Dumping the DSLR? in Mirrorless Digital Cameras Posted September 17, 2012 I love my Nikon v1, despite my stable of Canon cameras and lenses. I bought the v1 for travel when a neck problem made carrying pretty much anything a literal pain. I hung it off a black rapid strap, which admittedly looked a little silly, but it worked. Camera weighed so little I couldn't tell it was there, and the three lenses I took on vacation could fit in a jacket pocket. Better yet, the image quality and the fast autofocus produced an abundance of usable, non blurry photos taken on one of those tours where they herd you around at a fast pace. I just pulled the camera up, clicked, and went on. I was very favorably impressed with what I had when I got home. Haven't made any super large prints, but 8x10 was fine. The v1 has become the camera I take everywhere, displacing a canon s90 that was just too little, and lacked a viewfinder, which I just can't live without. The EVF on the v1 is excellent. I hope the OP hasn't gone away... the v1 is a fine choice ... but you don't have to give up the DSLRs. Still love my 60d. Everything has its place.
