I have gotten the necessary adapter and connectors for the V1 on the Swarovski ATX95. Suffice it to say, after a little playing around, that is a lot of reach! I am still learning the camera a bit and I do like the use of a viewfinder. But the viewfinder is not what I would call top notch on the V1. It does not really help with focus like the focus assist on the Sony RX100II does. So.....I am going to buy the viewfinder for the hotshoe on the RX100II and see how it works out. The difference in focal length between the two is substantial and it is sometimes a hindrance n tight quarters having so much. And so far the RX100 has a better image to my eye. Still need some decent sunlight to really put the Vi through it's paces. But here are some starter shots.
This juvenile Sharp Shinned was over a football field away when I took this picture. I had to crop for composition and you can see the noise in the shadows which is what you will get with a micro 4/3 most of the time when underexposed and cropped.
This was an adult Coopers Hawk that I just took a picture of. It is very gloomy and the shutter speed was 1/15th. So there is a little blur. Hoping for some light net time it stops by. I will also need the RX100II for it as I had to back up into the side yard to get a half a shot of the hawk.
You can see the V1 does well in the light. From my preliminary shots the RX100II is better in darker/cloudy conditions in regards to noise than the V1. They each have their use and I will use both for different situations. And I will probably upgrade to the GX7 perhaps as it has an electronic shutter and a viewfinder that is better than the V1. As well as focus assist.
