Where to put your V1 hotshoe cover: Where to put your V1 hotshoe cover? Photo Gallery by John Ewing at pbase.com

Yup.

Something to do with this? https://nikoneurope-en.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/52326

Did a bit of pixel-peeking on PBase. Result: ordered one from Amazon for 260 €, currently waiting while it does a fandango across Europe in the perplexing mitts of DHL. Here's the best of the galleries that helped the decision: nikonj1 Photo Gallery by AndreasE at pbase.com

Taking all the above into consideration, I took the beastie out in bright sunlight yesterday and got a couple of acceptable shots. Nothing startling, but good enough for a PAD on PBase. The camera is OK given adequate light and no challenges - i.e. when shot like a compact. Considering the...

Certainly, but as you say high-capacity photosites give you more latitude. I just hadn't expected them to be so small on the EP3. For a static subject I'd use stabilization, but IS doesn't freeze subject motion.

Yeah. One of the early shots I took was under heavy cloud with a bright band on the horizon. I metered on the band, aiming for glowering velvety clouds above and dark land beneath. The clouds weren't bad, but the heavily shadows in the foreground looked as if they had died and decomposed a week...

Here's a detail of an E-P3 shot alongside one from the G12: There's not a lot in it, but I find the G12 shot rather more subtle in the toning - i.e. the better DR is showing through. This could be due to the somewhat fierce default NR in the Oly, though.

Interesting answers... thanks, all. Luke, your shots are something of an education. Maybe I am being too hard on it. On the DSLRs I often underexpose by a couple of stops to allow a higher shutter speed, then bump up the exposure in ACR. There just isn't the latitude in this sensor. In...

Well, that has happened more or less automatically. But tell me this, if you have one: how do you get a clean image out of it?

I was given an E-P3 last Christmas, and since then virtually every shot I have taken has been a test shot. The image quality just isn't there. It barely (and only occasionally) measures up to my Canon G-12 and never to my Nikon DSLRs, certainly not the D300s but not even the D40. OK, it might...

Agree with Spinyman: the first pic is tremendous, the other two are great. A question: Just how frustrating is the P&S aspect? For the small size and the good sensor I'd be prepared to sacrifice some control, but I would like be able to coerce the thing into obeying me without spending half...

There was one of these on my Amazon wish-list, but for some reason - not, I hope, unconnected with my upcoming birthday - it has disappeared. How very nice! Nice, too, to see such a positive series of crits. Jollifies one no end. Ta!

Yes, both E-P3 and G12 have that. Haven't tried the SLRs yet. Think I'll sell the thing.

The Fotodiox arrived and it's fine. A wee bit stiff on the adapter/lens flange, but nothing serious. The lenses certainly aren't going to wobble about. Now I'm having fun rediscovering not just my old lenses but the macro rings, converters and Cokin filters I had back then. I even have an...
