Considering buying it?

No. Digital is just no fun. Except E-P1, of course.

I saw one in the shop last week.

Big, ugly and expensive !

Where did you see it?

Mediamarkt, Belgium.
It is bigger than E-PL3, looks cheap and bulky.
They should fire their designer.

No, I'd get a O/45mm f/1.8 first....

I have a J1....Nice camera.
But then again, most of my shooting is film these days.....

It's nice - I don't see µ4/3 or NEX users gravitating towards it......however, according to one Nikon rep, the target audience isn't exactly the experienced shooter. So the unanswered question IMHO is price aside, "are the unique features enough for sustainment".....?

Maybe the next set of cameras in the Nikon 1 will be a bit more impressive.

price aside, I imagine its a massive upgrade from a point and shoot. How's the ease of access? Is it easy to change modes?

Remember,
The experienced shooter is not the target audience - i.e., the things "we" look for in µ4/3 & NEX series.....

Initially,
The experienced shooter will be frustrated trying to find P,S,A,M modes because the change function is not where "we" are used to finding it.

Again, film has dominated me for the most part so I don't have that much time under my belt with the J1.....
