Doubtful. Part of the allure of the m4/3 is that it has been around for a while and Panny and Oly share the lens mount. It remains to be seen if the 1 series will gain any traction. Nikon really needs to adjust the price and probably also needs a new generation of sensor to get rolling.this has probably been said to death but such lens on a m4/3 Nikon system would probably have more enthusiasm than two replies....
That's exactly my point. For some odd reason, the Sony RX100 appears to be selling more than the Nikon 1 even though it has a fixed lens.I looked at the Sony, but it is quite expensive when I could get a refurbished J1 with the 10-30 and 30-110 refurbished for $320.

I don't see how you can say they will "always lose on the sensor" not knowing what the future in sensor tech holds. Nikon wins on AF, at least for now, but that could change too. On what are you basing your opinion that the 1 series has been a "monumental flop"? As for the Canon, it has not been well received by the reviewers, but I have no idea if they are actually selling any.1) lower price
2) smaller lenses (the current breed are not that much smaller than m4/3)
3) better cameras
but they will always lose on the sensor. I'm kind of happy it has been a monumental flop. All the more pressure they'll have to release an APS-C mirorless interchangeable lens system like sony and canon.
It is not going to matter what future sensor technology brings, as that applies equally to APS-C and m4/3 as such the reasons one would buy a larger sensor camera will still hold. the same argument has been made for decades about DX, and that hasn't made any difference as FX evolves forward too, therefore retaining its relative advantages. Sensor technology is therefore a moot point for the Nikon 1 series as the same technology will be in the sony E mount cameras, canon Mirrorless, and m4/3 gear. All pros and cons will fall the same way as they fall today. Did Nikon change the landscape with their CX offering and is m4/3 in trouble?I don't see how you can say they will "always lose on the sensor" not knowing what the future in sensor tech holds.
