Hmm…the more I look into it, the more interesting it gets with the Nikon 1. It has to do with the way the Nikon 1 turns itself on – you have to press two buttons (plus a big twisting wrist movement) just to be able to begin shooting! Unbelievable but true!
Secondly, just when I thought the lens cannot get any longer, it literally extends itself to twice its barrel length for the Nikon 1 10-30mm lens when turned on! And did I say the lens will remain protruded until you literally have to twist it back to the “L” position? What a pain! So what if you don’t? Well, just be ready to have your lens scratched or hit when carrying it about.
Say, did Nikon allows a protective filter on her kit lens? Nope, not at all. How about a lens hood? Nothing too. How about the EVF you say? That looks pretty cool to me. Mechanical shutter sound? Horrible. Sounds like a cheap Canon DSLR’s shutter release.
Like I said – its not for those who owns a serious DSLR and wish to own a competent compact companion. The Nikon P7100 will be that choice instead.
