[Leica] Nikon 1 System

[abridge at mac.com (Adam Bridge)]

I'm wondering how this fits into the spectrum of other recently announced 
cameras. In particular the Sony NEX-7 is looking pretty good. It's quite a 
different camera in some ways but it can mount an M adaptor and it has a 
measly 24 MegaPixels and probably a pretty decent low-light performance with 
the APS-C sensor at about twice the price.

I have the GF-1 which I enjoy but I think the NEX-7 could become my travel 
camera. Another lens system though and the dratted Sony memory-stick stuff 
which I'm not so thrilled about.

Decisions, decisions.
