Nikon 1 v3: servo af @20fps w/ 105 af points + 40 raw buffer ...

Isn't this nothing more than capturing stills from video?

Why?

40 full rez raw files in 0.7 seconds ≠ video

However, that also shows they CAN sample the whole sensor at full rez and fast video speeds - which is something I think they're going to use to some video advantage in the near future. If they can keep the thing cool enough!

The sensor is still the one thing that bugs me the most. It's not even m43 sized. It's TINY. If Canon were able to do this with an APSC sensor it would be an incredibly impressive camera.

Even better if they were to put it into a weatherproof, drop-proof and water-resistant body. Now, that would be something I'd seriously look into.

Yup. I'm pretty much waiting for the AW2 unless they drop the price of the V3 by a few hundred dollars.
That 300mm zoom lens also needs to be fantastic for the system to be worth getting.
