Better. The user interface is getting closer to the DSLR's. And it looks a bit like an F3

I keep on reading that the 1 Series has been a great success (in China and France? Can't find any figures). I imagine this means the J1. If there is a strong installed base for the J series then the V2 looks like a perfect upgrade path for J owners. I'm not so sure about it attracting DSLR users who want something smaller.

It's the Paris Photo show in a couple of weeks. I'll check it out..

BTW: Still waiting for Nikon to put this 1 inch sensor into a non-interchangable lens body the size of the Canon S100. That's what Sony have done with the RX100 (with their own sensor). The Aptina Manager says that one inch sensors are going to save point-and-shoot cameras from the onslaught of smartphone cameras (Aptina make the sensor used in the 1 series which is now available to other manufacturers).
