Before I bought my used (but new to me) Nikon D7000, I had exclusively used my Nikon 1 J5. I went from the J1, then the J2, then the J3 and finally the J5. Took it everywhere. Currently have the 10 mm 1.8, the 10-30 PD zoom, the 10-30 mm VR zoom, and the 30-110 mm zoom. CPL and variable ND filters. Bag, tripod, half a dozen micro SD cards, extra batteries and chargers (including a car charger!), quite frankly, the works. I had a fondness for this little guy - touch articulating screen, 21 MP 1" sensor. But no EVF and a little 1" sensor. The D7000 has a DX 16 MP sensor with 100% optical viewfinder that gives fantastic photos and two-card setup and all the buttons and dials and menus I could ever want, including two custom setup settings, and I love using it everywhere with the 35 mm 1.8 and the 18-55 ED VRII 3.5-5.6 lenses. That's all I need.
Since buying the D7000, the little J5 has been languishing away.
Hence the dilemma: should I keep little Nikki or give it a new home by selling it?
No idea what it's worth. But money is not the object here; keep or sell is the object.
Do I need more lenses or filters or batteries or storage cards or bags or tripods? No. All set. Do I have GAS? No, quite content with the D7000.
No kids to hand it down to. Been busy spending their inheritance anyway.
So I come to you, dear reader, for your thoughts. Thanks in advance. John

Most people have a large and small camera so why not keep both? I also have Nikon1 j5 mirrorless along with the FT1 adapter, allows me to use my DX lens for my D7100 to their full potential. I wouldn't think of selling the j5. I use it as much as my D7100. Nikon went out of their way to make the j5 as tiny as possible, that's why there's no vu finder
