Yes, it's true, the V1 is way overpriced!

Ah. I didn't know this, so it might go both ways. We query Wayne (in general terms that is, not specific), he sells all three brands in his shop...From what I understood at the NEX3/5 launch time margins for the dealers were horrific on the camera bodies and kits.
I can see it now, a pink v1 and a 85mm f/1.4 on the sidelines of an NFL game.Thom Hogan's article today is pretty interesting when he talks about sports shooting with an 85mm f1.4 on the V1 at 60fps when your output is for the web.....
from what I read the high speed modes are all full sized files and that goes to the massive speed for the data being moved....Nikon showed the slide where it was much faster than the D3s ---> bodes well for D4I can see it now, a pink v1 and a 85mm f/1.4 on the sidelines of an NFL game.
His argument falls flat in a couple of areas tho.
1). In the 10fps mode (and I'm sure 60fps mode too), AF is locked. I'm not sure how usable that would be for a sports shooter. I'm wondering if the 60fps is just extracting images from HD video mode...
2). iso: With a max base iso of 3200 (yes, it has a high mode of 6400, not sure how usable it is), you lose the couple of stop advantage you have with the fast lens so in my mind it evens out.
No argument, but could you define the target market given the specs and price tag? Exactly who is this aimed towards?? I sure can't figure it out.again if you are reading these forums, you don't seem to be the intended target market.
That is the problem we declared earlier....seems to be priced wrong.No argument, but could you define the target market given the specs and price tag?
You really work for sony, don't you?http://nikonrumors.com/2011/09/22/p...o-buy-the-new-nikon-1-mirrorless-camera.aspx/
77% vote no on this new camera. Ouch.
To hit the perceived target, it needs to be priced at 1/2 of what it is.seems to be priced wrong.
Now you are just digging for stuff (I meant to say cr@p).Something else occurred to me while out and about tonight. The battery life for these cameras is an underwhelming 230 for the j1 and more respectable 400 shots for the v1. But what happens when you attach the F-mount adapter an start auto focusing F-mount lenses, not to mention a flash, gps or accessory viewfinder?
I don't disagree. My point is that there is a huge difference in using AF glass vs MF glass. It will be almost pointless to adapt MF glass to this system.How is it any different than powering a 4/3 lens on a m4/3 body? an Alpha mount lens on a NEX? Other systems have smart adapters.
