"Everyone's looking for redemption in a new camera. The old ones work pretty well." --Thom Hogan, 2011.
Yes, I mean you. Quick, how many different cameras have you bought in the past two years? Is your photography any better?
Second quote: "If you want a sports car, buy a sports car; if you want a econo-compact car, buy that. Don't tell me that everything has to be a pickup truck or SUV." --Thom Hogan, 2011.
The Nikon 1 is not a sports car, pickup truck, or SUV. If you need one of those, buy the appropriate model of your choice, but it isn't a V1 or J1. Those are econo-compact cars.
Third quote: "Why not watch the movie before you write the review?" --Thom Hogan, 2011.
It seems that not only is the Nikon 1 the worst thing since sliced bread (and not a sports car or SUV ;~), but now all future Nikon cameras are suspect, too. Yep, you heard it here first: the D4 will be a dud. The emails coming into my In Box say so, and they must be right.
If you got one of the above lines in my email response to you yesterday, you need to calm down and actually evaluate what Nikon has on the market: adequate compacts, an interesting mirrorless product of still unknown capability, and six damned good DSLRs that'll go head to head with their competitors. The Nikon 1 announcement only changed one of those things. The appropriate response if the Nikon 1 isn't interesting to you is "ho hum, I wonder what they'll introduce next?" (Hint: it'll be an update to one of those damned good DSLRs, and it should be soon.)
Oh, and one more thing: if you're a guy (and most of you are), you weren't really the target (especially for the J1). Complaining about the product just confirms that Nikon didn't accidentally hit innocent bystanders while aiming at their target.
