Handled the Nikon 1 today

<p><em>I hope this new camera supports VR in the long AF-S lenses (?).</em></p>

<p>Reportedly it does. But the ergonomics of handling large lenses ... well, all the weight is then on your left hand.</p>

<p>The brochure says the adapter supports VR</p>

<p>There are sample images on Imaging Resource, and some even in daylight show obvious halos around some objects including bright lights but also a red helmet:<br>

This cannot be the lens, so it must be the sensor and/or processing. The J1 only has an electronic shutter, so this might be an artifact of the shutter. Not good IMO and a deal breaker. Or a reason to buy the V1, but blimey that one is expensive.<br>

Otherwise the IQ is rather impressive, much better than I have seen from example photos taken with a budget micro 4/3 zoom. If the V1 cures the halos, then it will be impressive. But that price tag ...</p>
