My usage does not fit any of your poll responses. My NX1 & NX500 continue to be my primary "large sensor" system, with the occasional use of my Sony RX1.

I also use the Nikon 1 (J5 & V3) a lot for my "small sensor" ILC system and the Sony RX100mkIII and RX10mkI as my fixed lens "small sensor" cameras.

All the systems work great and give me great results. The NX1 is my hands down favourite to shoot with when size doesn't matter, but so often, for how I shoot, size does matter, so the other cameras typically get packed along more often.

At this point I'm pretty thrilled with my gear and my only sense of GAS would be for a Nikon 1 V4 if it were to be released with the capabilities of the V3 (or better) and sensor of the J5 (or better).

The irony of my collection is that there's been a prevailing wisdom of not buying non-ILC cameras because they're dead end - when the sensor is outdated you have to throw out the lens too when you upgrade. However, look at what has happened to my ILC systems. Neither (Nikon 1 and Samsung NX) are officially dead, but both sure have the appearances of being discontinued by their respective manufacturers. Guess what I think of the prevailing wisdom now. However, I have managed to pick up some great additions to both systems in clearance sales...
