Ok, I admit it. I'm a Canon man. Why? Randomly. My first SLR was a Canon 350D. No other reason. If were starting out now, maybe I'd go down the Nikon route.
Or not. To be honest I've pretty much ignored what Nikon have been doing - it doesn't really matter if you've already bought into Canon.
However, as a professional photographer with York's Bestside Photography, as well as owner of www.PhotoSupplyShop.com, I need to keep up to speed.
So, nikon launches the new 1 series, which on the face of it is a new market.
On the face of it, I'm impressed. Last year I bought a Canon G10. I was hoping for something high quality and light weight, to take out on family trips instead of carrying a bag full of DSLR kit. However, I tend to takle stock photos when I'm out and about. Sometimes with considerable financial success.
this is where the Canon G10 let me down. The photos look ok, until you zoom in to 100%, when there's a marked difference between that and a SLR.
the other issus is it's still a typically slow digital camera. Great for taking photos just after something amazing happened.
The Spec looks impressive, full HD, interchangeable lenses (and Nikon are well-versed in making good lenses), up to 60fps for the top model.
Looks nifty too. Plenty of mega pixels (but then who really needs more than 8-10MP?)
I'm looking forward to testing the new Nikon though. Not for it's looks, HD video etc, but to see if, finally, someone's managed to design a non-SLR with a usefully quick response.
Watch this space...
