so, would you buy it?
even mansurov says only his 3rd 28mm 1.8G sample was good, you'll find some other reviews also with issues on it...but none of them dying yet...perhaps they didnt have long with their sample.

i was thinking of it, else i wouldnt be checking up on the reviews.

out of those 3, only 24 f/2.8 interests me...kinda cheap if look around...can find for around RM700.

hi a pic spam from me with my J1, very satisfied with the output in a very dim lighting condition and shooting with ISO3200. PP'ed with LR, level adjusted quite a bit but kept others minimal. very satisfied with the color and white balance, didn't adjust anything except add wee bit of vibrancy and clarity. biggrin.gif

good thing about small sensor is their large depth of field can take close up of food without blurring the food

dunno recommended or not but for the price i paid (single pancake lens lightly below RM1350) i'm not sure what i want more from this camera yet, but maybe different story if i paid the price when it first launched. suits a casual shooter very well and with room to upgrade when specific lens is desire, i'd say it's a compact camera with good quality output but you can change the lens. biggrin.gif

to me i find that it's dead easy to use, i left virtually everything auto in A mode, ISO100-3200 auto and adjust aperture to taste. since the ISO3200 has enough quality for web or digital viewing so i don't really see the need to manually set the ISO unless you're critical about the image quality and want to make large print (but then you would be looking at different camera already).

true but at the same time small sensor also screaming "where is my bokeh??!?" lol, waiting for Nikon to release fast prime lens but seems like the latest rumors only indicating f1.8 instead of the much more anticipated f1.4. hmm.gif

no need bokeh la.
even with f/1.4 on the 1-series, the comparable bokeh on FX is almost f/4, use it more for low light capabilities tongue.gif
