Nikon always has the best models each and every year.

The Nikon 1 camera seems pretty nifty and speedy in operations.  I was shooting with the Fuji x100, I had some unrealistic expectation of that thingy.  And it turned out not what I thought.  I am old school and I thought the camera doesn't have the right mass for its size to inspire confidence, I'm sure it's easy on the hands and shoulders.  The write speed is just atrocious.  Everything seems slow.  But I do like the view finder.  And Nikon 1 seems pretty smart or I am just not so informed and aware of current technology, the viewfinder just comes to life when I put my eye and look through it so I think that's pretty darn smart.  I always enjoy a good viewfinder.

Nikon Lens Super-quite[sic] Autofocus - 1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm

1 Nikkor VR 10-100mm f/4.5-5.6 PD-ZOOM


Snipped from Nikon-Europe

It is super-quite[sic].  Despite the super superlative.  It's still quite, meaning not really there yet.  So be prepared to manual focus.  Or simply buy a manual focus lens on eBay or Craigslist.  If you want quiet autofocusing you have to get the STM lenses.  All other lenses that have the Stepping Motor (STM) are written as super-quiet.  Though I don't understand why Nikon put the (STM) after "Stepping" instead of "Stepping Motor."

UPDATE: 12/30/2011
It's still "super-quite."  It looks like that's the correct way to say it as Nikon Europe has no problem with it.  Or they think the lens will be so short lived or nobody is buying or researching it so why bother correcting it. Bravo.
