I now own a superzoom from Nikon. But because it refuses to focus reliably on warblers, flowerpeckers and so forth, I wanted to make an upgrade, and the Nikon 1 mirrorless camera seemed the perfect option for somebody who did not want to lug huge lenses around. The 70-300 mm lens gives 810 mm of reach. That and the camera will set me back less than USD 1500.
But now Nikon has as good as discontinued the series, in view of which its potential value at resale makes me think twice.
What are the alternatives for me? There are superzooms (e.g. the Canon G3X) with a 1" sensor but the autofocus is lamentably slow, or so I hear. And Olympus lenses will cost a lot.
Thanks
