Having been humming and hawing about whether or not to get a V1 to see how it compared with a a m43 camera so far as focusing was concerned, I finally bit the bullet at the end of last week.
Never having used a Nikon before there is a fair bit that I need to get used to. However, one thing is certain - it certainly focuses quickly. I don't see any major disadvantage with the smaller sensor either - Nikon seemed to have sweated its performance to the max.
I have been trying for ages to crack birds in flight with m43. Even on my first attempt with the V1 I had more half decent attempts than I did with the m43. The only problem is that with the lens being c300m equivalent, it is a little short. It would be nice if there was a 600mm equivalent. I know that the book answer is to use the adaptor and proper Nikon glass. If I could afford the latter I could probably afford the swanky DSLR to drive it.
Here are a few from this morning (heavily cropped):

And one from the garden yesterday - I think it was a young and rather naive Siskin (uncropped):

Anyway, I am pretty impressed so far.
