You can use a lot of different lenses on a lot of different cameras with a lot of different converters. I didn’t mention it because it’s really not a unique feature (kind of like saying you can use a micro sd card with an adapter). Hope you understand. But yes, you can. And that’s a great feature that a lot of manufacturers have allowed for….

The review does not mention that the V1 lets you use your regualar Nikkor lenses (with a $200 converter). I use my V1 on my 70-200mm f/2.8 and, since the crop factor on this camera is 2.7x, it gives me an effective field of view as if I were using a 190mm-540mm f/2.8 lens. Great for wild life and sports since it can shoot stills at 10, 30 or 60 fps with the electrinic shutter.

The lack of a standard hotshoe kills this for me. It means I can’t use my sb700 (I know, it’s huge, but whatever) or sb400 (more appropriate for the size) and it means I can’t use radio triggers either for wireless. Dead in the water. The camera is no longer the only thing you buy; it’s part of a system of other gear you have.

I agree with a lot of the comments above. We put together a video review last year. It’s a bit dated as we comment on the price which has come down quite a bit but there’s a lot of good info, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoaly9KdTHI
