We love our DSLR to the point that any normal person would probably consider it unhealthy, but even we don’t take it everywhere. Even if you can cope with the size constraints (you have to have all your lenses with you all the time), you’re always worrying about whether or not it will get broken and eventually coping with an angry back. If you don’t want to deal with that you have two options: point-and-shoot or Instagram. Cell phone pics used to be the defacto answer to that, but now there’s a point-and-shoot that’s actually worth carrying around – the Nikon 1 Series. Available in J1 and V1 flavors, each point-and-shoot camera has interchangeable lenses and a 10fps autofocus along with the ability to shoot full HD 1080P video. It’s the M1 to your full-size DSLR M5. Just as fast and just as awesome in a slightly smaller package.
