After seeing what the 30-110 and the 10 f2.8 lenses could do I decided that my 10-30 wasn't really all that good. So I got another copy very cheaply off the Internet and set out one sunny afternoon to do some test shots. My test shots tend to be rather boring and mundane and are meant for me to test out these tools. They do mean something to me and do  tell me a lot about the lens because of what and how I photograph the world around me.

This second copy is much better than the first and is a keeper. I am now much happier with the system and the more I work with it the better the images seem. I think people would find it difficult to tell the difference between these images and any other camera on the market today. I'm not saying that you can replace a Nikon D88 with the Nikon V1 but images posted on the Internet are of course much smaller and the difference cannot really be seen.

Printing is another matter, especially when you start to print big. I wouldn't start thinking about printing the V1 images at poster size, I don't think the camera was meant for that but up to a size of say 30 x 20 centimetre prints there would be no noticeable difference. This is just my opinion of course and yours may differ from mine.
