The V1 has a special place in my heart, but the J5 is so much better, in almost every way, but sadly the latter even lacks the means to attach an EVF (a non-functional flash shoe would be a starting point). Both feel very well constructed, and works very well (at least those I have have never...

One wonders which way the dust gets in, via the front, or via the folding sections?!

Love my GR, but it suddenly had dust on the sensor (I do not live in a dry, dusty, country), and the price for the cleaning was about 30% of its price, when new. Then I found out that this is a pretty common problem, this dust issue, so I will be wary of buying another compact camera from...

I bought mine when they came out, at full price, and although it had a bit of the infamous oil spot issues (like so many others - had the shutter exchanged years ago), and although I don't use it much, it has ticked off far more than 10,000 shots by now. Pretty nice camera, in short. Use it a...

I got the D3300, which I am impressed by (did not like the D3200, though), and the new version out seems even better. Same size as the D5500, but far cheaper. Very reliable AF, even with very long lenses. But for the rest i use the FX camera, of course, or if it is macro I'm into, the J5 +...

You have surely missed an experience! The latest (J5) is, image-wise, almost as good as my modern Nikon FX camera, and that is really awesome. its dynamic range isn't quite as good, naturally, but surprisingly close. According to those in the know, the 70-300CX is design-wise (lots of expensive...

It has been very quiet on all Nikon MILC fronts, although the executives say they are fully supporting the N 1 system (and the Photokina Nikon booth had a lot of Nikon 1 gear on display, but zero new items). Lets hope something happens before Nikon fades away (all companies disappear one day)...

These DL cameras, if they ever appear on the market in their planned form, are, as presented, an odd bunch. Some have the latest lens coatings, but not all, some are very expensive, some not, and with neither you have a way of clearing out dust from the sensor, or the rear element of the lens...

The J5 would transform your photography yet again, I can assure you that, as long as you can manage without a viewfinder. In the family we have three, all obtained at a very fair price in Tokyo, and it is one of the most conventional of the N 1 cameras (buttons and menu-wise), but uses Sony's...

Well, at Photokina there was a lot of Nikon 1 stuff, albeit nothing new at all. On the other hand, Nikon executives at Photokina, said that they indeed are considering Nikon 1 as an up and alive line of cameras. So (hopefully) something new will arrive in 2017! In good light the V2 is very...

Since then I've invested in the AF-S 70-300 G and it is a dream on the V1, as you can take steady shots of birds with an equivalent focal range of 816mm! Not good for birds flying, as the auto-focus with AF-S lenses is a wee bit primitive, but as long as they are on the ground, no problems at...

I have too many cameras, and too many lenses, but for a long while it was the XZ-1 that took everywhere, sometimes with a VF-2 viewfinder on it, sometimes with a flash. My first really expensive camera was the Olympus C-8080, that in function is very similar to the XZ-1, if not in looks (looks...

I have used everything from big Sinar, & Hasselblad, to my own Pentax, Edixa & Mamiya 35mm SLRs, plus assorted compacts. Just now I've only got a Pentax SFX, which is so modern that it even have autofocus ;-)! Must confess I seldom use it, but as it is the only full-format camera I have it is...

I wasn't in the market, either, but I bought a V1 to the wife, who instead opted for the OM-D (her loss). Anyway, I must say it has taken me with storm - after just a few weeks it has for all but low light photography replaced my Pentax K-5, that now feels big and cumbersome, and yet it is quite...

And then they died?! No actual shots of anything worthwhile to show?! While the Nikon J1 and V1 are thriving - easily the best selling small CSC of any brand - the Q is just a question-mark!

Alas, the 80-200 is a very manual lens, so no AF. After having carried it around for a while I found it a bit too heavy (and a wee bit difficult to focus correctly), so instead I invested in a Nikon AF-S 55-200/4-5.6G, which works like a dream, as it is surprisingly sharp in the middle (and we...

I agree with Nic that I couldn't think of a single reason to own both a MFT camera, like my wife's soon-to-be-delivered OM-D, and a Nikon 1 camera, but my what things you can do with a V1! Accodring to test sites, like Photozone.de, the kit lenses are among the sharpest there are on the market...

First of all, I have had my V1 for a few months by now, and it has become my darling, or should I say, my preffered tool, over my Pentaxes and my other cameras. I began with just the 10, and the 10-30, then came the 30-110 (very nice, indeed), the TF1 adapter, a new AF-S 50/1.4G, and a very used...

I love my V1 (which began as a gift to my wife, who instead opted for the OM-D), but it isn't perfect, in any way. The three Series 1 lenses have been found exceptionally sharp, the tiny flash works surprisingly well, but the arrangement of the buttons is pretty unique: For instance that the...

Lovely review, lovely shots! I bought the V1, as I prefer a viewfinder, but both cameras rock! Have replaced my DSLRs most of the time, except I do often bring my Sony NEX-5N with the Zeiss 1.8/24 as a complement.

The 'white orbs' or 'white discs' issue wasn't addressed, but pretty impressive all the same. DPReview stated that the latest frimware upgrade didn't help that issue at all!

As it is today, you can use most older Nikon lenses (slightly modified), and many Leica lenses & classic screw-mount lenses, with your K Mount camera, using cheap adapters, and there are probably more adapters avilable, that I am not aware of! I use my K Mount lenses on my four K Mount cameras...

