The V1/V2/G6 have a relatively small sensor, yes. But then the lenses tend to be small and lighter.
There is always a trade-off. PERSONALLY I do no hesitate to use the Panasonic GH3 (the G6 is similar) for my private photography sessions.
The G6 sensor is pretty good up to about ISO 800. The V2 to ISO 400.
The 16mp Sony sensors (NEX) may scratch ISO 1250 in terms of decency.
This depends, of course, all on your pain point. I think I'm rather critical.
If you want the best sensor there is up to APS-C, then we are talking about Fuji. The upcoming Fuji X-M1 is slightly beyond your pricing corridor though. The kit lens could be better here I think (not tested yet).
