I thank you for your opinions on the two cameras. I do not have a small carry about which could be used as a backup should my D7000 got belly up at some very inconvenient time. There are plenty of times when I am just out an about and wish I had a good quality camera with me.
After reading all the reviews on the internet, well not all of them, and reading your comments, I find myself drawn to the x100 over the Nikon 1 V1. I think the over riding factor for me is the inability to change lenses on the x100. The Nikon 1 v1 would temp one to get the adapter and use all the lenses one already owns which would defeat the pocket camera attempt or backup emergency camera. I read reviews of folks taking the Nikon 1 v1 and they are already turning it into another body to attach to their 70-200mm etc.
I like the idea of a fixed lens and the return to my days when I had my FM and no zoom lenses. Don't get me wrong, I love my zoom lenses but for a pocket and backup camera I don't want another complete system.
Again thanks for the guidance and help and time.
