Some very nice photos in this newly formed thread.
Here's one with the Nikon V1 and 32/1.2 lens.
Nice low light combo IMHO.

I bought a V2 after reading this thread and found a good deal. I wanted to find out how good the AF is.

What a surprise I got after receiving the V2. The camera is super easy to use. AF like I'm at home (with my Nikon DSLRs).

Thanks very much.

A fun stitch from today with the V1 and 50 1.8G - little rough but I haven't figured out how many images PS can handle without hanging yet

A butterfly shot from a few days ago, then hanging out at the pool last night, waiting for my daughter to swim.





and they say the 10-30 isn't that good? (all are converted and downsized from RAW)

Just got my hands on the new 70-300 CX zoom.
Getting very dark and stormy here but got outside for a few snaps before the rain and took this at 300mm and 1/60 handheld.

^ congrats on the new lens, can't wait to see what it will do - let us know your impressions goin' forward - I'm going to play around with the FT-1 and maybe 70-300 FX lens or the 200/2 this weekend, but having only central AF point and no face recognition etc is a definite drawback with it...

Having all the focus point is great - this was literally a snapshot with auto everything - the V2 chose the focus points.
So far the only negative is that the zoom seems stiff.
With luck the front will clear out the humidity and we will have beautiful w/e here and I can get used to the lens.
It is irritating that Nikon have not made the tripod mount available yet - I'm looking forward to taking the same shot with the new zoom at 300 and my 300mm f4 + FT1.

Pretty neat with a macro on CX - just playin' around this morning in the garden - V1 and Zeiss 100 and Nikon 105 VR; the 105 is a lot more fun for ultimate closeups since it's more of a true macro

bump - couple from yesterday - anyone know if there is any way to disable auto display of last image on the V1, or V2 or V3 can you do this?

I'd like to be able to take rapid single shots in succession, no continuous drive, just recompose and hit shutter over and over - for stitching and panoramas

I dont believe there is other than touching the shutter button half way. Not the quickest but better than the full review.

Always remember - better to spend your money on good glass than on the latest body find the camera in the picture!

I can't resist playing with my new 70-300 CX zoom.
Shot sitting on my deck this morning @300mm handheld at 1/125 - far from ideal but the VR certainly seems to work.
Sorry about the framing on this quick snap.

I totally agree, I can now attend weddings without anyone asking me if I'm a Pro? Or commenting on the D4s body. Good glass and you will blend right in as long as you camo some of it.

Well I wanted a set, sort of, so I have the V1, V2, V3 and the AW-1. I liked the V1 right up until I got the V2. I like external controls on the V2 over the V1. My wife confiscated the V2 for herself and I have to hunt for it all the time so I bought the V3. Sounds like a good reason right?

The V3 has many upgrades over both previous models. Focusing being #1 in my book. FPS also. I have the CX VR 70-300 ordered for a fall trip this year with the V3. I shot some with the V2 last year using my 500/4 in Alaska and the results were pretty decent. My main bodies are the D4s and D800e for this trip but since the V3 is so small it becomes my point & shoot ++. I'll try out the AW1 as well, play with it under water should I get the chance.

All the V1 series really work well on my primes 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.4, 105/2.8 micro and 200/2. My fav being the 105 and 85. I've not used them much on my zooms.

So the short answer is the V3 is the best of the 3 models, V2 & V3 similar controls, the controls are important for me as I shoot 95% manual mode on all my cameras, IQ not much different from the V1, a tad better. The AW1 controls are quite different but understandable because of the type of camera it is.

There are the little quirks like not being able to turn off the review without being if the high speed mode, but like any camera I just consider them tools and come up with a work around if possible. I've printed 8x12's with V1 and 12x16 with the V2 but everything has to fall inline, online they look great. My baseline is the D800e so that makes a tough comparison.

Nikon almost got the V3 right but the V4 will be there. Find a good used V2 and you'll have almost the same as a V3 till the prices drop more. I saw how Thom slammed the V3 until he used one for awhile and now he has one in his bag all the time. I love the results of the V1 series for macro on my 105/2.8 the best.

Now about that gift certificate.....
