I've been waiting a long time for Nikon to go "mirrorless" so when one of my local stores had one one V1 in stock ( they only got 2 a couple of days ago) I had to have a play with it - and I was hooked.
Price was US$1,100 with the two kit lenses (10-30 and 30-100 zooms ).
I did a quick digiscoping test on the Swarovski 25-50 zoom eyepiece with the 10 - 30/3.5-5.6 zoom. At 25x vignetting disappears around 16 mm and stays away and at 50x it disappears at 14 mm ( using the Swarovski UCA adapter ).
I did a quick test of the 30 - 100 zoom v the Nikon P7000 too.
This lens doesn't give a lot more than from the P7000 as can be seen here at iso 100.
I love the speed and the Electronic Viewfinder. Shame no rotatable screen.
Live testing from the field shortly.
