However, it does not much to compare the V1 with MFT or APS-C DSLRs and then complain the smaller sensor, or to consider them as drilled compact camera and then complain about the weight and volume, or to see their format correctly as a new stand-alone intermediate size , the then but hold up a neither-fish-nor-meat character. A new meaningful format must not be based on existing or to be measured, it must build a its strengths and weaknesses according to their own circle of interested parties. What may take some time, especially if a good range of lenses initially missing and they will be expanded not always consistent ...
But that seems to change gradually, the more Nikon promotes the System Construction and the CX-format can be established; for good reasons. For an ambitious amateur, the technical overkill shy, and rather quickly and easily want to get good, but even determined designed recordings, is the new relation of this camera system between image quality, compactness, speed, quality and flexibility that is unparalleled, well served.
What full frame, APS-C, or MFT, which all require much more technical resources, if you basically have no professional ambitions as a system camera newcomers, but just want to make private very good pictures? One can wish the format for this group of users only widespread and to everyone impressed at the beginning of technical overkill, as like him stoke the journals, recommend a critical return to its real needs and the required application. Nikon makes this a world-class range.
