Will you buy the New V1 & J1???

[ageha]

yes $230 is correct, sorry for the earlier typo..

Have you got yours?

Not yet, I will before the holiday season most probably.
Which color did you buy? :gbounce:

 

[Riyanto Ong]

yup. The stampede towards large sensor size discounted the 1 series too fast due to the smaller sensor.. but it is a very capable system.

And now V1 with kit lens and flash is selling for way less than Sony RX100... how to resist? LOL

people usually start to provide opinion based on spec only. once they are physically try the product, the opinion might change :bsmilie:

looks like this happened to the nikon 1 series. after people start to use it, they like it. this is the example - Review: Nikon J1 versus Fuji X10 » Ryan Brenizer — NYC Wedding Photographer. Problem solver, storyteller.

btw, not to start a brand war, but i always have a perception that sony's product is overpriced ..... too many unused features that we've to bear the cost. anyway, it came from previous other products other than camera.

I think every camera brand has overpriced products.

With the new 18.5mm/f1.8 - should be good enough for babies and events.

I'm thinking that this lens might be permanently affixed onto my J1!

Forget the NEX, Nikon 1 (and Micro Four Thirds) are better! ;-) The NEX' AF sucks, don't believe the hype. But the NEX is great for manual focus lenses!
