No reason to pay for no visible improvement. I got the D610 because I could see a difference between shots on it and DX cameras I actually went to the store to buy. D7100 is an exceptional camera, ...

Probably pick up a J5 body and enjoy my gear until it needs to be replaced (if ever) and then decide on replacement. V2 with lenses I have give adequate IQ and can't be beat for a portable system IMO.

Will have to wait and see how it all pans out. But, providing Nikon gives me the V4 body I'd like to see, would be delighted to add a fast fixed lens 1in compact to my carry bag.

As far as I know just wishful thinking . . .

My vote is for a 20mm f1.2

My wish list: put the J5 sensor in the V2 body, done. My wildest dream list: a larger sensor (2.2 crop factor) in a down-scaled e-M1 clone body My even wilder dream list: a mini D810 compatible ...

If you're going with primes only, you should add the 32mm f1.2

Tentatively excited, but . . . Honestly, I'd like to see Nikon go a totally different direction with this (if true). Biggest competitor to me for Nikon isn't Sony, but M4/3rds. Each iteration of ...

I plead guilty, as charged . . . ;)

Adorama has refurbished D7100 for $489 and B&H selling Sigma 17-50 for $417. For under $1000 you have a top notch set up and can spend your savings on a nice family vacation

Glad you're sticking around. I've always enjoyed your posts, dating back to the extended lens test you were doing on stuffed wolves.

+1 on the V2 with 10-100 or 70-300. In good light it has decent IQ and can't beat it for lightweight and portable.

It would have to have some impact, if for no other reason the existence of the Nikon 200-500 means I would never buy the 80-400 at its current price. So, whatever percentage of photographers out ...

GAS? Most definitely! I successfully battled a recent attack with the Newegg/Cameta D7100  refurb body sale for $499. Despite the fact that I don't need or even really want a DX body all that much, ...

I was within seconds of pushing the submit button on the deal, and backed out. Sweet deal . . . sweet camera, but I don't have any DX lenses now, plus am super pleased with my D610 and V2 combo ...

I am agnostic about virtues of OVF vs EVF, except that I cannot wear my sunglasses while looking through my Nikon V2 viewfinder. No issue with sunglasses and the OVF on my D610. This is an issue as ...

Actually, I have a fair bit of room left in the case. Could easily accommodate the J5 and/or another lens or two. My point wasn't to put down M43, but to show that size doesn't much matter. I have ...

My Nikon N1 Kit Bag measures 7 x 8 x 12 inches. It easily holds: 2 ea Nikon V2 Bodies 6.7-13mm CX 10mm 10-30mm 10-100mm (non-PD) 18.5mm 30-110mm 32mm 70-300mm CX 50mm f1.8 FX FT-1 Adaptor NX5 Flash ...

I will repeat, since you only have one shot at this and limited time. If the majority of the pics are 5x7 or less and in reasonable shape you will not come close to the true scanning speed you can ...

If the photos are in decent shape I would reccomend a Fujitsu sheet fed scanner rather than flatbed. I have both. The Fujitsu is much faster and does as good a job. I have both of the below ...
