The pricing is a bit gaga, isn't it ?

 

I think I finally worked it out.

 

My wife and I bought a 3 year old VW Golf not that long ago and we paid about as much for it as a brand new Peugeot and the like.

 

We are more than pleased with it and in the future VW Golf is what we are going to stick to.

 

The same for Nikon. I have Nikon going all the way back to the FE2 but after the V1 I got a Sony NEX-5. I dislike the Sony so much that there is no way I am going to get anything other than Nikon.

 

The point is that there are, I am sure, that Nikon has enough base of loyal customers to buy only Nikon regardless of the price.

 

In any case, the price is not that ridiculous. You get a body, removable finder, decent grip as well as a new PD zoom.

 

After using the V1 for about a year, I am beginning to understand what the fuss with PD zooms is all about.

 

And 20 fps with continuous focus? Come on, who else has this?
