<p>I must say when I saw the headline I thought, "Great, Nikon has introduced three new fixed lens cameras - with 24/1.8; 50/1.8 and 85/1.8 primes!!! Wow, let's check it out... <br> And hey, I was a little underwhelmed, but I have become intrigued as to what they have to offer. On paper, the 18-50 could easily replace a number of cameras thanks to its AF and what looks to be a very good lens (here's hoping). That includes my ageing X100, my long-since shelved Canon G9; and I believe it is miles better than the other mirrorless cameras I have tried out in the past: NEX-7 & G3.<br> My D300, on the other hand will probably be replaced by the D7200. </p>

<p>No offense Jim, and thank you for your advice; and the compliment. However, it seems as if this forum is dead in the water.<br /><br />The only person to comment on my desire for purchasing a Leica product on a Leica forum suggested I stick with Fuji. <br /><br />Maybe everyone else here is too busy taking photos to comment... </p>

<p>Hi Jim. I have the original X100 with the most recent firmware updates. And I have had success with it (see my PN gallery) though I'm not enamoured with the AF and the controls, but it's what I have so there it is. </p>

<p>I'm considering buying one of these for use as a daily street/travel shooter to replace my Fuji X100, a camera I have never quite managed to fall for. <br /><br />Are there any X-E shooters in this forum and would you care to comment?<br /><br />Thanks</p>

<p>The Q is the first camera I will save up for. No choice, really, ha ha.</p>

<p>Hi Wouter. I love the NEX 7! When it comes to handling and all round ability (cept low light) it's very useful.</p> <p>I am attaching a suitable NEX7 image to give you an idea as to what I use it for<br /><br /><br /><br /></p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Andrew. Yes, the A7 is out of budget, not to mention the A7s, D7100, 7d ii... <br /><br />I am a stills guy. Never done video before, so I don't know if AF is an issue or not. And if the camera sensor is good enough, can a F3/5 aperture be sufficient in low light? I have no idea. <br> Lens-wise, yeah, Sony do not have it together. Some gems, but I can get those for less if I shoot the Nikon equivalent. <br> But I can see there is a need for video shooters (esp in Israel, particularly in news there's a dearth of cameramen) so why not?<br /><br /><br /></p>

<p>Sorry, ANOTHER FYI, these photos were taken with a Fuji X100 (sold) that wasn't very good when it came to low light AF. I posted these here to give you an idea as to how 'low light' it can get, albeit not in a cave...</p>

<p>Sorry, I seem to have made a mess of uploading the pics. And FYI I use my English name (Not Eyal) on the watermarks</p>
