rekky: As a Nikon DSLR system owner, can someone remind me, again, why would I even consider purchasing anything in the Nikon System 1 product family? If I wanted to go compact, instead of going for another system, I'd purchase something higher end such as the Sony RX100. Sorry, but one system eats up more than enough of my cash.
Thanks for those replies. It reinforces my hypothesis that only the small percentage of DSLR owners with specialized requirements (very silent shooting, fast-moving, etc) would find value in System 1. If you don't already have a DSLR system, this is a different story.

rekky: $224 for a tripod collar? You have got to be kidding me!
It seems that Thom Hogan is in agreement with me, based on his web site. I guess that he would also go under the category of 'people who need to bitch' and 'hater'.

Need to bitch? The collar should cost them no more than $10 to produce in quantity. The markup is out of this world. Some of us prefer to mount a long lens via a tripod collar instead of putting stress on the camera's lens mount. Maji, you should look in the mirror before you start putting other people down.
