Very nice shots, a good example of the strength of the V1.

These are some nice shots! Handhold or tripod?

Damn... 1134mm. Cool boats - looks like a wild ride!

Thanks chaps.

Monopod on most, some handheld.

Yes, I reckon there were over 300 boats taking part in this race.

Really nice images, I wonder what the focal length would have ended up with that setup?

Thanks Nick, it's a 35mm equivalent of 1,134mm.

Really nice sailing photos Dave!

It sure must be fun to get great images with that relatively low cost setup.

Was that hand held?:smile:

I've never been interested in the V1 till my girlfriend got interested in a system camera, she's looking at a Panasonic GF1. I've looked at Nikon alternatives and found the V1. Looking at your photos and others here I'm thinking of getting one my self, l like the idear of having the easy handling of the V1 and having the option of sticking my DSLR lenses on it, I'm very tempted !
