Thread: Who got a Nikon V1 and still has it?

Very true! I think a menu change and some button customizability via firmware update would address the few issues I had with the V1. My only other issue (that I can remember) was the auto-ISO implementation. So a V2 is actually not needed as long as Nikon is willing to update the firmware and implement the changes. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Not really Alan, it's fast enough that it doesn't give me much trouble. I also have an 18-200 that does have VR and it works like a champ.

I am planning on keeping my V1 kit as an ultra light weight hiking solution (see A Chance Encounter | Western Alberta ) for some shots in July. The FT-1 with the 70-200 makes a great wildlife option too.

That being said I am probably going to sell off my DX stuff to fund an XP1....at least that is my thinking today :)

I just sold mine a couple of days ago.

From me

Simply downsizing my camera collection. Working my way down to just the Ricoh GXR and GRD4. Still have my Q, may or may not keep that. Nice to have the compact 47mm camera.

Nikon 1 V1, 110mm (297mm EQ), F5.6, 1/20s, ISO 3200

Very nice John.

That's not fair, that cat Nate is so handsome ANY camera would take a good looking photo.
