Review: Nikon's newest line - the Nikon 1 series V1 and J1 cameras

[ortega]

I usually use yousendit.com, but the link will only last for a week and capped at 100mb. any chance we can get some NEFs?

I did not shoot any raw files, yousendit is temporary i will explore posting to my nikontown account

I know this is great for birders. I am reserving and trying to get the first copy of the V1 and also the lens adapter. to see if it is fast enough with the 600mmf4

600 x 2.7 = 1620mm equivalent .... this is just crazy !!! ..... you'll need a serious tripod/head combination set up to support this focal length

*faint*....

Boss, what kind of "birds" are you trying to shoot ar?

 

[gundamseed84]

Far away birds....

Actually if you notice the ground it was a raining and the light was in fact flat.

Thanks for the upload. Considering these were shot on a rainy day. I can see the hint of how the image will be like when shooting in low light. Not too bad.

yeah cannot really push the camera to show its real potential in that short time frame.

Wa really crazy, with a 500mm and 2x teleconvertor what will the moon look like at 2700mm? Maybe can find something apollo 18 left behind!

Someone used Pentax Q + 2x tele + 800mm to shoot jupiter. Maybe using Nikon we can shoot Mars?
