Buying into the Nikon 1 system

You make a good point about reality and expectations. I can say without reservations that I have no delusion (at least as far as I am concerned!) as to the potential and limitations. A few of the reasons behind my desire for the Nikon 1 system:

1. I want to be descrete when capturing an image (in many instances).

2. I wanted something of smallish size. I want to have it with me without being a distraction to me or others. I wanted fairly lightweight. I am not a pocketable camera guy. A wriststrap works nicely.

3. EVF(the add on ones aren't cheap and make camera a bit awkward by their introduction) The V1 is sweet with its integration.

3. Image quality:

I want decent file to start with, I am planning on shooting strictly black and white with some selective colorization.

I rarely print images.

V1 has better image potential than advanced compacts. I had the RX100 but it was too small and I didn't enjoy shooting without an evf. Sure, it offers some a great feature set and more effective resolution than V1, however, given my needs, the 10mp files will work.
