Nikon 1 V2

The Nikon 1 V2 - body and design is almost identical to Sony's Nex 7 and Nex 6. Look at the dual dial. May be an old-schooler, I still prefer camera with a "proper" shape, like this one with a hump which houses the EVF and the flash, like Olympus OM-D5. The beefy hand grip makes the camera so much easier to hold also allows one-handed operation when necessary. For me, I'll choose this over the Sony if they offer similar IQ. At list price of $799 for body, $899 and $1,199 for 1 lens and 2 lens zoom kit, it's hard to choose Sony over this. Save the changes for an F-mount adapter, there are choices of Zeiss optics as well.
