Closest I've seen to a universal carry-around camera

Re: Disagree, with respect to Nikon 1

I can't believe we're actually arguing about the Nikon 1. I thought they'd all gone to that big darkroom in the sky. Agree, they had the best autofocus I've ever seen in a small camera, but were inferior in almost every other way. The control set alone on the V1 was enough to make one crazy. And looking back at photos I took with my V2, the noise was worse than I expected. Too bad, I really liked them, hoped the V3 would have gone a different direction (built in EVF, for one thing). I think the system must have been designed by a committee. Or maybe Ashton Kutcher really did have a hand in it.

I would still like a really waterproof, good, 1" sensor or larger, camera, but it doesn't exist. The AW1 was too prone to leak, I guess the Nikonos designers retired
