I had a similar situation when I had my D50. Mounted it on my tripod and then put the tripod over my shoulder...and instantly felt it get lighterand then I heard the camera hit the pavement. only good thing that came out of it was the upgrade to the D80. I love my DSLR still. There are pho

my main lens on my Nikon has been an 18-200. It's a great walkabout lens. The Nikon 1 has something similar, but it doubles the size of the camera so I can't see me getting it anytime soon. I probably won't get similar lenses for the Nikon 1 as I'll still use my DSLR when appropriate. e.g. Port

I'm not sure how it compares with the current ones, although my gut instinct would say it's a step below in photo quality just because of the physics of sensor size. As for lenses, the mount for the Nikon 1 lenses is quite a bit smaller. These lenses will easily fit in your palm. You can get an

How does the camera compare against the current crop of Nikon semi pro cameras such as the D3100 or D7000? One problem I can see is that we've invested a certain amount in lenses - are they compatible? On Thu, Jan 3, 2013 at 3:32 PM, Zaphod Beeblebrox wrote: > > oh, and I forgot to mention how d

I've owned a Nikon D80 for several years now along with about 5 lenses. This christmas I put a Nikon 1 on my wishlist and got it. It's funny how the camera will affect the way you take pictures. With my D80, I'm usually trying to be more technical in getting the settings correct. The Nikon 1,
