So me and my friend have been talking and I thought I would ask the question hear.

Nikon 1 or Coolpix A what would you get?

That is sort of like asking should I buy a Ford Truck or a Chevy Volt.

Apples and oranges.

What is your budget? What do you plan on doing with the camera? Long built in zoom or multiple interchangeable lenses.

Figure that out first.

Also why limit to Nikon 1 or Coolpix? DSLR is another choice.

There are also many different CoolPix cameras.

I shoot the D5100 but I bought my wife a CoolPix L120. She loves it. I like to change lenses, fiddle with button and knobs and do lots of post processing. She likes to take pictures. WE both get good pictures.

Which one would you want. Money not an object?

As others have said, use the right tool for the job. If you need the capabilities of a SLR, then wait until you can afford one (be it new or used). I can't bring my SLR with me all the time for work but I can usually find room for a mirrorless. But when I can't even bring that, I'll usually have a small Canon P&S that can shoot RAW.

I think I would go with the Nikon 1 V2 because of being able to change lenses but I still do not like the sensor size of the Nikon 1. Although I like the idea of putting the new 800mm on the V2 with its crop factor of 2.7.

Cool...a digital fixed lens mirrorless with a smallblock sensor...$1000??? BIG BUCKS!!!

Give me a black one and would be the perfect street shooter.

They missed though...it needs a F mount.

It is coming soon folks!!! hahaha
