In your signature you list the D800 and the V2. I doubt you will be happy with the V2 + 70-200, it will focus much slower than on the D800. The V2 has a weaker battery than the D800 and the focus ...

Very good idea in case it is not needed for the SB700. Next time I travel with the V1 I might try it. Thanks. I wish the SB900 would have a similar bag. I hate that long tube and never use it. The ...

I don't have the DX version but the FX. In my opinion the VR is only usable on static objects anyway, so yes I think the DX version would be usable on the N1 as well. But... it depends on ...

I agree. The only thing I don't like about it is the location. In my opinion it would have been move to place it to the left. There is no reason to have the EVF centered above the lens like in a DSLR.

Well, I disagree. I have the V1 and the D800 and it is definitely a very fast focusing camera with the right lens, in the right hands, and is definitely the right one for the task. The V1 is also ...

To be honest, I think the whole "whale watching" thing is overrated. I mean, they just come up for a very short time for breathing, and then down again. Where they come up again next time is ...

Some feedback regarding my trip, in case anyone is interested... I decided to leave the V3-F1A adapter and the flash at home. Not because of weight or space but because I realized that the ...

Your example picture is pretty easy to make even with the N1. After all, there is no background to talk about and you have used a strobe (or some other type of artificial light), so there isn't ...

DOF depends not only on the aperture but also on how near you are to the subject. He is VERY near, so of course the DOF is narrow, but you have to be VERY near to get a razor thin DOF. I don't know ...

You know the crop factors so why not do the math on your own? Also, I don't think your questions are that well expressed...

If I could own only one, I'd vote for the 30-110. It is compact and is excellent. To be honest, I think it beats any FX lens in terms of AF speed on the V2... but of course, it depends on what you ...

I guess you mean 24-120... Anyway, been to Island this summer and only took the Nikon 1 V1 with the 10-30, 30-100 and the 70-300 FX lens, plus a small action cam with a "diver suit". I left the ...

Thank you. What to bring is not a common question here but it happens, though I always know what I think I will need or how much I will be ready to carry.  If I leave something behind then so be ...

Thank you. The charger was already packed just like a lens pen and two extra SD cards. Anyway, thanks for reminding me.

Here is a collection of some of my own iconic dead systems... all in working conditions. Not very sad about them being replaced by new and better things, but I keep them as memory items.

Thank you. Just finished printing the last item, a protector cover for the action cam underwater box to prevent scratching the "lens" of the box. I am looking forward to a bit cooler temperature as ...

This is what I will take. Nikon 1 V1 + extra battery 10-30 30-110 70-300 + adapter Flash + adapter GPS Action camera + underwater box The D800 stays at home. Leaving tomorrow, back the week after. ...

I think that as phone cams get better and better, smaller cameras lose their purpose. However, large sensor cameras make sense for some purpose, like when the light is too low, or you need the ...
