and now I've read somewhere that Sony is planning for a full frame NEX, damn I'll just invest in this series, as there are virtually adapters for every kind of lens in the world for this camera, coupled with APS-C size sensor, I can flexibly use any kind of lens that I would want to use later in...

which is why, as far as mirrorless go, I am now more inclined to buy Sony's APS-C sensor NEX rather than the N1 system, and I've read more and actually there's a whole aftermarket of Sony lenses which performs graciously, perhaps I shall look more into it. the NEX F3D comes with two lenses, the...

and then we fall back to the true master of the camera lines, the lenses, the more I research upon this, the more I get the impression that Sony actually have excellent sensors, with mediocre lenses, while Nikon have just the opposite in the mirrorless category, and in fact, the best out there...

After reading more into Sony's offer I found out that it might have more bangs for the buck than the Nikon 1 J1. You see the J1 can't be customized, at all, except for the lenses, while the F3 is as customizable as all the higher-end member of the series are, and particularly useful things such...

well actually I just found out that my local shop also have a Sony F3D deal with two lenses just 40$ above the N1, with 16 MP APS-C CMOS, now I'm getting all confused O.o because I plan to have a full dSLR system later on and I am inclined to rather take Nikon than Sony for that.

Ok then with another month still looming before I have enough budget to buy anything, I'm now considering between a nikon D3100 kit or a the 1 J1 well yes, one of the many restraint of having the 1 system is the lack of manual steering on the lenses, but the lack of pro lenses for the 1 system...

Well after thinking about it deeply, I think I will go for Nikon 1 after all. For the next 5 years perhaps, I can only commit myself at the range of $2000 for the camera, and if I buy a dSLR now, I will get less lenses than I would with a Nikon 1, I might end up with 5 lenses, and a really good...

dammit Unstung, now I'm leaning over to D3200 again :lol:

well D90 was amongst the first dSLR that shoots video, current dSLRs are able to take astonishing HD quality videos and my friends the amateur film-makers (IDK how they still have time for that AND med school) use a couple dSLRs and believe me, the only thing still lacking from them is the...

and after that it all counts to self-control, which largely come from education.

well if you're still in HS, don't even start to trust the girl's judgment, teenagers aren't exactly famous for their ability to evaluate a person.

Well not going to buy in another month or so, but you have been a great help to narrow down my choice according to need and budget (hell if it's according to want rather than reason, we'll be talking about a 60MP 3.5" CMOS Hasselblad here) ---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous...

Alright, but my argument still stands that having auto-focus motor gives a wider choice of lenses, and you said that sometimes, a lens built in certain year is considered better than the others, and I think that if I seriously want to indulge myself in this, I have to get the widest array of...

Nobody ever crossed the same river twice, for the river has flown and he is not the same man anymore.

and one more thing, Virgin is in for this venture not for the "space" thingie, it's the possibility of having that London-Sydney flight in two hours thing, which is also why they going orbital is highly unlikely, they are going to rather optimize high-speed suborbital flights which is much more...

well having the built-in motor, as I read it, for Nikon, is the difference of having autofocus on every lenses available for auto-focus, or only on select lenses which have integrated motors, and this is the primary reason of why D3200 only have 11 auto-focus point, by starting later and skip to...

well the nikon D3200 don't really have autofocus, it depends on the motors from the lenses to do it which means that a higher model with built-in motor would be the proper way to go as far as we talk about dSLR, and those models can have $700 pricetag just for the body. Unfortunately due to...

he is lurking because of college work, but he does and still read this thread, so just wait for his reply ;)

I am now seriously considering to go for Mirrorless Nikon 1 J1 with the double lens package (18 - 30 and 30 - 110) at only $550, but I might also still go for Nikon D3200 at $580 here, but yes, as you said I might end up with at least two cameras (a mirrorless and a dSLR) and in another 3 - 4...

well yes, I agree, out of many friends' camera that I tried, my best results are with dSLR exactly because of the optical viewfinder, it gives your eye a full view of what your camera is seeing, rather than a digital picture of it, which makes up a lot of difference in the results, because the...
