Interesting! I didn't know they made an ILC with a 1" sensor.
Yes. The Nikon J1 has the CX or 1" sensor. It allows me to crop to 100% without loss of detail, which I can't do with a bridge camera's 1/2.3" sensor.

No NO NOOO.. Please buy a Canon 100-400 Mark II lens. You will be much happier. You can also use a 1.4x teleconverter on it and it will work fine. It's smaller, lighter, SHARPER, and they are 100% compatible where as you never know what kind of things you'll run into using a 3rd party lens like the Tamron or Sigma.

You'll probably find the 100-400L II is:
a) Sharper
b) More versatile
c) Can be extended by the 1.4x III for more reach
d) Is more expensive
e) Is heavier and larger, maybe negating the idea of a walkaround lens
f) Requires practice for sharp images of moving subjects with the appropriate camera configuration, just like all camera equipment

Judy 2011, who no longer posts on UHH, uses the 100-400L II. She handholds it and gets fantastic photos. It doesn't seem to be too heavy for her. She doesn't shoot bif, but in situ, yet often at a distance with great effect. Using a crop sensor camera, it provides fov up to 600mm.
