The Nikon V1 certainly isn't the best mirrorless on the
market, but at the recent price drop to $299 with the 10-30mm zoom, it makes a
compelling case. What this camera would
work really well for is macro, the small sensor creating large depth of field
even at 1:1 full frame equivalent.
With a Nikon 60mm micro, this would make a focal length of
approx 165mm, and with loads of resolution, it would be great on the V1 high
resolution sensor.
Other deals are out there too. I see Henrys had an open box Pentax Q for
under $300, and a Pentax K-01 with the ultra slim 40mm Pancake lens can be had for
just over $400. I love the Q for its tiny size and the K-01 because it can take regular Pentax lenses, with the excellent Pentax21mm f3.2 being a real treat for this camera.
All sound like a bargain
to me.

I don't know why so many knock the K-01. I personally love it, especially the yellow one.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think manufacturers are updating the camera models too quickly before the existing inventory is cleared, forcing them to dump them at bargain prices.
