I keep thinking that the Nikon V1 would be a nice walk around camera but the X100 that I have provides that function as it is so small but has only a 23mm (35mm on FX) lens. In my view this is the only 'failing' of the X100. Of course now I have the XPro1 I am spoilt completely as its 16MP sensor is so good and so sharp it is the equal of my D3 apart from speed of focus.

The AF on the V1 is superior as it is very quick but the smaller sensor is for me a problem.
The V2 when it comes later this year or next year will be right up there as I expect that Nikon will have move the sensor technology forward so a CX sensor will have as good IQ as a 10MP DX of 2011.
The huge advantage of the V1 is that it can use Nikon AFS lenses but also the 10-30 zoom that is its kit lens is also very good.
