For compactness ...X100


For short range interchangeable lens...EX1

For tele reach... V1

For price...V1

For image quality....?

For overal speed and ease of use.....?

Anyone want to fill in the blanks and add anymore?


For compactness..... XE1 is same size as X100 but is better specified.
For short range interchangeability add 18-55 zoom to XE1.
For tele reach ..... Agree V1 but x3 reach is gained by small CCD size so no further cropping without loss of quality.
For price.... V1  full kit now available for £430 inc 10-30 and 30-100 zoom lenses.  http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/prod.php?n=NikonNikon1V1+10-30mm&30-110mmLenses&p=2372
For image quality.... XE1 not as good as the D800 but as good as the D3.
For overal speed and ease of use...... Nikon D3S
The AF on XE1 or XPro1 cant compete with DSLR AF speeds and accuracy.

Reinforces the no perfect camera thought!   Only perfect for that situation of use.

Given that it is from Amazon, and easily returnable, at that price it's worth having a look.
