Exactly! I have wondered this for a while. Come on Tokina - stop making cine lenses and produce lenses you have shown for 2 years at photo shows! Maybe now that Nikon has it's own 70-200 f/4...

Oh, and one more use for a "sensor module".  You could have a dedicate black and white module.   For those of you who know what kinds of problems color filters cause and that you have to have 3...

Nikon is already invested in 1" chips.  They have already started developing the 1" system.  If they "put a real chip" in the V3, they would leave lots of 1 system buyers stranded.  I agree that...

I agree with all of this.  One question - I was confused about the new Aptina sensor.  Is that the sensor that is currently in the V2?  Because apparently that sensor offered nothing more than the...

Exactly!  That is really my biggest complaint about my J1 and V1 (well second biggest behind dynamic range of sensor).  I think Nikon built these little cameras thinking they did not want to step...

Mark,     Really?  I have a J1 and a V1 (and a D7000).  I don't think the 1 cameras could be any smaller and me still be able to operate them.  Nikon could probably have made the bodies even...

So before Nikon makes the most popular focal length/aperture lenses for the 1 system, they should build some extreme lenses for a small group of people that would be very grateful?  I can see the...

1.  Better IQ - this is a must for the system to survive.  Can't charge near premium mirrorless prices and still be stuck with 2005 level IQ. System will die otherwise. 2.  Inegration of CLS. 3....

Not sure if a 70-200 f/2.8 lens would be a natural for the CX system (you are talking about actual 70-200mm not 70-200 equivalent which would be a 30-100 (or something like that)).  I think the...

PP,     I also would like to see this lens.  Questions about size aside, I think it would be unique.  But the question is - are there enough people using the 1 system at a high level (like the ones...

Love the colors of the cat photos.  Very nice, natural color.

Smartphone didn't kill the digital camera. Smartphone killed the low end digital camera. Photographers will always need a more powerful tool. Smartphones also didn't kill desktop PC's. Because...

I took my J1 and 30-110mm lens to a pro baseball game last night. Worked really well, and the FL was about right. But that max aperture at 110mm was really limiting me to a pretty slow shutter...

Sorry to hear about that.  I just ordered my V1 from cameta for $249 (refurb).  Lets see what I get.

Seriously?  I am not doubting you, you seem informed.  But it just seems to violate my logic that a 120mm f/2.8 lens developed for a 1" sensor, or a 1 ft sensor would be physically the same size....

Hey that sounds great to me.  That's what I am getting at - really take advantage of that small sensor and the reach it can give you in a compact, and economical package.  Although at 600mm you...

Oh, and another nice think about my imaginary 120mm lens is that 3 years from now when the V5 comes out with IQ equivalent to todays D7100, I can take my 120mm lens off of my V2 and put it straight...

Maybe so, but does the FZ220 have the focus performance, speed,  or image quality of the 1 series?  I assume the are able to pack such a super lens in this camera because the sensor is very...

If Nikon made this lens, it would be a must have lens and really take advantage of the 1 system small sensor.  This would be equivalent of around 300mm on FF - and at f/2.8!  Every nature...

If you are asking why do they drop in value - well economics 101.  Supply and demand.  The market sets the price.  What people are willing to pay sets the price.  Perceived value.  As m4/3 catches...
