You know...you can not choose your parents nor your boss. If you get a good one(s),good for you but if you don't,Amen! If canon engineers read his statements,they all would be shaking their heads.
Don't you get it? They had Paris Hilton on mind. They want you to say, "it's SO hot!". Lol
Zilvinas K: Why all the low light images are ISO 12800? ("impressive"?, c'mon people) Also, Nikon, what's up with a plasticky body and relatively advanced features in one? All 4 entry level DSLRs more of the same. Come up with one that would be nice to take into hands. A rangefinder then...
I guess you understand that all images posted here are in jpeg. If you want to pp high iso images from raw,I bet it will look better. They just wanted to show us this camera's capability and I'm quite impressed with it. You just can NOT expect perfect noise free high iso image from a $699 camera. But for the price you pay,you get a lot of camera and I don't think SONY NEX7 is worth twice as much as D3200.
BTW,can iphone take better high iso image at iso12800 than D3200?
According to news at yahoo Japan, Sony,Panasonic and Fuji Film are fiercely
fighting to take over Olympus. Olympus medical equipments are already well known in the industry and now Sony is seriously considering to enter medical equipments business. Whoever succeeds in taking over Olympus,they will be in good hand.
One of some concerns about this new cam is the lack of DOF. I was wondering if this cam never can take a photo with a nice bokeh?
On Nikon's site,there are some sample photos. Scroll down till you see a butterfly shot.

Click on view smart photo selector sample.
This one photo clearly shows that V1/J1 can take a photo with a beautiful bokeh. I just don't know if smart photo selector will always produce a photo like that or not. Probably not. But at least,with the right lens,the right settings,it could produce a good DOF.
Hide Takahashi: I agree with you. This camera is quite capable. If I get this cam,I will mount my 300mm f/4-AFS on this cam to see how fast AF is. On spec,it's the fastest AF in the world,much faster than D3s. If that claim is true,then Nikon just masde one special cam. I'm a bird shooter so AF speed IS the important.
My D300 performs well but faster AF will always help catch a subject.
Some image samples were not taken in an ideal light conditition. Nikon always handle noise better than other makers so I don't worry about it.
Nobody owns this camera,yet. So how can you make rude comments on this new cam without shooting with this cam? But this is not new. It's been like that at Dpreview for a long time.
Anyway,for superb AF performance alone,I thank Nikon very much. :)
I'm looking forward to test drive it soon.
For me,the 300mm+a 1.4TC is a nice set up but more reach always help. If I could afford,I would get a 500mm f/4 VR but $10000 is just out of my reach. But $900,I can do it.
I agree that the best telephoto lens for this cam would be 70-200 f/2.8 VR. It's sharp and fast and it has VR.

I'm a bird shooter and I think J1/V1 are best suited for a photographer like myself. I use D300/ 300 f/4-AF+TC 1.4 but I always feel I need more reach.
500 f/4 VR would be an ideal lens for me but I just can't afford a $9000 lens. With V1/300 f/4,I can get 810mm in focal length and with the TC 1.4x, 1134mm. And fast AF is a huge plus to track fast moving subjects. Nikon claims its AF is faster than D3s? Wow!
If this cam can take a descent image quality in that focal length,I will seriously consider to get one. $9000 vs. $900. I think my choice is clear.
