'A Few Nikon 1 J1 Shots'

I don't shoot with it often, but here are few that I've taken over the past few weeks...

A lot of people have been and still are bad mouthing this camera but it looks to have great potential as can be seen in your images.

*Possibly* because they're not fully aware that it's the only Nikon body out that has Expeed 3

What does Expeed 3 do?

Doug,
The current Nikon bodies to include the FX flagships have Expeed II. One difference between II and III is that III has dual image processors whereas Expeed II only has a single image processor.

Just got a J1 what does noise reduction mean? I saw the option in the menu... I am pretty new at this stuff, I dont mean to ask dumb questions

Pretty much this.



It will just reduce the amount noise caused higher ISOs in photos. It should only apply to JPEG though.

Those are some great shots with that camera. I'm impressed for the size of the sensor

Pretty cool stuff!

Rob Galbraith, among others, has reviewed the Nikon 1 Series and seems to like it. He has a new review of the FT1 adapter. With the adapter AFS lenses will autofocus in the static mode only, but can yield pretty interesting results. He posted images captured with an 85mm f1.4 which are quite interesting. He also discusses the use of the 70-200mm f2.8 (and cautions about not letting the 1 Series body support its weight as it is not capable of doing so without possible/probable damage.

I suppose that virtually everyone has been pleasantly surprised at the performance of the sensor in these bodies.

Kirk Tuck and Steve Huff both seem to like the 1 Series.

Kirk has described his V1 w/10-30mm lens as "almost pocketable". Aside from his review of the camera, Kirk shot a rehearsal with it and commented favorably about the ISO performance.

Huff did a low light/high ISO series and the results were quite good I thought.

The images posted in this thread are very good indeed. The night shot of the Alamo is one that can quickly show noise because of the high contrast and the black sky that will show any noise quickly. Sure, everybody uses noise reduction in PP and sharpens the images a bit, but that is a given nowadays. (Galbraith used Noise Ninja and the auto sharpen setting on his images.)

I will say that the sensor in the 1 Series seems to have noticeably less noise than the one in the Olympus E-PL2 I have been using.

Cheers
