Re: New Nikon 1 System J2
Maybe I should sell my D80 and get one of these....does almost as much and easier to pack
Re: New Nikon 1 System J2
Micro four thirds here.
Is the AF really better than the OM-D ?

In my experience, yes. I pushed it really hard and it didn't fail me. However, I don't feel like I had the OM-D long enough to really test the auto focus enough so I am not really sure. I need some more time with the OM-D to test the continuous auto focus some more. I have seen some samples since I returned it to Olympus that make me doubt my initial impressions. Either way, the Nikon 1 AF is excellent.

Not me, at least not until they make one with a screen I can use without putting on my reading glasses. :D
Re: New Nikon 1 System J2
Please Nikon could we have the same sensor and autofocus system with the equivalent of a 28-105 f1.8 - 4.5 stabilised, non-interchangable lens and a zoom ring that works the right way in a package the same size as the Canon S100 (i.e. really pocketable for non-photographer moments).
I mean if Sony can do it (more or less) with the RX100 then Nikon can do it. They already have the sensor. Probably sell much more than the J series - on Amazon's list of top selling digital cameras, the RX100 is number 3, the S100 is number 17, the J1 is - euh - nowhere..
Apologies. This is not the right forum to make this request.
Re: New Nikon 1 System J2
Olympus withdrew the 1.2 firmware update after it bricked a few cameras.
Those who installed it successfully think the continuous AF is slightly improved.
Could be placebo effect :)

olympus firmware on nikon 1 ? surprised it even worked for anyone :D
kidding aside, this new model looks to me as a strategy to justify lowering the price a bit and hoping it sells more

Yup. That's what I thought - a reminder to people that Nikon has a mirrorless camera system, too :)

It's a Leica X1 with digiscope adapter fitted on a Leica Apo-Televid spotting scope. i.e. a point-and-shoot. Not a CSC.

, the Nikon System 1 cameras still have the best auto focus of any compact camera I've ever used
Correction, add the word "continuous" in front of auto focus, its single shot AF does not surpass Oly.

Thats what I thought as well, at least its a gesture in the right direction, though I think they could have done more.

Here's one way to shoot fast action shot with M5:

Scroll down to read posts from DonParrot.
Some tried but didn't quite get the same result. Close though.
