My problem isn't image quality of the V1. It's the cheap-o lens quality. They just don't feel like quality optics. Even though I have managed quite good results the 10-30 lens is already messed up. It also doesn't do autobracketing which is a minor annoyance I have managed to work around, but an annoyance nonetheless.

But my main point is that when spending a month traveling it is a major pain to haul around a big DSLR and even just a few lenses. Not just the weight, but the bulk also.
