Nikon 1 probably have the quickest autofocus if you don't mind the 2.7crop factor and you can shoot RAW 0.5-1sec 4K video clips. But the 5N will be better in low light. and the G12 is a heavy point and shoot.

If you're thinking 5N pay the extra for the 5R. The focus time is way faster. It probably also has the better image quality of the 3.

All of what the guys above said...i ended up going with 5R last week...amazed at how well it performs in low light, and the focus times are pretty stellar! So far I LOVE this thing...
Sold my entire DSLR setup and went to this instead...i'll defintely be using this a lot more...old setup was too clunky and heavy...

5R FTW!

I have also recently bought a 5r too. Love it. I love the 16-50 lens. Got it on dell for 200 bux off and 25x air miles. I think the 200 off is gone now but if you wait it always comes back.

I've never seen a Nikon 1 by itself on sale when I was looking at one. But blacks have some open box on sale online.
