[QUOTE="retow, post: 52026, member: 147"] I have the V1 with 10-30mm kit lens (27-81mm equivalent), the 30-110mm and the 10mm pancake. Of the lenses I have, the pancake and the 30-110mm get used most. I'm usually a raw shooter and use aperture for conversion of raw files. However, since aperture does not support N1 files yet, these are ooc jpegs, the B&W ones simply converted in iPhoto. To some minor PP has been applied in iPhoto. To me, the N1, i.e. J1 or V1 redefines the point and shoot category. Performance is on par with mid market level dslrs and IQ in good mft territory. The N1s are both, the perfect family fun still and video cameras and the best compact AF street shooters yet. Sure, the files of my GXR or the X100 are better, but the output from the V1 is "good enough" and the camera is so much fun to shoot with as it does not get into ones way. AF speed and accuracy and metering are truly impressive and the Nikon colors are really nice. A few quirks and warts will hopefully be addressed in FW upgrades, but all in all, I think Nikon did a remarkable job with the N1. Fast primes are allegedly in the works, which will make the system even more attractive. [/QUOTE]
