More Nikon V1 fun

[ozimax]

I didn't have much intention of keeping the V1, but now I'm reconsidering. The whole system is a hoot. The auto focus is so good, it's spooky. Just point the thing in the general direction and it locks on, 10,30 or 60 fps! The colours are amazing too.

Love #2 and #3 Ozi

[the foto fanatic]

Bright colours yet decent skin tones.
Bit difficult to tell with these images but it looks like noise isn't much of an issue.

No reason not to keep it!

Ozi number 3 of Kezia is just great!

You now must own one of every system ever sold by HN (I remember you mentioning the Fuji), do you see them all as different tools for different jobs or do you prefer one system over another? Or do you just need your credit card banned from HN? J

Great stuff there Ozi...I cannot complain about my J1...and yes you need your credit card banned from HN

Yep, another vote for #3. A beautifully natural portrait.

I like #3, however would consider loosing some of the LHS side of the image.

#4 is right up my alley. good pics, well done.

You're almost correct Glen! I DID own most of these, but they're mostly gone to others. I suppose my hobby is not only taking photos, but trying different cameras, then selling them for small profit. Just occasionally HN (or others) have deals that are ridiculously cheap. Leave the country for a few weeks, receive your GST back from the government, return and sell said item. Voila! Only problem is, sometimes you can get burnt. Oh well, that's life.

My current line up is Canon 60D/50L, Fuji XE-1 and now the V1. If I can pluck up the courage, I might ditch the DSLR and just run with the two smaller cameras. The V1 is such a great camera for photographing my two grandsons with it's instant focusing abilities, and it's now at a throw away price. The XE-1 is a superb all rounder. However, the EF 50L is THE lens of all lens, IMHO. Decisions, decisions.

The bottom line is I'm having fun with these optical machines, and it's a much cheaper enterprise than my other mechanical passion, being large motorcycles!
