i also considered it for that reason however the difference in controls i think would be too much for instance u have to hold down the aperture button while scrolling the shutterspeed dial, and to change iso, WB, Quality u have to dig through a menu

Actually Lee told me he was considering it for that reason among others.

Nikon 1 should be pokcetable…

The S100 is. any of this things like mount on 70-200 or adding flash, just doens’t make sense.
If have to carry a bag with you DSLR is a better option.
Nikon 1 fails with the purpose of been pocketable, just like the Sony NEX, but is even a more fail because the IQ is not near to an APS-C. nikon 1 is for a niche of nikon fans.
I have a D7000, great camera, but one series is…

After every comment I have read, I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone consider this camera as an inexpensive backup studio body. In the studio ISO performance doesn’t matter to an extent and 24mp can be useful for retouching and print purposes, not to mention a greater freedom to crop.

Agreed. Few people have the depth of perspective you do, Martin. Bravo, sir.

2/3 fanboys agree, NIKON SUCKS!

If the S100 could mount a 70-200 lens and shoot it as a super telephoto, then in that alternate universe, you might be 1% right.

If the S100 was completely silent (which it isn’t), shot over 5 fps (which it doesn’t), and was capable of adding a flash, I’m sure that would be a reasonable comparison.

Obviously the 1dx C will be king for higher end productions, but for everything else, people will likely be going Nikon (new purchasers, that is). Some will likely sell old 5ds for D800 landscape and portraiture quality, though.

When added by Canon, they are.

When done by Nikon, they deliver.

The D3200 looks better. If you don’t need 6 FPS, or slightly higher AF points, go for it.

Because that is most of their sales.

Unless you are planning on buying many D400s this year.
