I totally agree. I already have the J2 which I gave to my wife but got a used V1. Which gives me the EVF plus the option of getting the flash ( which I think sucks that they don't include it with the body). But it is great for what it is. It's a nice carry around camera with pretty good lenses. Its not going to replace my d7100 but it's nice to be able to carry around and not having to lug all that gear when you're just going for a walk. It's also more discrete than a dslr when doing street photography which was my main excuse for getting the J2 in the first place.

You might want to check out a V2 which includes the pop-up flash?
I bought mine at a great price and they are nearly half that now.

Guys, I want you to think FT-1 Adapter. Best $300 I spent on this whole deal. Look at the moon pic!!! Taken with my 300mm lens!!! That is with a J1!
i don't think I have anything that comes close yet with my D800!
The reach with these cameras is phenomenal! I am looking at the 1 system as my new LONG LENS, not as a camera. That is why I am considering a V3. Better resolution.
A good very good point made here is that the price of older models are really affordable, nothing wrong with getting a used one!!
i paid $300 for mine, including the flash repair:
J1
10-30mm
30-110mm
lexar memory card
nikon leather case
Delighted with it, 100% going to upgrade, I am sold on Capability.

One thing I would like to say, the more I use the camera, the more I greatly dislike not have the option for a viewfinder. The LCD screen in the outdoors, especially on a very sunny day, is simply useless.
