Yup, just have to wait till proper testing and reviews made till final decision can be made. Then of course, at the end of the day, with adapters, I'm sure not only Nikon lenses can be used, a myriad of other lenses too from Leicas, M42s, Minoltas, EF-mounts, M4/3..

must use flash tripod and softbox for this.well this is a random shot though.thanks sakura


hehe.yeap will do it next tyme

One thing might interest people its 60fps at fixed af and 10 at af-c,
nikon-aus wildlife say the crop factor good for telephoto extends the range

they make my D5100 feel very small sad lah

wow so colourful~~ purple look nicee~~~

Got purple NEX???? ~ opps, but really the sensor size for that price =.="

J1 pop up flash looks weird and awfully fragile



and this gotta be my favourite!





Awwwww sooooooo cuteeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

But I highly doubt that Nat Geo will slap on a V1 onto their 600mm f/4 while standing at the back of the Jeep.

indeed.was having fun with yongnuo wireless flash trigger ,seriously need to opt softeners for this for a better dispersed of light on the subject.

Pink V1/J1 + 500mm f/4 = ????



But seriously, with 1200mm f/11, + 2.7* crop factor, Good Lord it's a telescope.

i pity the shop owners.. i wonder how are they going to stock the stuff with so many colours..

but i have to admit that the nikon mirrorless WILL sell.. it's a nikon after all..

I ROFLed on the lens cap

Aperture doesn't get factored into crop factor... only on teleconverters

Ooooohhh now that you mention it god i hate those type of lens cap! older nikkor used the same design

Kai (digitalrev tv) wish is granted!! Pinkon J1 haha

and he hates it too...the system. I think.

Owh about the F mount adapter, looks like AF-S lens only can autofocus (not surprisingly actually boooo )

but maybe down the line they will release a 2nd version that can autofocus with AF-D lens (if lucky!) since the mount clearly has a mark for the AF screws

wow cant wait to mount my 70-200mm on it

I think you mean the photographer technique?
My meaning of the technique is as in the "concept".

Focus and Recompose is common, especially when those days without all these AF points or during film days. It's the photographer facing the problem and doesn't understand the concept and focus plane, etc.
Don't blame the technique.

As I said above, it's important to understand how it works, the concept, focus plane, etc. Don't blame the technique.

This problem is more apparent on larger sensor with wide aperture as the DOF is more shallow, even MORE if you shoot close-up.
Even with compact or handphone camera, if there is close focus or macro setting, the DOF can be shallow and people will still face this problem.
Instead of blaming the technique, try to understand what happen and compensate for it.
Example:
Try shoot close-up on a miniature model at widest aperture, focus on the eye and then recompose, if you change your angle, it'll be more obvious; Or try hold the camera 45 degrees, do close-up focus and recompose with the camera now straight, you would notice the YOU have shifted away from the focus plane, you can compensate back by moving foward/backward a little accordingly.

Adding on, on wider angles, and if you stand far enough which gives you more DOF, you'll have less problem even using wide apertures like f/1.8.

The flashgun !!! LOL !!! HAHAHAHAHA !!! Can really bounce ??? Sure bor ???

Can la, don't like that...

I notice in the video, one part when the photo is captured, the screen blacks out and got sort of "loading/saving" progress. Isn't it kind of slow compared with current competitors?

May I ask what lens are you using?

Which focus do you use? AF-C or AF-S ?

Sometimes I use just the centre focus and recompose when camera is set to using AF-C, 51 point 3D tracking and under dynamic AF area mode,. The focus will lock on the subject after half-press focus lock and will automatically shift to remain focused on the subject after you recompose.

Like candies. Nikon should have named the cameras as 1Nikon instead.

I think what sakurakinomoto should be referring to is putting the MF 1200-1700mm f/5.6-8.0 lens on the Nikon 1.



But nevertheless, the 1200mm f/11 lens does exist in the Nikon world in the form of MF 360-1200mm f/11 zoom.
