What the Nikon 1 System has over the Canon S95 is two things.

1) Its sensor is much larger than the S95 and
2) it uses interchangeable lenses… The S95 is an advanced P&S, but has no lens interchangeability

Nikon 1 sensor size = 13.2 x 8.8 mm
Canon S95 sensor size = 7.49 x 5.52 mm

The Nikon 1 - J1/V1 - ends a long Nikon tradition of using the "F" lens mount with the introduction of the "1" mount. There's an "F" to "1" adapter listed on the Nikon site but no picture or price.

Although the sensor in the J1 is larger than the sensor in the Canon S95, it is still considerably smaller than the sensor in the Sony NEX 5. The Sony NEX 5 uses the same size sensor as a traditional DSLR, giving it superior performance when compared to the J1 or S95.
