    I have been wanting a new camera for a while now. My last couple have been Sony camera. I was hearing a lot about the new Nikon 1 cameras but wasn't what I wanted. I kinda wanted a point and shoot for nights out and a DSLR for everything else. The issue with that is the cost. After a while, the Nikon 1 started to interest me. I decided to try it. I can always get a DSLR down the road if needed but for now I feel that the size of the Nikon 1 will have me using it a lot more.

    So I ended up with the Nikon 1 J2. The J3 is out but because of the deal I received on the J2, it would be almost double the price for the J3. I just don't think that the added cost is worth it. The savings could go toward an extra lens if I like.

    So far I'm happy with the camera. I just need to learn to use more of the features and learning how to take better shots.

    Haven't had a chance yet to take any shots of cars. I will try to get some of them at some point.

    Awesome, James. I'd also like a point and shoot one, but not sure yet what the best choice is (for me). By the way, your shots are awesome, specially the second one :thumbsup: Very clear pictures :thumbsup: That's exactly what I want in a camera, plus other things. I love macros of things... specially flowers; I love looking at them, but I need a better camera to get really clean ones.
