I do not think the concept of the Nikon 1 was great. A smaller sensor than MFT, lenses with oddly unnecessary bulk, prices to match the MTF and APS-C mirrorless offerings instead of undercutting them. If you mean the concept of the name Nikon on them? 

The only thing that was (and still is) impressive is the speed and accuracy of the (PD) AF system, making them able of tracking well.

 

The only system that made less sense was the Pentax Q, but at least that had the size to match the sensor size.

 

 

As I said, the 1" sensor makes great images, so there is no need to compare with MFT.

 

Not sure what you mean about unnecessary bulk but the J5 is seriously small. I actually prefer the size of the V1 because it uses the same battery as the top-end Nikons which means that battery life is great.

 

As for pricing, who knows? I recently bought the wife an Apple Watch and just out of curiosity I went and priced Hermes watch bands. Do you have any idea what crazy prices these are? And yet Hermes reported record profit/revenue last year.

 

I just don't think that price is truly the/an issue.

 

What killed the 1 System is all the Fake News and Alternative Facts crowd.
