When I bought the V1 (350€ with a lens) there really was nothing else like it.
At that time I thought that my 30+ Fmount lenses would shine on the V1. I found out that only CX lenses work great on the V1.
As Jo points out "The lens prices are (at least with the 32/1.2 "portrait" prime) too close to the ones with bigger sensor." Whilst this is true I have to tell you all that I'm no millionaire, but dropping 500€ on a used 32mm f1.2 is not a big deal for me. Also, I bought the 70-300mm CX new for the street price.
But look, I can sell them and make very little or no loss.
The thing that some people simply don't get is that if it says "Nikon" there will be enough people who will buy it. Just like Leica and ZEISS.
Sure, folks can go on about how Nikon is “going down the drain†but I really don't care. I doubt that I will still be alive when Nikon goes the same way as Kodak.
When I get in the mood I'm gonna post some shots that show that the J5 can match it will the D600 (in good light).
There are a lot of us who just want a small Nikon body to have fun with.
“Best†image quality, all the whistles and bells are not everything. We just want Nikon and no one is going to talk us out of it.
