Year End Birds with J1

Happy New Year to everyone!!!
Here I would like to share some field test shots from yesterday morning. I bought a Nikon J1 to replace my Nikon P5100 as a digiscoping camera but since the FT1 adapter already in the shop, I purchased it to give it a try.

So, with the J1 + FT1 adapter + Nikon 300mm f4 .... (yes, noise is obvious due to small size sensor)

personally I think the J1 and V1 can still be a decent camera for bird photography, but beware do not use a long telephoto lens, do the maths. I have tried with my 180mm lens, it works pretty well. but anyone how have a 200mm f2, should give it a try too. Those who are more talented in video, try the V1.

Cheers!

I love your................. "icon"........ hahaha, but ok la, the rest also nice...... same wishes to you too, this morning weather not nice, no new year birds to share.....

So many bird for you to test ka... I want to test 3,4 and 5 too...

nice and I would like to try on V1 to my 328 soon.

Not bad, 2.7 crop for 300mm lens is a good reach!!

I am quite disappointed with the small sensor and no tiltable LCD.

I think I will get a Sony NEX-5N (or maybe NEX-7) for digiscoping

makus, me think the NEX7 will be much better. although initially i wanted to get the Panasonic GF2 / GH2 for digiscoping but having seen some good results from digiscopers using the V1/J1, I decided to try it out.

yes, i agreed that nikon could have put a more functional LCD screen and bigger sensor at least the same size as a micro four third. just praying nikon will produce better mirrorless body in the near future.
