tent makers have been doing this for years! i have one and they are durable. but sturdy?? maybe for a point and shoot...nothing more

i think time will prove you wrong. good design doesn't date, and Leica is good design, so I don't see that it will fail any more than say Nikon or Canon.

yes, all those shoddy BMW's, Mercedes, Audis, Porches, VW's etc...German Junk! :)

um, i think you've missed the point @mpgxsvcd, the camera does not make the picture better, it's the PHOTOGRAPHER. Do you think we're taking more creative photos than 40 years ago, when cameras...

what are you talking about? Fuji are making some of the most beautiful cameras out there, and people are loving them, look at the sales figures!

hey, I know it's overpriced, but just stop for a minute all you "photographers" hurling negative comments at Leica. Leica, overpriced as it may be, is making real cameras of the highest quality and...

ughh!!

FF offers a lot: shallower DOF, dynamic range, larger viewfinder image, logical lens focal lengths (50mm is 50mm!)

I agree 36MP is too much. why fill up your cards and hard drive with file sizes you don't need?? 24MP is enough, more than enough!

@mcm49 yes it is all really lovely stuff that Fuji is doing, however I have yet to see any EVF come close to the wonderful real experience of looking through a glass pentaprism! I guess one day...

all the camera manufacturers have quality control issues tho. it's not like the old days because they are producing so many more units at a faster rate. still...no excuse for sloppy QC!

this looks great, thanks Nikon! I was hoping for a D300 upgrade, but this is better!! who needs DX crop when you have 24MP?!!

Fuji makes great FILM and now rocking the digital arena with great CAMERAS! what's not to like?!!

why is everyone complaining about the number of dials? Dials are the quickest controls, and most DSLRs have at least 3 or 4, so this is a good thing! way better than fiddling with buttons and menus!

guys, if you're serious photographers, you'll understand that being able to hold the camera up to your eye is essential for good stability and for use in bright outdoor lighting. that's why no...

RPJG the V1 is a toy, not a serious enthusiast camera. Enthusiast cameras should have lots of manual controls, which the V1 does not. Nikon has lost the plot.

no optical finder! so disappointed Nikon, I would have rushed out and bought this camera, here I was thinking Nikon have finally made a great compact...but no :( might have to go the Fuji X10 after...

for all you critics wondering why anyone would buy this sort of camera, have you ever used a Leica?? I agree Leica's are a bit overpriced, but they are great cameras to use! you might think that a...
