Getting too old for DSLR!

Actually that's not strictly true but I am fed up with carting 2Kg of D700 and glass around. I want to know whether the V2 will serve my needs. I know it'll not replace a full-frame sensor but I'm really worried about its ability to take shots of moving trains. Most reviews of mirrorless systems say it's no to action but the V2 doesn't actually say that albeit it does say slowish to focus in poor light. Or should I be looking Fuji or Sony. Bearing in mind the money for the big Nikon, I'll have about 1500 UK £ to spend. What on earth should I buy?
Tony; You bring up a good question, I'm also beginning to feel the pain of my D700! it has a grip! so i can trim a little weight off, I'm going to watch this thread and see how folks respond to it.

I've become more curious of the newer mirror less cameras, I shoot a varity of lenses on my D700 from about 17mm to 300mm but I'm one that falls into a 24 100 range of focal length, so maybe someone can make some suggestions how i might put this together, I do not want a camera with no optical view finder, I don't want to compose on a LCD.

Right now I like the V2, just don't know that much about it and how to set it up with lens, and I have 3 "G" Nikon primes I'd like to use on a V series camera using the adapter. I have the 28 50 and 85 G primes, maybe someone could give some good advice?

The DSLRs are just getting so heavy to carry around, I don't plan on getting rid of them, just not take out so often.

My main uses are just general photography, have fun and being outside.

Thanks to anyone advising. "dog house riley"
Just remember that the Nikon 1 is 2.7x crop so those primes would give a Field of View of 75mm, 135mm and 230mm.

Another option is to wait for the Nikon P8000 to be released. It is a fixed lens camera with the same 1" sensor as from the Nikon 1 series. The lens on the P8000 is 24-120mm f1.8-f3 and comes with a built-in viewfinder.
