The Coolpix 5400 excels at macro shots, that's about the only
thing to recommend it.
Canon G5: excellent image quality and ergonomics, not a good
autofocus or low-light performer.
Can't comment on the V1, no first-hand experience with it.
If you don't mind the larger size, Sony's F717 can be had for
about $700 now and is a decent performer, with lots of bells
and whistles. It resolves an incredible amount of detail and
it's nightframing/nightshot modes are a blast. Color balance
is anemic though, especially in outdoor/overcast lighting.
