Hey everyone. We've started a new Forum dedicated to Nikon Mirrorless dedicated to the Nikon 1 cameras (and anything that follows). I'm happy to be the first mod.

So how did I get this honor? I've been researching them for a while and haven't been 100% happy with my micro 4/3'rds setup. So why would someone with a great camera (my D300) care about the Nikon 1? I can't be the only one that has situations where bringing my DSLR is inappropriate, right? I travel for work and often times would be stopped entering a client site with a DSLR. But having a mirrorless setup is unobtrusive.

Most importantly, I'm the first mod because I won an eBay auction for a V1 with the 10-30 and 30-110 VR lenses yesterday! :) I should receive them in a few days so I'll be sharing my discoveries along the way!

Exciting news Ed!!! I'm really looking forward to hearing from you on this system. Thanks very much for getting things rolling! I have a feeling you're going to begin a new wave of NAS throughout Nikonites! :)

Hi,
I shoot the D800E and the D810. My presently longest lens is a Nikkor 300mm f/4 prime. I do have the latest TC 1.4 III but I do not use it since I get better image quality cropping images from the D800E with the Nikkor 300.
I hesitate to buy and carry a Nikkor 600mm lens for occasional birding.

I believe that Nikon 1 would have a market as a bird and sports camera if it had a better image sensor. The image quality from a Nikon 1 should equal or surpass that from a D810 cropped by 2.7.
If this can not be achieved I would like to suggest a Nikon 2 based on a 4/3 sensor. Again, the image quality from a Nikon 2 should equal or surpass that from a D810 cropped by 2.0.
A Nikon 2 equipped with a 300mm lens equaling the image quality of a D810 with a 600mm lens would be a given for birders and sports photographers.
