[QUOTE="speedandstyle, post: 277299, member: 10745"] I like the looks of this one! The V2 fixed some issues that the V1 had but it wasn't the best looking. The V3 looks very nice and I like the add-on EVF{I use them on my m4/3 Olympus PENs} and grip. It being modular makes it more versatile, set it up the way you need it. The price is a little high but not horrible. I don't like that you have to get the new lens if you want a V3. There should be a body only{or body with EVF and grip} kit. From what I understand Europe and Asia get the option. There are a couple of things that I don't like on the V3. First it uses micro-SD cards. I have used the micro cards before for small action video cams and they function fine but are hard to insert/eject and very easy to loose. I wish Nikon had used the regular SD card slot. Another thing that sucks is that you have to pull the grip off to change the battery{or at least if the battery loads from the bottom - I have not found a picture of where the battery door is but they are almost always on the bottom}. I also wish that Nikon had put an AF-on button on the back. I assume the AF/AE lock button can be assigned to this function but I like having the ability to use both without having to reset in the menu. From what I could find the Fn buttons can't be assigned to AF-on. I am also very interested in the new super-tele zoom! For the reach it can't be beat. It would be like having an 800mm on FF! The Nikkor 800mm f5.6 is over $17K BTW. [/QUOTE]
