I forgot to post this information about the new Nikon V2. http://www.dpreview.com/products/nikon/slrs/nikon_v2 It seems like a worthwhile upgrade to the V1. It now has a built in flash, a slightly higher MP sensor, standard flash shoe and better layout of controls (IMHO). The Nikon1 V1, the old model, can now be had for a very cheap price!

I've sort of lost track of the Nikon range outside of DSLRs. Where does this V series rank alongside others in this format or the Fuji X series for example?

The Nikon1 have a 1" sized sensor. So logically they will give much better images than a compact camera and they do from the shots I took with the J1 and V1 when I looked when I was in UK last year. The V2 should give no major improvement but I havent tested it. The Fuji X100 quality is much better (IMHO) than the V1/J1 as is the Fuji XE1 and XPro1 but then again they have APS-C (DX) sized sensors so would be expected to win.

Jac loves her V1 and in daylight the photos are more than acceptable. I've been looking at the Sony RX100, might be a great P&S? Thom rated it highly. Might be a Christmas present to myself

Rich have you had your X100 fixed? The new Fuji XE1 is very similar IQ but has interchangeable lenses and cost less than AUD$1000

I'm going to pop the Fuji in to a local camera shop, but might wait till after Christmas, visiting Adelaide (Jac's family are based there) and I want a pocketable camera for that, and I can adjust the exposure as I go. The Sony looks to be much smaller and might have a faster focus speed, but you lose the viewfinder. It's apparently usable up to ISO 3200 compared to 6400 on the fuji which isn't bad for something that small. I will wait to hold one before making any decisions, but for the size it seems like it might be a nice truly pocketable camera. KR on his site is raving about the iPhone 5 camera, so that might be an alternative, but I don't give much weight to his opinion.

If you get a NEX6 then you get a camera which has all the bells and whistles, interchangeable lenses, EVF, fast focussing, etc.. RX100 is meant to be good but I cant manage without a viewfinder OVF or EVF. Wouldnt trust anything KR says!

According to the DxO tests on the Nikon1 V2 the output is not as good as the V1. http://nikonrumors.com/2012/12/20/nikon-1-v2-camera-nikkor-18-300mm-lens-test-results-at-dxomark.aspx/ Very strange.

Thanks Jonathan, never good to put out a new product which doesn't come up to standards with the predecessor.

going to order a v1 and ft1 adaptor over the weekend ,i was going to go down the spotting scope/astroscope route to get more range but as the price of the v1 has dropped so dramatically there is now hardly any difference price wise and the v1+ adaptor retains all the functionality of my main nikon lenses . as i simply cant stretch to a larger prime lens this is the only way forward for me .it also if the bumph can be believed gives a shooting rate of 60 frames per second
