Just first more complex comparison:

"Conclusion: By now it should be clear to everyone that if you are upgrading from a compact like the Canon G12 searching for more image quality, virtually any other choice of camera is better for image quality than the Nikon J1 and V1. In fact the Nikon V1 is by far the worst in it’s class for resolution and high ISO performance, in fact I’d go so far and say that for £850 it is a catastrophe against its peers. The Fuji X100 is far more interesting, more innovative, more fashionable and has far better image quality.
If Nikon had released this mirrorless camera 1 year ago it would have been FAR more competitive but all their rivals especially Sony have moved on in big steps recently especially with their CMOS and image processor technology. For the normal mass market consumer (not the enthusiast) the Nikon J1 gives you no real meaningful image quality boost over a high end compact like the Canon G12 or upcoming PowerShot S100 and no size advantage.
For average consumers looking for a Handbag Camera, the Sony NEX 5N is a far better choice for a genuine compact step-up in terms of image quality. "
Well, the web may be a bit (Canon EOS?) biased but basically they´re saying what I throught & said immediately after the introduction of the Nikon ms solution. Lets see how the (potential) customers will react... I´m still very pesimistic, though.

We are all terribly sorry to hear that you are pessimistic. I would be too if I listened to all the s... that the net says about a product that has not even been out, that nobody has really tested. I am afraid Nikon does not give a s... either! If they looked at this forum, they would be delighted to see that their product produces enough interest to, so far, produce 6 pages of comments. I can not remember any product that has created that much interest in the last year. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