I too (and my wife) have taken to the K-5 in a great way - that and the NEX-5N, which complements each other very well: The K-5 handles the long lenses (over 200) and the low light, while the 5N handles video and the shorter lenses. My wife's has had no problems, mine has been replaced by...

My wife has the E-PL1, I've got the XZ-1, we both got a K-5 and a NEX-5N - in my book the NEX-5N runs rings around the E-PL1, and my XZ-1, and most of the time, even the K-5! My, how technology eveolves!

My wife has an E-PL1, so I can use its EVF (amazing, but nothing compared to the NEX-5N's!), for my XZ-1 - very, very nice! The wife's NEX-5N with the E18-200 is an amazing piece of camera, far beyond my XZ-1, and even past my K-5! No experience with the X10, nor the X100, sorry!

I am still in the iPhoto stage, slowly evolving into RAW photography - I do have Bibble, Aperature, Lightroom, Capture One (free version with my Sigma tele zoons) and Phocus (Hasselblad's free RAW converter/program), and GIMP, which also can handle RAW, if not perfectly! And various programs...

I prefer the original version - a bit of Blade Runner to me ;-)!

An UPS solves such problems - a few years back a friend of a friend went exploring Antartica aboard the meanest conventional icebreaker there is, and all these scientists had major problems with their computers, each time the Oden (English: Wotan) used its bow thrusters, or engine starters...

Love the photos - we, the wife and I, have been discussing buying either the X100, or the X10, but couldn't make up our minds, so we bought each a NEX-5N (we had the K-5s before that). Nice collection of cameras, indeed! I have the XZ-1, and the K-5, as mentioned, but not the rest! My NEX-5N is...

Any idea when you'll get your NEX-7?!

NEX-5n + K mount adapter + 2X converter + 400mm Pentax-M lens works great! Both the converter and lens are very old, by the way!

My wife got her 18-200 today, and as yet no hunting ;-)! Amazing lens, as far as I've tested it, on our NEX-5Ns!

My gut feeling, after having taken about 500 shots with my 5N is that it really makes good lenses shine, and not so good look OK, or it gets slightly better results with my Pentax lenses (those that apply) than my K-5 does, and that's not bragging. Wish Pentax/Ricoh had designed something along...

I'm just beginning using my 5N, but I am deeply impressed. Until now my K-5 was my favourite camera (for at least the last 20 years - before that there were some that stirred my soul, like the Minox GL, the very first full-format compact). Now I don't quite know what to say - colour rendering is...

How, where, did you get hold of the EVF?! Seems to be nowhere to be found - need two, ASAP!

Been playing around with my NEX-5N and some lenses I have for my Pentax K-5, and I must say I have after that put my K-5 on the back burner! I love that camera, but I think the 5N get more out of the lenses than the K-5. Blasphemy, I know, but just as an example look at yesterday, just before...

Quite a few very serious guys have shelved their M9s (sold them, or put them on the back burner) and gotten themselves a NEX-5N, a M Mount adapter, and, preferable with a FDA-EV1S viewfinder, and just loving it! Well, I have no M9, but a NEX-5N, and put my K5 on the shelf, using a K Mount...

Nice group of shots, Tilman! Have to visit Milton Keynes some day! Vielen grüssen ous Schweden, Tord

Hopefully the viewfinders and lenses we've ordered for our NEX-5Ns will arrive by then, but not even Sony.se seem to be able to produce any of them!

Thanks! Looks delicious!

Amazing shots! Fully manual lens, I gather?!

World peace would be great, as would stop to crimw, gluttony, and a few other vices. More seriously, I hope the soon to be released NEX lenses arrive, as well as the viewfinder for the NEX-5N, which is top of my list!

I have the K-5, and still love it, not least for its high ISO, and its weather-sealing. My K-7, on the other hand is for sale, even though it is almost brand new, got the same weather-sealing, but not the high ISO. Best thing about them both is their quiet shutters! FA lenses work splendidly...

My Tamron SP 90 (K Mount version, aka Pentax bayonet) with NEX adapter from Maxim, bought via Amazon.co.uk. The interesting part is the rear lens cover, which is Pentax rear lens cover, which fits as well on the E Mount as on the K Mount! E Mount lens covers can't be found over here, but...

No local dealers here carry spare rear lens covers, but accidentally I found the perfect solution: Rear Pentax lens covers! I've tried orginal Pentax, Sigma and Tamron K Mount lens covers, and the Pentax are slightly better, and easier to find in shops!

NEX-5N with 800mm lens! I tried my old Pentax-M 400/5.6 on my NEX-5N yesterday evening, also with my 2X converter, and the results were on the whole better than when I had my K-5 connected to it, or should I say more pleasing, as there was less chroma problems, but maybe slightly less sharp...

There seem to be noise issues with the A77, and there probably are similar problems with the NEX-7! Been out tonight shooting with my old Pentax-M 400 + 2.0X converter and the NEX-5N! In video amazing results, not quite as good with stills!

Amazing shot, from indoors at the Universeum, the indoor zoological complex, indoors in Gothenburg, Sweden. I used my K-5, and my wife's Pentax FA77. In the picture you can see my wife's hand, her DA50-135/2,8 (the best zoom lens I've ever come across), and her K-5, which all thrived in the...

About ten years apart Olympus introduced two mighty compacts, that the world should have paid attention to: first the mighty C-8080, with magnesium body, an articulated display, a high-resolution EVF, a superb grip, and a lot of other goodies. But sales were disappointing, the camera was...
