i intend to download a firmware upgrade (whether i need it or not later tonite) then try again just had some interesting info regarding use and modes etc from a friend in germany .as soon as i have put it all into practise i will put it on here .can't quiet get my head round why its doing somethings but not others .so firmware could be half the answer .got a few shots with it today but i didn't want to swop lenses as we were on the beach .
eric if you go down the route i have you still have a superb little back up camera that really rocks for very slightly over £400 inc the adaptor .in this day and age its a bargain to go for .i also have the feeling that the FT1 can be fixed to recognise stuff its not supposed to bit like taping canon t/c's someone will figure it out no doubt

Ive been having a bit of a thunk.
I have been deliberating (some say vacillating) between the Fuji EX1 and the Nikon V1/V2 for a while now.
My primary desire would be to use one or the other in place of the D7000 as a walkaround camera. For those occasions that I need telephoto I have 300 and 500 primes which common sense suggests sticking on a V1/V2 to give the longest reach.
But given all the issues you mention regarding focus speed and menu compexity I am wondering if the D7000 is going to be any better cropped to equate to a 2.7 x factor?
(I dont consider the Fuji route for telephoto...but ok for walkaround.)
I dont suppose you could take a couple of shots for me to compare? And email me the jpgs?
D7000 + 300mm versus V1 + 300mm. Same settings if poss.
Doesnt have to be anything special - just an outdoor shot that would enable me to crop the D7000 field of view to the V1 equivalent, for a direct comparison?
If the V1 is better than the D7000 crop I may get one. 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 ?????
