Originally posted by JHD I totally agree. The V-1 radically changed my expectation in that regard. There's no sensor or lens that can substitute for instantanious accurate AF and track at 10FPS.
Carpe articulum!
It might be more accurate to say"for you there's no sensor or lens..." I suppose all those photographs taken by people like Richard Avedon, William Eggleston, Edward Weston, Harry Callahan, Robert Frank, Weegee, Ansel Adams, Diane Arbus, et al are really bad because they were taken with cameras without instantaneous accurate AF and tracking at 10 FPS. Heck I think Henri Cartier Bresson's camera didn't even auto focus. What a schmuck he is. If he only knew, I'm sure he would have used a Nikon V1 instead of a Leica......
Don't get me wrong I shoot Nikon cameras and I think the V1/J1 are very good cameras. I wouldn't buy one because they aren't what I would be interested, but they are really good cameras.
