF is.

on the other hand: usd 900 for the V1 + 10-30VR kit lens is expensive leh

Let's give it 1USD:RM3, that'd be RM2700 for a V1 + 27-81mm kitlens... expensive? VERY!

Now I have chance to shoot moon and birds closer up if I get one of those xD

Let's wait for the street price =)

come to v12 vroom vroom -> https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2041651/+0#entry45480851
