I'm not impressed. The PanaLeica 42.5mm f/1.2 for m4/3 is twice the price and twice the weightThe F1.2 32mm Nikon 1 prime is a jewel (with the respective high price ).

Oh, I don't mean to say there aren't other lenses that are good on other systems. Must saying the F1.2 32mm is a good lensI'm not impressed. The PanaLeica 42.5mm f/1.2 for m4/3 is twice the price and twice the weight
That's obviously on a slightly larger format, and maybe the Zuiko 45mm f/1.8 would be a more realistic comparison, but only the top lens is the top lens
The point for me is that the price difference between these two lenses would go a long way to pay for a V3 with all the "goodies"Oh, I don't mean to say there aren't other lenses that are good on other systems. Must saying the F1.2 32mm is a good lens

Gotcha I think the V3 is very overpriced. Ironically I find the J4 has a very Zen-like simplicity and now that it's made of metal along with the flash, it does not s*xor to me as the J1 did.The point for me is that the price difference between these two lenses would go a long way to pay for a V3 with all the "goodies"
The V3 is twice as expensive as the J4 here ($1,300 vs. $625), but the price of the V3 includes the grip, the viewfinder and the FT-1 adapter. What would be more tempting for me than the J4 is the AW1, which is less than $200 more expensive.Gotcha I think the V3 is very overpriced.

The V3 is nice- just wish it didn't have the dial wheel in the back since it has already enough wheels for the interface.

It's pretty good, though I have not used it much and it depends on what you want to do. You can AF or tap to focus.The V3 is twice as expensive as the J4 here ($1,300 vs. $625), but the price of the V3 includes the grip, the viewfinder and the FT-1 adapter.

How is AF-C when recording video on the J4?
