Nikon have just announced the J1 and V1, the company's first venture into mirrorless cameras.
Whilst I don't really understand much about the whole mirrorless hype, there is one fact that may be interesting for bird photography, namely that Nikon have produced a mount that allows you to attach an f mount (ie DSLR) lens onto the new Mirrorless bodies....
These bodies have a crop factor of 2.7x, so my 300mm f4 AF-S lens will become an 810mm lens (as opposed to a 450mm on my D90)...and I'm guessing it remains as an f4 (?)
Any body else got views on this?
Very best wishes
Dave
