But if there is naff all difference I may just keep the D7000 (until a new DX body comes along) and get the Fuji for walkaround.I suppose the other question is whether the V2 is any better than the V1?I realise its a bigger chunk of cash and the v1 is a bargain, but ?????






yep not a problem eric i will get on it sometime tomorrow .is it o.k to just post the pics on here or do you want them sent ,if so i need a e/mail addy 
p.s the V2 has got a really crap write up and reading tween the lines the advances have been made for the benefit of native lens users ,not for large lens users 

Probably best to email to Eric as he probably wants full sized jpg that wont upload here anyway.  You can see his email address in his profile.

I can point you to the the origin of the info but it's a locked site.

If interested I will try to get further info.  There is a full tutorial on opening up the V1 and converting it.
I am not surprised at that...though I don't know why. :rofl:


Maybe the diameter lens diameters and compactness? I will have a better idea if Imget my hands on one!

 I DIDN'T intend moving from the D200IR just yet...although the price of the V1 body might tempt me as I could sell the D200 and it's expensive companion lens!:baffled:

Wow. Look here.
http://nikongear.com/live/index.php?/topic/46637-nikon-v1-ir-conversion/

Eric re the IR item.  Have you tried the X100 with a Hoya R72.With the right WB settings on a Custom setting this works beautifully as it visualises the image on the TFT or EVF and for composing you use the OVF.Same on XPro1 and XE1 but in XE1 there is no OVF.

I was very impressed with the V1 that I tested when it first came out but decided that the X100 and the XPro1 were closer to my needs.

However the V1 has better/quicker AF than either of the Fuji cameras.

Presumably the shutter speeds are long though?

ISO800,  1/30-1/8, f8 is typical here.  Yes needs a tripod but that aids composition!

I've just uploaded a few shots that make me realise why we shouldn't be abandoning the DSLRs for the V2 ... all with the D4 and 500 (Asuming I can get the linking to my gallery to work). Whole session spent at mostly 1250 - 1600 ISO. I love the D3/D4 series under these dull conditions.

(edit - gosh it worked like it says on the packet)

:lol: pays to read the packet.

Love the grebe.
If I hadnt bought the X100 before the V1 arrived I'd have a V1 now but the IQ from them is not close to the X100.

Actually it is a merganser (or goosander)
I think you made the right choice .. If fuji made a lense at about 200 mm I'd be tempted by an xpro1
But my walkaround is the nex at the moment

That lens is coming at the end of 2013 as a 70-200 zoom.
